“D&S Auto did an exceptional job on my vehicle after being hit. The staff is amazing and always kept me in the loop. I would never take my car anywhere else. I also love the way they detail the car after repairs. Please consider them for all you body work. You won't be disappointed”
— Michael F., Mentor, OH

“Knowledgeable and professional team. I took my vehicle to D&S due to a deer collision. D&S helped with the rental and the supplemental insurance issues. One of the parts needed wasn’t available for months, so D&S repaired the broken part instead of waiting. The repairs look great! Looks like nothing happened.”
— Kim S., Chardon, OH

“Everyone at D&S Automotive was professional, courteous, and friendly - truly a pleasure to work with!! They kept me informed during the repair process - which only took one week! They handled all of the insurance paperwork as well as the car rental process. The whole experience was stress free! My 2024 RAV4 was returned to me looking like it did the day I drove away from the dealership. They even cleaned the inside!! I was so pleased with the entire experience. While I hope to never need repair service again due to an accident, I would most certainly return to them again. I HIGHLY recommend this company if your car needs repair following an accident.”
— Caroline Z., North Ridgeville, OH
