Donovan Motorcar Service

Brought my 1960 VW Bus to these "so called experts" to rebuild the engine. I should have known I was in trouble when asked by the mechanic what the torque setting on the heads were !? They had no idea what they were doing with VW's. They are a British car shop. 1,800 miles after the rebuild the valve cooked in cylinder number four. How did that happen ?! The genius they had working on my engine put the air circulation shields ON TOP of the cylinders instead of the bottom. You would do XACTLY that if you wanted to cook an air cooled engine slowly. Completely destroyed my engine. Sadly I moved right after the rebuild and experienced the engine meltdown 1,500 miles away. When notified about the problem I was told to ship the engine back so they can take a look at it (after I sent them picture

A great professional car service center. Their attention to detail, the knowledge of the mechanics and communication was above my expectations. Scott and his crew not once hesitated to call me and inform me about the things they thought needed to be done. I feel this communication is a important part of getting a car serviced. They set up a detailing service for me and the work was also outstanding. For professional service and top of the line work i highly recommend Donovan's Motorcar Service. They will not let you down!!

Dean has been really slow to respond with now 3 emails over the last two weeks with no response. It's been this with with them since the beginning as Dean is super friendly, but then does not followup, misses emails, and just is absent. I called Cathy to explain the issue at the front desk and she was super apologetic and then asked if I could work with Shawn where she asked if I could relay the feedback. I was then transferred to him and explained everything. No apology from him, he was nice, but just explained I would work with three people. I had to ask twice when I would hear back which was tomorrow so we'll see from Dean. Reading the reviews, I am extremely scared about how this will play out with costs and expectations. Be aware of this going on.

Astonishing how much they charged me for an oil change. Would have used them for repairs in the future but I’ll have to go somewhere else. By the way my first review ever. Should give one an idea of how much they overcharged me.

My experience with Donovan's was excellent!!!! I would highly recommend them. I was literally desperate and beyond discouraged with my vehicle when I brought it to them. I thought my vehicle was a lost cause. It couldn't pass inspection and then it stopped running. Quick backstory: I have a Mercedes SUV that, for lack of a better way to put it, I got completely screwed on. I thought I was buying a great truck, but instead, I spent a lot money on a truck with big problems and botched repairs. Some mechanics quoted me astronomical prices, and others wouldn't even touch my truck. That's how I ended up desperately calling Donovan's. And I wish I would've called them first. First off, everyone there was awesome, all the time. When I explained my situation to them, they couldn't believe it. T
