Fred Drake Automotive

As a newbie to the State of Delaware. This was my second experience with Fred Drake Automotive ... After research to find a mechanic to service my two cars I was happy to give Fred Drake an opportunity for my services. I am pleased, I will be back from the start of my on line appointment i was called promptly to accommodate another appointment date due to the mechanic being out sick for my original scheduled day. My coupon was honored with no problem. Very professional, comfortable, and efficient staff and environment.. Thank you Fred Drake for satisfactory meeting all my needs.

My wife's car suffered a bump with recent ice storm that caused damage to the oil pan. The damage was significant enough that the vehicle only made it to the house and had to be towed. Fred Drake Automotive was able to tow the vehicle within one business day and make timely repairs so that we had the vehicle back and running within 3 total business days. We were very happy with the customer service and timely repairs. Cost to complete job was reasonable. We were very happy with our experience.

If you own a higher‑end or non‑traditional brand vehicle and are tired of paying unreasonable service fees at dealerships, do yourself a favor and go to Fred Drake Automotive instead. I own an Alfa Romeo with very limited service options near me, and I used to drive over an hour to a dealership for maintenance. That all changed when my daughter‑in‑law, Jennifer Behm, recommended Fred Drake Automotive. They are the most honest, reliable, and dependable car service business I have ever dealt with. My main contact is Kevin, and I don’t have words to fully express his level of support and the prompt, thoughtful way he responds to every issue I bring as a very heavy driver. I trust them completely and recommend them without hesitation.

First, let me say that Jeff the person you deal with on the phone most of the time and picking up and dropping off is a gem. I’ve had two of my vehicles in there for various services since we started back in November 2025. I feel comfortable with Fred Drake automotive.

This was my first visit to Fred Drake Automotive. Every single member of the staff was super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating! This will now be my "go-to" shop from now on! Very affordable as well! If I were able to give more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you all!
