What We Do

Complete auto care,
under one roof.

Brake Service & Repair

Squeaking, pulsing, or soft pedals—we diagnose and fix brake issues fast. Pad replacements, rotor resurfacing, and fluid flushes done right the first time.

Engine Diagnostics

Check engine light on? We use advanced scan tools to pinpoint the real problem—not guesswork. Clear explanations, no jargon, no unnecessary repairs.

Oil Changes & Maintenance

Keep your engine running clean with scheduled oil changes, filter replacements, and multi-point inspections that catch small issues before they become big ones.

Transmission Service

Smooth shifts matter. We handle fluid exchanges, filter replacements, and complex transmission repairs for both automatic and manual vehicles.

Suspension & Steering

Bumpy rides and pulling to one side aren't normal. We inspect and repair struts, shocks, tie rods, and alignment to get you driving smoothly again.

A/C & Heating

Delaware summers are hot and winters are cold. We fix refrigerant leaks, compressors, heaters, and climate control systems so your cabin stays comfortable year-round.

About Us

Neighbors fixing
neighbor's cars.

D & J Automotive has been a part of the Newark community for over 15 years. We started as a small shop with a big commitment: treat every customer's vehicle like it's our own.

That hasn't changed. When you pull into our lot on Albe Drive, you're not a ticket number—you're a neighbor. We explain what's wrong in plain language, give you an upfront estimate before we touch a wrench, and only do the work you actually need.

Our team is ASE-certified and stays current with evolving vehicle technology, from traditional internal combustion engines to hybrid systems. No matter what you drive, we've got the skills and the honesty to get it done right.

Why Choose Us

The difference
is in the details.

Honest Diagnostics, Every Time

We'll tell you what needs attention now and what can wait. No pressure, no upselling—just the facts so you can make the right call for your budget and your vehicle.

Fair & Transparent Pricing

You'll always know the cost before we start any work. Written estimates, clear explanations of parts and labor, and zero surprise charges when you pick up your car.

Fast Turnaround

We know your car is part of your daily routine. We schedule efficiently, communicate timelines clearly, and work to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

A Shop You Can Trust

We've built our reputation on repeat customers who refer their friends and family. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident—it happens when you deliver consistently.

"I've been bringing my cars here for years. They always explain what's going on, never try to sell me stuff I don't need, and the work is solid. Best auto shop in the area, hands down."
