What a great small business in Whitehall. I've been coming to Don's for years. He has helped me with quite a few things: brakes, oil changes, replaced a rusted out steering rack on my truck and a few other things. He'll give you honest work at an honest price. Thanks Don.
Description of Work: Synthetic oil change.

Don's car care is great. Don is extremely knowledgable about cars and doesn't take advantages of customers. He has serviced my 1987 Honda Accord and all cars I have had since then. He is trustworthy and only makes necessary repairs. Highly recommended.

the repairs were done in one day. the repair part needed came only in a complete package from Toyota. So he found an after-market part that was much less expensive. Instead of the whole canister being replaced, only the defective valve was replaced. that saved me money. Also, the staff was alert and noticed my low tire, repairing it with a plug.
Description of Work: replace defective exhaust valve in the gas line. and found that a tire had a nail in it. plugged the tire.

I have been going to Don ever since we moved to the Columbus area 8 years ago. His work is excellent, but above all, he is an honest guy so I trust what he says about my cars. If he can't do the work, he refers us to someone that can, but that has only happened with body work. I have referred Don to other people, and they too are satisfied customers.
Description of Work: Don did an oil change on my car.

I have been going to Don's for a few years for maintenance on my two vehicles. He does a great job reviewing what you really need and what can wait. I had a franchise company tell me I needed new rear brakes but took it to Don's and he said they were fine and did not replacing for 10- 12,000 miles. An honest and local company that does a great job, what more could you want...
Description of Work: Regular maintenance service on two of my vehicles everything from oil changes to brake replacements.

we called to make the appt. on a Saturday. Don explained that he may not be able to complete the job on a Saturday depending on what parts he needed. He called Saturday with the estimate and said he could complete the work on Monday, which he did.
Description of Work: full brake work: calipers, drums turned,etc. The brakes on this car had been completely ignored. It was a big job.

My husband called Don's Car Care on Monday morning to see when he could bring in our 2001 Camry for service. This was the first time either of us used the shop for our car repair needs. My husband told Don the vehicle was due for major maintenance, which included changing the timing belt and a tune-up. Don said to bring the car in Thursday morning. Due to an appointment, my husband did not get the car to him until mid-morning. Don called about an hour later to tell my husband the estimate for the work would be $1,000, which was well within expectation. He also said the tires should be replaced ($450), but my husband passed because the tires were still under warranty. My husband did not expect to have the car until Friday, but Don called at 5 pm to say work had been completed. The cost was just under $1,000, including tax! The car runs well, the service was outstanding and the cost was very reasonable. Both my husband and I would not hesitate to use Don's Car Care in the future.
Description of Work: Tune-up including changing spark plugs and wires, replaced timing belt and other belts, including power steering; drained and flushed cooling system, new transmission fluid, replaced filters, oil change.

The power steering went out, we then added power steering fluid that flowed right out. There was some hole or something in the hose that was hanging almost to the ground. Called Don and he was able to fit us in right away. The car was promptly repaired. What a great place! Nice to know that not everyone is out there to screw you!
Description of Work: Repaired/fixed power steering leak.

They always do a very good job. Their prices are reasonable, and they don't try to sell you something that you don't need. We have been using them for about 4 years now.
Description of Work: The starter had gone out, so I took my car in to Don's Car Care.

The front brakes had been making that grinding 'metal on metal' noise and it was high time to get them fixed. I was able to get an appointment and dropped the van off the following morning. Don called to let me know they'd found both the brake hoses were cracked and had to be replaced, the possibility of which had been figured into the estimate. My final cost was actually $40 below the estimate, as the wheel bearings were still in good condition. Don keeps a clean, well organized, professional shop, relaxed and conducive to doing good work. I've taken my van to Don's before and will do again as the need arises.
Description of Work: Front brake service for a 1993 Ford Aerostar minivan. They replaced the front pads, calipers, rotors, seals and both front brake hoses. Repacked the wheel bearings, bled the brake lines and also inspected the rear brakes, which were found in good condition. Replaced parts were worn out and had required replacement. When I picked up the van I was shown the used, removed parts and the van was as clean when I picked it up as when I'd left it there. There were no "mechanic tracks" inside or on the doors. The work was good and completed two hours earlier than anticipated.
