Dickess Auto Repair

"Absolutely trustworthy, most honest bunch of folks you could ever hope to meet"

"I cannot recommend this place highly enough. He is very honest which is hard to find with a mechanic these days. 10/11/2022 This is the only place that I will take my car. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would."

"Broke down in the nearby national forest at the midpoint of a ~4000 mile road trip from Miami to Los Angeles. Alone, female, clearly stranded, and with no option but to have my car towed into the nearby towns, I chose to have it towed to Dickess (the closest shop). I fully acknowledged that I was going to be at the mercy of this shop given that the car couldn’t even drive an inch, and was terrified at the cost and timing. I rented a car, camped in the forest, and wandered Ashland and Ironton for the next few days, desperately trying to think of solutions to get myself home in an affordable way if my car couldn’t be fixed. But everywhere I went, I kept hearing the same thing—that Dickess was run by a wonderful man, he won’t take advantage of you, you can trust him to do good work at quickly. And you know what? They were all absolutely correct. I had to wait a bit for the part to arrive (fuel pump), but wow. Dickess was so up front with the costs, so incredibly kind, and worked SO quickly once the part came in. And the labor costs were unbelievably fair! If there was a place to break down anywhere I’ve been in 8000 miles since I left LA in January, it was here. If it wasn’t 2000 miles from home I would pay them to do all my car work for the rest of my life. Just truly wonderful people. (And also thanks to everyone else in town—I really grew to like the Ashland/Ironton area! Everyone was so friendly and helpful!) This was for my 2007 Honda Fit Sport."

"As a single female I get weird about calling to get my car worked on, but already knew the issue. The receptionist I talked to was very friendly and since it wasn’t pressing she set up a time for me to drop it off and be looked at. They had told me the issue and has it fixed and ready to go in 24hrs. Speedy, friendly, and fair priced. Would highly recommend."

"The small shop produces big outcomes. Everyday John and his crew roll cars in and out of his shop at a hectic pace. They know vehicles and understand customer needs. And if you’re worried about getting scammed, don’t be. John lives his Christian faith so he only charges you what it takes to get the job done right. He lives his faith right down to every wrench turn. Great place for car repair and maintenace."
