D & M Automotive Inc — Local services in Union

I just want to take a moment to give a huge shout-out to D&M Auto in Union, New Jersey. My situation was very unique I purchased a truck from a gentleman, only to find out the check engine light was on. It turned out the issue was due to two catalytic converters that had been stolen and replaced with aftermarket ones back in 2023. I bought the truck in 2025 and reached out to Dominic at D&M Auto to see if he would stand by the previous work and warranty the catalytic converters, since the truck wouldn’t pass state inspection. Let me just say Dominic is one of the best business owners I’ve ever met. He immediately knew the truck, had detailed notes in his system, and remembered the work that had been done. Without hesitation, he went above and beyond contacting the insurance company and fighting to have the converters covered under warranty. We’re talking about $13,000 worth of work, and Dominic didn’t give up even when the insurance company pushed back. The job was done perfectly, communication was excellent, and it’s clear he truly knows his craft. The only downside is that he’s 45 minutes from my house otherwise, I’d bring every one of my business trucks to him. It’s refreshing to see a small business owner who genuinely stands behind his work, treats customers right, and still thrives in this market. Dominic and his team are knowledgeable, professional, and honest. Dominic, you truly saved me and I can’t thank you enough. I look forward to doing business with you...

BEWARE!!! DO NOT take your vehicle to D&M!!! I had some work done to my car and will never be going back. They tell you that the car will be ready in a day and 2 days later you're still without a car. When I picked up the car the steering wheel was vibrating, once the car was put in reverse it vibrated even more. For the record my car was not vibrating at all when I dropped it off. When I called Dominick he said it's a motor mount and that he could take a look at the car, for me to bring it back to him. Not having had this issue prior to taking it to his shop I decided to take my vehicle to the dealer. At the dealer I was told the motor mounts were good, but what they did find was that the vehicle was missing a bolt from the steering column. The mechanic stated it look like it was recently removed, due to there being no signs of rust where the bolt was originally located. I asked if it was common for the bolt in question to be found loose or missing and he said "no you would feel a vibration in the steering wheel right away". Please have second thoughts of using this shop as I'm sure he's done this to a lot of people. They removed the bolt so that I would bring the car back in so he can charge me another fee. To make matters better I had to get the work they did to the exhaust pipes...

My vehicle was at another auto repair shop for 6 days so they can replace my brake lines. On the 6th day I haven’t heard any updates from them, so I called them and to find out that they haven’t even started or looked at my vehicle because they “didn’t have the proper tools to fix the issue.” I spoke to their corporate office and they said they would get my vehicle towed to where I want it to be towed at no charge. I just wish they could’ve told me they wouldn’t be able to fix it on the first day. Whatever. I got recommended to D&M automotive repair and spoke to DJ. He knew exactly what was wrong with my vehicle without even looking at it. Then Dom looked at the vehicle and walked me through what was needed. He and his son made it clear that it would take sometime to fix the issue I was having with my vehicle. DJ said it would take about a week to do the job, but they had it fixed 100% in 3 days. That’s the way to do business. Never over promise and under deliver. Thank you Dom and your team. You have earned my business and I will recommend my family and friends to...
