Highly Reccomended
I am actually still amazed at how quickly and efficiently the staff at Danvers Auto Engineering was able to correct an emissions issue I've been experiencing for years. I drove in with a check engine light and a bright red reject sticker thinking this was the end for the old 4Runner. Two hours later, engine code solved- new inspection sticker- Happy Days.

I have been using this shop for approximately 25 years; through 2 different vehicles. The staff are always helpful, courteous, and explain things in terms that I understand. It started as a convenience as the shop is close to my job, but I do appreciate that these guys do fair and decent work on my cars. I do recommend them whenever I can.

Excellent service for my old car. ... and now my brand new one!
The Elliotts and mechanics, especially Artie, of Danvers Auto Engineering provide great service for my auto, and stand behind their work. I have been a customer for almost three decades. They accommodate my schedule and needs too. The team goes above and beyond to try and find the root cause to any issue, and I have not known them to steer me to unnecessary repairs. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Excellent Work - Fair Price - Great People!
This was our first visit to Danvers Auto Engineering. They've been around forever (they must be doing something right) so we decided to give them a try. They did a great job at a fair price on time and according to their estimate. We were satisfied. They REALLY IMPRESSED us with how they handled the problem that arose. One of the AUDI OEM parts they replaced (Brake Rotor) was making a noise and turned out to be defective - they replaced it with a new one and everything is perfect now.

fast & professional
This family run business knows what it takes to keep your car running well. They will do the work you requested and let you know what is needed in the future in order to avoid serious safety issues, expenses or damage! How many dealerships notify you that your timing belt needs to be changed...if it fails your car is totaled! Their systems track your car's service record and even tell them when to email you that your oil needs changing or inspection sticker needs to be renewed...I don't know of another dealership or mechanic that does this. If you are too busy to track your car's maintainance record to insure one of your biggest investments is protected, safe to operate and free from costly unexpected repair costs, you need Danvers Auto Engineering.

Inspection
I was very happy about how clean the waiting area was and how helpful the people were when I brought my car in for its inspection. They took my e-mail to send out a reminder when I need the car inspected in the future, and the service was quick. They also let me know about my registration sticker which was going to expire soon! Being new to the area, I am so happy to discover this place and will definitely be back.

I had a challenging issue with my 2012 Cadillac SRX. The heat would work on occasion. It became frustrating. The indicator troubles on the dash did not help me try to figure this out. I asked DAE to take a look at it. It was diagnosed as a faulty thermostat. The Cadillac thermostat is more complicated than the ones I remember 40 years ago. Art showed me the defective assembly. It was clear that the thermostat was not sealing properly. I was also very pleased that they discovered a few other minor issues I was well aware of. They took care of the minor as well. The best part is that I received a very thorough receipt. Everything was detailed and explained. I traveled 25 miles to find DAE and I will be back. I strongly recommend Danvers Auto Engineering.

The folks at Danvers Auto Engineering have been servicing my 1998 Honda Civic for the 12+ years that I have had it. They are always professional, timely and reasonable. Tom and Artie explain issues in terms that I understand and they always let me know if something is "do it now" or "it can wait a few weeks", because they know that money is a factor. I recommend this business to those with whom I work, as well as friends.

Disapointing
After spending $450 on an emissions solenoid valve, less than 1 week later the check engine light was back on. An additional $160 to replace another solenoid valve. They would not give me any discount due to not properly identifying the problem the first time. Wish I had taken it to the dealer instead.
