Alignments ensure that your tires are protected, and your vehicle will handle safety and track straight. And while it’s true that vehicles need to be aligned occasionally for no other reason than the occasional pothole strike or curb rash, more often than not, your vehicle’s alignment not feeling right is a sign that some of its steering or suspension components are worn out.
At D&D Automotive, we pride ourselves on professional outcomes that create happy customers. With that in mind, we don’t just align your vehicle, we ensure the underlying cause of your vehicle’s alignment issues are inspected and corrected before aligning it.

Does your vehicle take longer than usual to start? Does a battery-shaped warning light display on the dashboard when you drive? Are your lights dim or do they flicker while you are starting or driving your vehicle? Are you having to boost your battery to get your vehicle to start? If your vehicle is showing any of these signs and symptoms, it’s sure time to have your starting and charging system inspected.
D&D Automotive mechanics are electrical wizards. We can ensure that your vehicle’s battery, alternator, and computer-controlled charging system components and circuits are working as designed before an untimely breakdown.

Your vehicles exhaust system silences explosive engine noise, ensures harmful fumes exit behind the vehicle, and houses sensors that provide a critical feedback loop to an onboard computer about how efficiently your engine is working. If your vehicle sounds louder than usual; if you smell fumes in the cabin; or if there is a warning light displayed in the dashboard, it’s sure time to have your exhaust inspected.
D&D Automotive not only has the knowledge and expertise to handle any of your exhaust issues, we also possess an exhaust pipe bender in house – a piece of equipment that allows us to do a whole lot with exhaust that other shops can’t. In other words, we can step up the quality, and step down the cost of exhaust repairs.

Your vehicle’s air conditioning (AC) system is made up of many components. Unfortunately, if any one of them fails, you get the same result – no cool, comfortable air.

Vehicles of today are more advanced than ever. Shoot, much of the technology in rocket ships, they use in your vehicle. Advanced driver assist systems such as Blind-spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane-keep Assist, to name a few, rely on radar, cameras, and ultrasonic distance sensors to scan the road and other vehicles around you. What’s more, your vehicle has sensors all throughout, along with dozens of computers, which all process mountains of data at lightning speeds over advanced communication networks controlling countless systems.
D&D Automotive technicians are highly trained professionals who maintain a very high degree of working knowledge about these systems. We are equipped to diagnose and repair these highly complex systems with efficiency to take some of the sting, and the mystery, out of the problem.

No one disputes that modern vehicles are complex. Some people equate their complexity with the human body, and good mechanics with doctors. Frankly, the more complex vehicles get, the more problems they can have, and the more knowledge, skill and expertise one has to possess to solve those problems. Enter the automotive diagnostician.
D&D Automotive, unlike most shops, boasts having multiple grade A diagnosticians within its four walls. This is extremely uncommon in the trade, and something we are proud of, as diagnostics date back to our roots, some 3 decades ago. We offer real deal troubleshooting - testing, not guessing. Perhaps more than any other shop in the Quinte region, our customers can count on D&D’s diagnosticians to efficiently and accurately get to the root cause of any of those pesky lights in your dash, any mysterious electrical or engine performance gremlins, or any elusive noises and vibrations.
