GETTING HERE FROM HOCKESSIN
Your Wilmington shop, a short drive away
Route 41 runs from Hockessin to Prices Corner as Lancaster Pike, then Newport Gap Pike. Our Wilmington shop is a few minutes east of there, close to the I-95 and Route 141 interchanges. For most of Hockessin that's roughly 8 to 10 miles, about 20 minutes outside rush hour.
Dropping off on the way to work? We text a digital inspection, with photos of anything we find, so you can approve work from the office. Hockessin is inside the Wilmington shop's service area, so ask for a ride when you book.
What Hockessin roads do to a car
Hills and back roads. Grades and winding roads work brakes harder than flat highway miles, so pads, rotors and fluid wear faster.
Winter salt. The state salts and brines Route 41, Route 7 and the main roads all winter. Salt sits on brake lines, fuel lines and the underbody, so a spring check of what's under the car pays off.
Commuting. Daily runs into Wilmington and along the Route 141 corridor add miles quickly. Mileage-based maintenance matters more than the calendar.
We've been fixing cars for Delaware families since 1966. Every qualifying repair carries a NAPA 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty.
