GETTING HERE FROM LEWES

Your Millsboro shop, down Route 24

Our Millsboro shop serves Lewes. It's about 16 miles, roughly 30 minutes, via Route 24 through Long Neck. Summer weekends on Route 1 add time, so mid-week drop-offs are easiest in season. Lewes is inside the Millsboro shop's service area, so ask for a ride when you book.

What the coast does to a car

  • Salt air and sand. Living near the bay and the beaches means salt in the air all year. It speeds up rust on brake parts, exhaust hangers and the underbody, and sand gets into brakes and wheel bearings. A yearly look underneath catches it early.
  • Summer traffic. Stop-and-go traffic on Route 1 in July heat is hard on cooling systems and A/C. Have them checked before Memorial Day.
  • Cars that sit. If your car sits for weeks between seasons, batteries drain, tires lose pressure, and fluids and brakes can stick. We'll get a seasonal car road-ready again: battery test, tires, brakes, fluids.

Family-owned since 1966. Our Millsboro shop carries the same NAPA 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty as Wilmington.

“The guys did a good job of replacing the 2 splash shields on my 2012 Toyota Camry. At significantly less $$$ than the Toyota dealer estimate. Knocked off one star because they did not have a few replacement 13 mm bolts, despite that fact I had warned them a week before that some of those bolts were missing..”
