Buckley's.Your Go-To for Auto Repair New Castle Can Trust

When you're looking for reliable auto repair in New Castle, you want a shop that treats you like family, not just another customer. At Buckley's Auto Care, that's exactly what you'll find. For generations, we've been serving our Delaware neighbors with honest, expert vehicle care, and we're proud to extend that commitment to the New Castle community. While our main northern location is just a short, convenient drive away in Wilmington, we consider you part of our extended family, offering the same level of trust and quality that has been our hallmark for decades.

Our story began on July 6, 1966, when Gene Buckley, a championship racer and former Firestone regional manager, opened the doors to our very first shop. Gene’s passion for automobiles and his dedication to integrity laid the foundation for everything we do. Now, under the ownership of Greg Buckley, we represent three generations of family commitment to keeping your vehicles running safely and smoothly. In 2026, we'll be celebrating 60 incredible years of service, a testament to the lasting relationships we've built and the consistent quality we deliver. It’s more than just fixing cars for us; it’s about being a dependable part of your life here in Delaware.

For our friends in New Castle, as well as those in Hockessin, Newport, Elsmere, Pike Creek, Greenville, and Montchanin, our Wilmington shop at 1604 E Newport Pike is your go-to destination. You'll experience the peace of mind that comes from knowing your vehicle is in the hands of highly skilled, ASE-certified technicians. We believe in continuous training and staying ahead of automotive technology, ensuring that no matter what you drive – be it a domestic model, an Asian import, or a European luxury vehicle – we have the expertise to service over 30 major vehicle brands with precision and care.

We understand that car trouble can be stressful, which is why we strive to make your auto repair experience as straightforward and worry-free as possible. From routine maintenance to complex diagnostics, we cover a full spectrum of services. Need an oil change or a new set of tires? We’ve got you covered. Dealing with a mysterious dashboard warning? Our team specializes in check engine light diagnostics to accurately pinpoint and resolve issues. Whether it's a routine tune-up, a transmission service, A/C repair, or a complete brake overhaul, we approach every job with the same meticulous attention to detail.

Our commitment to quality is further backed by our affiliations. As an AAA Approved Auto Repair facility, we meet rigorous standards for customer service, facility cleanliness, and technician training. And as a NAPA Auto Care Center, all our qualifying repairs come with a nationwide 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty, giving you extra confidence on the road, wherever your travels take you. We believe in transparent communication, explaining everything in plain language so you can make informed decisions about your vehicle's care without feeling pressured.

At Buckley's Auto Care, we're not just mechanics; we're your neighbors. We want to be the trusted resource you turn to for everything from battery checks and suspension work to cooling system repairs and wheel alignments. We even handle fleet services and pre-purchase inspections to help you make smart decisions. Our goal is to keep your vehicle safe, reliable, and performing its best, allowing you to focus on what matters most to you.
