Our commitment to honest service, expert repairs, and treating every customer like family runs deep, stretching back to our very beginnings.

Our story began right here on July 16, 1966, when Gene Buckley, a championship racer and former Firestone regional manager, decided to open his own shop. He envisioned a place where quality workmanship met genuine care, and that vision has guided us ever since. Today, Buckley's Auto Care is proudly owned by Greg Buckley, representing three generations of family dedication to our community. As we approach our 60th anniversary in 2026, we reflect on the countless vehicles we've serviced and the lasting relationships we've built, all while looking forward to many more years of serving Delaware drivers.

Furthermore, as a NAPA Auto Care Center, every repair we perform is backed by a robust 3-year / 36,000-mile nationwide warranty.

They made themselves easily available via cell or text; The team fully explained what I needed and should anticipate in the near future, and what was most important was they did not try to sell me unnecessary services, and provided proof of services performed. You can’t beat that. I highly recommend the Buckley’s Auto Care in Millsboro.

GEORGE HARRIS

Had a check engine light come on shortly after hitting something. They got us in quickly and back on the road just as quick. Price was very reasonable and as usual. We are extremely pleased.

While I, like everyone else, hates when auto repair bills arise, the team at Buckley‘s is always courteous, professional, and efficient in their work. I was on this occasion, as I always have been, very satisfied with the work.
