At Buckley's Auto Care, we believe that keeping your vehicle running smoothly shouldn't be a mystery or a hassle. For generations, we've been the trusted neighbors in Delaware, providing honest, knowledgeable, and reliable auto repair. When you need AAA Approved auto repair Delaware, you can count on us. Our story began on July 6, 1966, when Gene Buckley, a championship racer and Firestone regional manager, opened our doors. Today, his grandson, Greg Buckley, continues that legacy of excellence, making us a proud three-generation, family- and veteran-owned business. As we approach our 60th year of service in 2026, we're more committed than ever to upholding the standards that have earned your trust, especially as a AAA Approved Auto Repair facility and a NAPA Auto Care Center.
Why Choose a AAA Approved Auto Repair Center?
When you see the AAA Approved Auto Repair sign at Buckley's Auto Care, it's more than just a logo; it's a promise of quality and integrity. To earn this prestigious designation, auto repair shops must meet and maintain rigorous standards for facility appearance, customer service, staff qualifications, and repair equipment. AAA conducts thorough inspections and ongoing monitoring to ensure these high benchmarks are consistently met.
What does this mean for you? It means peace of mind. As a AAA member (and even if you're not!), you can trust that when you bring your vehicle to our Wilmington or Millsboro locations, you're choosing a shop that stands behind its work. We adhere to fair pricing, provide clear estimates, and prioritize your satisfaction above all else. Finding reliable AAA Approved auto repair Delaware residents can count on is crucial, and we're proud to be that choice for communities like Wilmington, Hockessin, Newport, Elsmere, New Castle, Pike Creek, Greenville, Montchanin in the north, and Millsboro, Georgetown, Longneck, Pelican Point, Peninsula Lakes, and Pot-Nets in the south.
The NAPA Auto Care Difference: Nationwide Warranty and ASE-Certified Expertise

When you choose a NAPA Auto Care Center, you benefit from repairs performed by ASE-certified technicians – experts who have passed rigorous industry exams and stay current with the latest automotive technology.
