What Delaware Drivers Are Saying.

I have trusted Buckleys Wilmington location with both my vehicle needs from basic oil changes and alignments to more complex repairs such as control arm replacements. I’m confident every time I leave any of my vehicles with them they will be returned with all fluids topped off as well. Buckleys provides an in depth breakdown on all repairs along with photos and recommendations. I also recommend and talk up Buckleys to all friends and family.

My car was towed in with a ruined tire, and the young man drove to the supplier immediately to get a replacement... After a brief wait in their pleasant waiting room I was on my way. Also, they gave me the choice of getting an alignment, instead of just doing it and making me pay for it. Reasonable cost and friendly service!

Great communication. All services met expectation.
