Your Trusted Neighbor for Auto Care.Buckley's Auto Care

When you're looking for dependable, honest auto care in Delaware, Buckley's Auto Care has been the name families have trusted for generations. More than just a repair shop, we see ourselves as a vital part of the community, a place where you can come for expert advice and reliable service, delivered with the warmth and sincerity of a trusted neighbor. We understand that your vehicle is essential to your daily life, and our mission is to keep you safely on the road, with peace of mind.

Our story began on July 6, 1966, with a vision shared by our founder, Gene Buckley. Gene wasn't just any mechanic; he was a championship racer with a deep understanding of automotive performance and a seasoned regional manager for Firestone. He envisioned an auto repair shop where quality work and genuine service were paramount – a place where customers weren't just transactions, but valued members of the Buckley's Auto Care family. He built the business on integrity, skill, and a passion for cars, setting a standard that continues to define us today.

That enduring legacy is proudly carried forward by Greg Buckley, representing the third generation of our family to lead the business. As we approach our momentous 60th anniversary in 2026, we reflect on six decades of serving our neighbors throughout Delaware. This isn't just a business for us; it's a family tradition rooted in hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to our customers. We’ve grown up in this community, and we believe in giving back through honest service and expert care.

At Buckley's Auto Care, you’ll find that our approach is simple: we treat your vehicle as if it were our own, and we treat you like family. Our team of ASE-certified technicians isn't just highly skilled; they're genuinely passionate about what they do and committed to continuous learning to stay ahead of the latest automotive technologies. Whether you drive a domestic, Asian, or European vehicle – from a classic Ford to a modern BMW – our technicians have the expertise and state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to handle over 30 different vehicle brands with precision and care.

We understand that auto repair can sometimes feel daunting, which is why we strive to make the experience as transparent and stress-free as possible. We’ll always take the time to explain what your vehicle needs, why it needs it, and what your options are, without any pressure or confusing jargon. Our goal is to empower you with information so you can make informed decisions about your vehicle’s maintenance and repair.

To ensure your complete confidence, we’re proud to be a AAA Approved Auto Repair facility, a designation that speaks volumes about our commitment to high standards of service, cleanliness, and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, as a NAPA Auto Care Center, all our qualifying repairs are backed by a fantastic 3-year / 36,000-mile nationwide warranty. This means you can drive away knowing your investment is protected, no matter where your travels take you.

With two convenient locations, we’re ready to serve a wide range of communities across Delaware. Our northern facility in Wilmington proudly serves residents in Wilmington, Hockessin, Newport, Elsmere, New Castle, Pike Creek, Greenville, and Montchanin. And for our southern neighbors, our Millsboro location extends our trusted service to Millsboro, Georgetown, Lewes, Long Neck, Pelican Point, Peninsula Lakes, and Pot-Nets.

We offer a comprehensive suite of services to keep your vehicle running smoothly. From routine maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations to more involved work such as brake repair, check engine light diagnostics, and transmission services, we cover it all. Need an A/C tune-up before summer, a new battery for winter, or a pre-purchase inspection for a used car? Our team is equipped to handle everything from suspension and cooling system repairs to exhaust work, tune-ups, alternator and starter replacements, and even complex fuel system and wiring diagnostics. We also specialize in fleet services and ensuring your vehicle adheres to factory maintenance schedules.
