Here Are The Receipts.

Verified customer reviews from Google and SureCritic.

★★★★★

Road trip from Boston to Georgia in our Silverado Duramax. Emissions warning hit in NJ. Kenny and Larry took us in immediately, diagnosed a bypass valve, and quoted 8.5 hours. Repair took 15 — they stuck to the original estimate. They could've completely screwed us over. Chose not to.

Polite, professional and expert mechanical skill set. First Choice is a reliable and cost effective "first choice." Scheduled a brake job and oil change for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The job cost exactly what was quoted and was completed in a few hours — as promised. You can trust Kenny and his crew. Highly recommended.

First Choice has taken care of the fleet of BrightFields, Inc., where I am Operations Manager, for several years. They are responsive, dependable, and provide quality service. First Choice fixed a huge problem we had been dealing with in our fleet, where our trailer wiring didn't consistently work with our truck wiring. At our request, they rewired all trucks and all trailers, and solved our biggest issue quickly.

I'm a warehouse manager for the Wilmington Housing Authority. We have trusted First Choice with our fleet for over 20 years. They offer great service and very reasonable pricing on the work they do. I would definitely recommend First Choice to anyone looking for great car service.

Came in for a routine oil change and was told that brakes were also needed. They were very professional, great price, and considerate of my time scheduling. Highly recommend — outside of the Lexus dealership.

For years now the truck that I depend on to make a living has been serviced well by First Choice. My everyday car I also have serviced there and highly recommend to anyone who wants the job done right and intends to get the full life out of a vehicle.

These guys are by far the best mechanics for diesel trucks that I've been to. They are fair and reliable and do great work.
