Dred Auto Service is a Newark Auto Repair that treats every car like the one in its driveway. We built this shop on a simple idea: explain the problem in plain language, charge a fair price, and stand behind the work.
Our customers are Local car owners aged 25-65 looking for a trustworthy mechanic with honest pricing. People who don’t want a sales pitch, just an honest answer and a vehicle that runs the way it should. Whether it’s a routine oil change or a stubborn diagnostic that three other shops couldn’t figure out, we take it on the same way.
