I have been going to Donahue Auto for 15+ years. As a woman, my biggest fear when taking my car to get serviced was being robbed of paying for services or "repairs" that were not necessary. At Donahue Auto you do not have to worry about that! The owners conduct this business with the utmost integrity. They are honest & they care about their customers. I would recommend them a hundred times over!! Thank you Donahue Auto for servicing the community & doing an amazing job!
