I hate to review a place with a bad review. But I had to get my car inspected and I chose this location due to it being so close to UNH. All summer I had the repairs that needed to be done on my car, so my car was ready for inspection. They ended up failing my car because my rear breaks and rotors needed to be replaced. So I went to buy the things it needed. When I got home for my dad to do them he was shocked that they failed my car for this reason. My rear breaks and rotors were completely fine. They also failed me because my windshield wipers left a streak on my window. The next day it was raining while I was driving, come to find out my windshield wipers were completely fine. They also failed me for my front grill having a crack in it. My grill is completely intact and not loose. They also failed me for my exhaust system. Which was one of the issues I had prior, it was something I repaired over the summer.My dad was shocked and upset how they failed my car for these things. I decided to take it to the garage I usually go to at home. They passed my car with flying colors. The inspector was also surprised they failed me. He told me my breaks and rotors were almost brand new. He said he didn’t notice anything wrong with my windshield wipers nor did he have a problem with my exhaust system. He said that there was nothing wrong with my front grill.My point being, this place is a complete scam. They are scamming college students in order to get business. If you go to this place for an inspection and they fail it, get a second opinion. I hope people see this before they go here.

New owners are slimy, much more money hungry than previous owners. Be careful and read through their "recommendations"

I was given a verbal quote on my car. They charged over $400 more than quoted not even using dealership parts. They also broke the sway bar and charged me for the part. When I questioned the cost being so much more than quoted I was met with yelling and eventually being hung up on. They are not honest or nice to their customers. I spoke to a mechanic and both parts and labor were charged above customary for the service rendered. I was right to question the cost and the reason I was yelled at and hung up on was Durham Village Garage knows they scam people. I definitely DO NOT recommend them to anyone.

I have a new car with 25k miles on it, which I bought one week before. I checked everything in another shop to be sure and the car was in perfect condition. I needed just state inspection and went to Durham Village Garage for that.They charged me additional 400$ because they said some parts of suspension needed to be replaced.I refused that because I was pretty sure my car is in mint condition.In another shop I did check inspection with no problems, they did a double check of my suspension and found nothing.Lying to customers is a fast way to lose them. I definitely do not recommend this location.

I had such a great experience at Durham Village Garage. My car battery had died and I got it towed to the garage. They were able to replace the battery very quickly and were super nice! I will be going here again!

Everyone I worked with here to get my car to pass inspection was very nice. They clearly cared to do a good job, and did so. Furthermore, they didn’t overcharge me. If I ever have issues with my car again, they can count on my business.

Amazing and friendly staff, super knowledgeable. Never reviewed before, but had to for this place. Had a car fail inspection at Jiffy Lube, gave the list of failures to the staff and they took care of the rest, and trust me, it is a junker car (2004 Sedan, 150,000 odometer). Got it fixed for half of the quote my normal mechanic. They even built a custom muffler for the car, since the muffler has been discontinued for the model. I can’t see why anyone wouldn’t recommend this place. Huge thumbs up!Services: Exhaust

If you are a UNH student like me, DO NOT go there because it is close by and you are too lazy to drive a couple more miles. They WILL scam you!! They failed my car inspection to get me to replace the catalytic converters and the entire exhaust system for $2.2K when it was a $5 fix to replace a gasket and the sealant between the catalytic convertor and flex pipe. Side note, a gasket cost $5 in AutoZone and they charged me $26 for it without labor fee.Services: Auto exhaust system replacement

Would give 0 stars if possible. My girlfriend had to get her car inspected and we chose here because it was close to UNH. First of all, she had to wait a week to be scheduled for a state inspection. Secondly, it took an hour to do an inspection. I have never had an inspection take more than 30 mins. They failed her for rust on her rocker panels even though the rust very very minimal (small 2 inch by 4 inch patch) on bottom side of panel. l have had cars pass with much much more rust. Most importantly, they broke the valve stem on a set of tires that was less than 2 years old with about 30k miles on them and claimed the tires were too old. This is a very shady business that will try and take advantage of your gender to get more money out of you. Do NOT recommend going here. If you do not believe me read all the other reviews for this place. Should have listened before coming here.

Just a simple state inspection but I was happy with their communication from the moment I contacted them. It took a few days to get in, which is fine - in case you haven't noticed, most businesses are short-staffed. Anyhow, everything went well and they were super nice. Thanks DVG!Service: Vehicle safety inspection
