Services
While we are caring for your car, you can rest assured that it will be kept on-site in safe, clean and dry storage. But at Donovan Motorcar Service, it isn't just about the automobile. We appreciate the love you have for your car, and strive to keep you informed of the progress on your car's project.
We offer clean, dry, safe storage for your prized car at Donovan Motorcar Service. We recommend servicing your car before any long term storage. Oil contaminated with acid and dirt from combustion is replaced with fresh new oil. Fuel Stabilizer is added to a full tank of fresh fuel to reduce the absorption of moisture.
Any classic car owner knows that a car that is not properly maintained can be temperamental and often times things can go awry in a moment's notice. When you're having difficulties with your classic car, it doesn't seem right to trust anyone other than an expert with the task of rejuvenating it. That's why Donovan Motorcar Service offers top-notch restoration of your late-model British, European or domestic automobile.
Donovan Motorcar Service's expansive showroom provides a friendly atmosphere for you to view our wide selection of classic cars. Our knowledgeable and passionate staff is always on hand to answer your questions or provide you with details of some of the breathtaking machines that grace our showroom floor.

We were from out of state, and anxious to get home, when the convertible roof on my husbands brand new car malfunctioned and wouldn’t close, only half way into the trunk. In the process both sides of the hard roof became gouged-brand new car!!!
One phone call to Donovan’s and within 15 to 20 minutes they dropped their work and managed to get the hard top settled and the trunk closed.
The issue was with the machinery of the car, and by looking, reading the care journal and simply ‘knowing his stuff’ Scott and his crew had it under control without any further new damage.

BUYER BEWARE - I confirm a lot of these other comments - they are awful at communicating their bills, which skyrocket once you get in the door. They are masters at finding problems, underestimating them and then explaining how they bill grew so much so fast. Beware of their STORAGE FEES while they work on your car - I'd spend thousands of dollars and they then also jack me for storage fees. Really disappointing, going to look for another shop.

My experience with Donovan's was excellent!!!! I would highly recommend them. I was literally desperate and beyond discouraged with my vehicle when I brought it to them. I thought my vehicle was a lost cause. It couldn't pass inspection and then it stopped running. Quick backstory:
I have a Mercedes SUV that, for lack of a better way to put it, I got completely screwed on. I thought I was buying a great truck, but instead, I spent a lot money on a truck with big problems and botched repairs. Some mechanics quoted me astronomical prices, and others wouldn't even touch my truck. That's how I ended

A great professional car service center. Their attention to detail, the knowledge of the mechanics and communication was above my expectations. Scott and his crew not once hesitated to call me and inform me about the things they thought needed to be done. I feel this communication is a important part of getting a car serviced. They set up a detailing service for me and the work was also outstanding. For professional service and top of the line work i highly recommend Donovan's Motorcar Service. They will not let you down!!

Had the convertible top of my 1964 Thunderbird repaired at Donovan. It came with a year warranty. It stopped functioning in less than a year and they did not honor the warranty. I was told that because it was due to a faulty solenoid it was not covered. Not going there for restoration of my current collectible car.

My daughter's Volvo broke down on 90 at the rest stop in Lee. She called me in Central PA - so what do I do from 6 hours away?? Called Donovan and spoke to Brian and they took care of her. They arranged the AAA tow truck, brought the car to their facility, found the problem - which was luckily pretty minor but would have been very hard to find for a shop that didn't know Volvos - fixed up the car and test drove it to make sure she would be safe in continuing on her travels. Dean called me a couple times to keep me in the loop and let me know that they were taking care of her and the vehicle. Felt

I'm a summer resident of the Berkshires and had two incidents with my Porsche that I would normally have driven 40+ miles to a dealer to fix but decided to give them a try. In the first situation the Porsche dealership prepared me for $1,500 to $2,500 repair. Larry at Donovan's was able to fix it for about $100. He could have done the extensive work that Porsche told me it needed but he suggested I try another solution first and see if it works. 2 years later it's still working perfect. The next time was brakes and they were reasonably priced, had the car ready when promised, and a pleasure to
