Honest Auto Repair
You Can Trust
Keeping You and Your Family Safe and On the Road. Family-operated since Dale Dartt laid the foundation — NAPA AutoCare, ASE-certified, backed by a 5-year / 50,000-mile warranty.
Full-Service Auto Repair
Domestic or imported, simple maintenance or major repair — we handle it all with the same honest approach Dale Dartt built this shop on.
Scheduled Maintenance
Oil, lube, filters, fluids, belts, and the factory-interval service that keeps a vehicle out of the repair bay. The unglamorous work that built our name over 30+ years.
Book this serviceCheck-Engine & Diagnostics
That light on the dash means something specific. We pull the codes, test the system it points to, and tell you what's actually wrong — domestic or import — before a dime is spent.
Book this serviceHeating & Air Conditioning
Evansville summers and winters are no joke. We diagnose and repair A/C and heat — compressors, condensers, blend doors, the works — so the cabin's right in July and January.
Book this serviceBrake Service
Pads, rotors, calipers, lines, and fluid. A soft pedal, a pull, or a squeal gets inspected and explained — then fixed so the family stops short the next time it counts.
Book this serviceTires & Wheel Alignment
New rubber for any season, mounted, balanced, and squared up with a precision alignment. Done right, your tires last longer and the car tracks straight down Franklin Street.
Book this serviceSteering & Suspension
Struts, shocks, ball joints, tie rods, bushings — the parts that keep the tires planted and the wheel tight. We chase the clunk to its source and put the ride back.
Book this serviceCooling System Repair
Radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses, and flushes. An overheating engine is an expensive engine — we keep the coolant moving and the temp gauge where it belongs.
Book this serviceEngine & Transmission
The heavy work — from a stubborn misfire to a full engine or transmission job, backed where it fits by Jasper remanufactured units. We'll be straight about what it takes to make it right.
Book this serviceThe Shop, the Work, the People
Real photos from the Jacobsville bay — no stock, no staging. The same hands that answer your call do the work.

30+ Years of
Honest Repair
"Every customer treated like family — the way Dale built it."
Dale Dartt built this shop on 30+ years of automotive expertise — beginning at his father's service station. His vision: honest, affordable repair that treats every customer like family.
Brothers Jason and Aaron Eich took over in December 2021, carrying that same commitment to the Evansville community they grew up in.
Beyond the shop, we're part of this neighborhood — supporting the Dream Center, Evansville Rescue Mission, and Jacobsville's local association.
