It all began when Patrick O'Brien left his tour in the Air Force as a mechanic. He had always dreamed of owning his own Auto Repair and Towing shop. In 1982, using his own personal knowledge and determination, DTR Automotive & Towing came to be. DTR started out as a single car garage on River Road in Hackensack, NJ where All American Ford currently stands.
Patrick moved to his current location in Closter, NJ in 1984. It is now managed and run by his son, Kyle O'Brien. DTR has been in operation and family owned for over 30 years. They continue to always put their customers first and entrust in family values.

My oil change was SO unnecessarily expensive. I asked for just an oil change, they did a full service on my car and then charged me for it without ever letting me know. The first time I went in, no one was wearing masks, then the second time only one person was wearing a mask. If you own a business you should really wear a mask when u have customers in the building. Then was disrespectful on the phone. Bad overall

First time ever being towed - so had super low expectations. I got a flat tire on a major highway - got on the phone with my insurance company and DTR was there to tow me away in less than 30 mins. They were kind enough to tow me to my destination. The cost was very reasonable (but again, I had no expectations prior) and they put on a new tire for me. Communication was excellent the entire time. I have their number in my phone now and if I ever need a tow (hope not!) I will be calling DTR.

DTR saw me through 10 years and 2 different cars, and the only reason that’s in the past tense is that I moved out of state. Pat, Tony and all the guys are honest and skilled and charge a reasonable price for excellent work. It’s hard to find a trustworthy garage but you won’t go wrong here. I can’t recommend them enough!

I have had DTR tow two of my vehicles a few times for various reasons, never had a problem with their services. I experienced professionalism and courtesy each time from what I can remember. On one specific occasion they provided a free jump start when i was stranded.
Recently needed repair work on one of my cars. Prior to going to DTR, I went to a dealership service center and another local repair guy in a neighboring town. I was given the typical crazy quotes and unnecessary repair suggestions that would cost me a few thousand dollars.
The people that I know in the town of Closter, NJ respect

Reinforcing what the others posted - AVOID this place. First - forget about towing. My car broke down a block from DTR and they charged $150 to tow it into their lot - one block! The old adage about a good mechanic is "honest, good work, reasonable price". DTR fails on all three counts. They're very expensive - ok fine it's Closter. But they do not do good work. And if you challenge them on this, they get very nasty and will tell you it's your fault. They will lie to your face about the problems. After my last visit (I decided to give them another chance - shame

DTR IN CLOSTER NEW JERSEY LOST THEIR MORAL COMPASS
My husband was in a bad motorcycle accident on Saturday. I understand the towing charge but storage fees? I called DTR Closter NJ the same day. The person at DTR Closter NJ said they were closed and I would have to pick it up on Monday. DTR Closter NJ said it was $40.00 a day to store the motorcycle. How convenient to live off of the misfortune of others. This company is sick and has absolutely no moral values.
SHAME ON YOU DTR TOWING IN CLOSTER NEW JERSEY!
