Ponte's Auto Care is a family run business that has been serving the Wilmington area since 1968. Jim's Father opened his First Auto repair shop in Philadelphia in the late fifties all along knowing that one day he would return to his home in Delaware.
In the mid sixties he finally returned to his roots and opened shop in Wilmington where Jim started his automotive career attending automotive technical schools and honing his skills, all the while being mentored by his father.When his father fell ill and was no longer able to operate the business, Jim took over and moved the shop to the concord pike.

Pontes takes excellent care of all my cars with a trust that they will get the work they need when they need it. The work is top notch and John and Mark are a pleasure to work with. Getting a small AAA discount is also a bonus! Another exceptional service experience! My car was thoroughly inspected and the oil change was completed within a few hours of leaving the car.
The air conditioning unit in your vehicle operates similarly to a refrigerator. Your vehicle's air conditioning unit is designed to move heat from the inside of your car to outside of it. The refrigerant carries heat. In modern cars, refrigerant is a substance called R-134a. Older cars' refrigerant is called r-12 freon, which is more expensive and difficult to find than R-134a.
Your vehicle's battery is the source of electrical currents necessary to start the engine. The battery provides power to your vehicle's accessories and electrical parts; it allows them to operate even when your vehicle's engine is not running. Additionally, components such as your engine and starter rely on the battery for power; they cannot run without a properly functioning battery.

I was on the road for my employment, when I noticed my tire was almost flat. Not being from the area, I just googled auto centers and found Ponte's. I explained my situation to a gentleman named Mark, and he told me to come on over and they would put air in my tires. He greeted me right away, and had one of the service men fill it up. While filling my tire, the serviceman noticed a nail in it. He asked me if I would like him to patch it, that it would only take 5 or 10 minutes. I was so grateful for their help, as I am on a timed schedule with my job. Service above and beyond is what it&apos

This review isn't about their service. It's more about the employees, especially Chris who's the general manager. My fiancé went in for an oil change and was told she needed some work done so instead of playing phone tag just to give her phone number so they can text about appointments. Not too long after that she gets a text from Chris and it has nothing to do with her car. He's saying things such as he had a thing for Asians and it was the other way around. Just things a scumbag would say especially since he knows she's engaged while he's also married.
