Enhancing Fuel Efficiency
The experts at Darrell's Auto Service and Towing are capable of thoroughly inspecting your vehicle and performing services that can elevate its performance, leading to improved fuel efficiency and overall economy. These assessments and services may include the following items:
Fleet Maintenance and Repair
As a fleet owner, maintaining the roadworthiness of your fleet is very important. When a vehicle within your fleet is out of commission, it not only affects your business's profitability but also jeopardizes your reputation for reliability. To ensure that your fleet of trucks/vehicles remains operational at all times, it's crucial to collaborate with a professional auto repair shop.
We are well-equipped to manage your fleet's repair and maintenance requirements. We ensure that your servicing is in line with both the latest standards and the stipulated schedules. Our expert team takes on the complete spectrum of fleet repairs and maintenance.
Free Local Pickup and Delivery with Repairs By Appointment
In some cases it may be much more convenient for you if we pick up your car for service and deliver it back to you after service is completed. We do offer this service for local customers
This approach saves you both time and money. Pickup and delivery services can either be free or may involve a fee. We aim to simplify the process of having your vehicle serviced or repaired, minimizing any stress or inconvenience. Kindly note that this service is contingent on the scheduling of an appointment.
Hubs, Seals, Studs, & Nuts
A wheel hub motor, also referred to as a wheel motor, is an electric motor incorporated into the wheel hub and drives it directly. You can have a safer and smoother ride today by replacing your warped and worn out wheel hubs. Let Darrell's Auto Service and Towing replace your worn out hubs today.
Properly working seals provide oil and grease sealing - offering enhanced performance in a wide range of temperatures and environments. Worn out or warped seals allow external contaminants to enter the bearing unit or let lubricant escape from the unit. This ultimately leads to premature failure of the bearing unit. To keep out contamination and retain lubricant in the bearings, have the seals replaced with new ones. To have the seals replaced by experts, contact or visit Darrell's Auto Service and Towing today.
Studs are the threaded fasteners that hold on the wheels of your truck. The wheel studs are permanently mounted on the wheel hub through the brake disk or brake drum. To secure the wheel, nuts (lug nuts) are fastened over the stud. Stripped wheel studs can be quite dangerous. Damaged wheel studs should be replaced with new ones immediately. To have your truck's wheel studs replaced with high quality ones, call 203-626-9741 or visit Darrell's Auto Service and Towing today.
A wheel nut or lug nut is a fastener for securing a wheel on the hub. A set of lug nuts are used to secure a wheel to the threaded wheel studs (which are fixed to a wheel hub). Worn out nuts means one thing - the wheel is not fixed securely on the vehicle which puts the vehicle at the risk of rolling over. To have your truck's wheels securely fastened to the hub, contact or visit Darrell's Auto Service and Towing in Wallingford, CT 06492 today.
Most Extended Warranties Accepted
An extended warranty (also known as a service contract) can provide peace of mind to most car buyers. The warranty (or service contract) kicks in after the usual manufacturer warranty has expired. An extended warranty covers major breakdowns and evens out the cost of repairs. Unfortunately, not all auto repair shops accept extended warranties. At Darrell's Auto Service and Towing in Wallingford, CT 06492, we accept most extended warranties. We let you use the service contract to save on auto repair costs.
On-Site Welding
Welding is an essential process in the fabrication and sculpting of metal parts. We offer a range of welding services. Please feel free to give us a call at 203-626-9741 or visit our workshop in Wallingford, CT.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Are you planning to buy a new car? Don't take chances. Be confident about the car you are buying. Have pre-purchase inspections performed on the vehicle. Pre-purchase inspections involve examining the car's condition to ensure it is worth buying. At Darrell's Auto Service and Towing, we have pre-purchase inspection experts - mechanics who will scrutinize any car, make, and model and allow you to make an informed decision. Pre-purchase inspections will definitely give you peace of mind when you buy your next used car.
Pre-Trip Inspection
The importance of a pre-trip inspection cannot be overstated, as it can be the decisive factor between a safe journey and one that ends in disaster. This inspection aims to identify potential defects and mechanical issues that might lead to accidents or breakdowns. Before embarking on your trip, it is essential to ensure that your vehicle undergoes a comprehensive safety inspection. Feel free to drop by or give us a call at 203-626-9741.
RV Repair
Encountering issues with your recreational vehicle can be challenging. It's crucial not to entrust your RV to just any mechanic. For all your RV repair and maintenance needs, do not hesitate to contact us or visit our shop.
Trailer Hitches, Wiring and Tires
Although a trailer lacks its own engine, it still requires regular maintenance. This includes the management of wiring to facilitate the transmission of current to the brake lights and other lights situated at the rear of the trailer. At Darrell's Auto Service and Towing, we have skilled and experienced electricians who are well-equipped to handle the maintenance of your trailer.
Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are located within the wheels and enable them to rotate freely while being connected to the brake system. Over time, these bearings can wear out, leading to a vibrating suspension and audible rubbing noises during driving. If they break down completely, the vehicle becomes extremely difficult to control and unsafe to drive. The replacement interval for wheel bearings can vary significantly, but it is essential to periodically check them for any leaks or signs of wear.

Reviews
what our customers say
My car was in the shop and I borrowed my mother's. It died on the highway and Geico was able to get me a tow much sooner than AAA. The driver arrived exactly when he told me he would, and was a very capable, nice, pleasant young man. Cody got into the car, which due to the mechanical issue, locked with the keys inside it and was very empathetic when I explained my issue of PTSD on highways, the result of an accident. He drove carefully, was a good conversationalist and was careful to check my taste in music. I would absolutely recommend this company. They were quick, efficient and have an excellent staff. Thank you!
I had a really good experience, I would highly recommend anyone to use this company. My car was towed with great care, my lower ball joint were broken and I was concerned that they wouldn't be able to put the car on the tow truck. But Luis reassured me that it will be ok and was very polite. He treated my car like it was his.
I've been using Darrell's for 5+ years now. I wish I found them sooner! They're the best Auto Repair shop I've ever dealt with. They're reliable, trustworthy, VERY knowledgeable, and the entire crew are just "good people". They care about their customers and take an extreme amount of pride in what they do. Whether it's routine maintenance, or issues with your vehicle, you can absolutely TRUST they will do a great job. I have 3 children, with a couple older vehicles in the mix and they always make sure they're safe and road ready. For my newer vehicle, I'd been using a dealer for quite some time. After first going to Darrell's through a neighbor's recommendation, I found out the dealer wasn't providing nearly the same level of service that Darrell's does. They go above and beyond to make sure your vehicle is in the best shape possible. Thanks to Darrell, Chris, Leon, Lori and the entire crew!
I want to give a shout-out to Brian who towed my car last night during torrential rain. He was very kind and somehow got me in and out of the tow truck safely. I am almost 72, so this was not an easy feat. He also went beyond the call of duty and put my garbage bin and recyclable bin out near the road for pickup today. I can't thank him enough. And thank you for your service in the Navy.
