HONEST, FRIENDLY SERVICE
Delbert’s Garage ‘Keeping you on the road’
MARYVILLE, Mo. — If it’s old fashioned, honest and friendly service you’re after then Delbert’s Garage, located at 714 N. Depot in Maryville, is for you.
The mission of Delbert’s Garage is “Keeping You on the Road.”
Delbert Worthington and his team of top-notch mechanics provide quality customer service at a fair price.
“I try to treat people fairly,” Worthington said.
Ever busy, the crew at Delbert’s Garage can repair just about anything that is wrong with your vehicle and has been doing so here in Maryville since 2003.
The home of good oldfashioned honest service, Delbert’s Garage does everything from brakes, air conditioners, tune-ups, suspension and steering work to computer diagnostics, fuel injection and electrical systems just to name a few.
About the only vehicles Delbert’s doesn’t work on are hybrids and electric vehicles
as there are so many specialty tools needed as well as different certifications.
From his clean and friendly shop, Worthington and his team can also provide routine maintenance and Missouri state inspections. From minor repairs to major overhauls, including replacing engines and transmissions, Delbert’s Garage is your true one-stop vehicle repair shop.
Growing up in Worth County, Worthington knew not long after graduating high school in Grant City that he wanted to become a mechanic. Upon finishing his certification at the technical school in Maryville, he went to work at a shop in St. Joseph in 1985. He returned to the area in the early 1990s to start his own family and he began working for Littleton Ford in Maryville until he opened up his own shop nearly 20 years ago.
Worthington is an ASE Certified Master Mechanic. ASE certification, also
known as Automotive Service Excellence, is the certification granted to an automotive technician who has completed the required training and obtained their Automotive Service Excellence Certified Master Technicians requirements. This means they are qualified to work on every mechanical, electrical component and system in a vehicle.
So when a customer brings their vehicle to Delbert’s Garage for service or repairs they can rest assured that it is being fixed and/or serviced by a reputable professional.
Besides himself, Worthington also has two other full-time employees and one part-time employee. He offers some simple, friendly advice to vehicle owners.
“Pay attention to what you’re buying and have (the dealer) explain things to you as far as features and maintenance,” he said.
Although it may cost a little more on the front end, Worthington explains maintaining your vehicle slightly more often than factory recommendations will help keep your vehicle out of the garage. Even though many newer vehicles advertise that the vehicles need less maintenance than before, he still recommends getting your oil changed every 3,000 miles. Although many synthetic oils are rated to last of upwards to 10,000 miles there could be hidden consequences much later in a vehicle’s lifespan.
“Spend the money and make it last,” he said. “A lot of things happen internally that you cannot see that can cause damage.”
Delbert’s Garage is open every day but Sunday. The hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
