With 38 years in the automotive industry and a decade at the helm of Hinsdale Automotive, Darrell Weddell brings more than experience—he brings leadership rooted in integrity. His philosophy is simple: “Integrity is when nobody is looking, you still do the right thing.” That belief shapes every decision made inside the shop.
Darrell’s extensive background as an ASE Master Technician, along with his associate degree in automotive and diesel technologies, laid the technical foundation for his career. But it’s his commitment to people that truly defines his leadership.
He has intentionally built Hinsdale Automotive to be a place where growth is encouraged, learning is supported, and even mistakes become opportunities. By fostering a positive, team-driven atmosphere, Darrell ensures that every staff member feels valued—and that directly impacts the experience customers receive.
Darrell understands that customers aren’t just looking for car repairs—they’re looking for a team they can rely on. His compassion for his staff translates into a unified, accountable team that stands behind their work. When you walk through the doors at Hinsdale Automotive, you’re stepping into a business led by someone who believes in doing the right thing, every time.
When Darrell isn’t at the shop, you might find him scuba diving, traveling, mountain biking, or enjoying the outdoors—but no matter where he is, integrity remains his compass.
