This is the BEST place to take your vehicle, no matter what’s wrong with it. Whether it’s a simple oil change or full scale mechanical work, whatever kind of vehicle you have, or where you live, bring your car to Dave’s Automotive!!! Jamie is an absolute rockstar, she takes such good care of the customers, she calmed our worries, and made us feel important. She is the #1 reason we will be coming back if there’s ever any issue with our car. The prices are very reasonable too. Five stars for Jamie, and five stars for the shop! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I broke down and even though it was closing time they took the time to talk and inform me on how to find a tow and get my car to their shop and how to leave it there so they could take a look at it the next day. It ended up being a bad battery and alternator <br />They were thorough, honest, price was fair. They were quick and so helpful to getting me back in my car and on the road again.

Driving to the airport we had a major malfunction with our vehicle. It was towed to Dave's Automotive where they were very helpful in quickly identifying the problem and patient with us while we worked on a solution through insurance. I would recommend Dave's Automotive for their helpfulness, understanding, and attention to detail. Thank you!

We love Dave's Automotive Specialists! They've been managing our vehicle needs for years, and we wouldn't think of going anywhere else. What makes this place special is not just the knowledgeable, professional, and friendly staff, but also their fair pricing. This truly is a business that caters to the average citizen who needs good service without paying an arm and a leg for it. Special shout-out to Jamie, the smiling face of the business when you first walk through the doors. We also have to mention Jeff, who is always welcoming and honest in his evaluations. Let's not forget the hardworking guys and gals in the shop who keep our vehicles running smoothly. The vibe is always that of a friendly mom-and-pop welcoming shop. We highly recommend this place and strongly encourage keeping Jamie and all your staff, as they help make this place special and the go-to for vehicle repair needs. Cheers!

This has been my trusted place to repair my vehicles for several years. The people are honest and knowledgeable and if I need something fixed unexpectedly, they are amazing at getting me back on the road faster than I can imagine. I like that they have a secure lot if you leave a vehicle with them and cameras if you drop off after hours for service or repair. They follow through with appointments and generally surprise you that they finish the job faster than I plan. Good people, great service, fair rates.

1 Star Review Subject: BEWARE $108 oil change ultimately cost us $12000 for a new engine We chose Dave’s Automotive based upon AAA endorsement and then established a relationship over the last year. After a routine oil change, we began having issues within 124 miles of driving from Dave’s. As we were driving up the mountain with no place to pull over safely, our Jeep’s low oil pressure warning light flashed. By the time we could safely stop, the Jeep was smoking. Towed to the closest garage. We were informed in the report that “an oil leak has been present for a long time” and later verbally told this has been an issue for many months and possibly up to a year of our Jeep leaking oil. When we asked Jeff at Dave’s why we had never been informed of the issue, he stated that it was written in the comments of the oil change invoice. Dave’s NEVER verbally said anything and they NEVER provided a quotation to fix our problem. They simply pointed to Jeep as the sole entity to blame for the loss our engine. If you’re looking for an auto mechanic who is professional with a high code of ethics, stands by their work, and cares for their clients and their vehicles, I STRONGLY DISCOURAGE TRUSTING THE ETHICS AND QUALITY OF SERVICE AT DAVE’S AUTOMOTIVE. Yes, I do expect Jeff to respond rudely and defensively… this is his business acumen.

They did an alignment without telling me that all four tires on my vehicle were separate tires 🤦. After taking it to different mechanic, they immediately told me right away. These people definitely don't have your best interest in mind. 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭: What a completely disingenuous response to my experience 😐. If they told me it needed tires, then why even do the alignment? How does that make any sense? 🤦 I originally did not pay for the alignment because the seller offered to pay it for me, which is completely irrelevant, you should provide a good experience no matter who pays the bill, but even so, I had to pay for a new alignment WITH MY MONEY anyway because of these people's disingenuous and incompetent service.. Please go anywhere else for repairs, they WILL rip you off and refuse to take accountability.

Best mechanic in the state. I will never go anywhere else if I can help it. They diagnosed an engine issue years before anyone else caught it, and I would probably still have that same car if I didn't start going to a mechanic closer to my house who "fixed" the problem and then misdiagnosed it. My family has been taking cars to Dave's for years, and my family has decades-old cars that still run great. Everyone here is honest too. They had the opportunity to sell me thousand-dollar fixes that I was ready to pay for, but they're the kind of people who say "let's try an oil change first." They even gave me advice about the DMV that saved me some major hassle. Their prices are competitive too, and I would stil come to Dave's if they weren't. I can't speak highly enough of this place.

Quick turnaround. Honest business. They communicated that I might need new struts but wouldn't know till the take off other parts.. rhey checked and when my car didn't need the extra struts they could have put them on and told me I needed them and didn't. Thank you so much!

I was recommended to Dave's by a friend who has been a loyal customer for decades, and now I completely understand why. I had my water pump replaced, and the service was fast, reasonably priced, and done right the first time. Recently, I went to a different shop for an oil change, and they performed an inspection that left me with $6,000 in repair estimates. I was hesitant, so I took my car back to Dave's. From the moment I walked in, Jamie and the mechanics treated me with genuine kindness and respect. They took the time to carefully inspect my car, explain their findings, and let me know that none of the repairs suggested by the other shop were actually needed. They were honest with me, even when it would have been easier, or more profitable, for them to suggest unnecessary work. Their transparency and honesty were truly remarkable. What impressed me most is how they treat car ownership as a vulnerable experience. Cars are complicated, and it's easy to be taken advantage of if you don't know what to look for. Dave's genuinely cares about their customers, and they go out of their way to ensure you're informed and not taken advantage of. Their honesty, transparency, and integrity make them a rare and exceptional auto shop. I trust them completely and would recommend Dave's to anyone looking for skilled mechanics who truly put their customers first.
