Customer Reviews
I would not recommend this shop. I was involved in an accident on 12/23/25 and brought my car here for repairs. Dave, the owner, has a very rude and unprofessional attitude and does not communicate effectively with customers. Before picking up my car, I called to ask for an update. His response was dismissive, saying, “Do you know this is an accident we're talking about ” While I understand repairs take time, as a customer I am entitled to reasonable updates about my vehicle. When I came to pick up my car a few weeks later, I immediately noticed several issues. The gas light was on, showing less than 20 miles of gas, even though the car had gas when it was dropped off. During the test drive, the ABS and traction control lights were on—issues that were not present before the accident. I
They replaced my front headlight for my electric car way less than the manufacturer and they have excellent mechanics onsite.
I am so lucky to have got referred to dave about 15 years ago. Dave runs a fair shop. Pricing is reasonable and work is effective. He has done repair work on my cars and my family. I have referred many people to him who have said nothing but great things about him. Most people have many negative assumption about mechanics but not Dave shop. Dave auto shop is probably the ONLY mechanic shop i trust. If it is something Dave shop doesn’t do, he will tell you straight up and wont hustle you. Im moving to Texas in 2 years, i hope i find a shop out there as trustworthy and reasonable as Dave shop.
This place is my new to go mechanic shop these guys and Dave are awesome NO long wait ! Fair💯 NO PRICE GUAGING! GOOD WORK ! AND YES THEY WORK ON FOREIGN CARS ! I had a bad experience going to the porshe dealership or should I say (stealaship) over pricing breaking nuts of so you have to buy a hole new product that would leave you with a 2,000 bill. I came here and the problem was fixed less than and hour ! And saved alot of money. You want good work with honest guys this is the place to go!
A nasty experience with the owner, Dave. Beware of his malpractices! I took the car to him for inspection after doing many work on my car. I told him that my monitors were not ready I think I did not drive enough, he knew I was not going to pass after checking his scan tool, but he still decided to run my inspection to fail. He said next time you come you don’t have to pay, drive 60miles and the inspection should be good. I came to the shop once again, this time before checking myself with a scan tool, one of my monitors was not ready yet. I asked him if I should drive more, he said to come to the shop, to not only lie but also tell me to repay again! And also knowing that he might do the same scam of running and failing me again. If you do not want to be scammed, do not go there. Buy you
