Brought our car in around Sep/Oct of 2024 just for an ESTIMATE. It’s now the middle of June 2025 & I’ve called multiple times waiting weeks on end and now months. Called back finally after 5 months giving Tim time and still the same answer “haven’t gotten to it call back in a couple weeks.” We’ve always given him good business so I’m not sure why he’s stalling on at least an estimate. Really disappointed that I won’t be bringing my business back here and to think just a couple years ago we rated 5 stars after he fixed my rack and pinion.
Haven't had my car back in 4months with no phone calls. Avoid this business. Reporting to BBB
I've been bringing my vehicles to Dave's for nearly 20 years. I have always felt that I got a fair shake. They have never done work that I didn't authorize.I like the way that they break down my options for me. What I have to have fixed, what I aught to have fixed, and what would be nice if I got it fixed. No pressure. The work has always been top quality. Can't really say how their prices compare with other shops, because I don't do business with other shops. I've never felt like I was overpaying. Not the place to go if your Feline phobic. They got the friendliest cats.
I sure wish we'd found Dave's years ago the experience was great. We tried taking our Ram diesel to the repair shop we'd used for years but they told me it would be 4 weeks before they could get it in. Considering we were leaving the area in 2 weeks that wasn't going to work. I called a couple of other shops but none could get us in before we were leaving. When I Rajeev reached Tim at Dave's and explained the situation he told us to bring it in. He did half the work we asked him to do then called to arrange for us to pick it up so we could take our horses to the vet. Tim told us to bring it back after we were done hauling horses and he'd finish the rest of the repairs. We did just that and 2 days later he called well after his closing time to let us know all the work was done and we co
Initially, it seemed like it was going to be a good experience. They called with the plan 2 days after drop off and said it would be 2 days for parts to arrive. Over a week later, we called for an update, and parts had not been ordered. After 2.5 weeks, repairs were supposed to be completed, except they suddenly realized that they only ordered one of the two needed switches (windows needed swiches replaced, and AC had a leak). We requested to at least pick the car up so we were not carless another week. On the initial pickup, the AC didn't work. They did some additional something or other while we sat there for 90 minutes, and it was finally blowing cold. We took the car to use while waiting for the second switch. The very next day, the door panel was falling off (they had to go in the pan
