Never been there. I need some time to move closer to Dave and Chris N. I'm just trying to heal up and get my planetary gears in order. Love your work ethics. I just hope and pray that I'm not too late.

Went in for an alignment. Not only did they not do it, but they told me 3 of my tires were bad and was the cause of the wobbling. And on top of that they didn’t take my money.

I been coming to Dave's since Dave was there I have brought every car here even the one lemon I brought I remember Dave said the amount of money you going to put out into this car you should just buy a new car lmao & we laughed about me buying a lemom. Dave knew so much about cars I use to beg him to go with me to purchase a car & was willing to pay him cuz they wouldn't be able to get over on him. I have been a vauled customer since 2015 when I brought my first car from auto pros if you brought a car from auto pros you know why Dave automotive is the best place and will always be the best place. Anyway I was sad when Dave retired but let's be for real the same men who have been working with him on my cars are still there so I still trust there work. Honestly I can't believe the bad reviews because if I sat here & told y'all how many cars I went through & all the cars I ever brought to them y'all wouldn't believe me. Every car I brought to this shop no matter what the problem was they found the solution & fixed it and I never had that problem again. Dave automotive did some of the biggest jobs I remember one time I had to get my air compressor replaced during the summer Dave made sure my warranty company paid the most. I don't think I would ever go to any other mechanic & this is coming from a person who uncle is a mechanic. This place has always GOT THE JOB DONE. I appreciate them so much I recommend them to everybody. I see people complaining about the price I will pay whatever to keep my car moving it's my bread & butter & these men work hard they need to be paid for their work

I love the owner, he listens when I'm talking. As a woman, most mechanics think we are oblivious about cars. As a Center, he is our mechanic.


Feb 07, 2024

I've been going to Dave's for about 4 yrs now with any type of issues with any of my vehicles, they are honest ,on point and professional I recommend Dave's automotive 💯%

I took my car there because my brother recommended this place, I don’t know much about cars and i don’t want to be robbed. The lady at the office is very friendly and the owner it’s very knowledgeable and explained things to me in a way a could understand. They fixed my car the same day and so far I have no complaints. I totally recommend this place, only honest mechanic i know in the area!


Feb 07, 2023

It was a great experience. Good customer services. Good price for oil change. I am going back again and again!

They damaged my brakes system


Feb 07, 2023

They won’t return your call and damage my brakes

Wouldn't recommend using this place. Outrageous! Shop around don't go there. I saw owner replied to someone that a basic tune up takes about a hour. Ok so I was charged 2.5 hours for a basic tune up and for them to put my car on lift to tell me they couldn't fix my muffler. Shop around don't go there. We are talking over $350.00 . I will find a honest mechanic because this is outrageous. I also put my review on yelp so others don't get ripped off like I was. When I was told the cost over the phone I wasn't told they couldn't fix the muffler, had they told me that I wouldn't have them do the tune up. Shady! The actual structure- building -lot has been there many many many years I would know I lived in this neighborhood for 51 years but this owner now is very recent not 35 years.


Feb 07, 2022

Honest, friendly and attentive!!! Very satisfied with their service!!


Feb 07, 2022

I had a really good experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I went in to get a tire repair which was pretty inexpensive. Service was very fast! I will be back for sure


Feb 07, 2022

The most professional place around. Whenever I go to Dave's everything is explained to you in detail first (No Surprises) Best prices around, place is super clean. In and out in an hour. Thats why I will continue using this business. Thanks for all you do.
