Dave and Dave's Team are my go to guys when it comes to truck and auto repair. They always go above and beond. I cant thank Steph and Dave enough for all they have done for me and my bussines!

Good communication. Good work product and they are honest. Stood behind a transmition replacement they did for me, when a year later a part went bad.

We were on a trip to Sturgis and the wheel well welds broke and messed up a tire. Dave immediately got us in and tacked everything back in place and even helped put the spare on. And very reasonably priced. Great guy and small town service. Was the 8th place we called and the first to be helpful.

Good service

I was in the middle of a move when my car started making weird noises. Come to find out, the last place I took my car to didn’t tighten down the lug nuts. Dave found that right away, but also noted that the other wheels bearing was pretty bad. He squeezed me in and fixed it right away. I can’t thank Dave enough for that. Such a pleasant experience. This will be my go-to Auto Repair Shop from here on out!

This place is a rip off. My daughter paid them at least $800 for a power steering pump, we went back 3 times because it wasn’t fixed. They replaced belts that didn’t need replaced including the one the broke and were “so kind” to fix. Had to take the car to another shop and here she sits 3 months later with the broken power steering pump they replaced. When I called they did not back up their work or make anything right. They took advantage of a young girl and should be ashamed of themselves for taking her money. DO NOT GO HERE. Oh and to top it off they gave her a laundry list of things wrong with her car wanting $3000 to fix everything and upon inspection at another mechanic not a single one of those things was wrong.

Dave is the best in town. always very professional and polite and gets my car done pretty fast...


Feb 06, 2024

Got my car done in just a couple of days and for a decent price! Thanks


Feb 06, 2024

Honest and fair. When your car breaks down you want someone to spend quality time explaining everything - all options. Labor and parts are expensive, so don’t spend on unnecessary repairs - which is what is admirable about Dave’s Complete Auto Service. They took the time to go through all my options, including not having the repairs completed. Appreciate their honesty and speaking to me as a family member, not another person giving money. Highly recommend!


Feb 06, 2024

I got my vehicle fixed here, water pump, tires, oil change, and my bumper repaired. Everything was done in 1 day. Amazing staff and service. I would recommend this place very quick and efficient.


Feb 06, 2024

Thank you for fixing the expedition once again you guys are awesome.😊


Feb 06, 2024

The best car shop near me the world only go here!


Feb 06, 2024

Was friendly great work and fair price was from out of town talked to them on phone called and gave estimate to me the cost up front if I break down in the area I will call them straight shooter thanks Dave and your staff

Dave fixed a problem on my jeep no other shop could fix or even figure out. Fixed my caddy as well where another shop didnt repair right. I Recommend him highly.


Feb 06, 2023

We had another shop fix our vehicle at $8000 cost and it still wasn’t right. Took it to Dave and he and his staff got the vehicle fixed correctly. Sure pures like a cougar again again.

I bought a used Nissan Xterra about 4 years ago. Over the past year, it began to have an exhaust leak up near the manifold. The catalytic converter was shot. Took it to Dave's Complete and the car runs BETTER than when I bought it. They called me as soon as they had it torn down and diagnosed. Was given a thorough explanation of the problem, the fixes needed, and a rough cost (which was pretty much right on). Received updates on the status of repairs, and a call once it was done. This is gold service. Price was fair. Service was outstanding. I hope I don't have any more major repairs, but they gained a new customer today, even if just for general maintenance work. Thank you so much!


Feb 06, 2022

I have taken my vehicle into Dave's for all my auto needs. They go above and beyond, and always take care of me to make sure my vehicle is safe on the roads. Thank you for always taking care of me.


Feb 06, 2022

I took my truck in for a power steering hose they fixed it flushed and refilled it, but I had them check my 4WD because I heard a noise and they said the transfer case motor needed replaced mind you I didn’t have a check 4WD light on and said it’s probably a simple part which I pointed out to what part might not be working and then they call and say different. NOW it won’t even go into 4WD now and says check 4X4 and to top it off when I got my truck back IT SMELLED SO BAD OF CIGARETTES AND FULL OF GREASE ALL OVER MY STEERING WHEEL DOORS CENTER SHIFTER I HAD TO LEAVE AND GO GET IT CLEANED AT THE CAR WASH AFTER AND IT STILL SMELLS LIKE CIGARETTES 2 weeks later, very unprofessional on their part. The only thing nice was the lady who works the front. They need to check their mechanics credentials and have more courtesy for someone’s vehicle who DOES NOT SMOKE and to NOT LEAVE A VEHICLE FULL OF GREASE!


Feb 06, 2022

Stopped in for check engine light (fuel trim system rich). They found the fuel/alcohol ratio was registering at 32% and actual ratio was 10% so they did fuel trim relearn procedure. Was driving across 6 states. Check engine light came back on but eventually went back off again and truck is running great with no issues.


Feb 06, 2022

They have fixed 3 problems on my cars that another shop and the dealership couldn't fix, and cheaper. I don't go anywhere else. These guys are awesome!


Feb 06, 2021

I'm very happy and impressed with the level of service at Dave's Complete Auto. They also care about their customers. Thank you for everything!


Feb 06, 2021

Thanks Dave for all your help in the past year ! Im the one that had the 99 Honda Accord & yes i got a new car now i still miss my old one but with your sound advice i made the right decision 😉 with that super high miles it had wouldn't been worth fixing it especially the cost higher than value of that old car . now have a Honda fit 2011 ill swing it by soon . I got it from the same car lot they helped me also get in it after feeling bad about the old one. Way lesser miles to. 58,000 .take care thanks again.


Feb 06, 2020

I called to get my car fix. It is not driveable. They said they could not get it in till June 25th. Really?? So now I have to take it somewhere else. Thanks.


Feb 06, 2020

My daughter's car broke down on the way to Omaha and was towed to Dave's. They quickly found the issue (broken accessory drive belt) and had it fixed within an hour or so of the car coming in - all at a very reasonable price. They could have put the car into their schedule and got to it in a day or two - but they cared enough to get it done right then; my daughter really appreciated the great service and so did I. Dave, thanks for getting my daughter's little Hyundai Tiburon back on the road - great job, much appreciated!

Best mechanic in the Midwest


Feb 06, 2019

My 2004 chevy 2500 duramax lost power while passing through town on a trip. They found the defective injector connector and repaired and had me back on the road in a couple of hours. My thanks to Jearod and Dave!


Feb 06, 2019

This place is great they do work on our 2005 f 150 and our 2001 f 350


Feb 06, 2019

Great mechx, recommended Dave all the time..


Feb 06, 2019

Had my exhaust done. They did great work but paid for an hour of labor they did not do. I was estimated at 2 hours of labor plus taxes and it only took 45 mins and they still charged me for the 2 hours labor.


Feb 06, 2019

I was stranded in council bluffs ... Ontbe way to Minnesota, Winnebago. By NOON Monday after taking car on sunday... Daves shop had found the problem & Fixed it... $150.00. I was ready to throw my car away...& Dave savedmy car from Junk yard... Thank you Sweet Jesus !#!


Feb 06, 2019

In a nutshell we took a huge monetary loss by taking our vehicle to this shop. We did get “some” money back but crucial errors were made on this repair and in the end has cost us substantially more money to repair. It’s frustrating to hear a professional tell you they didn’t want to “mess with the damn car in the first place”. Good to know AFTER the fact money and time was spent.


Feb 06, 2019

Only mechanic I trust to work on any of my vehicles


Feb 06, 2019

Outstanding mechanic knows his stuff


Feb 06, 2019

Unlike many big name repair shops, these guys really care about your vehicle and are willing to go above and beyond to take care of you. Daves Auto Repair isn't just about getting your money and the prices are fair!


Feb 06, 2019
