Very honest & trustworthy, down to earth, & very honest Mechanic!!!! David will not jip you or give you any false info on his services or his repairs or what he can do for you like a lot of shady mechanics out here. I recommend to anyone bc he will provide the best service for you & your vehicle & he will work with you if your intentions are good! I will continue to do service with David!

We contacted them based on everyones reviews and The reviews were RIGHT!Dave was courteous, friendly, and he made sure everything was repaired correctly and took the amount of time he said it would. The price was appropriate and he took the time to explain what he would, and Did, complete. He treated us with respect and kindness. Some men do not treat females equally, but Dave and his staff did!Thanks Dave and staff!

We have been taking our cars to Davids Garage for years. David and everyone else have been great and the service and repairs have been excellent. When my fiancée recently found a used car from a local dealer we trusted no one more than they guys at Davids to give us an honest opinion as to the condition of the car, which they did free of charge. We bought it, and when it eventually needs repairs, well be taking it back to Davids.

As a woman, I’ve had a tough time finding a mechanic that didn’t rip me off of speak down to me. David is that mechanic! He’s very communicative & straightforward & reasonably priced. Would absolutely recommend.

I took my 2014 Sienna to Dave recently. He came in under his quote, and he finished it same day, when he originally projected that he would have it for two days. I was highly impressed with his service and attitude, too, as he doesnt come across as shady or crass, like many auto mechanics (I was one for several years). All in all, I will be sending everyone here because he really instilled trust with me.

A Great repair shop!Having the work done at David adds value above having it done elsewhere. David guarantees his work with a roadside assistance coverage in the unlikely event that the work performed at his shop was faulty.The work done is clearly explained and well documented. David makes sure that Before & After pictures are taken of the repair and attaches these pictures to the work order and customer history in his billing system. At vehicle pick-up, David uses the pictures as he explains what was done, why it was necessary, and to illustrate anything that was unusual or that might need further attention.The mechanics area is organized, clean, and well lit. Ive been to shops where this isnt the case, and my experience has been that less organized work areas predict less positive outcomes.The environment is pleasant and professional. David and his receptionist make drop off and pick up a warm, welcoming experience.Davids is truly exceptional.

Dave is a great guy. He is conscientious and friendly. His shop does a great job. Dave stopped the shop next door from using my truck for their own means while it was supposed to be on a hoist. Dave goes above the call of duty.

I highly recommend Davids Garage for auto repairs. I consider myself a fairly astute back yard mechanic having built several cars, dune buggy etc... I tend to scrutinize other mechanics work and demand it is done right if Im paying for it. Simply put, there is no scrutiny to speak of relative to Davids garage. Ive been to several auto repair shops in my 45 years. I finally found one I can trust to do the job right and not jerk me around. Speaking of trust, there are several auto repair shops out there that tend to diagnose repairs that are not necessary and write estimates that are relatively high. Theres no worries at Davids Garage. My neighbor recently had a rattle problem with her car. She took it to a shop and they quoted her more than $800 to replace her catalytic converter back to the tail pipe. Davids garage can clamp on a brand new catalytic converter for around $200 because replacing everything else was not necessary. I wont mention the other shop that tried to take advantage. Just know that Davids Garage does business with an eye toward excellent customer service with integrity.

Davids Garage is genuinely a 21st -century business. Before beginning the work, Dave asked me what my plans were for the car since it is older and may not be worth the price of extensive repairs. I told him that I intended to keep the car for a few more years and to go ahead. The diagnosis of the problem was both professional and accurate.After the work began, I received a call from Dave explaining that there were two additional problems. These problems were described logically, in a non-technical manner that I could understand, and backed up by a video of the loose tie rod! For me, that was a first.The quality of the repair work was excellent. And, as a bonus, the final price was below Dave’s initial estimate.I plan on recommending David’s Garage to anyone, and I intend to return for both regular maintenance and any future repairs.

I highly endorse this business! Dave and his crew not only fixed what I came in for, but went out of their way to investigate another problem to make sure my car was perfect. They communicated every step of the way, were super prompt, very friendly and informative. No tricks to make an extra buck, just good honest work. You really cant ask for more!

I have four kids and own five cars, the majority of which are either older than 10 years or have more than 100,000 miles on the odometer. Accordingly, I have dealt with many mechanics in many different locations. Dave is one of the best I have encountered. He is clearly knows cars and how to fix them. He is professional, service-oriented and trustworthy. He will explain your cars mechanical problems, and you may even get a photo texted to you. He will also describe your options, and you will never get the feeling that he is trying to up-sell you. Daves innovative use of technology to communicate with his customers is impressive, and his costs seem very competitive. A skilled mechanic, who is honest and reasonably priced is not particularly easy to find. When I do, I become a repeat customer. I did find one in Dave. So I will be back when our 1999 Corolla with 145,000 miles needs some TLC again!

Filled with integrity! David and David were the second people to diagnose our vehicle. The first attempt pointed to a much more expensive repair. However, the team at Davids garage diagnosed our transmission as a faulty wire and had us in and out with less than 160 dollars including all diagnostic testing and rewiring. Honesty goes EVERYWHERE with me. These gentlemen have a place in my family as our one and only shop.

Review №37

Great experience. After the Polar Vortex took out my trusty old Toyota David was able to help get me back on the road quickly. He diagnosed the problems and called me to give me a thorough run through. He told me everything that was wrong and talked me through the timeline for the repairs. I never once felt pressured to make any decisions. When my fiance arrived to pick up the car keys David talked him through all of the repairs and showed him the parts that were worked on. I will definitely be back in the future. Thank you!

I have been going to Davids Garage for many years now with my personal vehicles as well as our company vehicle. The techs are very friendly and they get you back on the road quickly. Always greet you with a smile. Need a great mechanic look no farther. Thanks to all. Dennis@ Central Flooring.

My garage door was a mess. It would not stay closed, and was extremely loud when the garage door opener was operating. I called Davids Garage,based on price, friendly professionalism, and their level of knowledge during the initial phone call. They converted my old, unsafe double spring system into a safe, single spring over the door style and new rollers. It works like a dream. Thank you so much guys.

Absolutely great! Contacted them Friday around 11 am. They recommended a great towing company and had us there by 1 pm, diagnosed, fixed and on the road by 4:45pm same day. Gave us loaner car, good restaurant recommendation and were nice to our dog! Thought the price was fair and they could not have been nicer. Made a stressful situation much better.

Im am currently a 1/4 of the way through an externship that I know would be alot different anywhere else. There is no better place to bring your car truck or van. David Jr. /John /Joe/and Junior have the up most respect for every costumer. A passion for doing it right the first time and have built a reputable repeat customer base. They have been kind enough to show me the ropes and teach me how to do it right. Since Ive started Ive realized just how luck I am to be taught by the some of the best. If I were you, I wouldnt risk your repairs and upgrades anywhere else!

I used to live in the area and now drive 45 minutes just to come to this garage. Great friendly people willing to help. I had a starter issue that was under recall, not only did they give me a quote but the called the manufacturer and dealership to ensure I took the best option, knowing that they are potentially giving me an option that does not net them profit.Highly recommended.

Review №51

I have lots of experiences with mechanics since I drive over 25k mikes a year and keep my cars till my mechanic says let it go. When I called, I was impressed immediately by the way David answered the phone and he took the time to get to know me and not just quickly get the info. I was shocked. That’s never happened before. After my car was done they told me something I didn’t need now but later down the line. That was a shocker. I was expecting to get a call that I would need something done now. They were very helpful and kind. I’ll definitely be back.

These people are honest and knowledgeable. A couple of years ago I had problems with my Hummer H3. The dealership wanted to charge me $2100 to fix it. A friend recommended that I take it to Davids Garage and wouldnt you know that Davids Garage fixed the problem for $350 because the dealership had misdiagnosed my vehicle. They recently fixed my sons Cadillac CTS that wouldnt. They went above and beyond to make sure my sons car was fixed properly. I am so pleased with their service.
