  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 returned the car to the shop right away. After checking it themselves, they confirmed the lights were on and said they would look into it. When I returned again to pick up the car, I calmly asked Dave why the car had no gas. Instead of addressing my concern professionally, he responded sarcastically, asking if I thought someone was driving my car around the city—which I never implied. I simply wanted an explanation, as picking up a car with almost no gas is unacceptable.

  Had a great experience here! The owner was upfront with pricing and explained everything clearly, which I really appreciated. I felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. After trying a few other local spots with rude service or overpriced quotes, this shop really stood out. This is definitely my go-to mechanic now—highly recommend!

  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.
