Dave’s Auto Service

High quality service with integrity and reasonable prices. I have the utmost trust each time I get work done that they will do only what’s needed and will never up sale or try to repair something not needed.

I’m visiting from out of state for a few months. I was hesitant to get my car serviced in a unfamiliar state but I couldn’t be happier that I went to Dave’s. The staff were are very friendly, welcoming, and more than helpful. The two gals who work the front desk are very kind and made me feel welcomed. If I’m ever in the area again and in need of services, I WILL be back. It’s rare to kind find a honest mechanic who won’t rip you off. Thanks Dave’s! :)

Great service everytime. Staff is very friendly and trustworthy. The only place I trust for my automotive service needs.

Dave’s Auto Service. From the counter staff (friendly) and mechanics, they are very courteous and professional. They are upfront and honest with issues regarding your vehicle (no upsell). Their goal is to please the customers and keep them coming back. Great concept that all businesses should follow. They have a great working relationship with each other and their customers (FAMILY). .Dave’s Auto Service represents what is good in business and customer service.

It’s great to have the car serviced at the same day I called. I also appreciated the free quote because it would have cost me tons of money to have everything fixed. They worked around my budget which is very important for me. For this, I give them 5 stars!

Dave’s is by far the best auto service in the South Bay Area. Not only are the employees friendly but the quality of the work is top notch! You can count on Dave’s to do right by you. Thanks for restoring my faith in auto services. You Rock!

Very honest and friendly group of people. Highly recommend their services. Used them for a few years now and now all of my family members go to them too.

Dave and his crew are awesome. I recently bought an 03 WRX and wanted to change the gear oil. I had everything ready and when I got to the point of trying to get the drain plug out, I nearly pulled a muscle trying to get it lose. And trust me, I’m no weak dude (hammer curl 60lbs) but that sucker was stuck. I even tried using a monkey wrench as a last ditch effort of getting it loose and thought I might just buy a new drain plug. But I just couldn’t get it loose so I gave up and decided it was time to get some help from the professionals. I found Dave’s ad on craigslist for transmission work. I figured my problem was kind of a transmission problem, haha. So the next morning I was at the DMV (like 1 minute from Dave’s Auto) helping my friend with change of ownership as she had just bought her first car. I decide to call Dave’s Auto once the DMV opened right at 8:01am. I wasn’t sure if anyone would actually pick up because the shop had just opened. But Dave himself answered and I explained to him that I just needed them to loosen the drain plug for me and I asked how much it would be.
FREE!
Dave just chuckled when I told him what had happened and said he wouldn’t charge me anything. Wow, like what can I possibly say to express how generous of him.
He told to just bring it by and hopefully it wouldnt be too long of a wait if a lift was open for me. I decided to go immediately and got there about 7 minutes after Dave’s auto had opened but let me tell you I would have sworn they had been open for hours already. Plenty of of cars already being worked on, people already in the waiting room, clipboards and clipboards of cars already waiting to be worked on. The receptionist helped get me squared away with paperwork and informed me there wasn’t a lift open for my car so there would be a small wait. I asked her long she thought it might be (I had abandoned my friend at the DMV) and she asked the crew and I guess they moved some things around because next thing I know they are already moving my car to get worked on. I guess they just wanted to get my car out of the way as it would be quick.
My friend texts me saying she needs help so I literally run back to the DMV but I hadn’t let anyone at Dave’s know I was leaving. But it wasn’t a problem. I got a call pretty shortly after I had left Dave’s that my car was ready and there was no rush for me to come back, my car would be waiting for me when I got there.
Turns out the last person who had put the drain plug in had unnecessarily used some sealant which had made the drain plug so difficult to remove. Dave’s Auto was friendly, fast, and incredibly generous not charging me a single cent for their time and energy which really helps me out as a broke UCSD student. But I know where I’ll be taking my baby for any future work.

I’m always satisfied with the customer service I receive from Maria and the quality service my car gets from men I personally know.

I’ve been using Dave’s for years and am constantly impressed by the level of service and professionalism. Dave, Dart and Maria along with the other mechanics are encyclopedic in their knowledge of car repair and remember my car without having to pull the file. There is never a surprise, the pricing is very fair, my car is ready as promised or sooner and the shop is immaculate. Easy to get to and hassle free… Exceptional auto service … easiest 5 star review I’ve ever given!

I’ve been taking my vehicles to Dave for 7 years now and have been extremely happy with their service. Everyone there is really knowledgable and nice. If you want to get great customer service and auto repair along with fair pricing than this is your spot.

This place easily earns five stars! The owner, Dave, took the time to review in detail, the work needing to be done… explaining why certain things would require more time and patiently answered all my (basically, dumb!) questions. He comes across as very knowledgeable, honest & sincere, and he has tons of experience in the industry. The car problems were solved, too!
If you are a skeptic about car repair or not sure where to go… go here!!! They will definitely take care of you and your car!

I asked my friend who used to sell tools to Auto Mechanics in the South Bay, who he would trust to repair his car. He suggested I try Dave’s Auto Service. Their prices were very reasonable… refreshing to have the labor much less than parts on the repairs, and they quickly worked me into their schedule. Their receptionist, Maria was very friendly and helpful.
