Dave’s Ultimate Automotive

So I bring in my 2015 Dodge Challenger scat pack, beautiful car… My girlfriend wrecked it when I was teaching her how to drive a stick, which I knew wouldn’t turn out great. Well she hit a curb and bend 2 rims. I take it in to get fixed and they never called me and sent the rims in to get fixed which cost almost ¾ of the fix. Which was a lot. Besides that it was just a couple of control arms, I get my car back and one side is powder coated rims and the other side has 2 glossy rims, they’re just like idk what to tell you. They said they would help me out but never heard a call back. I have the receipt and everything. Still they don’t care to help me. How hard is it for them to keep in contact with the other company and make sure everything comes out good at the end when your spending that much cash???

I’d say they did a fantastic job but were quite pricey. Really friendly staff, but when it’s $ 75 for a cabin air filter change I think that there’s something wrong with the whole system of automotive repair as the filter itself cost me $ 29 at your favorite box store and about 3 minutes of labor to change it myself.
4 stars for the friendly knowledgeable staff but I don’t think I’ll be coming back unless the repair is extensive or I don’t have the tools to do it myself.

The front desk advised my oil change would cost around $ 35 before 20% discount. Ended up paying $ 45…much more than I’ve ever paid for. You should advise customers of additional cost before doing the service, especially when I was the only one in waiting area. In addition, it took them less than 15 minutes to complete a $ 55.00 job (before discount). Bad customer service relationship.

My husband and I are so thankful for Dave’s Ultimate Automotive in Pflugerville. After moving to town just 8 months ago we are glad to find this shop. We have gotten our oil changed in both of our family vehicles every 3−5K miles. With AAA we were glad to get a discount on this service. We also had to get the alignment done on one of our cars. This shop is very honest and down to earth. We are confident they will not sale us something we do not need. The employees are friendly and have excellent customer service.

This is the only place I would ever bring my cars to for repair. They are fair, honest and are looking out for what is best for you and not how much money they can make.
If you want your car running well and have the piece of mind that you are not going to be ripped off, I highly recommend Dave’s Ultimate Automotive in Pflugerville.
Ed will treat you right.

No one really likes taking their car in to the shop. It’s basically a loosing situation all around. So when my wife hit an animal on the tollway I was less than excited.
Dave’s was recommended by several people. They seem to have a great reputation in the area.
Dave’s was great. They were able to diagnose the problem and fix it in one day. I was skeptical about their quote so I went through it line item by line item. Turned out they were very reasonable on parts and labor.
The experience was good enough that I decided to bring my other car to Dave’s for regular maintenance.

Very professional staff on the phone and in-​person. Patient and happy to explain issues/​repairs and help prioritize what is needed. We’ve been taking our vehicles here for a couple of years now, always happy with the results. Really like the text feature they use, they’ll text you photos of your car and all of the repair recommendations and the level of severity for each. I would highly recommend this shop for their work and their customer service.

I brought my truck in for to repair an oil leak, the leak was fixed however the mechanic did not reconnect my temperature sensor or the electric choke on my carburetor… and the fuse to my radio was blown… all for $ 800. Could have done it my self for about $ 25 and a weekend.

They are quick and very easy to work with.
I got my brake pads replaced there. Originally they said it would take them through the next day to fix, so they loaned me a car to drive while I waited for mine (no charge). They ended up calling me a few hours later saying they were finished with the job. The service was great!

Typical automotive shop that tries to rip you off. I go in after hearing the wear indicator on my back pads. Ask very specifically «I just want to replace the back because I hear the wear indicators.» The lady at the front (who was kind) demanded they look at the entire car. Go figure. Once they finished, they start telling me all about the front rotors A. after I already said I don’t care nor want to hear about the front, and B. expected them to try to up-​sell me no matter what condition the front rotors are in. Demanding to look at the entire brake system after a customer has a very specific request to save themselves time IS RUDE! If I had said «Please look at the entire brake system,» then fine. But I didn’t. Learn to listen. Oh yeah, and JUST for back pads and rotors… $ 570…LOL I went to O’reilly’s, bought parts for the front AND back, and watched a Youtube video and did it all for $ 200. Won’t be coming back here. I might have had a heart attack had I gotten a quote for both.

We took my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe in for a second opinion and to see what their cost would be. They completed an inspection for free and gave us a quote. They agreed that as noted by another facility, the work had to be done. However, the price was much cheaper. They provided us with a loaner vehicle which was quite helpful. Although it took longer for the part needed to get in, as soon as it arrived, they got my car fixed the same day. We received excellent customer service and will definitely be going back.

I’ve lived in Texas for about 16 months, and have never reAlly needed any car work done. However, the other day I ran over a screw which created a slow leek in my tire. I read up on the Unilocal reviews and choose Dave’s automotive, I’m glad I did.
I walked in explaining my day, both people behind the counter were extremely friendly and seemed to actually care about me as a person. They had asked if I had ever been here before? I said no. They took my car in the shop in about 3 minutes, plugged my tire, and back Ln the road in under 45 minutes.
The part that really blew my mind was when I went to pay for the labor, there was no charge! Welcome to Texas!
Dave has earned my business from know on!
They waiting room was somewhat small but very clean.
I would highly recommend them! My next oil change will be done by them.

Just got my vehicle inspected. Quick service, clean lobby, friendly staff. May have to make this my go to place

Awesome sauce! Great service and prices. we will recommend Daves to everyone. Carrie is amazing

They did a thorough diagnosis on my car for free. And they are the only shop that gave me the complete and correct diagnosis. The quote was kinda high and I decided to try another shop for the job. But if I did the repair here I wouldn’t have been ripped off. I would give it a try next time.

Being a new customer and female you never know what to expect when it comes to auto repairs. I had been taking my car to the dealer for oil changes always dreading it since every time you are in there they want to rebuild your motor practically. I had to find a new place to go so I looked on Unilocal found Dave’s decided to give it a try. Very pleased with the customer service and repair. They were honest and straight forward with me on what I needed. My brakes needed repaired, oil change and tires rotated. I was given a loaner car until my repairs were complete. I will be a return customer thank you to Toby and Ed for the great customer service. To Michael B with the negative review from looking at your other reviews seems there is not much you do like !! Keep up the great work guys and thank you for everything!

This business is operated with integrity. There were initially some bumps in the road but the owners ended up handling things in a professional way and have convinced me to have faith in their intention to take good care of their customers.

Found these guys on Unilocal saw there reviews and though I’d give them a try. Called them yesterday to see if I could just have them look at car. I’m a single guy with 1 vehicle that can’t afford to leave car for long periods of time. My plan was have them diagnose car and plan another weekend to have it fixed cause i thought if it took more than 1 day I’d have to rent a car. I explained all this to them. They said they had full schedule on Saturday but to bring it anyway and they’d squeeze it in to diagnose and if it had to stay over weekend they had a loaner car I could use. I dropped of about 745 am they called me about 1030 with diagnosis and car was repaired by 2pm. They even came and picked me up from house to take me back to shop. Very impressed and will b back for any other car issues. Thanks Guys!!!

Dave’s Ultimate RIP-​OFF ARTIST. Run run run away from this place as fast as you can. LIARS, CHEATS, and THIEF’S. I sent my wife their to get her brake pads replaced because I wanted to be lazy and I didn’t feel like doing it myself. They quoted her $ 995.53 to replace basically the entire brake system sans master cylinder. Here are some of their quoted prices for parts. R. Caliper $ 149.65, L. Caliper $ 136.35, 2 rotors $ 199.24, Brake pads $ 137.50, Brake system flush $ 67.50 + $ 33.70 for brake fluid. The quote also includes parts cleaners x3 @ $ 4.86 = $ 14.58. Oh but they offered her a new customer discount of $ 100.00. HILARIOUS. None of these prices include the labor charge of $ 315.12. She called me, I told to just come home and they actually asked her to sign some waiver that her car was unsafe to drive, SHE REFUSED. I went to the auto parts store got new premium pads for $ 65.00 and replaced the worn ones in about 45 minutes.
The rotors have normal wear and tear, I wouldn’t put my wife on the road with inadequate brakes, but even if they needed to be turned or replaced the pair would cost under $ 100.
Do not ever do business with these jack-​holes!!! THE WORST. Dave’s is everything you ever hear about mechanics that take advantage of women.

Took the SUV in for what I thought was a minor power issue. Turns out, a previous chain provider (not to be named) changed the timing belt and broke the pin. Fix it and that was that. A few months later the engine is ruined, a perfectly good vehicle ruined due to someone not being upfront about it all.
Tired of the run around and took it to Dave’s to get it figured out. Honestly it took them some time to get it worked out. When it finally came down, it was obvious it was all a total loss.
I appreciate Ed and Michael for being honest and explaining things. Michael even took the time to draw it out on paper with a diagram. Vehicle is a total loss. What do you do after you hear that… You buck up and get to work. Michael found a scrap/​parts buyer that will take it. I will get enough back to pay for the mechanic that spent so much time diagnosing and get a couple hundred left.
Thanks gents for keeping the score, being real and stepping up to help. Michael certainly didn’t have to help with finding a buyer but knew a guy that buys for parts. I appreciate that.
Tough day, had to walk it out. Not the least expensive, but then, do you really want that?
