Daves Auto Radio

I brought my car here recently because the CD player stopped working. Dave got me in the next day and 90 minutes later I was listening to my CDs again. Quick, polite, and efficient service and a fair price for technical repairs will make it likely that I’ll recommend this shop to friends.

The gentlemen who helped me seemed very rushed and short on time in person and on the phone. My initial repair was short lived. As the fold down screen did not fully close and left the light and the screen on. There were what appeared to be grease finger prints smudges on on the exterior. The main reason for my return trip was that the monitor stopped working. On my second visit I was met with the same anxious impatience. I waited for the monitor to be re installed it was done within ear shot of the waiting room. I was able to hear quite a few choice phrases and expletives. When The install was completed, gentlemen grunted your all done. I went to test the monitor and it still did not work. Off he went again to take apart and fix, third times a charm. I tested the monitor again and it worked. I called attention to the monitor not closing fully. The gentleman became very frustrated and began saying he had to take it off again. I would think that you would check the work, clean the work area and check the function of the component your working on before you say it is done? If you don’t it seems unfair to get angry or frustrated at the cust. For bringing it up. All in all it was not a positive experience. In my experience the workmanship was mediocre at best. The cust service from different aspects is extremely lacking.
To his credit he did repair and follow through with his warranty and he did adjust the monitor so it closes fully

I showed up and Dave had little time to explain to me what he was going to do. He seemed in a big hurry the whole time we were transacting business; like I didn’t have any importance as a paying customer. He showed me something but didn’t let me really see it, he put me on hold two or tree times during a short phone conversation, he literally ran away from me after I picked up my stereo. The stereo repair was a simple coffee splill and resultng stickiness, but he made a really big deal of it, explaining it in way too much detail 2 – 3 times. It was also über expensive and $ 20 – 40 more than he quoted at $ 169 vs $ 129 – 149. OK (3*) repair shop if you can deal with Dave’s quirky personality.

My 2001 Ford Ranger’s radio/​CD player died. Horrible electronic burning smell and then no display at all. I found Daves Auto Radio in the Yellow Pages. I called and briefly explained the situation. He said come on in at 11:00 (same day!). He popped out the radio, provided a $ 200 estimate for the repair and said he’d probably have it fixed the same day! I drove back to work (with a gaping hole in my dashboard). Sure enough, about 2 hours later he called and said, «it’s fixed»! He put the radio unit back in my truck, and even set the clock to the correct time. GREAT customer service, and he’s really talented and experienced and very fairly priced. Daves DELIVERS!

Guy just hung up on me as soon as I said «Hello». Didn’t even wait for my question.

Really great service repairing my radio face AND helped me get into my car that I had locked my keys in! Thanks Dave!

I stopped into Cartunes in Santa Rosa on a whim today to see if my Bose 6 disc cd changer in my 2004 Nissan Murano could be fixed. My son stuffed about $ 2 in change in my CD player and it stopped working. They referred me to Dave’s that is in the same building and an hour later my radio was working! Apparently change in the radio is a common problem because he knew exactly what I was talking about and what the problem was! It cost me $ 200 to remove the radio, replace a diode that had shorted out and reinstall the radio. I am so glad I stopped in today because now my radio works perfectly!

I love Dave’s once again I have doing business with Dave’s for over 20 years, always helpful and in the same building as Car Tunes, Dave and Mike have been working together since I can remember, Dave is the most knowledgeable guy I know when it comes to fixing car electronics
