Dave’s Friendly Service

The service here is great! I have all my vehicles worked on here both personal and business! They do what needs to be done and at a fair cost! I highly recommend their service!

My family and I have been customers of Dave’s Friendly for a few years now and will continue to be. The name friendly is certainly appropriate for their service. I have no complaints; in fact all I have is praise. Twice, I have been charged less than the estimated price because it didn’t need something they thought it would. Several hundred dollars and I would never have known. That’s a breath of fresh air!
Quality service with clear and concise explanations about the problems.
I appreciate the fact that they check our vehicles for other issues when they are in for service, that’s what a good mechanic does.
It gives me peace of mind knowing my family’s cars are safe because they take the time to actually look at the car over.
We have never had to take a vehicle back for a second time; they have diagnosed the problem the1st time every time. Very professionally run business.

I have been using Dave’s since 2006 and won’t go anywhere else. On several occasions I thought I would need major work, but Dave’s crew made very reasonable repairs without breaking the bank. My vehicles always go into high mileage without major problems due to the good maintenance at Dave’s.

I take my vehicles to Dave’s and no where else since 2006. All certified techs. A clean, neat shop. I guess the main reason I go there is «Piece Of Mind». I know that even with an oil change they go over the entire car to make sure it’s safe. I definitely make sure I time an oil change just prior to going on an extended trip so insure that there are no worries. They have a program that keeps track of each vehicle enabling you to track it’s maintenance bad repairs from your computer. Old fashion service in a high tech shop.

Dave and Jeremy do a fantastic job on car repairs. Dave has worked on every car I have owned. He does so at a fair price and on time. My cat loves Dave’s Friendly he fixes it right the first time. Need a recommendation call me Bob Deiorio 973−219−7256

It is funny, but everyone has their own experiences of taking their auto’s at this place for repair. I read that some like working with this business, taking their cars there and loving it. But, if you are like me, I had a bad experience and even though it happened at least 5 years ago, I never will forget it and I will not recommend this business.
I have a Ford Excursion with a diesel motor in it. I needed an injector replaced and I called Dave’s friendly service and they said they could do the repair. I asked them for an estimate of repairs and they quoted me about $ 400 dollars. I went ahead with the repair and what was supposed to be a one day repair, in and out, took almost a week and it cost me $ 1,400 dollars! Each time I called them, they gave me a story about how this and that was wrong with my excursion and each time the price authorization they kept asking me to accept went up. At some point, you are screwed. You can’t say, stop and just bill me for what you have done, because the work isn’t finished and the auto is not fixed. So, you are at their mercy and you suck it up and deal with it. Since that time, I have had to replace other fuel injectors and I go to a shop that charges me a bit more per hour, but they do the same repair for about $ 500 dollars or less. When I complained to the front office guy who runs the books, schedules the service, etc., you could tell that this was their money making strategy. They low ball the repair estimate and then, bill you through the nose for items that now require additional attention. I asked them to replace the injector, but they noted and tried to get me to fix an oil leak, get new brakes, flush out my radiator, and the list went on and on. Please, don’t nickel and dime me and look to upselling me on additional work. Watch out on this one!
I am a fan of taking your auto to STS tires in Phillipsburg. Danny is the manager and he’s friendly to work with and they can do a lot of routine maintenance things, plus they have a good selection of tires. I have had them do a lot of repairs on my cars at STS and I have found them to always be fair, fast and «friendly.»
Do not go to Dave’s Friendly Auto. Be aware. Oh, and to the other reviewer that said they like the ability to log on and check the status of their car, let me ask you, «Who do you think is paying for that service? That’s right, you and me. And, I personally don’t want to log on and read the status of my auto repair. I have too many other things to do with my day than check up on my auto repair. I prefer to have them call me when it is ready and just have it fixed and be close to budget. Anything else is over kill and just the type of something that is not necessary!

You’d have to be crazy to take your car anywhere else. All of my friends and I go to Dave for guaranteed repairs and spectacular customer service. I LOVE that I can log on to their website and see my car’s entire work history and maintenance schedule. Thanks so much Dave, Jeremy and everyone else!
