I've been a customer of Dave's for years. Dave is very honest and competent. I had an old Pontiac that was able to get to 300,000 miles due to affordable routine maintenance performed by Dave and his team. Dave has old time Crown Point values and is able to thrive on a well earned good reputation. read more

I came to Dave's years ago on a recommendation. This shop is now the first and only place I go for auto service. They diagnose and complete repairs quickly and for very fair prices. More than once they've completed smaller repairs that I discovered I was not charged for. This is a capable, no frills local shop that prioritizes quality service to their customers. read more

Wow! So nice to find an automotive repair shop that is both honest and fair. My 20yr old daughter took her car is, got estimate and car was done on time as promised. She did shop around and got quotes from 1200$ to 1600$ at other garages. The part new from a dealership would have been under 200$ and all the rest was labor. Well to be honest 1 place told her she needed other work too. Dad is a car buff and can fix most cars blindfolded so he knew they were lying. If he wasn't working 70hrs a week he would have done it himself. The kid was paying for it herself so price was important. This place stayed within quoted price and did a FANTASTIC job. Would highly recommend. read more

My granddaughter is going to college up north. Dave's auto repair has done a great job keeping her car running properly. Very reasonable.

Dave is always straightforward and honest; he doesn't beat around the bush, and when a repair needs to be made, he gives a straightforward estimate and also provides feedback as the repair is in progress if any other issues are found. My family has brought multiple vehicles to his shop for service, and his crew has always done a good job. If you need a trusted local mechanic who knows cars, this is your guy. read more

I called Dave's about a simple install of rear springs and shocks. Dave, the owner asked me how many miles on the car, and I told him. He told me that it probably needed front springs and shocks also. I asked if he could give me a price for the rear, and for the suggested parts he thought that I would need. He said he would have to call me back with an estimate. He did, but when asked about what parts he was replacing, he didn't include the rear springs. I said that I wanted them done, that is why I called in the first place.The car bottoms out going over bumps. He said that he would replace them too, and I agreed to have the job done. O dropped the car off the next morning, and left the key in the key drop. I called around 10:30 just to make sure they had got the parts and the job could be completed as he said. I was assured that all the parts were all in, and the job would be done. I was called about 3 hours later by another Dave, who I now know is Dave's son. He assured me that the job was done. When I asked him what was done, he didn't know. I asked for the original Dave to call me back, as was told that he didn't know if he would be back or not. I have friends who have a shop next door to Dave's Auto repair, and called them, and they assured me that Dave sr. was there. I called back to Daves, and somehow Dave has appeared.He assured me that the car was done. When I asked him what was done he told me front struts and shocks, and rear shocks. I asked him about the rear springs that were asked about, and that were in the original quote, and I was told I didn't need them. I told him that I wanted them put on, and he said he will have to see if he can get them. I was called back by Dave, and told there were no springs available.Before calling this shop, I was going to do this job myself, and found all the parts needed, why can't he? I went to pick up the car, and was charged the price I was given with the rear springs, But there were no springs installed, so I shouldn't be charged. The reason this job was done was to stop the car from bottoming out, and it still does the same thing, bottoming out if there is someone in the backseat. It is a sedan, and should be able to carry passengers. The person at the shop when I went to pick up the car told me that if I wanted the car, I would have to pay the bill that was left for me. I asked what if the work didn't fix the problem, and was told to call Dave on Tuesday. I called, and spoke with Dave jr.,(Dave wasn't there again???), about the car still bottoming out. I was told that there are no springs available for the car, and was hung up on. Funny, I can find them, and can get them. These people do not tell the truth, and do not stand behind their work. read more

Just picked up our car and everything was great. "Young" Dave kept me informed as the repairs progressed, checking to confirm the costs were acceptable before performing the service. He and the "Dave" the place is named for are straight and honest !! How refreshing!! read more
