I highly recommend Dave's Brakes & Alignment! This is my second time coming here as a returning customer, and once again, the service was amazing. I had a last-minute breakdown this morning, and they were able to take me in and get my issue taken care of quickly. This is an honest shop with reasonable pricing, fast service, and great customer service. When you come here, you know they'll get it right the first time. I had to learn that the hard way! Thank you guys for taking care of me again. I really appreciate it! read more

These guys did a great job fixing the front end in my dodge truck. They were honest, reasonably priced and their staff were very friendly! If you're looking for a good mechanic you found one, Dave's Brake and Alignment! read more

Sorry, this gonna be long since I actually came here 3 times so here's my review for the three visits. My car shakes when i drive so i called and the guy told me to come in and they can do the alignment and look into it so we scheduled an appointment for the following week 1st visit Arrived at 8 (when they open) and gave my key to Mike and told him about the problem again and he said he will look into it. I took a walk to get breakfast and coffee. Got a call around 10ish to come back, they told me it is the rear links and i need to replace it and then they can do the alignment. they said they can't order it from tesla (which turned out to be a lie). So they charged me for the inspection and told me to bring it back when i have the part. After i got the part from tesla. i scheduled another appointment. 2nd visit I took another half day from work since i assumed i would be done by 11. I dropped the car off at 8. Again i took a walk to get some food, but after 3 hours i came back and the car was not ready, they asked if i wanted to change my break but then it would take another hour and a half so i told them no since i am already late for work but i will pay for the break and everything now and do it next time. I didnt get my car back till 12:30pm...and they told me the car still shakes and they think it's the front wheel. 3rd visit Dropped by at 8:30 and gave mike my key and he said he will call me when it is done. They had like 2 people there already. I figured it would take 1:30 -2 hours and since my wife was off we went to the gym and then brunch. I didnt get any calls so we went home. At 1:30 PM i called to check up on the status and they said maybe another hour or an hour and a half. my wife dropped me off at 3:30pm and I was literally the only customer and my car was still on the lift. Anyways, i was able to get out of there by 4. Took 8+ for a break change with an appointment?!?! So after 3 visits my car still shakes but i got new brakes (hopefully) and alignment done. I am not sure why they have so many good reviews..... i also noticed mike took in walk-ins when i was waiting around...so i am not sure why i had to make an appointment but others dont. Mech also dirtied my steering wheel :/ read more

Dave's Brake & Alignment - Auto Repair Near Me - La Habra, California

Mike got my car in quickly and got me brakes at an affordable price. I would recommend this place to friends and family.

I left really impressed after taking my car to have my brakes done earlier this week. Fast , affordable and best of all, extremely friendly. Mike was the service manager and seriously couldn't have been any nicer. I was sure I'd need new rotors, but after an inspection they said that wasn't necessary and with some machining I would be good. Saved me a couple of hundred bucks. They've moved the main shop up to the building that faces Whittier Blvd. Office is to the left. The customer lounge is really nice. Bright, clean and comfortable. If you need to wait, it not a bad place to do it. Will definitely be back. read more

Made appointment for my old car :)) , I need to fix my AC , also need a new alternator and fixed some other problem , my car runs great Thank you :)) read more

I really enjoyed my visit. I was given a quote and bad advice from dealership and wanted a second opinion. I'm so glad I did. Great spot! Honest! read more

Looked around for a place that could do an alignment on my Tesla Model 3. America's Tire, Discount Tire, and others weren't familiar. Mike and Jacqline were helpful, friendly and fair. I made an appointment for the same day. They did an alignment check and adjust the toe settings for a very fair price. The tech was friendly and professional, too. I understand they work on other types of cars, too. Will probably take my wife's Subaru there next. read more

Dave's Brake & Alignment - Thumbs up for this shop! - Auto Repair Near Me - La Habra, California

They are the BEST! Very honest, I been coming here soon after Dave opened the shop, 1982 or 1983.

Second time I've used Dave's for my brakes. Once again, excellent service, fair price, good quality work. And they even got me out earlier than expected. I highly recommend Dave's! read more

My son's brakes were making a weird noise. I sent him over to Dave's. They couldn't replicate the issue, took the brakes apart to inspect to determine what was causing the noise. They advised my son that the pads should be replaced at the next oil change. Was only charged $20. Had I taken it to the dealer, it would have been minimum $100. We'll be back! Thank you! read more

I came here before for an alignment and the work was good and the price was fare but I just called trying to schedule an appointment and got the shortest response and they're not even open on weekends maybe update that on your yelp. Very sad that you don't know how to talk to customers who want to give you money read more

I'm sorry to have to write this because I believed this to be a honest shop with a AAA rating. I had just rotated and balanced my tires and took it here to have my front end realigned. After a test drive they put it on the rack and started inspecting the front end for ware. They came back stating I had idler and Pittman arms and a lower ball joint in need of replacement. My next door neighbor is a retired front end and brake shop owner so I had him take a look and he couldn't find anything wrong. He had me take it to another friend of his who had an alignment shop with a rack. He also inspected it and found nothing wrong. They quoted me $1300 dollars for these unneeded repairs. Sad read more

You can feel the honesty in your conversation with Dave's. Great service and even nicer people!

Brought in a set of rotors. Chad turned out a great job o. Them! I'm tried other chain stores ( Orileys ) they suck and took a entire day to do a mediocre job. I'll be using them on the next set I need done read more

My car belt broke outside of Shakeys right next-door and my water pump was leaking so they diagnose that and other problems that are not critical but they are able to get my car done as soon as possible which was really fast I really recommend the shop. They are honest work and give you any diagnosis and give you the option if you want to fix it or not unlike these other mechanics, they let you know if it's critical or not, and don't hustle you. The lady at the front desk was very polite and responsive, and gave me great customer service thank you guys for helping me out and will definitely come back to service my vehicle read more

Prior to today's visit, I stumbled upon this auto repair place while looking for a good alignment shop to align my tires after I bought four new tires. I'm here today to get my car's oil change. I noticed that while I was checking out to pay on my first visit, that this auto shop offers other auto services. They have numerous shops at this one location. Dave's Brake & alignment Cannon's Muffler Service LAVco Automobile Service Charles Automotive K-W Automotive Fast Lane Oil Change My first visit was for an alignment. This shop had great reviews on Yelp, so I came to get my car serviced at this shop. After they checked my alignment, they just charged me a $40 inspection fee since I didn't need an alignment since my balance was perfect. I was very impressed that they were very honest with me that I didn't need to align my tires. The guy name Mike at the front service desk is always very friendly and nice. He offers me water every time I visit. The shop has charging cords and ports to charge your electronic device while you wait. The waiting area is very clean and spacious. I'll definitely be coming back here to service our cars. read more

Came to Dave's on a Saturday morning to get my brakes done. Did not have an appointment but they were still able to replace my brakes. Friendly environment, clean waiting room, and GREAT prices. They were able to also do my oil change saving me from making another stop. I will defiantly be coming back to Dave's read more

Lindsey and his team here are fantastic! I've been having my vehicle(s) serviced and repaired here for years! I highly and heartily recommend...! read more

I've been taking my Chevrolet vehicles to this establishment since 2015 when it was recommended to me by a friend who also drove chevys and used Dave's For his repairs and maintenance. Lindsey is a top notch tech, and very friendly and helpful, always has a moment to hear my story about what's going on with my vehicle. Their prices are very reasonable and the work is always satisfactory. I have never had an issue with their quality of work or prices. I highly recommend them! read more

A true gem. Honest, great customer service ( Mike and Jacklyn), and fair price! So glad I found this place. Highly recommendable! read more

Super friendly people! Fast service at a good price, will definitely return in the future.

Honest and fair business! Been taking my vehicles to them for several years now. I definitely recommend.

Not what you expect from your typical repair shop ...will definitely return and recommend. Honesty and timeliness has not been my experience with other repair shops. I found Dave's on Yelp after receiving a lengthy estimate of needed repairs at Midas ...$1,800 worth of repairs, so naturally I needed a second opinion. Mike was great! I was seen at my appointment time, he took time to educate me on my car and was all around honest. My car ended up not needing the service Midas recommended so I walked out paying a minima inspection fee -- saving myself hundreds. Thanks Mike for being one of the Good Guys! The world needs more honest and reliable mechanics like you. Oh, and I found out they do other repair work, not just brakes and alignments. :) read more

Took my 68 Chevy c10 for a wheel alignment and to bleed the brakes, just changed drop spindles and tinkered with steering arms but could never get it right, finally took it to the pros and couldn't be happier, truck drives straight as an arrow and brakes beautifully, price first quoted was my final price, highly recommend this establishment . read more

If you need car repairs Dave's Breaks and Alignments are all you need. Very professional and fast service. Dave has you covered.

Brought in my Jeep for a brake service. Mike at the front desk was great. He made me feel like they were true professionals and seem dedicated and knowledgeable. Was able to answer all my questions with patience. Pricing was fair but more importantly service was great and the job was done on time and right. read more

I went to Dave's and had my brakes worked on...great place and highly recommend them....from the front office to the shop they were amazing...I will be be going back read more

I have been here twice now and left both times extremely impressed! I have gotten an alignment & now break pads/rotor replacement and I would rate 100/5 if I could. Their customer service is as friendly and professional as it gets + honest/fair prices +quick service! I feel so lucky I was recommended to this business! Definitely sending my friends and family here. read more

Using online resources to find the best place to go to for business can be a pain in the ass since we rely on reviews so much. Since this place only had 11, it made me a little weary. But seriously, they need more positive reviews. Linsey was great. He called with a quote, ordered the parts I needed, got everything done in a timely manner, and even went the extra bit to help me learn something new about my car. This place was a lot cheaper than the place I normally go to. I'm pretty sure I may be going here for now on. I spent about $220 for rear brake work, which included parts and hours, on a Mini Cooper S. I definitely recommend coming here. Support local businesses! read more

I've only taken my 2016 Infiniti to the dealer for all it's service needs, so I was a bit apprehensive about taking it anywhere else. But since I was having a difficult time getting an appt. at the dealer that fit my schedule, I decided to bring my car for new brake pads to Dave's since it's close to home. They quoted me $200 per axle, but told me they would assess it first and let me know a more accurate price before they proceeded. Low and behold, Jaclyn called about 30 minutes later to inform me that only the rear axle needed to be replaced. My car was done by lunch time and the total cost was only $208.57. I appreciated their honestly and efficiency. Will definitely recommend them to family and friends. read more

I heard good things about Dave's brake and alignment, so when my car recently started shaking when using the brakes, I immediately went to Dave's brake and alignment. Lin-z quickly diagnosed the problem, gave me an estimate, and later that day my car was ready, and the final bill was even less than the estimate! And, the brakes now work great! You will not go wrong taking your car to Dave's brake and alignment! read more

Nice and friendly staff. Work was done diligently and I feel that I wasn't ripped off whatsoever. Will be back when I need work done. read more

Just pulled my car into Daves Brake & Alignment 45 mins ago. I was instantly greeted by Mike and the rest of the very friendly staff who instantly offered me cold water, WiFi, and a charging station for my phone. They got straight to work replacing my front brakes and rotors for me and had me in and out in a flash. I highly recommended them to anyone looking to get their pads and/or rotors replaced. I called around a few other shops before coming here and they make my decision very easy by having the best price. Thanks again guys! read more

I would recommend this place 100%!! Lindzy knows his stuff and always knows what to recommend. His work is quality and he stands behind it. I just put shocks on my titan and he gave me 2 options and wasn't worried telling pros or cons of either one. My truck was in and out in no time. He also showed me how to upgrade my ball joint boots so it would last longer and I did that as well. Go here for all your suspension, brake and alignment needs. Very reasonable prices, honesty and integrity. read more

Very busy place! They have expanded to include many more bays and other businesses all tied together under one umbrella. I dealt with Mike and he was very cordial. In the end my car only needed the toe aligned and the lower price was exactly what he predicted. I won't know until my new tires get some mileage on them to tell how they did with my alignment. I will come back at a later date and update. read more

My girlfriend was recently quoted an outrageous amount of money for new brakes and alignment by another local auto shop off of beach blvd. My Dad recommended that she check out Dave's Brake and Alignment as he was always happy with their service. She talked to Mike and was quoted for less than half of what the other auto shop wanted to charge her. Mike is very friendly and honest. We couldn't be happier. I will also be going here for any oil changes or work I need done to my car. Thanks for all your help Mike! read more

My family and I have been going to Dave's Brake & Alignment for over 30 years. Dave and staff are very honest and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place! You will not be disappointed! read more

Linsey is polite as hell, a great listener, a fair-priced business man, and a great mechanic. He's NOT a BS'er. I'm an older dude and I've owned over 20 cars in my life and have worked with dozens of mechanics. This guy seems more honest than almost any of them, which is why I don't like to take my 3 cars anywhere else anymore. I studied automotive engineering in college, so it's easy for me to tell Linsey knows a LOT for a guy as young as he is, both the practical stuff and the theory behind it. This is important because he can provide options to address your issue depending on your driving vs. budget priorities. He can usually offer you a guaranteed solution with top parts and perfectly done in a reasonable time, OR, if time is short or money is a serious issue, he can sometimes offer a workaround that will get you back on the road but still keep you safe and not break your wallet. He'll put in the effort to get you a good deal on parts and happily save your old parts for you if you request. You will see people with some really high end cars bringing them here. There is no wonder he is always busy. You may very well need to make an appointment. Oh, by the way, the reason I found him is that I have two good friends who have in the car service business all their lives. They have each worked with several local dealerships and shops so they know a LOT of shops and shop owners and a LOT about cars. But when I asked them who to go to for front end work, they BOTH immediately recommended Dave's Brake and Alignment without hesitation. Once while I was in Linsey's waiting area, the son of the owner of a reputable nearby transmission shop showed up with his car. After we got to talking, I recognized his last name, and told him I knew his dad because he had done the transmission in my Lexus (a great job, by the way) The young man told me, "We bring ALL our cars here. This is the only place my dad lets us go to for front end stuff." read more
