This time around, I came in for an oil change on my Lexus. One thing I appreciate is the fact that they'll pull up a Carfax report to see whether other things have been done or not to your vehicle in case there might be something that needs to be addressed. Their front door says it all with their triple B business rating and ASE certified mechanics. They also do a multi point inspection to make sure everything else is functioning. One thing that was pointed out, which I already knew about, was the fact that I had a torn CV boot that needed to be replaced. Since the CV joint had lost all the grease, it was also best to replace the whole axle which doesn't add that much to the price since most of this is labor. As a result, I made an appt and came back a few days after the oil change and had that repaired. I was pleased to see on the invoice that I am a gold VIP member which means I received an additional discount. I also appreciate the 36 month/36,000 mile warranty which dealerships often do not have. As someone who owns four cars, they'll be seeing me again at some point. read more

See all

Anthony is truly the Customer Service Jedi!! Their work is quick and always done right. They make you feel really taken care of! Thanks guys read more

It was a rough week -- my car was in the shop at Dave's Ultimate Automotive in Pflugerville for several days. Work demands made it impossible for me to work remotely, so I had to Uber to and from the office every day while stressing about whether my car would actually get fixed and the cost. Despite all that, the team at Dave's delivered. They kept me informed throughout the process, took the time to diagnose a potential issue, and when that didn't solve it, they didn't cut corners. Instead, they dug deeper to find the real problem and got it resolved with their ingenuity, no shortcuts, no sweeping things under the rug. As the part did not original resolve the issue, Dave's did not charge me for the original part that didnt resolve issue or the original labor fee. I'm not sure if I can say with confidence that OTHER automotives shops would have done the same. I really appreciate doing business with honest and ethical people, and that's exactly what I experienced here. I truly hope that continues, because if it does, they've got a customer for life. Even when I move father away, I'll make the drive back. I'll choose integrity and honesty over convenience any day -- thank you, Dave's Ultimate Automotive on Pecan Street. read more

I've always had a pleasant experience at Dave's Ultimate Automotive (both at the Austin and Pflugerville location) I currently go to the Pflugerville location and staff is always welcoming, kind and friendly. I recently had to get my front brake pads and front brake rotors replaced and they were able to get this done within a quick turnaround and I ended up paying less than what I was quoted (saved a few hundred dollars) which I was super happy about! I definitely recommend coming to Dave's for all your auto repair services. read more

These are some 'good ole boys'. Straight forward and honest diagnostics that follow with fast and reliable repairs that are not overpriced or unnecessary. Thank you for taking care of my work trucks! read more

Went here expecting to pay a few hundred dollars for services. They inspected my car and it was just a bad tire. They didn't charge me anything. I will definitely take my car back here and would recommend this business. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic. read more

I found Dave's through a Yelp search, I needed to get the brakes done on my wife's car. I know these places don't want you sitting around waiting all day in their lobby but I had no choice. I knew the brakes were in need of service, this based on a check done at another garage when I got my oil changed. The prices were in line with other estimates, and after about 4 hours of waiting I got my brakes done all the way around. What I appreciated was the tech working on my car was told I was waiting and he worked through his lunch to try and get me out of there. The guys were fair priced, the place was clean and they offered coffee. I would definitely bring my cars back here to be worked on. Oh, first time customers get a nice little discount. read more

I have been very impressed with the folks at Dave's. Professional, prompt, and friendly. In a world where it feels like good service is a thing of the past, the team at Dave's is a breath of fresh air. Thanks! read more

If I can't trust them to do a simple oil change without potentially catastrophic damage to my car, I cannot trust them to do anything. Went in for a simple oil change: one of the most basic maintenance procedures, and shortly found oil on my garage floor because the technician failed to tighten the oil filter. The filter only needs to be hand tight, but it was barely hanging on and leaking everywhere. Had the oil filter been just a little more loose, I could have lost all my engine oil on the highway, and lost the car. I then discovered they had severely overfilled the engine oil according to the dipstick, and measured 25% over maximum capacity when I drained it out. I now have oil leaking at the engine-transmission interface (a $1600 repair) where I know there was not a leak before, likely from the engine over-pressurized and damaging the seals. read more

Took my Taurus SHO to Dave's for rear brake pad and rotor replacement. Beau and the team did a great job with outstanding customer service. I really appreciate their work. I will be back for any future repair needs - Chris read more

Dave's has been consistently honest, efficient and proven trustworthy for me the past 4 years!. And today they came through above and beyond - I'm grateful beyond words! My radiator overheated driving home last night, I made it to Dave's, left the car and my keys with a note. I know very little about my one and only car which I rely on every day. They called me immediately this morning, had the radiator replaced by this afternoon, and called me to let me know the engine block and thermostat were fine - whew! Amazing, outstanding service and customer care. They are so communicative and transparent - and never have ever tried to upsell anything. There's an excellent reason why they're very busy, but I so appreciate they were right there for my emergency! read more

Definitely a place to take your vehicle when needing serviced. My wife and I have brought our vehicles over for service and we have been SO PLEASE with the results. They have taken the time to diagnose the problem and called to give a complete run down on what needed fixed. Customer service is TOP NOTCH!!! read more

Took my bmw 328i here and they took very good care of it. Needed a ton of work and they knocked it out in a reasonable timeframe as well as price. read more

Dave's services all of my family's cars. They are respectful of my time and stand behind their work. I do not travel without the okay from the technicians at Dave's. Last thing they I want on a long trip through West Tx is car problems. Dave's keeps us rolling read more

Brought in my Mercedes for an oil change and decided to get my inspection as well. They also reattached the under car cover that was coming loose. I was there just over an hour and a half; which was great for what they did and considering they had to wait for parts. And definitely a savings from the dealership! I recently moved from Austin to Pflugerville and was happy to see there is a Dave's Ultimate Automotive here. I used to go to the one on Howard Lane. Great service, good price, friendly staff. read more

Please check brakes when are tires rotated. Make clients knows level of brakes each time. Make sure client knows how long brake can go without being repaired. Thanks understanding I need to wait. I do not mind. Y'all have AC and chair. Friends and family were unavailable to drive me around. I am always treated professional. I hope if there any issue that y'all will tell me. read more

I've had good service in the past and no complaint with any work done in the past. They've provided good communication and upfront explanations. One big disappointment; Dave's will not install your parts, you must buy parts through them. I drive a 1998 VW TDI New Beetle, I need to choose my replacement parts intentionally and carefully. I certainly don't trust unknown and overpriced parts from a non-VW-specific repair shop. I ordered specific parts from a seller that I trust for my car, but Dave's won't put it in because they, "can't Warranty it." Yes, I get that, and I'll sign saying "No Warranty on..." I don't make a habit out of bringing parts to mechanics, I understand that parts are a big part of their income. If it were any of our other vehicles, I would be okay with Dave's supplying the parts, just not in this instance. I can't get Dave's to help me out with a few hours of labor installing a part that I supply, even considering past and future work. I'll have to find a shop that's willing to work with me on this, and all future work. read more

Just had my oil changed at Dave's and joined their repeat customer oil change club - such a good deal! Great service, great prices. Not easy to secure a trusted mechanic -- these folks are the real deal. read more

I got there early and called from the packed parking lot, as I am older and not wanting to go into any places of business, no matter what the conditions. One of the guys came out and took my car right away. It wasn't too long before another brought it out, inspection report in hand. Thank you, DUA, for making it easy to get my inspection report so that I can get my car registered again. read more

I wanted to like this place and these guys. I did. They don't seem like a bad bunch, but I can't say I've ever walked away from this place feeling "taken care of". I've been here before several times for maintenance and while it was pricey, I bit the bullet and paid for the love of my vehicle, but this last trip-will be my LAST trip. I took my truck here for an alignment. Not such a tough request. My truck is lifted and I understood that meant that there's going to be difficulty getting it properly aligned. But do your best, right? I dropped my truck off at 7:30AM, when they opened, left it all afternoon they called me around 3:30 and tell me it'll be ready soon. I get a ride over they tossed me the keys and I drive off...the picture below is how my steering wheel looked DRIVING STRAIGHT after their "alignment"... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I took it back and within 15 minutes they have it fixed...which is great and all but what was going on that they had it all day and then take 15 minutes to actually set it right? They didn't charge me but still it really shook whatever confidence I had in their work. I don't want to completely trash this place because their guys were really apologetic and insisted they usually go for a test drive first, but this was downright scary and I feel like I wouldn't be doing my duty as a consumer if I didn't let others know about my experience. Never again do I want to leave a shop feeling like my vehicle is more unsafe than when I brought it in! I hope you have a better experience than me if you go, I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Dave's Ultimate Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Brought in my car to get an oil change new belt and car inspection went great Car was finished the same day so I was able to pick it up love it we'll go again. read more

A highly reviewed place with great coupons? Yea, I'll give them a try. First impressions starts before I even set foot in their shop. I didn't check their hours and made a reservation on a Saturday (not open on weekends). I quickly got an email back from one of their staff asking for a reschedule. Communication was solid as we emailed back and forth and set up a new reservation Monday morning for a routine oil change. Come Monday morning, I walk in at 8:45. The process was simple. As a first time customer, I filled out a form or two, and gave them my keys. The waiting room had beverages, a tv and nice comfy couch where I found myself situated for the next hour. Wifi was great as I was able to get in work without issues. The staff and mechanics were friendly and the experience was exactly what I was hoping for: get in, get out, and continue on the rest of my day. read more

This Dave's is within a 5-minute drive from my work and they are my go to auto guys. I've been to them for oil changes, car inspections, and overall maintenance issues - no issues thus far and prices have all been fair. Today though, they saved me AND my bank account. About a week ago, I noticed issues with my Acura ILX 2013 car starting smoothly. The car would crank a few times before finally starting after pushing the start engine button. I called and they told me I could drop it off anytime and that they would do a diagnosis to see what the issue could be. Dropped it off around 1015 and got quoted $115 for a diagnosis. They called me around noon to let me know that it was actually a battery issue. A cell gone wrong in the battery but that it had a 3-year warranty on it. I purchased my battery from Good Year Auto last July 2017 so it wasn't my initial go to thought that there were issues with my battery. Long story short, they told me it would only cost $57 for the diagnosis (instead of the initial quote of $115) and on top of that, they included an additional discount. I trust these guys 100% with all my auto needs. They are highly reviewed and know what they're doing. Check out their website for specials/coupons that they run. Don't forget to ask them about the 20% discount for first time customers!!! Thanks to all the guys at Dave's Ultimate Automative in Pflugerville - y'all rock! read more

Always do such a great job. Seem very honest and would not go anywhere else. They have helped me with keeping my old car running well for a very long time. Awesome good people here. read more

Already so impressed!! I needed my car towed after having a flat and then a bad spare. He responded quickly with a very reasonable estimate. He asked really pertinent questions and realized he would need access to my keys... Can was in Cedar Park, we live in Pflugerville. He offered to come by, pick up the keys, and then drop the key off at Discount Tire along with my van, saving me an Uber trip (since our other vehicle is dead at the moment). WOW! Great attitude, great service. We will definitely be using him moving forward--will likely have him take a look at the other dead vehicle, especially since he offers a coupon. I grew up in a small town, and it's a rare treat to find that level of service in today's world. Highly recommend! read more

They were very helpful as we just moved backed to Texas and we needed to get our tags as our 30 days was almost up ! So they completed our safety inspection quickly! Very professional and friendly... looking forward to doing our future automotive needs with them! read more

I had a weird issue with my car that turned out to be a very simple fix, one that the dealer repeatedly failed to diagnose and repair. The guys at Dave's took a look, fixed it immediately, and basically just charged me for the diagnosis. Would 100% recommend and will go back there again. read more

I just love these guys. It is so hard to find anything that is fast, good and inexpensive, but they manage to do all three at once. When I was a kid my dad told me to find a barber, a mechanic and banker I could trust and I did just that. I've brought multiple cars there for years and never had a problem. I have told my son to find a barber and a banker he can trust because he already has a mechanic. read more

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? read more

I love Dave's Ultimate Automobile because they always accommodate my car for service. The guys are super nice and professionals. I recommend them and I proudly give them FIVE STARS! Great place for service! read more

I went to last month for my acura mdx 2005 had P0301 random misfire engine so i told them this is the issue but still say we want to diagnose and its cost around 120 dollar eventhough i told them already thats the issue.Anyway long story short they said tou have to replace your all 6 coils and they.gave me cost around more than 1000 dollar , then my eyes open it seems to high..so investigated it that best of best after market or oem one coil price is 60 bucks but they said its 130 bucks for one coil and then labor to replace. Then i realized they are not right. I took the car and paid useless 120 bucks for so called diagnostic. So i fixed my self all six coils with spark plugs in just 250 bucks and bought them from autozone. I would recommend you dont go this type of so called brand name automotive shop because money eater..please be safe and save ur money read more

I am updating my review, spoke to Josh and they are working with me to resolve my issue, I am pleased with our conversation and feel I may have posted my previous review prematurely, my apologies to the staff at Dave's and I'm looking forward to a great end to this. Thanks Josh and Beau for going above and beyond for me! read more

Very friendly staff which I was so appreciative for after having my car towed for the first time ever. Fair price for the parts and labor to replace my broken radiator fan - 20% discount for new customers is another huge bonus. When my check engine light came on two days later they were very responsive and had me driving again in a heartbeat, at no charge to me. 10/10 for Dave's Auto! read more

Very happy with the level of customer care while taking care of the problem. Diagnostic was a bit high, but the fix itself was pretty affordable and they gave me plenty of rides back and forth from my house read more

Dave's is the ONLY place I'll take my car in Pflugerville. They are friendly, fast, and efficient. Prices have always been very reasonable.

I cannot speak highly enough about this place! My vehicle was having some electrical issues, and on more than one occasion. They've made me feel welcome and I'm confident in their work. I spoke a lot to Beau and Mike, both of whom were understanding and explained things well. Dave's Ultimate Automotive truly went above and beyond to take care of me and my vehicle and made steps to make a potentially very stressful situation easy to deal with. I will continue to go to them for regular maintenance needs and will recommend them to anyone that is in need of vehicle maintenance. read more

Overall a good experience for an oil change. I was able to get in on the same day I called with a minimal wait. Staff was friendly; price was great. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars was that the person that drove my vehicle in did not use the paper mat protector. I know they had them because I did see all the others utilize them. Walking around in the bay with oil and anything else I would have preferred they use the protector...plus it was raining. My mats are EXPENSIVE read more

Great experience at Dave's auto! They got to me quick and we're very honest when my brakes didn't need repair (I thought they did)

They were honest and kind. They even tried to help me see if there was a recall on my vehicle because the part is really expensive that went out on my truck. I won't take my truck anywhere else besides Dave's. Glad My friend referred me. Thank you all for getting me back safely on the road read more

Great service as always. We are loyal, Dave's fans! Great scheduling, appropriate waiting time and nice work. Thank you.
