I needed a vehicle inspected after purchase. Frank with Davies quickly got me an appointment, diagnosed the car, identified an issue, and recommended I get the car repaired as it was under warranty. The car's seller saw Davies' vehicle inspection report, which included photos, and made the repairs. Frank's integrity really helped me out. I then brought my other car for some starter issues. Davies again identified the issue, made recommendations, and fixed the issue. Davies has great service, at a great value, with integrity as its foundation. I'm very impressed. Thank you Davies and thank you Frank! read more

I've been going to Davies for the past 10 years and multiple vehicles. I have always had honest evaluations, been able to discuss issues with my vehicles and they've always had the time to explain the work. If there were multiple items that needs to be done a prioritized schedule of what to do first, second and so on was presented. The work performed has been consistently top notch as well. Then there's Elizabeth. What an incredible human being! Kind, thoughtful, resourceful, and caring, as well as a wealth of knowledge. read more

I took the time to explain everything that was going wrong with my vehicle. Did not try to hard pressure me into doing anything. Just let me know what needed to be done and the order that it needed to be done in. Very trustworthy auto care. read more

I made an appointment and confirmed it. When I arrived they told me they didnot have time but until next week. Terrible service! read more

This guy didn't tell me the diagnostic was $198 until i had my car towed there. Thought that was pretty scum baggish. Then tells me I need a new motor in a car that was running days prior . Who knows. Then tells me he's gonna charge me if I don't get my car out of there by 3 o clock . These mechanics violate consumer law every which way. I'd think twice and no offense to the mechanic but when you do business like this I would warn any of my family members of the same thing . $198 to plug in the computer and print out a diagnostic ? And doesn't say the price until after my car is stuck there ... give me a break read more

I would rethink going there for AC work. The absolute worst and they will take no accountability and will give you excuses. If you want to know the full details, I can explain. read more

Took my Lexus in for service and the service was thorough and completed in a timely manner. Elizabeth was very efficient and courteous in getting everything taken care of on my car. I feel this shop is honest and reasonable. Happy with my entire experience read more

I have been a happy customer of Davies Auto for the past 30 yrs. They are very honest, and knowledgeable. I have told friends about them. Not an unhappy person to be found. Their work is great and priced fairly. read more

I've relied on Davie's for two to three years to maintain my 30-year-old Lexus. Their mechanics are consistently competent, and I consider the owner an honorable man. The front desk staff are mechanics themselves and very knowledgeable. Though prices are a bit high, I recognize the challenges of operating a business in California. Recently, my old car broke down a couple of times, and a minor mistake by Davie's led to a few extra visits. But considering the car's age and the desert summer, I found the owner and staff receptive. They researched thoroughly, and we reached a fair, amicable solution. I truly believe the owner cares about his customers and the reputation of the business he's built over those last many years. read more

I have been taking my car to Davies for several years, but this last visit his team went above and beyond. I had a mysterious noise coming from the front left axle area. They literally took my car apart several times to find and fix the issue. A big thank you to the entire team at Davies Auto Care. Excellent customer service!!! read more

This was a total waste of money and time. I don't recommend this shop. I had taken my car to Davies years before and there were no issues. My brakes were squealing and making other noises soo went to Davies. I must say Elisabeth is very nice and helpful They had my car 2 full days and when I drove it home it still was making the same noise. I brought it back again for the whole day and again the problem wasn't fixed. They said the mechanic took it for a test drive but if he did he would have heard it. So I brought it back again. I found out he used after market parts My car is an Infinity and the third time they were supposed to have used Infinity parts. I had to take my car there at least 3 times one time for 2 days. 2- 3wks after I got it back the squealing returned. I never went back. Wasted my money. read more

Davies did an incredible job on our 2 cars. A 2013 Equinox and a 2013 Explorer. We had taken the Explorer to the Ford dealership and were quoted $8200. Davies did more work than Ford was going to do and did it in 1/3 of the estimated time for MUCH less $. Honest, reliable, and great work. Thank you Davies! read more

Davies Auto Care is the best of the best. Service is timely, top quality, and reasonably priced. Best of all, is the great family that serve your needs with a nice smile, always polite and great work. Alan Horwitz Ten Stars************** and then some read more

Having just moved to the area last year, we were looking for a good garage to handle routine maintenance on our 7 year old Volkswagen. Davies Auto Care delivered and then some. They were friendly, accommodating, great on pricing and thorough. I'm glad we found a great place on our first go round. Solid, reliable service. read more

I scheduled an appointment and arrived to find they weren't expecting me; they never entered it into the computer. I had to come back for a second appointment. My car spent three days at their shop, spending most of the time sitting on their lot. The end result? they wanted $600 to replace the battery, $800 to diagnose my car further, and $180 for the work they did so far. When talking with the mechanic, I realized he was guessing, not diagnosing. I pulled my car out of there immediately. On the drive home, I figured out what was wrong and was correct in my diagnosis (needed an air filter.) And I'm not even a mechanic! From now on, I'm going to my dealer for service. read more

I finally found a local auto service I can trust. Now I understand why they have earned all the 5 stars ! I had the complete check up on my 2008 Solara , which was efficient and reasonably priced. Richard is great and they text you the results soon as completed. They took me out to the lift and showed me each item in detail. I discussed the needed items with Richard and completed the ones that were most necessary. I was taken to and from my nearby home. I even got a AAA discount ! Highly recommend Davies. read more

I wasted my time on this place. First, the guy kept trying to sell me on a transmission flush. I had made an appointment for a drain and fill. Then I waited two hours only to be told that my 58K mile transmission is hard-shifting, and they won't perform the oil service. If you get a funny feeling at a place that they don't want your business unless it's on their terms, walk out. There's nothing wrong with my transmission and a simple, preventative drain and fill is a nothingburger. Shame! Edit: their mechanic claimed there was no transmission oil dipstick but reality is he didn't even look. read more

Davies Auto Care - Their mechanic didn't even lift the hood of my vehicle before he claimed I have no transmission dipstick, therefore he has no credibility. - Auto Repair Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Dave at Davies may seem like an okay guy, but be forewarned, he doesn't care about you, your car, or anything else other than getting your money. He put an expensive part in my car after i asked him not to and after 1200 was paid to him, refused to call me as he promised, return any of the three calls I placed to him, and apparently has no interest in standing by his work. Please do yourself a favor and find another mechanic or shop to fix your car, unless you just like paying extra for nothing. I'm afraid the folks at Davies are just another bunch of clowns that lack a conscience and could care less about their persistent betrayal of their customers trust. Shame on you Dave at Davies. I imagine he's heard all this before. I would like to see their affiliation with AAA be dropped. Davies is a bad bet with a reputation that's plummeting. Steer clear. read more

Good service at Davies! Highly responsive to customer's needs! They do an excellent inspection of your auto to find and recommend the services needed to fix your car and make it safe! They often go out of their way to get the needed parts and fix your car in a timely manner! Thank you, Davies Auto Care!!! read more

Nice people, but $73.00 for an oil change on a 2012 Nissan Altima is at least $40.00 more than the dealership. Sorry, Davies, but you just lost a customer. We won't be coming back. read more

This is that mechanic service that is hard to find. I took my truck to the dealer and they quoted me a large price for numerous "critical" problems. I took it to Davies for a second look and they told me not even half the issues were needed to be repaired. They fixed the few issues that were needed and the cost was significantly lower. I later purchased a used car for my daughter and took it here to get looked at. They found some issues that needed to be fixed and pointed out areas that were optional but not needed. The prices were fair and reasonable. VERY happy with this business. read more

I must give my highest recommendation to Davies. I recently purchased a 2007 Jaguar X-Type Sport Wagon sight unseen from a dealership in Washington State. Although the Washington dealer performed an inspection, I wanted something more thorough to ensure roadworthiness. There were a couple of other items I needed Davies to take a look at after driving the car for a few weeks. I worked with Richard at the front office. Richard was in regular communication with me and we worked together to troubleshoot an air conditioning defect. We both scoured the internet and shared possible fixes with each other. Turns out the hack I found was not the fix, but Richard's discovery did the trick and the AC works perfectly now. It was nice doing business with Davies; they are friendly, knowledgeable, investigative, communicative, and have fair prices. I'll take my other vehicles to Davies without question. read more

I must say that I've been dealing with Davies Auto Care for 9 months now and could not be happier. They have provided excellent service at a very competitive price. They've even been able to recommend other outlets for service that they couldn't do at the time. read more

Davies is always trustworthy and fair. I appreciate their advice and excellent, timely work.

If you are looking for an auto repair place that is honest, friendly, professional, and provides quality repair, this is the place for you! We highly recommend Davies. read more

Thank you Davies Auto Care for the prompt and professional service.

Have peace of mind with their warranty service. I had a transmission leak on a 30 yr old car repaired there. Needed to use their warranty, and they honored it without hesitation. Very friendly service. Thank you! read more

This place is great. Top notch! My only complaint is that I was quoted an outrageous amount for a relatively minor maintenance repair. I chose to get some other quotes and everyone else quoted a much lower price. I don't understand why they are so expensive! I know they weren't taking advantage of me because I'm a woman, right? read more

This guy is a rip off. Do not take your car here. Let me tell you about my experience. I was a mechanic all my life until I retired. He gave me an estimate to diagnose for $146.95. No problem there. Perfectly acceptable. Next thing you know they say I need a new starter, battery, alternator, and that would still not fix my car. That it also had a short in it, but these things would need to be fixed first. Without my persmission and without an estimate they changed out my starter. I show up and they tell me what they did. I told them to take their part out. They charged me to take their part out that they had no permission changing to begin with. I had already paid my diagnostics fee and then I was charged $431.91 to get my car back. I took my car to another shop. Problem was a short on the ignition coil pack, and a short on the wiring harness from the harness to the computer. My old starter was reinstalled and worked perfectly fine. If you want to get ripped off, take these guys your car. The total I paid to get my car to actually get fixed at the other shop was $580. DAVIES wanted $1,600 just to change the parts that they wanted to change, and I would still have a short. Great job you guys, you are an embarrassment to the honest mechanics in this small valley. read more

R.O.A.P. - Respectful, Organized, Accomplished, Professional. New to the area, needed a maintenance check on 2017 Subaru Forrester. All dealings were no hassle, customer-focused, and clear, Covid compliant. Time and cost estimates were good. I left completely satisfied. read more

These guys are always on top of issues with my PT Cruiser. The care and expertise they show is something lacking in the business world today. Phil who seems to run the "front office" is always friendly, professional and informative regarding anything needed. I recommend them HIGHLY and am glad I found them. read more

My car had problems and needed a tow to a AAA approved shop and Dave himself picked up the after-hours phone and helped me out with navigating how to get my car fixed and back on the road fast. Great customer service and extremely friendly! read more

AAA recommended Davies. My "check fuel cap" light was on. Davies charged me $139.95+ tax for computer testing/check engine light. Placed a $14 fuel cap on my car and charge me $28.79. Less AAA discount my new Fuel cap cost me $154.13, 4 trips and days without my car and they Did Not Fix the issue at all. Sent me to Pete's Automotive Service and that's when the Real Nightmare began. What a bunch of rip off artists. read more

Lackluster enthusiasm and mediocre service. Went in for the AAA free summer inspection and $60 oil change. They ended up charging me $112 and gave minimal feedback on findings. I had to prod to get any information on the condition of my car and it seemed like they could care less. I would not recommend this place to anyone and will be taking business elsewhere next time. read more

I initially took my car to a dealer and they gave me a list of repairs I needed on my car. I about choked at what they were going to charge for the repairs. I asked a trusted neighbor where he took his vehicles and he told me about Davie's. I got the repairs done for almost half the cost the dealer would have charged and the mechanic at Davie's double checked to make sure the repairs were actually needed. My car has over 90,000 miles on it so things are wearing out, but since I found Davie's I don't feel bad about making the repairs to keep it going a bit longer. Also, everyone there is respectful and professional and let me know if the repairs are necessary immediately or if I can hold off for a short time. Best mechanic I've found in this area. read more

These guys advertise free estimates over the phone. Called,discussed symptoms and possible cause. Most likely a clutch. He quoted $1,600 for a clutch, $1,800 for clutch and flywheel...fair enough! My sister in law towed had the car towed on two weeks later,February 21,2023.Wednesday February 22,2023 they checked the fluid and pushed on the pedal. Confirmed what was known. $138 for the diagnosis..fair enough. They texted my sister in law back confirming what we discussed. Dick,I mean Richard text a quote of $2,653.41. I rented a tow dolly and picked up the car that Friday. Harper's in yucca,$1,500. I highly encourage anyone who has been scammed or attempted scam by these folks. File a complaint with the bureau of automotive repair. It's real easy, online,simply state dates and facts. Oh and like Richard told me..good luck dude! P.S. how did you know it needed a flywheel without tearing it apart and examining it? Most of the time they get resurfaced,huh Rich? read more

My car died on the 10 freeway on my way to a conference. I had it towed to Davies on Sunday, left the keys in the drop box, and got a call first thing Monday morning. After much waffling on my part (thought I might need to purchase a new car, then decided against a rash decision), I finally gave the OK to repair it. Dave had the car ready in a matter of hours, before they closed, giving me enough time to get back to LA at a reasonable hour. At no point was he pushy or impatient, and I'm pretty sure they even washed my car before I came to pick it up! He made a stressful event much less stressful, and I highly recommend his shop. read more

I wanted to like this place - it's close by and convenient. Receptionist was nice. But I had trouble with my car after it was given a routine service - serious trouble. Was able to get car repaired by someone who specialized in my car type. It could be that this auto service company does better with American made cars. Or maybe it was entirely coincidental that my car stopped working after the service here. Anyways, I will stay with the guy who got my car back on track - the car is still not perfect but at least I can drive it again. read more

Friendly, but a rip-off. I took my car to Davies to fix a knocking noise at the front of the engine. When I got the car back, they had replaced the idler arm pulley and radiator for $1600. Then I was surprised to find the knock was still there, and the radiator which never leaked previously was leaking. To top it off, the air conditioner didn't work afterward. Run away from Davies. I only wish I had a suggestion for a reliable shop. read more

Egg on my face. Shame on me for referring them. I never will again I had repeatedly told a friend a to go to Davies. I did that after seeing him be jerked around by his normal repair shop. BIG MISTAKE.they charged him $170 for a diagnosis After having it all day for a set appointment they called to say they still hadn't figured it out and needed an additional $170. At the end of the next day they said they had figured it out and for an additional $600 they could repair the issue. (Car was overheating). The next day after the "repair" they told him the problem wasn't what they thought it was and essentially said "we'll keep your money, all $900, now go back to your original repair shop. Bye bye, don't trip on your way out". To me it seems that at the very least, they should charge AT THE VERY MOST only the 2 fees for the diagnosis. A BAD diagnosis. It's like having a liver transplant and after surgery the doctor tells you " gee it wasn't your liver after; boy did I get that one wrong, here's my bill. You're welcome! " Bad job Davies. Bad job! read more
