Under new ownership but all good. Had my 2007 camry looked at and instead of charging me for a full diagnostic- they were honest and reported that it was a simple wiring issue, they tightened and ensured that was the only issue. No charge. I feel grateful taking them in to people that have a business to uphold but can still be genuine enough to not rob me for a simple fixing. Thank you again! Moni B read more

I haven't been to very many mechanics as ive only just started having car issues at my 3rd year of driving. but I will absolutely keep coming back to accel. Kelly has been a huge help in discussing my financing options as well as the general issues with my car. as a young driver with little experience in cars + financing he helped me understand EXACTLY what was going on under the hood as well as again, with financing - which is barely explained in school these days. the work was done exceptionally well and the pricing is fair. thank you! read more

Have used them before good job . Made a appt to repair my 2007 gmc got a ballpark est . , they took my Vin numbers to order parts , Dave called the morning after I dropped it off , said the job was too hard . Had to pick up and take somewhere else .serious waste of my time . read more

I would love to give them another star. They have always been very fair and do an incredible job. I have had several examples of them calling me back to let me know that what I thought needed to be done was not necessary or they are able to get a part at a cheaper price. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else . read more

This place is wonderful. They go above and beyond ! My family is in Indiana so it's hard for my dad to come to fix my car like he has in the past. My cars power steering went out so they got my car in a day before scheduled and fixed my car issues. This is now where my dad and I want to bring my car from now on! read more

No where can you find a better locally owned and operated auto maintenance facility. They provide a great service with fair rates for work and ensure your satisfaction. Been coming here for over 20 years and never had an issue. Looking for a great place for auto maintenace this is it. read more

Went here for the first time, the receptionist was super friendly as well as the mechanics. Was very pleased with the work they did and the prices were great too. Will definitely be coming here for all of my car needs and reccomending to everyone I know! read more

I've been servicing our cars at East David for many years now, and I wouldn't trust them to anyone else. Their philosophy is to give people great service and to be honest with them, and I've seen this play out time and again. They'll never try to upsell you -- in fact, they do the opposite. They look for exactly what HAS to be fixed and educate you about what may be needed in the future. I once had to get my car towed to East David after it died in a parking lot. I was convinced it was the starter and told the mechanic (rookie mistake). He insisted it was just the battery and sure enough, he was right. My point is, many other shops would have followed my lead to get more money, but that is just not how East David works. You can be sure they're giving you the fairest, most up-front assessment and price. As a woman, that's especially important to me. I'm always at ease there in part because I know the staff will be respectful and not take advantage of my lack of automotive knowledge. They are awesome! read more

We have been getting our vehicles worked on at East David since 2001. I highly recommend this shop because of their professionalism and friendly attitudes. read more

I just have to take a moment to gush about East David Automotive. You guys are AWESOME! I have never visited a more honest, low-priced business with the best of the best quality! I feel like family when I walk in now. I know I'm not the only one, everytime I'm there for simply an oil-change all the customers walk in like they are all friends or family. Before I went to EDA I took my Mazda to many places shopping for the best price with a place I can trust. No one has made me feel as valuable as East David. I'm proud to say they are my lifetime mechanics. Thank you for always taking care of me! read more

After reading the earlier review I'm not sure if I've been going to the same place? I've been a customer of East David Automotive for nearly 10 years. I started taking my car here when we first moved here from Arizona and was specifically looking for a shop that I could partner with for the care and maintenance of my families cars. We had that in Tempe, AZ at a place called "Classic Gold Automotive" (which I would also rate 5 stars by the way) and we wanted it as we moved cross-country to the Dayton area. EDA has not lest us down in that partnership. I've also found that the receptionists have varied over the years but I've never found them outright hostile...Everyone has bad mornings every so often! EDA was initially recommended to us by family members who have lived in the Dayton area for almost 30 years. I'll be honest and say I don't know how long it has been around (obviously more than 10 years and I think much more). The technicians at EDA are all certified in many different areas of automotive maintenance (the certificates are displayed in the waiting area) and that is what they focus on - they don't sell tires, they don't do body work. They keep the car maintained and running well. They make great recommendations on local businesses that can help with the other aspects - but they religiously keep to their core competency. Our experience with them has spanned from simple oil changes all the way through more significant mechanical repairs (brakes, cooling system, engine, etc.). We have been fortunate to not have any catastrophic problems with our cars (e.g. engine rebuilds, etc.) but if I did - I would take it to them. I have always found the quality of the repair to be very good and cannot think of a time that I had to take it back to resolve an ongoing issue. I can also say that they are competitive with their pricing, but not 'cheap'. They do a good job and charge a fair rate. Their strength in my opinion comes from doing what is needed, when it is needed. A pertinent example: My wife took her car to another regional shop (multiple locations) b/c her brakes were squeaking. The shop put it on the lift, looked at it and told her she needed breaks and rotors on all four wheels and that the steering fluid was leaking and that needed to repaired (the whole rack and pinion I think)...Sum total about $1500. I took the car to EDA and explained what had happened - they looked and found similar things, but their answer was "Front brakes need new pads and rotors turned, rear still have 40%. There is a small leak in the steering fluid at one of the seals, but it was barely detectable. They asked if we noticed any spots in the garage (which we hadn't) and suggested that it is possible that it is the seal contracting b/c it was very cold. They would not it in the record and watch it. The suggested that if we weren't noticing spots and there wasn't a noticeable drop in steering fluid level then it didn't need the repair." Cost to repair about $175 for the front brakes. Over the next couple oil changes they check and let us know that not only was there no change in the fluid level, there was no longer fluid leaking at the seal. Net savings $1325... So - to sum up - we have been very pleased with the partnership at EDA. They are extremely reasonable on price for their repairs. They are not always the lowest price (e.g. Oil Change may be a bit more expensive than Jiffy Lube, etc.), but they are far more reasonable than a Dealership on everything and for the typical maintenance they are often more reasonable because they do exactly what needs to be done with very high quality. They stick to what they do best and they give great recommendations for places to go to get similar quality service for the things they know others can do better. read more

Hi, I have used them several times. They are very sharp and have fair pricing. You just can't go wrong.

I have been dealing with East David off and on for about ten years now, and there is not a company in the area I would feel more comfortable referring to others. It is nice to know there is an honest company that knows there stuff in my backyard. read more

Receptionist is super nice. But they couldn't even fix my car. I'm having to have it towed back home. Super disappointed.

East David Automotive is a reliable business. The staff is honest and professional. I've taken my car when I thought there was something wrong only to be told it was fine! No Charge!! This is a company that can be trusted. They provide honest, quality service. read more

This place is the worst!!!! The lady at the front desk had a bad attitude. And yeah they fixed my car and I mean I'm the kinda guy that can live with one or two things wrong but they messed up 7 THINGS on my car! My car is stick. They didn't use the e-brake or put it in gear so when I got in it. It rolled back and hit a rock, scratched the bumper. They didn't tighten the barring enough so it started squeaking. They didn't check the hoses and fluid levels like I asked and the belt for my water pump snapped. Had the oil changed. Didn't put a new sticker in. Didn't tighten one of the lugs all the way and it came off while I was driving in the highway (that was fun going across 3 lanes of traffic to get it). My gearshift we was glued on and I asked if they have anything stronger than use it. If not leave it be. The busted it and put it in my consult and didn't tell me so I thought they stole. But they broke it. Pretty much the same thing in my mind. And I had my favorite CD in the player and they could have just turned it down but no. They had to eject it and snap it in half. East-David Automotive is a pathetic excuse for a repair shop. I wouldn't even give them a one. I'd give them a negative 600 for their poor service and lack of care. read more
