I do not consider this individual to be honest or professional. My experience with a battery…read morewarranty replacement was handled poorly and resulted in unnecessary costs. Based on this experience, I would not recommend doing business with him. I would not recommend buying a battery from this guy or having him install it. When the battery failed after only three months, it should have been replaced for free under warranty. However, because Scotty purchased it under his account, Advance Auto wouldn't replace it for me. Even though I had already removed the bad battery myself, he still tried to charge me $122 just to install the replacement. What should have been a free warranty replacement ended up costing me $250 out of pocket. Very disappointing experience -thanks, Scotty.

Extremely honest and professional! I will definitely be using him again! I was told by another shop…read moreI needed brakes, when he checked it out for me, he found they didn't need replaced and was honest, instead of just replacing them.

The next day we had a clear answer to the problem, cost for repairs and a strong recommendation on how to proceed. We ended up not having the repairs done as they were far more than the car was worth. Zac was honest, straightforward and incredibly helpful in our situation. Dave's Garage not only helped us figure out the best plan of action moving forward, they did not charge us for the diagnosis of the problem. They helped us figure out what to do with the vehicle and even helped us remove the license plates so the car could be donated. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and if I ever need car repairs near South Bend they would be the place I would go!

I am new to car maintenance and had no clue what to do, so I googled the nearest auto place and drove .5 miles down the road to Car-X. To my luck, they had just closed and were having a meeting, but they dropped everything they were doing to help me out. They helped me put my spare tire on and Tim ordered a new tire for me to pick up the next day. I drove back the following afternoon after a few meetings and they replaced the tire and had me out of there within 10 minutes. These guys are awesome. Best service I've had in a long time. :)
