They quoted me $1,050 for a job that cost me $340 and a Sunday afternoon to do on my own (auto repair services make deals with parts stores like Autozone so they get parts for about half of what anyone else would pay. So, that job would cost them even less than $300). They take advantage of their customers by completing simple 10 min tasks, which they can charge you $200 for. Then they won't tell you they're gonna charge you until you're there to pick up the car. I had a bad water pump and some other minor issues. They quoted me way too much, and as a college student I can barely pay for it in the first place. So, I get some tools and tell them I have to do it myself because it cost too much. When I came to pick up my car, the older technician said he pressure tested my coolant system then filled it up with coolant. 1. he found the pressure was zero, and still filled it up with coolant, so he knew anything he filled up would just pour out onto the ground. 2. He charged me $200 for the completely useless task which took him 10 minutes to complete. They never told me they were gonna do any of that. When I came to pick up my car, he acted like a dick, I assume because I wasn't gonna pay over a grand for such an easy job. TLDR: Westside overcharges their customers, and sneakily charges customers in anyway they can. read more

Dave is the best!!! You can't find honest legit mechanics like him very often! He took his time going over my car with a fine tooth comb to check out all my concerns. It was like he was working on his own personal vehicle. He was honest and very knowledgable on the repairs that my car needed. I never felt at anytime that he was pushing any unnecessary repairs on me like most shops do. This is hands down the most positive car repair experience I have had and trust me being a girl needing car repairs over the years I usually get hosed and find out too late! Fair prices and quality work and great customer service. My dad, brother and myself are forever Westside customers They even washed my car to boot Please do not let the one negative review on Yelp lead you in a different direction. Westside is the way to go!!!! read more

I was new to Utah several years ago, not knowing any local reputations, being a woman I was very cautious to not be taken advantage of. I desperately needed work done on my older truck plus getting it registered. I was referred to Dave by another local business that trusted no one else I was told. I too have the utmost RESPECT, TRUST and CONFIDENCE in Dave, his mechanics & staff. He has expectations of the best service performance being done under his roof and nothing less. As a woman, as a LOYAL customer for life I cannot express my gratitude enough for the EXCEPTIONAL service I've been given over the years with serious and minor repairs including regular oil changes and yearly smog/safety inspections.

My Lincoln wouldn't start and my close by mechanic said he thought the timing chain had hoped the sprocket. That meant with this engine it was ruined. He suggested to take it to Dave at Westside. I towed it down and replacing the engine would cost $3K plus. I went home and cried in my beer, even though i don't drink. A couple of hours later, Dave called to tell me that it was just my battery not having enough amperage to start. He could have waited a week, steam cleaned the engine and charged me for a new one. Even though his pricing is fair, I don't go to Westside to save money, I go because I know that Dave is a man of integrity and will always be true. He's an amazing mechanic, too! Mike Karr read more

This is the only mechanic I'll ever take any of my vehicles to. They're honest and extremely fair. They may have some news that I don't want to hear once in awhile, but I'd rather get that fixed then wait till further down the road when it cost me an arm and a leg. I know when I bring my vehicle in and tell them what's wrong if they give me a quote, I know that's exactly what I'll be paying. If they have to do other repairs that cost more they will call me first. I find honesty to be the most important aspect at any auto repair shop right after the ability to actually fix vehicles and this place excels in both those areas. I would highly recommend this place to my friends and my family. read more

I have known Dave since 1997 when he worked for another repair shop in Orem, Canyon Auto. We continue to take our vehicles to him because of the honest , fast, reliable, and competitive service he provides at his own shop, Westside Auto. I have never experienced the same issues or problems others have shared otherwise I would not continue to follow Dave since 1997. I am picky about who works on my car and not shy about complaining if things aren't done to my liking. Dave is reliable and an expert in his field. We trust him with all our vehicles from American to Imports. The negative - shop isn't open on Saturday or Sunday. read more

I took my truck 04 F150 in to get it looked at for dying and running rough it ended up being timing chains the price they gave me was more then 300 dollars below anywhere else i called i was recommended by multiple people to this shop and im glad i listened there service was also vary fast the other shops said it would take them a couple days to get to but they where able to do it the same day! another great thing is the owner of the shop Dave personal called me to enplane what the issue was and made sure i understood this will be the shop i will be taking my truck too from now on read more

These guys are awesome! Not only did they beat everyone's price, they also were very fast. I have a 2009 Honda Accord and just had them replace my CV joints, full break replacement, and they did my safety and emissions at the same time. Dave called me personally and walked through the whole thing before doing any work to make sure I understood what needed to happen. I would definitely refer these guys to anyone! This isn't my first vehicle I've taken to their shop; 2004 dodge ram 2500 they fixed up for me perfectly, 2004 toyota tacoma put a new exhaust on. They can do anything! read more

If you are looking for an honest Auto Shop, this is your place. I took my car in for a repair here and the estimate was about $500. This was less than another estimate I had, so I had them do the work. When it was time to pay, the Man helping me said "Oh, it looks like it cost less than we thought". The total was only about 420! It's a small shop out on Geneva road. It can be easy to miss, and when you find it, sometimes it hard to find a place to park. Those are the only negative things I can say. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

My elderly father (who knows something about cars) started coming here years ago because he learned right away how honest and ethical they are. They are very knowledgeable and skilled but do not try to deceive or rip you off. I know very little about cars and always come here for questions or concerns because I know Dave will take care of me and be honest and fair. Their prices are fair and they stay busy with no real advertising because of how well they treat people. I highly recommend them to anyone tired of not knowing who to trust! read more

I've been going to Westside Auto for 9 years now and I'll never go anywhere else if I can help it. Dave and his crew are amazing, honest, and have, on more than one occasion, gone above and beyond the call of duty. For example: my door panel on my old car ('94 Mazda 929) kept coming off, parts were impossible to find/not made anymore, and I couldn't get it properly fixed. Dave rigged a closure for my door out of scrap metal and didn't charge me a dime. He is the best and I always recommend him and his crew to my family and friends. read more

Took my work truck to them for emissions testing, 07 Toyota Tacoma. Very polite and friendly staff, as well as knowledgeable. They let me know that my rack and pinion was leaking, and it was something they could quickly take care of. Scheduled an appointment to have it taken care of at a later. They quickly took care of it, and very happy with the job they did on it. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I was passing through from Georgia to California and blew up my power-steering pump. They were able to get me in and seen that day when no one else could. They were also cheaper than the dealership which could get me in but not until the next day. They were awesome at helping me get on track to California in a jiffy so I could be with my wife and kids before heading out. read more

West Side Auto is great. The people are very nice and easy to work with . I have had work done there from a transmission replacement to a oil change and renewals.

Dave is an excellent mechanic. We recommend Westside Auto to all our friends and our new neighbors that move in. We have brought our Chevrolet Suburban and Dodge Ram truck to him for years. Call and you can have your car seen the same day. They are quick and easy to work with. Our favorite mechanic! The receptionist is so helpful! read more

I have taken all of my vehicles here for years, they have been great to work with and have fixed the problems. When my truck was in an accident the auto body shop even took it here to get fixed, that made me even more confident in their abilities. I recommend Westside Auto to everyone who needs a vehicle repaired. read more

With 2 teenagers driving and 3 autos in the family, we need a good place to take care of cars. I have come here for years and Dave has always treated me well. If you want a place that you can come back to over and over and know you are being treated honestly, this is the place. read more
