Took my car to Dave's because I needed my shift solenoid replaced. In the process of getting this issue fixed, he noticed a few other issues with my car. He was great about staying in contact with me and not working on anything extra without getting in touch with me first. He was patient and knowledgeable enough to explain to me in simple terms what was going on with my car and didn't make me feel dumb. He also ended up saving me about $250 compared to the first shop that gave me an estimate on just the shift solenoid. He was quick and got my car back to me faster than I was expecting. Would definitely recommend.

We had agreed on a dollar amount of work to be done. Then Dave tells me that he did MORE THAN three times that amount, and is getting angry with me as he is demanding I pay him in full right away. He had done some work on three of my cars, and after "saying" he did more than three times the work we had agreed on, he told me he had put a mechanics lien on each of these cars to get me to pay him what he said I owed him. A call to the DMV proved him to be a liar, but this clearly demonstrates his criminal mindset and what length he will go to steal your money. Turns out he didn't even do half of the work that he said he did. He also tried to hold my car keys until I paid him. I am a disabled former Marine, so please note how much he actually cares about veterans. Jacking the price up over 3 times what he agrees on makes a 10% veterans discount not worth anything. He claimed to have replaced a transmission gasket on one car, yet it entirely leaked all the fluid out shortly after; obviously he didn't do the work. Do yourself a favor and avoid him completely. He is a tweeker and a thief, and not to be trusted at all.

Literally stole my car and will not return it. When I met him he claimed how there were a lot of bad reviews and it was because people hadn't paid him. I now know that's not true. I'm pretty sure the dude is a tweaker and sells them to get his fix now.. I will be reporting my car as stolen later today

I would high recommend This shop I did a random stop due to a check engine light. Got a quote and called around and found out that he is not the cheapest but I will say the problem was fixed at a affordable rate.
