Amazing customer service, communication, and quality of work. They worked on my car after multiple shops gave me run around diagnosis. They communicated clearly on timelines and I always knew what the status of my vehicle was. I won’t go anywhere else.

I can count on Dave Power Automotive for reasonably priced services. They stand behind their work and make sure I’m a satisfied customer. We brought each one of our cars here over the years and like the personal interactions for our questions. I recommend this as a 5 star trusted & reliable service.

Dave’s was amazing! The whole team is incredibly helpful and attentive.

When my car died I was able to have it towed to Dave Power Automotive Marine. The staff was so helpful in diagnosing the problem. They give me two different quotes I'm repairing my transmission. They were also very understanding when you needed some time to make a decision on what to do with my vehicle.

We moved to Oregon a few years ago and were in need of an auto mechanic. We wanted to find someone we could trust and not take advantage of us. We learned about Dave Power Automotive through word of mouth from a friend, and now they have my business. Great service! Dave Power Automotive is honest and trustworthy.…
