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.

The guys at Dave Power, looked my engine over and determined that the work I asked for wasn't needed,they called me before proceeding and saved me some money. Very reasonable prices with no hourly minimum. Will definitely use them again should the need arises.

Though they had my truck for a long period a time due to a shipment error of parts, they did a great job keeping me in the loop. Henry is a man of his word and I appreciate his customer service. They have my business.
