I can count on Dave Power Automotive for reasonably priced services. They stand behind their work and make sure I’m a satisfied customer.

Dave Power and his workers provide great value. I had a 25 year old car towed in, and they brought it back to road worthy. Brakes, muffler, tie rods, and a few other tweaks and I was on my way.
