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.
Very timely completion of work and they saved us money from the initial estimate by finding a lower cost quality part.
Great service
Excellent friendly service. High a uality honest work and expertise. Highly recommend.
They did exactly what they said they would do and it came out perfect.
Great service, though full when time is an issue. Will be a customer again when I need my truck repaired again. Thanks Dave.
Great work, from making the appointment to pickup they were very helpful and professional. Will definitely recommend them.
The ‘56 f100 was running a little rough so they were able to get me in and done way before expected. Great customer service. I’ll be taking the ‘48 coupe to them for sure!
Very courteous
Henry was easy to deal with. His communication was great and car was done much sooner than promised at the price discussed prior to. I will return as needed.
Have been going there for service for several years, like the people and the quality of service. And will continue to go back.
Very polite. Called to communicate what was found and price estimate, then to let us know the progress. Explained problems and repairs in an easily understandable manner. Very personable. I will return.

These are professional and are very good at communication. I enjoyed that they informed me what they found and gave me all the details so that I was able to make an informed decision. Highly recommend them and I will return for any future maintenence and repairs.
I wanted to share that this place did a fantastic job on my boat motor repairs recently. Arly and Henry at the front counter were very knowledgeable and helpful. I have owned various boats over the last 40 years in the Salem area and never used this facility before. I usually take my boats to another reputable boat…
Very satisfied from dave Powers they went over and above on my boat thanks
Was able to schedule an appointment earlier due to minor work being done.
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.
Had to get my Ford diesel fixed. Water pump, oil change, serpentine belt and a couple other things. In and out a lot faster than i expected. Positive upbeat atmosphere. Great communication about service and cost. Thanks guys!
My family and I have been going to Dave Power Automotive forever. My dad has had everything serviced there from classic cars to speed boats. I’ve personally used their services for over 17 yrs now. He’s literally worked on all of my vehicles since I started driving. Super awesome, family run business in Salem. I…
I absolutely won’t take our vehicles anywhere else.
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.
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.…
