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.

The price for the repair was cheap, my car runs better than it did before I got it, and it sounds really cool. Dave is also really good…
