The work and customer service at Dave Power is excellent! The four or five years that I’ve used them, their work is on point and on time.
My brother swears by Dave’s and now I will add my name to the list
Courteous and helpful front desk staff who got us set up quickly for the work we needed. Our car was in and out of the shop, work done, in just a couple of hours.
I've had my car serviced twice now by Dave Power Automotive & Marine on 12th St. An oil change and vehicle safety inspection the first time, and a transmission flush today. They are a very busy shop, but Henry and the crew members are all helpful and address my concerns and answer my questions with clarity and…
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.
Very friendly business. It seemed to be on par price wise with other businesses but I feel they were an honest business.
Knowledgeable Accurate Quick Inexpensive Thorough Communicative Involved
They did a really great job on my high mileage Honda. It had a lot of issues and now it’s running great. Their price beat the competition too!
I really enjoy these guys! I would 100% recommended everyone to come in and get your work done by any of these men. They were direct , honest , and genuinely kind. The gentleman working on my car even came and showed me my filter that needed to be replaced, photos of my damages and what was wrong. Loved the…
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.

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.
Got it done in one day. Very good and professional communication. Have used them before and will use them again.
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!

Excellent service
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.…
I was having an issue with my car, after getting the oil changed at a fast food type car place.... it kept misfiring and wasn’t performing properly,so I took it into Daves and they ran some diagnostics and also drove it and discovered the issue for me (a big issue of having too much oil added and it was leaking into…
I have used this business for all of my boat maintenance each year and find that they do great work and are reliable and complete the work on time.
Recently we took our Miata in to have the A/C checked out. It was blowing hot air. While we had the car in the shop we decided to have Dave Power mechanics to do an inspection. They found a few things that needed servicing, transmission fluid change and oil change in the differential and the fuel filter. It was a…
Always a great experience.
