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.

Henry and Arly were so helpful, kind and knowledgeable. They were more than accommodating and we are so thankful for their service. They got us in last minute, when they were bombarded with work. They had great attitudes and just wanted to help us, and they did!! I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Dave’s was amazing! The whole team is incredibly helpful and attentive. I’ve brought multiple vehicles in for inspections and otherwise and they are always happy to try to fit me into their busy shop schedule. They are thorough and communicative about their plans and intensions and really keep you informed. Will always keep coming back here!
