My check engine light was on and I brought it in to get checked out. They ran a quick diagnostic test free of charge and thankfully it was a minor issue.

This is my new go to mechanic / auto shop. Honest, reliable, punctual, does not try to upsell you. Tells you exactly what’s wrong with your vehicle. And does not charge an arm and a leg. Great group of people.

I recently broke down in Utah on I15 - having seen Dave’s on social media I figured if I had to break down Utah is the place to be . Had my 1994.5 psd towed to Dave’s auto in centerville was told it would be a while till they could get to it . , well they put a new double disc clutch in and I figured hey it’s there I’ll have them take care of a few other problems while it’s in the shop . As my truck has over 600k miles on it . They did an excellent job on the clutch replacement, full drive train service and other testing I asked for. And finished the job weeks before I was told it would be done .Being a mechanic myself I have never had anyone work on any of my equipment. So obviously when I finally got the truck home I absolutely had to check their work lol. All work was done to my satisfaction .
I hope I never break down on an out of state trip again but if I do it better be in Utah. Highly recommend Dave’s

I've been going to Dave for the past 7 years and I referred all my family and friends to go there, because not only for the price, but his honesty, and he will beat any price out there for car service.
