Customers frequently praise Davidson Automotive for its punctual service, transparent communication, and fair pricing, often noting that costs are lower than dealership estimates. Positive reviews highlight thorough inspections, friendly staff, and successful repairs on various vehicle types, including Subarus and Mercedes-Benz. However, a minority of low-star reviews report unresolved mechanical issues, such as persistent AC or vibration problems, after significant expenditures, with some citing extended repair timelines and perceived rudeness during interactions.

New in town from TN and I was super nervous about finding a mechanic/repair shop but from the initial phone call, I felt a sense of ease. Joel was so patient and asked me valid questions. He suggested some things, explained what and why. Everything worked out and it didn't cost me a lot. Thanks guys. I will definitely be back if I should have any issues in the future.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

Brought in a 2017 3.6r outback with 104k miles on it to get inspected. They had me out within an hour and saved me 16k as they deemed the car over priced and under maintained. Would recommend to anyone !!

I am so fortunate to find Davidson Automotive since my move to SC. My experiences have always been positive. I have found them to be friendly the minute I walked in the door. They are knowledgeable and honest. I appreciated that they took the time to explain what is needed for the repairs and the costs. I have complete trust in them. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my car's service.

I’ve used Davidson for 4-5 years now on a few different vehicles. They are always great to work with. Easy to communicate with and always makes things right.

I felt well taken care of at Davidson’s! They did a thorough inspection and included photos, and graded the repairs based on emergent, something to watch, and cosmetic. The pricing for parts and labor is fair as well. My family will continue to use Davidson’s as our preferred mechanic. Thank you!

Very great customer service. Very thorough inspection not pushy salesmen. I felt comfortable going back to review the issues I need to get fixed my 'old faithful' truck. We made a plan of action.

Transparency and clear communication make navigating keeping a vehicle safe and reliable stress free - we love being able to assist our customers with that kind of service. Thank you Connie!
