  They're a pretty reliable place for oil changes and seem to know what they're doing. However, beware that just like any other auto shop, they do tend to overcharge for certain easy to DIY repairs - for example, they quoted ~$125 for an engine air filter + cabin air filter. I understand this is the "industry standard" but it feels scummy everytime because both of these combined cost ~$50 tops (if you buy OEM) or ~$20 if you're okay buying cheap yet reliable stuff from Amazon. $50+ for what is like 5 minutes of labour at most (i.e. effectively $600/hr) is a ridiculous upcharge.

  My car broke down and I had it towed here. The issue was under warranty, and instead of charging me $1000 to fix it they told me to take it to my dealership to get it fixed for free. I would have had no idea about the warranty until they told me & they even printed out the warranty details that I could bring to the dealership. Super impressed with the honesty & service & would definitely go back if I need to.

  I went in 6 months ago to get a tire rotation. Now 6 month later, my regular mechanic where I normally get service can't get the lug nut bolts out of my wheels. I never had this issue before. The one time I had to get service at a near by location I went to Dave's, but came out with a troubling issue. They are normally wrenched in by hand at my current mechanic, but now they are completely stuck and now I have to handle this issue with my vehicle. Would be weary about tire rotation at this location.

  I discussed everything with them and they said to tow the car there and then refused to diagnose or repair and I had to spend money to tow my car AGAIN!! That is not fair or right! When I had my car towed, the driver said this is normal for them because he had towed other cars to another mechanic after they agreed to diagnose/fix the car. They also wanted almost 200 dollars to look at, no joke, a dead battery/alternator. This is not ok. I will be looking at contacting consumer protections.

  This place is great! My old car broke down on me and triple A took my car to them. They explained everything that was wrong, and fixed it in a timely manner. They never spoke down to me or made me feel dumb for my car being old and worn. After they fixed it, I traded that car in and got a new Subaru Forester. I took it in for an oil change, and decided I would wait for the car there. They warned me it would take a while, but it ended up only taking about an hour! They were great and super personable. I overheard them calling other customers to walk them through what needed to be done with detailed pricing as well. Seems like they have financing options, too! Super great place and I will 100% be back.
