    Honesty is the best policy I prefer you tell me I don’t want to work on your car rather than you lie to me. My car is still pumping it’s gas out they told me it was fine thanks for nothing

    BUYER BEWARE: Pricing here is extremely inflated! I was quoted nearly three times the dealership’s cost for a rear brake and rotor replacement using OEM parts. When I questioned it, I was told, “that’s what the computer makes us charge.” Before working with this shop, compare quotes with other mechanics and your dealership — you’ll likely be very surprised!

    My first time at Dave's Ultimate Automotive was a very good experience. They contacted me to give me updates and estimates. They explained the cause and fix needed to get my vehicle back on the road. I appreciate the great service!

    The air pressure in my tires was low, so I stopped in, and Mark and his team were so kind - they filled them up for me right away. It was such a huge help since I had my one-year-old daughter with me and I’m eight months pregnant!
