Kind Words From Our Customers

I only take my vehicle to Dave’s. He’s Ford certified and worth every penny. They service a variety of makes and models, though – I just happen to own a Ford and I won’t get service from anyone who isn’t Ford certified. They offer a nationwide warranty on parts and service. He’s an honest mechanic – he won’t try to take you for a ride or fix what isn’t broken and they always give you a quote before they start repairs. The customer service has always been excellent! Dave is also a veteran so you

I would highly recommend Dave’s Automotive Repair on 95th St. in St. Petersburg, FL My air conditioner was blowing warm. I needed help asap. They provided transportation to & from my home & did a thorough diagnostic review. I had my car back the Same Day. Best it’s ever run! Great staff – Kristian made it all happen & made the process easy. 12 out of 10 stars. I love supporting local businesses. My hair thanks you too – no more bad hair days!

Janet Murphy-Stuiber

I called Dave’s after looking up who’s a really good mechanic in the Seminole area. The man who answered the phone said to bring in my van and they’d check it out for free. He pulled a Carfax report to check on it’s service history and they suggested what to do to fix the issue. They put air in my tires, and Dave actually crawled under it and took photos to show me that it truly does have a rear seal leak. My former mechanic said that it did, but another said that it didn’t. So Dave showed

Ivan Muncy

While on a beach vacation, my engine had a massive misfire Sunday night. Dave’s had great reviews, so I called them first thing next morning for help. Kristian was easy to communicate with and was able to work me in that day. My Tahoe was ready by 4pm that afternoon with new spark plugs and wires. Included in the invoice was an explanation of everything that was done to diagnose and fix the issues. I am so grateful they were able to take me as a new customer, diagnose my vehicle, and get it back

Erin Smith

Absolutely incredible! I can not recommend this place enough! I am pretty clueless when it comes to cars so I am always anxious going to a new auto shop but Dave’s took all my worries away! They are quick, friendly, and so helpful! I took my car for a maintenance inspection and they provided me with a detailed list with estimates and worked with me on which maintenance should be prioritized so I could manage my budget on keeping my car in good shape! Not only did they explain everything in detai

Michelle Tomaski

I moved a few years ago and needed to find a new mechanic. I have now found my forever mechanic! I’m beyond elated. I told my best friend how well I was treated, and his jaw hit the floor. Finding a wonderful business like this is like finding a needle in a haystack. More companies need to take a page from Dave’s playbook. Thanks, guys! I’m looking forward to bringing all of my business to you!

Michelle LaRose

Dave and team helped me fix a long term nagging manual shifting issue. Great communication and easy booking. Digital invoice and I was able to review the repair and pay online. Fast and reasonable price. They followed up after. Same day repair, but I really like that they have a secure shop with a locked fence. Great service!!

F45 Training Largo East

Very pleased with my service at Dave’s. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I’d recommend Dave’s. I’ll return again for future services. Dave, himself, let me know that my tag lights were out and changed them for me so I wouldn’t get pulled over and ticketed. That was phenomenal that he took the time to do that because that’s not why I was there.

Donna Pierce

I always trust Dave and team to treat my car with the best care. I bought my car last year after my other car was flooded out in Hurricane Helene and have not had it serviced since then. After new tires, brakes and a few other minor repairs I feel like I am driving a new car. Absolutely quality work!! I will never go anywhere else and Jennifer in the office is a real sweetheart! They really make you feel like family. 😊

Stacy Gloer

Where to start, everyone here at Dave’s was absolutely fantastic!! Top notch service across the board, from start to finish. Found the issue and fixed it fast an accurately and for a reasonable price. Will be coming back for sure if I have any other issues and will be sending everyone I know.

James Begraph

Veteran own business.My wife was very impressed with Dave . He Will give you all details on what repairs are needed. Honest and trustworthy. Dave is now my full time mechanic. Please give him a call

Steve

I came in with a lot of vibration and Dave and his team were able to inspect and properly diagnose my vehicle with a very reasonable price. I also needed a fuel filter housing 6 weeks prior but didn’t write review for my HD that was misdiagnosed at a different shop but they were able to find the issue. I will be bringing my vehicle here from now on.. Thank you Dave and Team…

Dave’s truly saved the day. After dealing with an ongoing issue, they were the ones who finally got it fixed. The office staff is also incredibly helpful and efficient. In auto repair, perfection is rare — but Dave’s comes pretty close.”

Danny Garry

My experience with Dave’s automotive started with a courteous and professional phone call with Jennifer. They had me in and out in an hour with a thorough and accurate diagnosis. Having just moved to the area I have found my mechanic and will continue to work with Dave’s. Chris

Chris Branton

I am big on supporting Local and Veteran owned business’s whenever possible and Dave’s Automotive repair is both. I also like that they take appointments for minor issues and in my case it was for a leak check and recharge of my A/C unit with dye, with a follow-up the following week to recheck for leaks. I will use Dave’s for my next oil change and any future issues I may have.
