Dave s shop was recommended to me by a helpful employee at the autozone in town. I really lucked out. I was towed in with a gas leak and a bad alternator. Dave kept the price incredibly fair and the repairs were done in no time.

We stopped due to a minor issue with our mirror. Dave helped us really quick and we had an interessering talk about differences between the US and Germany. Highly appreciated his service - we will Stop over If we once come Back to CA.The full experience was worth min. 5 Stars. :-) thanks again

Driving back to Las Vegas, my car suddenly went berserk with the battery light flashing. Luckily, I spotted A plus Auto Care and pulled off the highway. They swiftly diagnosed the issue, ordered the necessary part, and had it fixed before closing time! Thanks to their prompt and efficient service, what could've been a nightmare turned into a smooth journey back home for dinner.Kudos to their team for their honesty and hard work. It's reassuring to know such dedicated folks are serving our community!

Stopped in for an oil change in our RV. Not only did they get us in quickly, the work was topnotch, priced well, efficient and double checked! We felt like we found a very honest and caring auto care shop, staff and owner!

Dave is a great mechanic, super nice, and honest. You can't go wrong! My RV broke down in the area and he helped me get it up and running and back on the road. Definitely the place to go if you are in the area.

I came to this shop out of necessity. I was coming through Needles from California, and ran into some major problems. Dave was amazing! He not only fixed what was wrong, he personally helped me out during the waiting period. He provided me with transportation and took great care in helping me to make choices that would get me back on the road again. His staff, Sonny, I found to be very sweet and helpful as well! I am now safely back in California and everything is perfect. I would recommend this shop to anyone who in a pinch needs help with their transportation. You ll surely find what you need here! A huge thanks and a big hug to Dave and all of his employees. Best of luck to all of you!Debbie YoungCaliforniaService: General repairs & maintenance

They did a great job and was the cheapest tire shop in the area by 50%.

Our camper van broke down. David and Edgar did an amazing job to get us back on the road in two days as the radiator had to come from Las Vegas. I'm super happy with the services provided and the time that they have put in to help us to be back on our way. They were very punctual and updated us accordingly. Many thanks!

I had my first unfortunate experience of having my car battery die on me while on the road. However, I was lucky to have had it happen at a gas station that was only a block away from A+ AutoCare. Dave and Sonny were able to get me back on the road and have me arrive at my destination in the nick of time.

On a cross country road trip and found my 2004 Sienna in need of a thermostat replacement. Called a bunch of places and decided on Dave s shop because of all the great google reviews. Gave him a call and he gave me a fair honest price quote and he got me in the next morning to have it worked on! Awesome customer service and they got the job done quick and the van back on the road. Highly recommend this shop for your auto repairs. Friendly honest auto shops are hard to find. This one is a gem. Thanks again Dave and crew also GB the shop dog is a sweetheart and made the whole experience even better!

In the shadowy corners of Needles, where reality intertwines with the arcane, exists a treacherous establishment by the name of A+ Auto Care. Lured by its facade, I ventured in, hoping to find aid for my gallant metal steed, Subaru. But alas, I had unwittingly entered the lair of Dave, a silver-tongued deceiver, not yet fully consumed by the zombie spell but deeply ensnared in its malevolent grip.As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long, haunting shadows, Edgar, Dave's sinister henchman, slinked forth. Together, they wove a deceitful plot, hoodwinking me with assurances while they mercilessly ran my faithful Subaru into the very jaws of destruction. With every turn and twist, they spun tales of "tests" and "diagnoses," all while the heart of my loyal steed weakened under their treacherous hands.As dawn threatened to break, they presented their malefic master plan: an extensive transplant surgery for my already tormented steed, demanding a king's ransom in return. But their wickedness did not end there. Their so-called "guardian" dog, a feral beast with malice in its eyes, sought to terrorize my true guardian, Rollo. Dave, with a smirk, dismissed it as "love bites," yet the creature thwarted Rollo at every turn.Time seemed to stretch endlessly as Dave ensnared me in hours of mindless zombie murmuring, the dark spell attempting to cloud my judgment and tether my spirit. Yet as dawn's first light pierced the gloom, clarity washed over me. Realizing the depth of their malevolence, I mustered every ounce of strength, escaping their clutches with Rollo and the weakened Subaru.Travelers of Needles, heed my tale: Beware the siren call of A+ Auto Care and the silver-tongued necromancer Dave. Let not his twisted words or the hypnotic drone of the zombie spell lure you into their web of deceit. Protect your steeds, guard your hearts, and let no shadow lead you astray. The path is fraught with danger, and some tales, as I've learned, are best left untold. Safe travels, and may the stars guide you true.

Dave and his team really saved the day!! After getting a 3 hour expected wait time from insurance tow company, Dave recommended Needles Towing. They came in 45 mins and rescued us from the Mojave desert! Then Dave had us on the road in four hours with a new Radiator for our Town and Country. 4th of July weekend saved! Great customer service, would definitely use them if you find yourself on the side of the road near Needles. Thanks!

Dave, Edgar, Sonny, and everyone else at A+ Auto Care Inc did an entire engine replacement on our promaster van. Which had a seized engine.The repair had unexpected hiccups from delivery of parts, to things that cropped up during the procedure which greatly delayed the process. Leaving us disheartened.I felt like they were genuine about the procedure, about the cost, and Dave took extra time educating us on the vehicle. Hoping to drive it safer and better in the future.One small thing to beware of, with how big this procedure was and how expensive, I believe the customer facing service could have been a little better. Between communication, updates on changes, and more clarity on the expanding invoice. It felt like we fell through the cracks a couple times, where we were left guessing.But overall for the first experience we had in Needles California and my history of the auto service industry gouging my eyes out of my wallet. I trust these guys to get you back on the road and that they genuinely care about the projects they're given.On a side note, with how much time we spent around the area, I observed that they turned much smaller projects over quicker and for what seemed to be really good deals in comparison to the downtown Seattle Washington prices I'm used to.

I was out on a little road trip with my friend to Turtle Mountain Wilderness and my check engine light came on. Pulling off to the first exit and finding the first mechanic we could, A+ Auto Care was exactly what my car needed. The service was friendly, helpful, and efficient. If it wasn't for their help and knowledge I am not sure what we would have done.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

I had a bad experience with the place. They changed me $ 628.00 for a Alternator and a servantine built. I was not happy.

My story is like this....last December I was working a job near Goff's when one morning I started my truck and had no oil pressure. Towed it to A+ Auto care and after the inspection received an estimate. Dave Lineberry the owner arranged a Uhaul truck to tow my trailer home as it would take several months to acquire the new motor. 9 months later the truck was ready and I just have to say it runs extremely well surpassing my expectations. ....just five days ago I accidentally pinched the power cable connecting to the truck and I was traveling so I stopped in and Dave and Luke had my wiring repaired in about half an hour so my satisfaction is extreme about this place and would recommend anyone with Auto problems to call Dave.

A+ Autocare is outstanding. My wife and I were driving westbound on I 40 at around 8:00 pm, and accidently drove over road debri, which tore up our undercarriage. Unfortunately, Subaru no longer supported that transmission. Dave and Edgar had to find a transmission, install it, and program then it. Dave was in constant communication, and worked diligently on our car.The shop is very welcoming and Dave and Edgar are very knowledgeable. You're in good hands at A+. I highly recommendA+ autocare.Service: Transmission

Well what can I say. I got an oil change from another place and they put way too much oil in my engine. I was on a long trip when I checked my oil and found out. So I googled oil change places and they were the closest.I walked in and told who I assume is the owner about this. He said that he would have one of his guys take care of it.Now I'm not interested in starting a political conversation with anyone, I just don't want to go there. Well the (I assume owner) starts talking about certain ex-presidents and former secretaries of State hiding emails and whatnot. I really really didn't want to talk about any of them but he just wouldn't stop.Then finally his assistant came so we could just get the extra oil removed. Well they tried to use this machine that no one could figure out to suck out the extra oil, Which is ridiculous because all you have to do is bleed some out from the oil pan but they kept bumbling around trying to get this machine to work. Finally the guy gave up and just drained it out of the oil pan like I suggested. That cost me 20 dollars.If I had a way of catching the oil I would have done it myself.

Moving cross country and my truck decides to break down in the middle of nowhere. I get towed to this place and all I can really say about this place is that it s a life saving oasis in the desert. Dave and his crew took such good care of my truck and had us back on the road in two days. This place is friendly, professional, and I fell in love with the shops furry patrons as well. A kitty and pup that Dave took in. Not only that but he called me to make sure I had arrived to my destination and check up on me. Not only that but the repairs were all reasonable and within my budget. This is a shop unlike any other because I actually find myself missing it because of the friends I made there. Thanks again guys.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Battery, Oil change

Dave and the folks at A+ were awesome. Our Mercedes blew the one belt that rules them all late at night outside Needles. He diagnosed the car correctly first without even looking at it... all we told him was, the battery warning light went on, then the power steering stopped, then it overheated all within about 10 seconds of itself . We verified his instincts were correct, he was able to get the part within a couple hours and had us on the road by lunch time. Super fair price, really nice guy. Highly recommend! Thanks,Dave and Edgar!I also want to add, I can only imagine that the one guy that left a 1 star review must be the perfect example of, you get out what you put in. Dave and his crew deserve every 5 star review they got. We travel a lot, and take our Mercedes 320GL to its limits with our off road tear drop - so, sadly, this is not the first out of the way/off the beaten path/only game in turn mechanic we ve been to. But unlike other times, I would gladly return to this shop for car repair if need be.Service: Engine repair

These guys are friendly, very knowledgeable about RV engines! We broke down on the desert highway almost to Needles, Ca. We called thru our insurance and we had Terry come out on a Sunday. He was the most compassionate fella you'd ever see; he picked us up and first took us to A+ Auto to see if they could even fix it. He then continued to a KOA for us to spend the first night. Next morning Terry's back to take us & the RV to this garage. (A+Auto) Terry had offered to take us to the tiny Needles airport if we need to leave right away. (I had 2 app'ts in Las Vegas) Who does that?Long story short, A+ Auto got our RV's engine running super with an gas filter & pump replacement! The RV had sat for 2+ yrs with a quarter tank of old gas. We thought additional new gas & 2 bottles of cleaner thrown in the tank would have made it ok. I thank Dave (owner) and Marty (an extraordinary mechanic) and even Lenny, who fixed our radio/camera system by reinserting the fuse. (didn't know why the radio/cameras stopped on our way home!) We thank A+Auto for getting us back on the road again and getting us home after a desert breakdown & 3 day delay in the tiny town of Needles! It was NOT fun being stuck in Needles! But our RV is ready for the next "adventure"!

I needed to get my oil changed, and so glad I decided to go to A plus Auto. Dave and his crew were so helpful. My check engine light was on and had been to two places who assured me there was nothing wrong and turned it off. Dave decided to check and discovered my catalytic converter was bad. He let me know about the warranty which was about to expire in less than 200 miles, and I was able to get it fixed at the dealership, saving me a thousand dollars. He also found a rusted out pipe that several other places had failed to notice and was able to fix it in a timely manner at a reasonable price. All the staff was friendly and helpful as well. Thanks so much for caring and taking the time to go above and beyond!Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance

Very knowledgeable and fair. Thanks to Edgar and crew for awesome job. Rear end looks great, they even spray painted it! Couldn t found better people to help us out .

I'm so grateful to Dave and his team for taking care of the trailer I'd been pulling from South Carolina for the prior 2 days. Somehow the trailers foot had been lowered and when I pulled in for my 14th gas stop, it scraped the ground and was completely damaged. Luckily, A+ was just a short distance away and I dragged the trailer into the service yard. I don't know how it happened but it could've been so much worse than it was. Dave ordered a part to replace the trailer foot and the wiring for the lights and had me back on the road in about :90. I made it to Sacramento to deliver the truck and trailer and I will never forget his kindness and attentiveness to my need. Thanks A+!

This shop is great. I figured so close to the freeway they would rip off people traveling from state to state or vacationing. Fortunately for me not true. They will not take guesses on car problems. Technology allows them to know exact problem with any car. They may take a few minutes to diagnose and give estimates. They don't work for free but price is fair. The mechanic is awesome, been working with cars most of his life. Dave is great too if shop is busy, he is the owner. They are great in emergencies, get you and car to shop. Walk to motels, food, etc. Thanks guys for assisting me. Jean

When moving from Cali to New Mexico, my check engine light came on. Wasn't sure what was going on. They were already closed by the time I decided to stay in Needles but went there first thing the next morning. They were clearly busy but Dave went above and beyond to help me. I told him I was passing through with my husband and babies and he got me back on the road the next day. Extremely thankful for their services!!!! Great place to take your vehicle.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change
