Went to Dave Power the first time, and he had either in stock or ordered the items I needed right away. What a pleasant surprise for me to be able to get what I wanted to fix my jet skis. Thank you, Dave, and your other employees for always taking my calls with patients and kindness. I'm excited about the improvements my brother and I are doing. Couldn't have done it without Dave Power and his ability to get what I needed. Thanks Vince

Dave Power deserves every single 5-star review they have. They are honest, reasonably priced, do great work on my RAV4, and really go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

Customer service was amazing! I ve never used this shop before and I needed my wiper motor replaced. It got 4.9 starts so I called them. The guy on the phone was very nice and helpful. He told me to bring it in the next day and they would work me in! I did just that and they ordered the part and got me on my way! Even cleaned my battery connections and replaced a little fuse that needed replaced. So nice! I really appreciate the great service and work from the first call and impression on the phone to getting my wiper motor replaced the next day. Great Job!

Over the past several weeks I ve had my 2011 Suburban come in to figure out a code issue with my car and third times a charm it was figured out. :) I m quite thankful these patient gentlemen were able to do so much for me and fix my constant issue. Thank you very much.

We were so impressed with their friendliness and their willingness to check Elijah s car out! They repaired it immediately.Thank you all for excellent service! We highly recommend Dave s for your automotive needs! Thanks again!

I ve taken my vehicle to Dave Power Automotive & Marine for several years now. They are upfront and honest, thorough in maintenance and repairs. I feel at ease with Dave, Henry, Arley and crew, as I trust they are doing their best every time.

Brought in my '94 Mazda pickup I'd recently gotten for some troubleshooting. Spending an hour on it, 3 issues needing attention were quickly found saving me tons of time trying to figure it out myself. Great customer service.

I got a lemon from a dealer and ended up bringing it here. Henry worked with me on it, he was very friendly and welcoming, and was incredibly upfront and honest throughout the process. He actually ended up helping me talk to the dealer and I ended up getting an offer on a different car. I brought that car right back to Dave Power to have it checked over before accepting. They said the car checked out and it's been fantastic ever since! Can't recommend them enough!

We have a car that we can take somewhere again thanks to Dave Power and his technicians. The car was basically worthless to us because it would not start usually when we needed it the most! Who would guess it was a seat belt module that was causing the battery to run down? The GMC dealer was not interested in fixing it and Wayne Parker auto electric got angry at me because of their incompetence! Thanks to Dave and crew we have a usable car again!

Excellent service. They trouble shot my electrical problem and stuck with it until they figured it out. Then, they charged me a fair price. I ll be back if I need something.

Great service! Had to take my car in to replace transmission fluids and they noticed some other things that would need fixing. Gave me the option to do it now or later, but figured since I am already here might as well get it done. Will definitely be going back for any other car issues!Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

I have had an issue w/ my seat for almost a year. Went to the dealership and was quoted almost $2,000 and then took my car here and within the same day picked it up and paid almost 1/10th of the price. Very progressional and let me know how to avoid the issue in the future.

They explained the situation and the most likely cost up front. They did exactly what they said and it fixed the problem. It was even a little cheaper than the cost they quoted up front. We will return if we encounter car problems in the future. Thank you Dave Powers!

Staff were attentive and easy to get along with. Service was swift, and scheduling was easy. I had 5 days wait to get in and work (on an I/O boat) was finished the same day. Cost seemed to me about right for the work. I would come here again if I wanted more repairs - and I m an hour and a half away.

These guys are amazing! As the new first time owner of an old boat, they performed an overall assessment and safety check that helped to put my mind at ease. Highly recommend and will be back to have them prep for winter storage.

Great service. The tech, despite being incredibly busy, kept in contact with me to give me options. It turned out the engine was seized after sitting for 6 years and I didn't want to throw a ton of money into it, so I was able to pick up my boat without a bill. They could have strung me along and worked up a bill, but the tech was honest and upfront with his findings.

Going to Dave Power is the way business is supposed to be. The staff is knowledgeable and efficient. The price is right in with all industry standards. I had been given the runaround on my product for months until I pulled out of the joke of a mechanic, and went to Dave. I will absolutely go there for any of my marine or auto needs. Thanks again dave you guys are awesome!!Service: Boat trailer service

Took my boat in to get serviced. Was very pleased with all aspects of the business. Very informative, professional and kind. Dave answered all my questions as I am a new boat owner. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows his stuff! He is not shy to spread his knowledge about your vehicle or boat- just ask the questions. His service team is exactly the same way. Very friendly and knowledgeable. When they have your property in hand they treat it as if it was their own. Would recommend them to anyone who needs top quality, friendly and honest service. Way to go Dave!

Dave and everybody down there are great people. I pulled in for a quick weld job on my work trailer, in an emergency situation. Dave came out within minutes and had me back on the road in less than 15 minutes! The weld beads are strong and look great and I can't say enough thanks to the team!

Reasonably priced, everyone was easy to deal with. Busy shop, so they needed to have my car for a couple days to fit it in. Had Subaru Forester rear wheel bearing replaced that had failed prematurely after another shop replaced it. Happy with repair so far.
