I went here with my daughter s car. They wanted 750 dollars to fix her exhaust. Didn t even hear or bring up the heat shield issue. An o2 sensor shouldn t cost that much and honestly it s a 10 min thin and the part costs 240 dollars! if they would have fixed the main issue it didn t need an O2 sensor. All they did was running it on a computer didn t even really look at it! Took it to another place and it was $90 dollars and fixing the heat shield since then no issues with and O2 sensors! Do not go here unless you want unnecessary repairs! I will never go here I found A& J auto in Milton fixed everything ! 90 dollars! How did it go from $750 at Dave s to $ 90 at A&J?? No lights on dash for as much as I paid for the diagnostic I could of paid for it atA&J a long time ago!

Our college student son had his SUV towed to Dave s and was quoted over $6k worth of repairs. We had our son s car towed back to NY for our mechanic to look at it. Much of the information Dave quoted was false. They quoted my son $1,034 for new breaks- his car had brand new brakes on it and our mechanic verified they were brand new. Daves quoted $380 for rear shocks- our mechanic found them to be in good condition. Daves quoted our son $334 for a transmission flush . on a sealed system! Daves quoted our son $814 for a fuel shield- our mechanic found it unnecessary. Shame on you to try to take advantage of a college student and out-of-state parents! Dave s quoted almost $6k worth of work was needed, over $4,500 in unnecessary work (I didn t list everything of their ridiculous list of false claims on their quotes). The SUV has been repaired for $1,700 of necessary items after the cost of towing and gas, a rental car for our son while home for his Thanksgiving break, and an unnecessary trip to pick him up from college when it s been made clear to us by our mechanic and several others that the SUV was able to be driven home! College students and parents beware!!!

I had a flat during a road trip a few weeks ago and I chose this shop because it was the one closest to my location at the time. However, I was so impressed by them that I felt compelled to write a review. They are very professional and very polite. Considering that I had 9 more hours of driving ahead of me, they went out of their way to have me back on the road as fast as possible. The waiting room was also in excellent condition with free coffee and snacks. So considering the unlucky moment, I got lucky to go there. Highly recommended.Service: Tires

I took my 2010 Honda Accord in on 6/28/21 for some services, one of which was R&R left rear strut. In working on that, the technician, Jeff, discovered my back seat release to fold them down was broken. By the close of the day they d figured out a way to get it to work; they had to replace a bushing to repair it. So, the next day 6/29 I received a text from Stephannie around noon-ish, who, as I ve said in previous reviews is absolutely the best. She is in constant communication with the customers, and one never has to wonder what s going on with their vehicle. So, I get the text indicating my car is finished and ready for pick-up. And, they came under the original estimate by nearly $200 dollars, and did not charge me for fixing the backseat release. I was elated, needless to say. Moreover, I can t remember the last time I received this level of care, kindness and professionalism. I am completely loyal to Dave s Pro Auto, I will not take my car anywhere else. FYI, they do extended warranty work, too. And, have multiple coupons available on their website for services. Also, as I stated in a previous review, they service the expensive import models, too. One can t go wrong with giving this gem of a business, and their top notch staff a look-see. You won t be disappointed. Thank you all at Dave s Pro Auto for truly making my day; several times over. I am extremely grateful.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

I went to Dave's Pro Auto because they were a service provider for my new to me car's warranty. At the first contact they were very professional and friendly. They were able to get my car in the next day. They provided warranty work on my vehicle and it was done quickly and correctly.I love the fact that they kept in daily contact via text message & kept me updated. When I texted with questions they got back to me within a very acceptable amount of time.I will utilize their services again.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Professional, concerned. Had my car taken there to double check a different shop's diagnoses and an overall safety check for a road trip. They send you a link with detailed info of what's going on, suggest needed maintenance (in my case) and the price, so you know what and why all at once, with a number to call if there are more questions before deciding. I am relieved to have found them and feel confident in their trustworthiness and capabilities. Courtesy shuttle is a great perk too.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance

They have worked on my cars three times in the two short months since we moved here. One time our sons jeep had a leak before be headed back to college in Dayton. It was only a few days notice and Dave's came through. They get all of our business. Professional work at a fair price.

My van broke down nearby on an out of town trip and was towed here. They told me our engine was totaled and quoted us $4-9k for a total engine replacement. After calling our home garage they said the price seemed extremely high and quoted us 2.5k to replace it with a used engine. Got it towed back home to Lancaster and my garage here was able to re thread and replace a spark plug and fix it for $250. Feel like they tried to take advantage of us when we were down on our luck. They say never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity, but with how quickly and cheaply my home garage was able to fix this (in and out within a day) I feel bad about this place.Service: Engine repair

Dave's Pro did a warranty wheel bearing replacement and diagnosed & replaced a weak battery. Very happy with the work they did. Although my warranty wouldn't cover the worn CV joint, they tried, as it is part of the drive train. They had the car ready on time, since I really needed it. Fair and reasonable.Service: BatteryService: Battery

Outstanding mom and pop mechanic shop. I bought a cheap used truck elsewhere and had Dave's go through it. Fixed everything to make it safe and passed all inspections. Costs were very reasonable and Dave himself did the research to find less expensive alternatively sourced parts. My new home for auto service. Thanks Dave's!

$1800 estimate to replace my exhaust!?!?! $400 max for the new exhaust plus 2 hours labor. They must pay their mechanics $500 + an hour. This was the estimate given to me after I told them someone else gave me one for $700. I also filled out paperwork and specifically asked them not to text message me...they've sent me 3 in the last five days asking for reviewsEdit: Since my previous review I received a letter asking me to leave a review!!!. And it was sent FIRST CLASS PRIORITY!!!...they spent extra money to ask me for a review. That's where your money is going if you go there. The stupidity is mind blowing. They asked for a review by borderline harassing me to get it....THEY GOT ITService: Exhaust

After another shop said they couldn't replicate the rough idle problem on my Jeep (I imagine they spent all of 5 minutes trying), I took it to Dave's based on all the positive reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they lived up to the praise. They were able to schedule me quickly, were incredibly responsive with sharing information and went the extra mile to confirm that the issue was fixed completely.

Setting up the appointment was great. Drop off was easy and convenient. Only needed an oil change and inspection, prices were reasonable. Only issue was pickup. Was told it would be completed at 2:15 or shortly after. Arrived around 2:25 and was told another half hour. Frustrating as I had plans and could have made other arrangements and just picked up later without issue.

We were traveling through Williamsport on our way to a wedding in western PA when we noticed a strange noise on our 2009 Honda Civic hybrid we stopped by Dave s and they checked it out immediately and and replaced the brakes in an hour so we were back on the road. The price was standard snd they extended an AAA discount. The best part was the hospitality especially from the dogs Fred and Flynn.Service: Brakes

I was driving from Western NY to DC when the timing belt on my Subaru went out. It ended up doing a lot of damage to the valves and the engine lost compression in all cylinders. I was at the mercy of Dave's to get me back on the road. Since it was a big job, I had to leave my car there for a week. The repairs were not cheap, but they were well within the typical costs of the repair. I needed a new timing belt, my heads had to be machined, most of my valves had to be replaced, and new head gaskets needed to be installed. They used quality new parts and their work is nationally guaranteed. If for some reason my car breaks down due to a faulty repair, I'm covered nationally through partner auto shops. This put me at ease.I already put around 5,000 miles on my vehicle since the repair, and I have not had one issue. The folks there were fair and honest which was a huge relief since I'm from out of town. Other shops could have taken advantage of my predicament, not Dave's. The towing service highly recommended them. Now I highly recommend them.

I cannot say enough about this garage. I have been a customer of this job for over 15 years. They have done all kinds of repairs on all of my vehicles. A local garage that offers great work at a fair price. They go the extra mile for you as their customer. Plus they have Fred the best garage dog ever!

I had a great experience for being the first time there. My engine was damaged and they did a full repair. They fixed it so quickly, and I was able to travel back home safely. My car had no issues on the way back to MN. I recommend 100%!Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

Steer clear of this place. Used Dave 3 times. I learned that he will always find a major repair that's required. And I own a vehicle that's well known for reliability. If there's a problem with his work he will wash his hands of it. He damaged a tire and wanted to then charge me to repair it! He forgot to put in a headlight, charged me for it and told me he did the other one. No sir, not the case.My parents took their car there with a misfire. He couldn't fix the problem, but had no problem taking their money and not standing behind his work. It was a bad coil pack and he's doing a compression check to find an electrical problem. It was fixed by European Inports in a day.Same issue with a good friend of mine. Misfire. Dave claims it's fixed. Charged big money and the car is still broken.Use this place at your own risk!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance

Great auto shop. Trustworthy, professional and reliable. Iv had quite a few bad experiences with local shops and dealers as I believe many have. It's a clean professional company with good staff. Looking for a place to take your car? Take it to this shop.

These guys are the best! I was 500 miles from home when my car broke down. I was able to limp it a mile to their shop. I was in a strange town and miles away from anyone I could call for help. Sherri took my car in as soon as they opened, offered me drinks and doughnuts. Jeff the mechanic found the problem right away. Dave the owner even drove me to the bank so I could get cash to pay for my repair. The cost was very reasonable less than I would have paid in my state of NH. I wish they were closer to me they would be my full-time mechanic! rest assured you are in good hands if you go to Dave's.

Our family was driving from New York headed to Florida for a family vacation late on a Friday evening, when our Odyssey seemed to begin having transmission trouble. We decided to rent a car at the Williamsport airport and the clerk at the Avis rental center highly recommended Dave since she had used his service for years with complete satisfaction. We left our vehicle at his shop and dropped the keys in the night box with a note explaining the situation and that we would be back in a week. Dave kindly called us back on Monday and said he would take a look at it in the next day or two. He did so and let us know that he could find nothing wrong with our car. We asked him to check again, this time under the same conditions that we experienced the issue (uphill at full speed passing another vehicle with the cruise control engaged). He did so and called us back to report that he still couldn't find anything wrong. We thanked him for his service and he didn't charge us a dime. Upon returning to Williamsport, PA, we found our vehicle safe and sound. We are so grateful for Dave's honesty and assistance when we were among strangers. Thank you Dave!

My car broke down in Williamsort and I'm from out of town. The first three shops I called couldn't fit me in, but Dave's did. It was a big job and I ended up having to spend the night in Wmsport. Dave himself drove me to a hotel and picked me up the next day. They are friendly and do great work. Forget the chain repair places and put your car in Dave's capable hands.

My older car needed the knock sensor wiring replaced and other garages were turning me away because of the age of my vehicle and the difficulty of the repair, but Dave s pro auto got me in the next day and had it done before they closed with no issues and my car has great fuel milage again and all the horsepower it was losing. I will now go here for every repairService: Electrical
