A couple of weekends ago during a cold and rainy Saturday morning, my engine light came on. My regular shop did not answer the phone. I happened to see a copy of a Groupon special we had for Dave`s Ultimate Automotive. I called and within two rings, Dwayne answered. He treated me as if I had been a long time loyal customer, although this was my very first time to call. Although his shop is closed on Saturdays, ... view morehe not only answered the phone, but he made arrangements for a mechanic to see my van that morning. When I got to the shop, the mechanic was extremely friendly and efficient. He checked the van, determined I could keep driving. It was a huge relief to be able to determine that I could continue to drive the van during the weekend. I made an appointment to have the van fixed during the week. When I returned for the scheduled appointment, I found the staff to be very friendly, they called and explained what was wrong with my van, gave me time to think about options. The whole experience was excellent. I have to say that I am most impressed with the fact that Dwayne answered the phone when the shop was closed and made arrangements to have someone look at my van.

... that do seriously good work!! I`ve been going to Dave`s up on Howard for a couple of years now, and every time I leave the place I feel good about the work they`ve done. Trust goes a long way. I can trust DUA to take care of problems with my wife`s vehicle even if I am not in town. How many businesses do you know that`ll take your phone call and just say ""don`t sweat it, we`ll take care of it for you?"" They hav... view moree gone above and beyond the call of duty a number of times. Any time I`ve needed a hand, they have been there to help me out. They help keep my Jeep and Dakota rolling just fine!! Dave`s regularly has specials, VIP discounts, a taxi service, and they have developed a discerning palette for fine baked goods .. thanks to my wife! Yeah ... we recommend them 4 show!!

I am not a car guy and have had concerns about most mechanics, but I have been taking all our vehicles to dave`s for the last 6 years and have had great experience with them. They give detailed recommendations, but don`t pressure about unneeded work. I just want to know what is most important and why, and they are always patient in answering my questions about what are the priorities in keeping my vehicles running ... view moresmoothly in the most cost effective manner. I will contnue to recommend this business to my friends and family.

Just recently went to this shop to get my brakes fixed and got great service from these guys and I now don`t have any more problems with my brakes. Highly recommended.

I have been using Dave`s Ultimate Automotive at the Howard Lane location for about a year now. I`ve gone to other repair shops that did not even begin to know what customer service means. Needless to say, I did not use them a second time . At Dave`s, my service advisor is Brad and he is great...I make sure I talk to him when I bring in my truck. All the managers and techs are excellent and I know that I will rece... view moreive the best service and repair available. They take the time to explain what needs to be done and will also let me know which repairs I can safely wait on. I need to be able to trust that the repairs are done right the first time and if something does come up, I know Dave himself will make it right. I`m just glad I found these guys!

I have had nothing but great experiences at Dave`s Ultimate. I have been going there for 7 years now. Never had a problem with any repairs done there. Friendly staff.

Dave?ˆ™s has been my #1 auto repair shop for about the last decade.

What impressed me and never disappoints are the high level of competency, friendliness, and integrity of the owner, Dave, and each & every one of his employed auto experts.

They?ˆ™ve been consistently on target in diagnosing & repairing my vehicle, and sending timely reminders for preventative maintenance.

Every time I walk in I can?ˆ™... view moret help but notice how genuinely happy the staff is and that turnover is very low; I?ˆ™ve run into the same folks there year after year, a very good sign at any place of business.

The place is clean & comfortable. The original North Austin location sports a cozy customer waiting area with couches & chairs, tables, a coffee station and an internet station?ˆ”complete with computer for anyone?ˆ™s use.

In addition to its supreme auto repair service, Dave?ˆ™s offers a myriad of peripheral services for the convenience and well-being of its customers and the community, including a free & safe shuttle, low-price rental car availability, and charitable events as Dave ?ˆ?gives back?ˆ?.

At Dave?ˆ™s I feel cared for, and I?ˆ™ve been recommending Dave?ˆ™s at every opportunity since before learning about his referral reward program, just because when I find such a good thing I feel compelled to spread the word.

Bottom line: They are competent, honest and provide excellent service. Strongly recommend ! Cons: Labor may be on the higher end My story: I have a 98 honda civic which was producing a lot of noise while driving because the wheel bearings were in poor condition. Previously, I`d taken my car to Lamb`s Automotive. After a diagnostic, several visits and buying my own part, they took my car, had it for half a day and tol... view mored me that it couldn`t be done because my wheel bearing was old and hard to remove and they did not want to damage the axle. So, no progress after several visits and dollars spent. After a few weeks I had to take my car in for a check engine light issue. I found Dave`s by googling for mechanics with good reviews. I mentioned my wheel bearing issue as well and they promised to take a look. They gave me a higher quote than Lamb`s on the labor. But I gave the ""go ahead"" because I trusted them after they had fixed my check engine light. The good news: they were able to change the wheel bearing unlike the incompetent mechanics at Lamb`s. Here is the best part: They had made a honest mistake - they changed the wheel bearing on the wrong wheel (the mechanic had changed the one which he thought was the worst and not the one i wanted replaced). When I spoke with the service rep, he instantly agreed that it was their mistake. They fixed the wheel bearing on the ""correct wheel"" for free! That`s customer service for you! And the car is in great shape now...

I do not really know where to start on the excellent service that I have received from Dave`s Ultimate. I have been a customer of Dave`s from the beginning of Dave`s business on Howard Lane. Being a female, I fully rely on Dave`s staff from the front desk to the mechanics knowing that they will take care of my 1999 4-Runner faithfully and not try to sell me work that is not needed.

I take my vehicles there... view more for everything including oil-changes and I have my tires rotated every other oil change. The staff has actually cleaned my wheels after rotating the tires which was a great surprise and I was truely thankful as they were really dirty. His staff will notice things such as when they called me to say that my registration stick was expired. I had the new one in my sun visor so the staff at the front desk switched it out for me. That is the kind of extra work that I appreciate very much and not charged for. I am taken to work and picked up at the end of my work day.

I really appreciate that Dave is concerned about his customers as Dave will call me and inquire about the service that I received. I fully trust the service at Dave`s and would not take my vehicle anywhere else. I refer everyone I know to take their vechicles to Dave`s Ultimate if they want trustworthy mechanical work and excellent cutomer service. Dave and his staff are well trained for their jobs, reliable, truthful, and very efficient. Keep up the good work. I am sending you more customers. Thank you for taking care of my vehicle and me.
