Car Care Tips
Brakes
To make brakes last longer, it’s important to avoid unnecessary wear. Sticking to the speed limit, braking early to keep from slamming on the brake pedal, and coasting to a nice and easy stop all help prevent the overuse of your brake pads.
Oil Changes
There’s an age-old debate about how long your vehicle can go between oil changes. It depends more on you than on your car. If you drive in extreme heat or cold or just drive a lot, you should probably change the oil every 3,000 miles. Moderate drives can wait until 5,000.
Auto Body
Nobody wants to have to take their vehicle to the body shop. However, you want to ensure you choose the right place when necessary. Read reviews, have a conversation with the shop owner, and get several estimates before you choose.
Auto Detailing
Even when your vehicle isn’t hit by another car, it can still sustain dents, dings, and minor imperfections. Think about routine detailing service to keep your vehicle’s coat of paint in prime condition no matter the season!
Client Reviews
I called in the evening to get an estimate for brake pads/rotors. He was extremely accommodating getting us in the next day. He was very good at communicating prices and what needed to be done. I will definitely use him for our future car repairs and highly recommend him!!!
He has a tow company that charges $30! No matter what my issue or complaint has been, he always dives in and takes care of it. I recently had a brake pad smoking and he went above and beyond! Last week I had a ball joint going out. Not only did he do an awesome job but he didn't over charge me. I'm only going to use Dave's Auto. Seriously. He has great prices, is ASE certified, and he warranties
Was heading out for a vacation to find out my AC didn’t work! Couldn’t find anyone to look at it until I called Dave and I’m so glad I did! I will never go to another auto shop as long as he is in business. Not only did he fix my AC he checked my whole car over knowing I was going on vacation. This was above and beyond anything I asked. Thank you Dave not many people like you
Dave worked on my car about 3 weeks ago. It was a timing cover gasket he did a wonderful job! He was honest and fixed my red grand prix in a timely manner. I highly recommend him! He won't overcharge and will give u estimates! I give him 5 stars hard to find a good mechanic who is honest and reliable thank you Dave !!
