I trust my two German hi performance cars to their care. Daves does all my in between services mid way to dealer services while in warranty period. After warranty do all the services on both cars. Also took 100% care of my truck while I had it. On time. Clean. honest good work. In a couple of my in between they pointed out under warranty problems and in one case arrranged to have the dealer pick it up to fix. Thats good service
I went to this location and it looked like it was shut down. Everything was locked up and they were not open during their posted hours.
We have been patronizing Daves for maybe 30 years. Always honest,c lean, on time and pleasant to deal with. Everything from major repairs to tune ups and fan belts. We have never been disappointed.
They are very professional and do an outstanding job.They guarantee their work.They also get the work done in a very timely manner.R/Suzanne
Fantastic knowledgeable hard working shop. Great service! Would recommend to anyone!
Youll receive Excellent Customer Service at Daves and the work performed will be completed in a timely fashion.
Brought my Prius in for service. Check engine light was on. They said it was fixed. Drove for a few days and blew the head gasket. Took to the Toyota dealer and they said that who ever worked on my car “didn’t know what they were doing”. Never take your car to Dave’s Auto. They will rip you off. Trust me!
I recently had my 2012 Charger Die on me while I was driving. I called a few places and they referred me back to Daves Auto shop. I had used them in the past and honestly forgot about them. So I had my car towed to see what was wrong. Within an hour, they had evaluated it and gave me a price. I compared them to the dealer and they were 1/2 off. I gave the green light and by the end of the day they had a new alternator in my car working perfectly. When I picked it up, i recalled that my brakes had been acting up. I had recently taken it to Firestone in Chula Vista and they said it was fine. It was not!! On a recent trip to Arizona, my entire car was shaking when I used my breaks coming down the hill. Really? I just had them checked. I decided to have Daves auto check them. Within 1/2 an hour they said yup its the rear rotors. The price was great and I gave the green light again. Before the end of the day, they had it done. This place is fast, priced at a reasonable amount and most of all, they are trustworthy. This unfortunately is hard to find at auto shops. From now on, ALL my cars will come here for everything. Thanks Jeff for your help and quick follow up. I appreciate it.Oz Cruz.
I walked away in shock—where have these people been my whole life???I have no car education/background but I can read my car owner’s manual. Jeffery or Josh (I think are their names) have the ability to communicate clearly and educate me on all that my car needs. Most mechanics tell me “All your repairs will cost a million dollars.” And when I ask for help to understand why it costs so much, most mechanics sound irritated and impatient with me. I DREAD going to the mechanics. BUT NOT at Dave’s. They had great reviews on Yelp so I thought I’d give them a try.I came in after noticing in my owner’s manual that I was way overdue for a transmission servicing and a timing chain replacement. I already knew a timing chain would be a pricey but important investment. But they took a look at my car and could have easily charged me $1,400 but told me instead “that since I keep up on my oil changes I have another 40K miles before I need to get a new timing chain.” Obviously, they could have made money on me but chose not to. They were super patient and kind even though they had to explain a lot to me. I’ve been to so many different mechanics and they are the best in customer service and car expertise. I would recommend anyone to them especially women who aren’t especially excited to walk into a mechanics shop.
Excellent service! They provide the details re: whats needed now and what can wait.Straightforward service staff who are professional and get the work done right, on time and stand behind it!Ive had them service my 1998 Jeep for 10 years now and theyve kept it up and running!Thanks guys!
Saw reviews of Dave’s Auto Service online. I gave them a call for the repair and they said they could do it. I called Dave because I could not trust my dealership. I ask Dave to verify the need for repair and they had it on the lift showing me in 5 minutes. You could never get this at the dealership. They were professional, courteous, and I got the car back on time as promised. Got to speak to Dave personally. Would recommend this business to anyone. Car actually rides better when I purchased it new.
I’m very pleased with Dave’s Auto Service because my vehicle would not start this morning so I contacted Dave’s and they allowed me to have the car towed there without my being with it. Dave’s received the vehicle then called me with the welcome news that it was a bad battery, I was so sure it was the starter! Within an hour it was ready for pickup. Great professional people and service! I highly recommend Dave’s Auto Service!
Absolutely the only place to take your cars! Honest. I trust them 100 per cent
John at Dave’s Auto is always helpful and knowledgeable about any concern I have for the car. The shop always does an amazing job with quick turn arounds. Even when unforeseen problems occur it doesn’t seem to hold them back. They always accommodate to my schedule which is the biggest hurdle for me I drive a lot for work so always need my car and they keep it running the best it ever has. Thanks guys!
Great place to go. They were helpful and informative about what was going on with my vehicle and offered options and recommendations with no pressure. I will be returning if my vehicle has trouble in the future.
I take all my vehicles to Dave’s, personal and business. I take out work trucks there because I need them done right and on time. Dave’s hasn’t let me down yet. If my trucks are down Then I can’t make money and they make sure I’m back on the road quick and I appreciate that!

Absolutely thrilled with this repair shop. I had car trouble last night and took my car in to Dave’s first thing this morning when they opened at 8am. By 930 they had called me with the problem and solution to my car and by 11 my car was ready to be picked up. The price to fix my car was understandable and they were quick and courteous the entire time. Thank you to Dave’s Auto Repair and time Jeff whom took care of me the entire time. My family will be back with any of our required maintenance and or services that come up with our cars.
Had a lot wrong with my daughters van. Its her only vehicle and she needed it fixed ASAP. Called Daves and they got it in that same day at around 10am. They got all the repairs done before 4pm. Great work, great service. Thanks Jeff for making it all happen with no stress.
We recently relocated from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego. My SUV needed a brake job after our long drive. We were very fortunate to find Daves Auto Service. Dave, Karen and their staff were very professional. They provided OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Karen recommended a nice restaurant while we waited for our vehicle to get serviced. She gave us a ride there, and my wife and I had a very nice lunch. Karen picked us up after our car was ready (quick service). They provided VIP treatment and were very attentive. They are truly awesome and I highly recommend Daves Auto Service.
Clean, professional, friendly and honest.... All things that Ive heard about through the reviews online are all real through my experience in person. This is now my go to shop for all my auto business needs. I even asked about replacing my throw out bearing on my Tacoma and the guy was very honest told me dont do it until its bad. He has experience of the Tacomas infamous throw out bearing squeak. And instead of lieing and taking my money he sounded like all the helpful guys on the forums online. True sportsmanship of the car world.
We have been customers of Daves Auto Service for many years. Wehave always been greeted cheerfully and respectfully. The employees are warm and friendly. Dave has a very gracious staff. I have always been satisfied with the quality of work and the timeliness in which it is completed. I believe they have integrity and have always been fair and honest in all our dealings. I definitely would recommend family and friends to take their vehicles to Daves Auto Service.
Very happy with the experience at Daves Auto Service. They performed a very large repair on my Ford F350 diesel and did it in a minimal amount of time considering the holidays. Jon was very familiar with the issues on the truck, was very thorough explaining everything answering all questions and never rushed me off the phone. We had been dealing with the mechanical problems for quite some time and already had repairs done at another shop which didnt work out. After one visit to Daves Auto, Jon and the team there identified and did the correct repairs so that my family has a reliable tow vehicle again. Thank you, we cant wait for the next desert trip now!
I cannot say enough about Dave and Dart. i began using them before they moved to their current facility, more years than i can remember. They have provided superb service on all of my vehicles. They provide quality service with unequaled professional pride and customer care. They are also cost conscious, giving me the choices i need to make sound decisions about my vehicles. Oh yes, they are nice guys.
Superb service. Friendly professional staff. No overselling. Work performed quickly. Estimate provided before work is exactly accurate. Been searching for a GREAT auto repair service for several years. I FOUND IT at Daves. I heartily recommend Daves. Youll love their team!
I had a great experince with daves Auto Service, this is a place that won my business for years to come. they gave me an estimate on repairs and recomended that i go through the delaership 1st to see if my service falls under warranty 1st (Who Does That Anymore??) these guys had my best interest on whats best for me the customer thats rare now a days. On top of it all the estimate they gave me was a little higher than what they charged me, they got the parts i needed for acheaper price and dedcuted the difference from my bill!!! Thats a company you can trust for decades Thanks Daves Auto your entire staff is awesome!!!! see you guys soon - J Moore
For years my dad and I have always gone to Dave’s for repairs. Prices are always extremely fair, repairs are always timely, and the technicians are always friendly and helpful. Couldn’t imagine taking my car anywhere else.
My 4x4 van is a challenge to work on, and the crew at Daves Auto has been willing and able to meet every hurdle with skill and patience. They are honest, knowledgeable and connected to many other highly skilled shops. Thanks for steering me towards help with our exhaust system, shocks and Lockers! We would not be consistently safe and operating at maximum ability when we take off on our off-road adventures without these folks in our corner!
If you have a diesel truck look no further these guys are the experts with still maintaining a great price for all your repair needs.Dave & Jeff have been honest and very helpful on my duramax thru out every problem I been having with my truck.Best place in Chula Vista to bring in any vehicle for repair knowing it’s in good hands!
My 1st time and had a great experience and service I was able to explain my needs they gave a good risk assessment and found a way to save me money SAFETLY! Daves will be my go to for my Ford Explorer!
The service this people provide it is SOMETHING ELSE. Profesionalism is not even a word for them. This people make you feel like you’re at your own REPAIR SHOP, they make you feel so comfortable and relieved. The service is amazing, I recommend DAVE’S AUTO REPAIR any time, for any issues with you car. God Bless this place. If you call them, please ASK for John.
Daves Auto Service. From the counter staff (friendly) and mechanics, they are very courteous and professional. They are upfront and honest with issues regarding your vehicle (no upsell). Their goal is to please the customers and keep them coming back. Great concept that all businesses should follow. They have a great working relationship with each other and their customers (FAMILY). ..Daves Auto Service represents what is good in business and customer service.
Brought my car in to take care of a broken brake light and was in and out in 10 minutes. The cost? Absolutely nothing. Just that they hoped I would consider coming in for future service. These are truly great guys and have definitely gained a new customer. Thanks!
I had them flush the cooling system and replace my leaking radiator, flush the brake lines, replace an abs sensor in the rear axel, align the head lights and replace my cracked serpentine belt all in one day. I am always happy with their quality work and customer service. I highly recommend Daves Auto Service. Check them out. 15 + year customer.
Always honest and professional. Been bringing cars and trucks here for over 20 years and highly recommend them for any job. No one likes to spend money on car repairs and it is usually an unplanned expense when a car breaks down, and you feel vulnerable because you have no knowledge of cars, so when you can take your car to a honest place it helps. Thank you for the continued fabulous service and honesty!
Very fast and professional. Would recommend to everyone. Took in my 2006 Dodge Ram and they fixed my fuel pump in a day. Very close quote as well.
Rare to see an honest mechanic, especially if your a woman but Daves Auto has never been dishonest with me. They have never tried to push me into doing any unnecessary repairs. They go above and beyond for their customers. I truly appreciate the employees, they are amazing! I highly recommend them- they stand by their work.
After having been vastly overcharged, and receiving poor workmanship from several other mechanic shops, Daves was recommended to me as a shop with total honesty and excellent workmanship!The recommendation was right on point!The crew is caring and efficient. The jobs are completed on time, (sometimes ahead of time!), and the prices are more than reasonable! Dave and Dart go out of their way to help their customers keep their cars operating smoothly. If there is a problem that they do not address in their shop, they have a great source of other excellent businesses to whom they refer their customers. This a TEN star business!!
We have been taking all of our vehicles to Daves Auto since 1999. I do not work on cars... at all. I met Dave, Dart and the rest of the outstanding employees there and have had every major and most minor repairs/service done in their shop. They have taken the time to earn my trust, kept my aging vehicles running like new and treated my wife and I like family. I would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality, reliable service (and I have). They have never done any work that wasnt 100% necessary and have always kept me apprised of preventative maintenance I can do to keep my vehicles on the road. They have been a pleasure to work with and I look for a long relationship in the future.
They told me it was going to cost me 1,145 for a 250 dollar work. They lie and they just want your money. I will never go there again.
I have my 1996 Toyota Previa serviced by Jeff from Dave’s Auto. They were honest, finished the job on time and charged reasonably. They’re excellent and highly recommended.
I just found my local mechanic guys. I will definitely go back for all my car service needs. Great customer service and great prices!!!!!
Professional and eager to get your vehicle back to you as quickly as they can. Highly recommend Daves Auto Service, ask for Jeff.
Amazing customer service, beyond expectations. Repair work was quick, well done, and true to the price quoted. Excited to have found such a great place for car repairs.
Great service. Awesome people. Best prices in town
They repaired our car in the time they promised. Everyone there is very pleasant and helpful. We will continue to take our car there anytime it needs work done. I would highly recommend that anyone thinking about getting work done on their vehicle take it to Daves Auto Service.
Daves auto goes above and beyond when it come to customer service. I am always able to speak to someone when I call. If I have any questions I need answered, they are more than happy to answer them. Since I have been coming here, I have been very pleased.
Always a pleasure and spot on. Great service at a great price!
These guys are awesome! Ive tried other shops before. Since finding Daves we no longer go anywhere else. Honest and straight forward that dont overcharge.
I have been taking my work vehicles and personal vehicles to Daves Auto for many many years. I have always been happy with the service and quality of work Ive gotten. Its very hard to trust mechanics among most other service-oriented companies, I have always and will always recommend Daves Auto 4 car and truck repairs. They are the cream of the crop when it comes to Auto Service.
Always good to my work truck, they get me back to work asap
Awesome experience, honest, done very quick and friendly highly recommended 😁
EXCELLENT ... thank you Mr Dave ... I had been told by a Honda dealership in AZ that the 2012 Honda Accord EXL that I purchased in May with just under 37,000 miles & now have a little over 44,000 miles on needed approximately $2,400 worth of work done. I had to come to San Diego (my wife & I grew up in El Cajon) & took it to Daves Auto Service (as that is where my father-in-law takes his vehicles & my son & I have had work done here before on other vehicles). Daves Auto Service looked it over & all I needed was a cabin filter which they replaced for me. I highly recommend Daves Auto Service.
Recently moved to the South Bay area and was looking for a shop to work on my Dodge Ram 3500 diesel. After a Google search, I selected Daves based on the reviews and a gut feeling. I couldnt be happier with the service I received. Treated great from the first phone call, to the time I drove away with a fixed truck. My truck had a very finicky computer issue that was sending out false readings and after a reprogramming session, and a fuel transfer pump replacement, my Ram is running like a champ again. Thanks guys, you earned a repeat customer.
Really good service writers and mechanics. I highly recommend.
I came to Daves because my daughter has been coming for years and speaks very highly of the service she gets. I, also, am very pleased with the attention to detail, willingness to solve a problem, and ability to fix the problem with ease. My part was ordered, appointment made, and fixed the very same day as promised. Sheri G
Top notch service as always! Highly recommend these great mechanics!
Two year ago, Daves Auto Service fixed my brakes car, The job was well done, Dave went the extra mile to verify the new brake performed as the original part did. I recommend Daves Auto Service because the outstanding ethical mechanic skill served in my car.
It is so nice to have a good neighborhood mechanic. Dave & Dart are the best, they work on all our cars, give the best service and at very reasonable prices.
We are long term customers of this facility. The staff is friendly. They become part of an extended family. The most important thing is that they are HONEST. They stand behind their work. As women you can not ask for anything more.
Glad I found this shop!!! I have recommended them to my friends and they seem to like the place and trust them.
Everytime I have something wrong with my car that I cant fix, I call these guys and they are always eager to help. All the guys that work here do repairs by the book and in a very short period of time. I wish every mechanic shop was this genuine.
I would question taking your car right here. Individuals are friendly and anxious to take your money, nevertheless dont count on it being right after repair services.
Never dissapointed by the quality of the work Even if it ends up being a more costly repair the tec seem genuinely wanting to do a proper and cost efficient repair thanks for inspiring confidence.
As always, excellent, start to finish. Honest. Fair. Friendly. Great work--not more than I need, not less than I need. Thanks Dave, Dart, Maria, and team!
Awesome guys here! Friendly staff and great work. I have always trusted these guys.
Super service from JJ. Had the pleasure of his service, very informative, highly recommended. He helped me with my Prius.
Kept appointment and finished quickly. Always honest about what repairs are needed and how quickly they should be done.
Fast, friendly, avoidable. They always get my car working in great condition.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. The service has been efficient and timely. I like doing business with Daves Auto Services.
Great customer service. You can tell that they care about their customers.
Want to Perry Dodge and they had my srt8 jeep for a week and no work and did not contact the warranty company. Took the 2006 jeep to Daves and they had the approval and work completed in two days, the first time. With warranty running out this month, was advised by Jessica to come in for a quick check, they found the gas tank leaking and the cooling fan dying. Great catch, quick service and great worked. Highly recommended.Dave’s has worked at the service on my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.Over the years, they have replace the gas tank thing leaked, fixed the engine pan gasket, replaced the water pump, the radiator and cooling hoses, and repaired the exhaust gas sensors to pass the California smog. Dave’s has been great and covers this repairs for 2 years. Great job
Accommodated me on short notice, and worked quickly. very, very friendly and efficient service.
Dave and his staff are great people, very knowledgeable and listen to any problems and have fixed my vehicles every time.
Excellent service, pricing, and reception. Highly recommend to any BMW owners!

Daves Auto has been taking care of all our family autos for years. We have BMWs Infinitis, classic Mustangs and RVs. Yesterday, my brake light came on, I called them up, they told me to bring it in, I had new brakes by noon. Fantastic service.
