Being new the area, I asked around to find a shop for an inspection. Dave's was recommended and after reading good reviews made an appointment. The online process was simple and efficient. I chose to drop off my car. later in the day, I received a text that my car was ready. Follow shortly by a second text, saying my call failed inspection. when I arrived to the shop the staff was appeared professional, and were friendly. The car failed for a rear differential insulator and broken stabilizer bar. When I looked at the repair estimate it was almost $1700. I was very surprised, the labor cost roughly $1,300 and $400 in parts. When I questioned about the high labor cost, I was told they would have drop the driveshaft to repair. Knowing a little about car repair, I was skeptical. I said I had a brother-in-law who worked in a shop in New York who repair it, they had no issue with that scenario. For the same repair, the labor cost me $170, the driveshaft didn't need to be dropped. Total cost of the job is $320. When I brought it back for reinspection, it passed. I then showed them the invoice that I paid for the repair and asked for an explanation, suffice to say it was all nonsense. I would not recommend Dave's automotive to anyone. I would say stay away.Services: Steering & suspension replacement

"I recently had the pleasure of using Dave's Automotive for my PA vehicle inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, their service was exceptional.First and foremost, the convenience of their pick and drop-off service made a significant difference. They were incredibly courteous, ensuring that I didn't have to rearrange my schedule or go out of my way to get my vehicle inspected. It was a seamless process, and I greatly appreciated their attention to customer comfort.What truly impressed me, however, was their communication. Dave's Automotive has embraced technology to its fullest, and it shows. The prompt status updates via text messaging kept me informed throughout the inspection process. I never had to wonder about the status of my vehicle or when it would be ready. This level of transparency and efficiency is something I haven't experienced with other automotive service providers.Overall, I highly recommend Dave's Automotive for their professionalism, convenience, and outstanding customer service. They have certainly earned my trust and future business. If you're in need of a PA vehicle inspection, look no further than Dave's Automotive for a stress-free and exceptional experience."Service: Vehicle Inspection

Update: Since my first review we've been back to Dave's twice with 2 different vehicles. Same great results as before. We took advantage of their pick up and drop off service which was amazing. Glad to have a shop we can trust with our kid's cars!Our first experience with Dave's on the suggestion of my mother-in-law. Our kid's vehicle was leaking oil and we were looking for a new garage to take a look at it. Dave's provided a comprehensive run-through of all the issues with the car (beyond the oil leak, they found some other safety-related issues we had no idea about) and an estimate for each service, all done via text message with photos. Brian followed up with a phone call to see if I had any questions. We narrowed it down to the very important issues and authorized the work. It was all done very timely (within 2 days) and for the agreed-upon cost. Maybe not the least expensive shop, but you get what you pay for. They did a great job and we'll definitely be repeat customers.Services: Steering & suspension repair

My first experience at Dave’s was incredible and won’t be my last. I truly appreciated the professionalism of the staff. Michael took care of me from start to finish. This business also has wonderful tools for keeping updated, estimates and selecting services. The shuttle feature is also wonderful. To know that the team will give you a ride, and even drop your car off at home is unlike anything that I’ve ever seen. Thankful!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Since I moved to PA from MN it was hard to find a good reputable repair shop in the area. Dave's Automotive have always been honest with the repair recommendations given to me. At one point the owner took it upon is own to figure out what the problem was with my truck. That took dedication and determination. This made me feel like my vehicles were like their own. They made a customer for life.Services: Transmission

Loved the pickup and drop off car service. Service was prompt. They give recommendations - some of which I already had done that did not show on Carfax. But they aren't pushy about it. I completed my service and paid online-very easy.

What an amazing experience. I can't believe it took me this long to discover Dave's given that I only live a few minutes away. The entire experience was pleasure from start to finish. On the phone, you'll be greeted professionally and will be set up with an appointment quickly. Upon dropoff, you'll be greeted by friendly, professional staff to get you checked in and back on your way. Oh, they include a free shuttle! That's unheard of outside of major dealerships.The process from here is very modern. I received a link in my email to view the tech's inspection report, itemizing everything with indications where something needs to be looked at or replaced. The quote for each item is included, allowing for an approval or decline right on the page. Work begins right after and when complete, an invoice is sent digitally for review and payment. Prices are reasonable and competitive. I had new rotors and pads installed, brake fluid flushed, and an oil change done.Dave's called me after the work was done and offered to drop the car off at my house - wow. Couldn't have asked for an easier and stress-free process. I also found out that they offer free vehicle pickup along with dropoff, so that next time I don't even have to drop the car off myself! I'll be raving about this to anyone who asks, or maybe even those that don't!

This was my first time going to Dave’s after hearing nothing but positive experiences from friends and coworkers and they did not disappoint! They were quick to get my car in and were extremely helpful in diagnosing what was wrong with my car, keeping me updated the entire time and even suggesting further improvements! All around my experience with them was great.Services: General repairs & maintenance

We've been taking our vehicles to Dave's for years. Especially appreciate the texts to keep customers updated, which include photos of the work needed/completed. Can't say enough good things about these guys. Brian and the crew are honest, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and above all, customer oriented. For example, although we are outside of the courtesy shuttle radius, they were happy to bring us home on the two occasions we've needed it. When my wife thought she needed a complete brake job on her CX-9, they told her she just needed new pads (who does that anymore?). Expensive? Slightly. But with service like this, it's worth every penny. We're customers for life!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

While my truck recently failed the safety inspection, I was actually pleased with how thorough they were documenting everything they checked, and while not happy it failed, they were correct to fail it so I can repair it and have it driving correctly again. Note I realized something wasn't quite correct but now I have positive confirmation so I'm appreciative of their attention to detail. I also had them service my transmission while there and it seems they did a very clean and professional job. They even delivered my truck back to my house as I couldn't get there in time to pick it up. Very professional business. Will definitely use again and recommend to others.Services: Vehicle Inspection
