What's a great, friendly & honest auto repair shop we have in Petaluma. The shop is clean & John is very friendly, professional & provides excellent service. We took our car to Dave's shop for service thinking that there was something wrong with the front brakes. It turned out there was nothing wrong with the brakes but the tires are cupped instead. John took the time to explain it to us & did not charge us anything for all that diagnosis. I would definitely recommend Dave' auto repair shop to everyone.

Honest repair shop. On time. Recommendations ate given with approximate timelines. My dad use to own an auto shop. This is now my "go to" shop because of their quality work, fair pricing and honesty.

Friendly, reliable. Been going here for years. They still work on the older vehicles. Good prices. Depending on how busy they are and what you need done, you can usually get an appt pretty quick.

Mike is an automotive angel! We popped the front bumper off our car when it caught on a parking spot barrier. He fit us into his schedule and fixed us up in fifteen minutes with the friendliest, most capable service.

Jan 30, 2023Previous reviewI had a scraping noise from front wheels. I figured I needed new brakes. nope, they checked it and determined the car sat for a long time and just needed to be driven. HONEST guys at Dave's Auto Repair. I will always trust them. saved me tons of money.

Have been going to Dave's Auto for quite a few years. We are always very pleased with the excellent work they do, fair prices, and helpful, friendly service. The mechanics are most knowledgeable, always make good recommendations to save unnecessary expense.

We have been coming here for quite a few years now. Still great, friendly service. They don't do the smogs anymore but understand why. They work on our older cars which is hard to find someone who does. Parts are harder to find and the dealerships more and more don't work on the older vehicles.

Aug 3, 2017Previous reviewPeople here are friendly and easy to work with. Went out of their way trying to find a discontinued part for us. Very happy with their service. Had a coupon for a smog with or without a pizza at Old Chicago. Got us in and out and before the appointment time. We had dropped off our truck early.They do smog check for older vehicles. We have a 1995 truck and they were able to do it. Not even the dealer would do the older trucks. Since they are a repair shop, if you don't pass, they can fix it.

Another great experience for me at DAVES!. My Toyota AC stopped....It is hot....Same day apointment! I needed a part which was not available same day...I was on the road and located the part in another town....It was not available till after 5pm when Dave is closed. I called and asked if they were willing to stay late for me (I live 2 hours away). Mike, the AC guy said yes! Thank you Dave, Kristin And MIKE! for my COLD AC.

I took my Jeep in for an induction cleaning and these friendly, professional men did so much more. When I drove out of the shop, my car was humming.
This shop is the only place I'll take my car from now on. They are great! They were timely, communicative snd very reasonably priced.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Dave's went seriously above and beyond with the repair on my 2003 Honda CR-V.
Kody and Mike were extremely kind and communicative throughout the entire process or repairing the front end on my car. When they thought they had the problem solved, another one arose, and they put in the work to find out why it was happening and found a creative solution to the repair. Even with all the hangups they had me back on the road so quickly, and kept me informed the whole way. The did so much extra work troubleshooting and then actually came in under their estimate; plus, now I know exactly what happened with my car and know how to best handle it in the future.
I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. They rock.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
