Honest, excellent service, and reasonable prices!
I was traveling to visit family over the holiday and had a brake issue on my prius. I had been experiencing the issue (loud ‘bark’ noise when braking) for several months. My local mechanic told me he knew what the issue was, and it was safe to drive until it displayed a code (check engine light), which could be years. He quoted a price for the fix, and the issue was not a simple (brake actuator).
When I got to Sarasota, the issue got worse, so I stopped by Dave’s on New Year’s Eve. Dave’s diagnosed the issue and quoted a price much lower than my local mechanic. The fix took 2 days, but it was ready before the date quoted, and for less than the estimate provided.
Dave’s knew I was traveling, knew the service was necessary, and had to be done by a Toyota specialist. They could have easily taken advantage of the situation.

Honest mechanic. Felt very comfortable having them fix my cars. A bit out of the way for us, but is worth it. Prices seemed reasonable. Were very blunt about what was highly recommended vs what could be delayed or needed more information. Stayed open a few minutes longer to allow me to come pick up the car which was nice.

I was impressed by the customer service and attention to detail. In town on vacation, I was on a bicycle ride and found myself needing oil on my chain. Dave took the time to wire bush the chain and then lubricated it for me. He didn’t have to go out of his way to help me, but I’m sure glad he did!

“I dropped into Dave’s without an appointment based on their stellar reviews for an ac repair. Jessica was immediately friendly, professional, and attentive. Based on the diagnosis, they definitely could have overcharged me and taken advantage, but Eric went the extra mile and was able to get my ac working and blowing cold again without even having to replace any parts. In a business where honesty and integrity may not always be the priority, I found that to be the priority at Dave’s. Highly recommended.”
“I had been having long term intermittent issues with my Dodge Ram 1500. The battery would randomly discharge entirely. The problem was occurring more and more frequently and the Dodge dealer was stymied. After seeing reviews for Dave’s Auto Repair, I called for an appointment and took my truck to them…… Within a few days the problem was diagnosed and the most cost effective repair was done. “
