Mike Morgan and Jessica Caycedo

In 2019, Mike and Jessica stepped into the legacy of Dave’s Auto Repair, a name that had been trusted by the Sarasota community for over 40 years. Originally founded by Dave himself, the shop had earned its reputation through decades of honest, quality repairs and genuine care for its customers. When the opportunity came for Mike and Jessica to continue that legacy, they knew it was more than just a business—it was a responsibility to uphold a tradition of excellence.

Jessica brought with her over 20 years of automotive service experience, having worked with high-end brands like Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. Her deep technical knowledge and attention to detail have set a high bar in the shop, ensuring every vehicle is diagnosed and repaired with precision. Mike, sharing Jessica’s passion for transparency and customer care, focuses on creating a shop environment where trust and integrity come first. Together, they make a powerful team—dedicated not just to fixing cars, but to building long-lasting relationships with their customers.

At Dave’s Auto Repair, the goal is simple: provide top-tier repairs at affordable prices. Mike and Jessica believe that car maintenance shouldn’t break the bank, and they work hard to keep costs fair without compromising quality. Their team follows the highest standards, giving customers clear, honest assessments so they always know what their vehicle needs and why.

“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. “
