Dave's Automotive Repair, LLC, St. Petersburg FL

This shop is awesome! The prices are good, the repair work is second to none, and the best is he is honest you get work done that actually the needs to be done.

Shout out to Dave's Auto Repair! If you need an HONEST mechanic who won't charge you an arm and a leg, please go see David. Here was my experience:

I heard a sound coming from my front wheels and assumed it was the brakes wearing out, so I went to Dave's on a referral. He checked everything over and said the brakes had enough material but the wheel bearings are going bad (my car is a 2005 so I had no reason to doubt this). They gave me a very reasonable quote so I agreed to the repair and my car was ready bright and early the very next day.

I arrived to pick up my car and come to find out he had done both the wheel bearings AND went ahead and changed the brake pads for me since he already had everything apart and DIDN'T CHARGE ME A DIME extra!

Not only that, but they gave me a 2 YEAR warranty AND FREE roadside assistance!

I cannot say enough good about these folks and they DESERVE your business! PLUS as a veteran myself I am proud to support this veteran-owned business. I myself 1000% will not be going anywhere else ever again. ️

If you go because you saw my post, please let them know Erica Kearney sent you. I don't get anything for it, but I promised them I'd share my experience, so I'd like them to know I kept my promise Thanks!

I highly recommend this place. I was informed by other mechanic that my Honda power steering pump was leaking and it needed to be replaced. I took my car to Dave and I was informed that the pump had no problems. I had the opportunity to see it myself. In the other place they were going to charge me $1500.00. So no need to change the pump at this time. Very honest people. We need to support small business owners. Honest people and good prices.

Great mechanic. Nice secretary. Reasonable prices. I've taken all my vehicles there and now my daughter takes hers. Highly recommend!

Check engine light this morning. Dave's set up the tow & fee was less than if I had to do it myself. Communication is tops-I trust these folks & have been there several times over past few years for different reasons.
Honest eval of what the concern is, very fair pricing.
Smiles greet you when you walk in.

My mom was in town visiting and she knew something was wrong with my car. So, she did some research and came across this shop. She told me they have great reviews and seem to be honest. So, we scheduled our appointment to get my car looked at.
Indeed, there were a couple issues with my car. One of those issues was with my brake master cylinder. Got it replaced after my car was diagnosed the next day. Long story short my car feels much better than it did before! I no longer have to slam on my brakes to get my car to stop. I am so grateful for Dave and his wife for their honesty and transparency. They have been so kind. And I love the perks they offer. Free towing service to their shop up to 2 times and they offer a warranty. If you don’t like the service you can bring it back. I am very pleased with your services. Thank you so much Dave!

Dave's automotive is the most Customer service friendly automotive repair shop I have ever experienced in Florida. Thanks for the amazing service you provided.

I do most of the maintenance and repair work on my vehicles (biz and personal) but when I don't have the time or get too complex of a job, I take it to Dave. He's honest, he's reasonable, and he's an excellent mechanic. I trust him. Nothing but positive experiences with Dave.

Very professional and on time work couldn't be more pleased, also extremely nice people.

My family has used Dave and Jen for over 7 years. From engine swaps to tires, oil changes whatever it is. They're the most reliable and honest people out there. I have sent my mom, friends and boss to Dave. Rest assure that you are in great hands at Dave's.

I have had a couple different cars since they’ve been in business. They are honest, patient with me, extremely reasonably priced, friendly, efficient, and highly skilled! They have resolved every little and big issue I’ve brought to them for years. I’ve recommended them to others, who have been grateful for them as well. These are truly good people that care about their customers, their reputation, and your car. I wouldn’t take any of my cars anywhere else!

Extremely impressed with this place. As everyone knows it's hard to find an honest caring mechanic. Without a doubt Dave's Automotive is the place to go. They do not pressure you to buy unnecessary things and are transparent from start to finish. Dave's wife Jenn runs the front of the house and is 1 of the most welcoming people ive ever dealt with. Needless to say, ive found my permanent mechanic and will come here for anything automotive related. Keep up the great work!

Dave & Jennifer were amazing, will be taking all repairs to them. Honest, fair and hospitable Blessings

I am so grateful for Dave and Jen. I only trust them to work on my car. I drive an 08 Honda and feel confident having Dave take care of it when needed.

If you want honest answers to your car needs. This is the place.

They were very personable they did exactly what the said they were gonna do they stayed late to make sure I had my car for the weekend as promised very happy I would definitely refer them

Knowledgeable, fairly priced, humble business. Hard to come by these days. Highly recommend!

I have had a friend go to this place and tell me the owner/ mechanic is rude and not efficient. He took their car there and instead of explaining himself told my buddy he’s an idiot for having someone he thought he trusted work on his car. I heard his wife Jen was a sweetheart but he is rude and unprofessional

Last summer my family and I went on Vacation and our Tahoe experienced some major issues while down there and Dave and his wife helped us out a lot and made us feel at home in the office while we waited on our vehicle to be repaired and even cut us a deal. They also stayed later to help us out and gave us a ride. We made it home safe and sound Would highly recommend them and if we experience anymore issues next time will go back to them!

Dave is super knowledgeable and very thorough in his work. His wife is a high school friend and I drive all the way to their shop from Wesley Chapel because I know he will be real with me versus going to the dealership and being sold unnecessary services just to inflate their paycheck. Highly recommend Dave and Jennifer.they saved me over $1,000 in unnecessary services!

Very honest people. I took my car in to repair my AC, a job estimated to be about $800+. Turned out it was only a minor problem and I ended up paying $140. Now my AC works just fine and I didn’t break the bank to get it fixed. Thanks. I would definitely come back and also recommend this place to family and friends!
