David's Automotive Repair Station -

I broke down while in town visiting friends and I also went to David's because of the reviews and no I am not a family member as the other guy has suggested the reviews are from. I also had problems with my brakes. They explained it to me where I understood it (I'm a 23 yr old girl), treated me like I knew what they was talking about and when I had a question they answered it. I also had them talk to my Dad to explain the problems to him, which they was happy to do. I only waited 30 minutes to get the estimate and they said they would take me back to my friends house if they needed to but they was on there way to pick me up. They did a front and rear brake job on my car and turned my rotors. It was done a llittle later than I was told but with my Dad being a machanic I understand when parts don't get there as planned(no control over that). I did have to bring it back after I picked it up but it was taken care of right then and they stopped working on the other car to check out what I was talking about and rode with me. I quess it helps having a Father that is a machanic so I do understand the ins and outs of cars and the automotive field, I'm not some dumb girl as most service places like to assume. So to the other guy I say take your car back if your not satisfied, they have the 3 year/36000 mile warrenty so it will be covered. Pros: friendly, don't treat a woman like she doesn't know anything, experience Cons: not more locations more

Well, I brought my 4Runner there because I read good reviews about this place. I told them that as I braked, the vehicle would shimmy to the left and mostly to the right (but the alignment was fine). We discussed that it could be a brake grabbing on one side or it could be worn suspension components. A while later I get a call that I need several hundred dollars worth of brake parts (and one suspension part) replaced to fix the problem. I authorize it and return to the shop. After they test drove it, the mechanic told me the problem still existed. I told them maybe it was the suspension. No, he said, I need new brake calipers. One is sticking, but they recommend two new ones. I was mad. He said I needed the other things anyway. I pointed out I didn't want to fix things that had nothing to do with the problem. They install new calipers. The total was $600. He took it for a test drive, but did not tell me the original problem wasn't solved, but did say that perhaps it was because I had too much air in the tires (!). I drive off with fingers crossed. Well, the vehicle has the same problem. It was never fixed. Am I supposed to go back there and keep giving them money (that I no longer have) so they can keep experimenting, till they finally get it right?? I don't think so. Consider: They service thousands of people, do you want to trust a handful of reviews? Who wrote them, family members? I'm sure after posting this, they will rebut by saying, why didn't I just return it... like I said, they'll just keep asking for more money and keep rebuilding the truck til they get it right. That's no way to do it. Bill Pros: Very friendly. Cons: Incompetent, or... more

I was driving down the freeway and my car started to make noise, I saw Daves sign and pulled off the road and drove to his shop. I told them to ?just fix whatever was wrong with it? . He gave me a ride down the street to my meeting I was on my way to and when he picked me up, I had a ZERO balance on my bill! Apparently when the air gets low on my mx5 car tires, they make a really scary noise. These are high performance tires, so it?s hard to tell even when they have air, so I was clueless. Dave told me he simply put air in my tire and to come back anytime for repairs on my car ( funny guy) . Amazing customer service, courteous, funny and honest. I will be back when I have a real or non-real repair. They are not only on my mechanic list but my Christmas card list as well. Thank you David?s Auto! Happy Holidays! YOU ROCK! more

They looked at my car, wrote a estimate, and explaned in detail ever step of the repair and answered all of my questions. David told me himself that he would stand behind the work that he did and if I ever had a problem, to call and he would take care of it. I can't belive I did'nt find this place sooner, ""boy would I have saved a lot of money"". Pros: Customer Service Cons: There are not more locations more

This place basically stopped all work to take care of my needs and then gave me a ride to work.\r When the car was done the final price was $100 cheaper than they originally told me. WOW! Pros: Great customer Service more

I went to this place based on the favorable reviews that I read on this website. I had become tired of overpaying for work at the dealerships and was hoping for good service at a reasonable price. First of all, I was quoted less at the dealership for the work to my A/C ($60 to be specific). I was having some work done to my engine also, so I specifically told David not to do the A/C work. When I came back to get my car, he did the work and charged me for it! I was frustrated enough that he promised me that it would be done by 2:00, and it ended up being 4:30 by the time I got it. I'm not convinced at all that I saved any money by taking my car here. In fact, I'm 100% sure that it was a much bigger hassle. Stay away! Pros: nothing Cons: Terrible customer service, poor repair work, sketchy area more

David:\r I want to thank you so very much for being such a blessing to our family by doing all the repairs to our daughter, Ana's jeep. I have told everybody I know of, how awesome you are as a mechanic and friend. You made time for us, and made us feel as if we were your only customers in your shop. Thank you for fixing us up with Dallas Frame & Alignment Shop also. When we left your place of business, my daughter said, ""Where do you know David from and how have you known him?"" My reply of course, was that I had just met you that day!!\r \r I highly recommend David's Automotive Repair Service to anybody. He is very professional and very kind, I know that when you leave his shop you will also feel as I did and know that you have found a great mechanic and made a great friend.\r \r Sincerely,\r \r Albert Leal\r \r more

Had my 03 Honda Accord serviced at David's for brake problems. They inspected all 4 of my rotors/pads for free within 20 minutes of my arrival there. My aftermarket brake discs were warped in the front so he resurfaced those rotors for me and told me my pads had plenty of life left (the dealerships would not perform this service on my aftermarket brakes). They also installed a set of rear brake discs & pads for me, all together for 1/4th the price the dealership wanted to charge me.\r \r David the owner is very easy to work with and took part in the inspection and the work done. He seems very straightforward and honest about the required work. I approved the quote and they began work on my car immediately while i watched them. I was ready to go in less than 1.5 hours. more

This place is awesome. At David's the cost for my car repair was 1/2 half what the franchise dealer told me. Fast,efficient,and HONEST! You have earned a customer for life. Thanks for your fast service also. Pros: FAST and HONEST Cons: I know a couple of people posted no ac in waiting area,but the air was freezing me out the day I was there. more

I am a petite girly girl female and of course I always am a target for those automotive shops that try to rip you off!! I may be little but my brother is a mechanic so I always call him and ask him what I need to get done before I get anything done after an estimate is given to me. Too bad he lives across the country, otherwise he would be my personal mechanic! But I went to firestone off of lovers lane and they tried ripping me off giving me an $800 estimate on all these things that I supposedly had wrong w/ my car and a 4 hour wait. I then was outraged b/c i went to John Eagle Honda the day before and they told me all I needed was $200 rear brakes. So everyone knows that the car dealer is always expensive compared to outside shops, but I went to citysearch and found David's Automotive. He gave me a quote for $129 for brakes & had me done in an hour. The whole time I was waiting, there was no A/C but they did offer to drive me home, but I figured it was only an hour so I mine as well wait! It's such a mom & pop place and the owner is a good man. He just wants to fix your car and make a descent living. Give them a chance. I totally will not go to any other mechanic shop in dallas except this one now!! Pros: fast, honest, good prices!!! Cons: no A/c in waiting room, but has shuttle to take you wherever you want to go more
