Dave's Ultimate Automotive

was in for a state inspection - ended up getting a free oil change too! Pros: quick more

Everyone is really friendly, I could use the internet while I waited or I could have taken a shuttle home. They simply explained to me what they found in my car. My friend recommended this place to me and I recommend Dave's Auto to everyone else!!!! Pros: Convenience, great discounts, friendly service Cons: I didn't run into any more

I was referred to Dave's by a friend when my Mustang broke down. JR called a wrecker service for me and contacted me as soon as they received my car. I had a quote a few hours later and by the end of the following business day my car was ready to go at an excellent price! Unfortunately, I had a DIFFERENT problem the very next morning, leaving me stranded on the highway during morning rush hour. Michelle was already in the office, called a tow truck AND had Andrew (store mgr) pick me up and take me to work. Once the car was done - SAME DAY - JR brought my car to ME at work on the other end of town since I had no way to get to the shop and also to put my mind at ease that there would be no further problems. On the way JR was concerned with possible over heating and took it to the North Austin location to check it out. After he filled my coolant, he picked me up. Michelle and JR even stayed LATE to inspect my car since it was out of date. When it came time to pay, the charge was not only cheap, but cheaper than what they had originally quoted me. They gave me a card for roadside service, should I ever need a tow truck, and a few other unexpected perks! I must say, through all of my concerns, they were very friendly, professional and informative!! I would DEFINITELY recommend these guys and they now have my car service for life - or as long as I am in the Austin area! Pros: Affordable, Friendly, Informative, Shuttle Service... Cons: NONE more

I brought my sister's car in for repairs on a Friday, not knowing how popular this place was. Still, they were able to fit me in without an appointment and had an oil change, inspection, brake fluid flush and transmission fluid flush done in a few hours. They also shuttled me back to my home, since they weren't sure when they would be able to do the work and didn't want me to have to wait at the shop. I told my sister about the excellent service. She plans to go to them for car care from now on-- I certainly will be bringing my own car here in the future. Highly recommended. Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

Quick and friendly service! I have recommended Dave's Ultimate Automotive's services to my friends and family! more

I have a 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited with 243,289 Miles on it...yah that's right baby...243K JDM miles. I've done most of the work on the 4Runner but this time I don't have the proper equipment to work on it. Took my SUV for the 1st time to this shop after reading all the reviews and statement from everyone else so I figured I couldn't go wrong. As I suspected to what was wrong with my 4Runner, Andrew the Manager and his teamed diagnosed the same thing. They fixed what I needed to get fixed and what I wanted to get fixed. Didn't get that pressure in getting other things done unlike some other shops (Stealership) :) Jimmy the driver...thank's for shuttling me back and forth to my crib man. more

Last Week I took my car (which was recently purchased) in to Dave Automotive, I knew my car needed a few things, OIl Change, Tune up etc... They checked over my car and printed out a list of things that it needs and may need in the future, The broke everything down, which was recommended asap and what could wait so I did not have to be out of pocket 1,200 immediately , Which I was really surprised since I have always took my car into Lambs Goodyear and they print out a list and make me feel as if that all needed to be done right away or it was going to break down. I took my car in the morning and just expected to get an oil change real quick and go back for the rest on a later date cause I needed my car, A nice gentleman there I think his name was Jr Let me know that they offer a free shuttle service to my job and that he would pick me up so they can get to my car that day, Which was EXTREMELY NICE, Since Firestone or Goodyear never offered me that.... Pros: Shuttle Service,Customer Service,Warranty Offered, Good Mech Cons: I cant think of any more

Talk about customer service! Dave's service staff were extremely friendly & helpful. I was quoted a better price than my normal dealership and I am extremely satisfied wit the quality of work received on my vehicle. Dave's Ultimate really is a one-stop shop for all your automotive needs! more

I have used Daves Ultimate Automotive (SOCO) for both of our vehicles over the past year and I will follow this company to the ends of earth to make sure I get the Best service in town. The service you receive at Dave's is outstanding and you feel like apart of the family from the minute you walk in. We have been missing this type of service over the years, but Dave's has brought it back. I will recomend Dave's to all and anyone who ask me if I know of a trusted place to get a car worked on. They have never let me down and followed through with all of my request and needs. They go out of their way to help in anyway they can. 5 stars plus 5 more stars to the Best Auto Shop in Town. more

I RECENTLY TOOK MY VETTE TO DAVES FOR SOME REPAIR WORK AND I WAS VERY SATISFIED. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME TO VISIT DAVES AND I WILL DEFINETLY LET THEM WORK ON ALL MY CARS. THE REPAIR WORK WAS DONE IN A TIMELY FASHION AND THEY EVEN WORKED WITH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH WORKED OUT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!) I WOULD RECOMMEND DAVES TO ANYONE THAT IS LOOKING FOR A HIGH QUALITY PROFESSIONAL REPAIR JOB. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! more

So you know that joke where the blonde goes into the Auto shop and says that she needs the 710 part and the mechanics look at her like she's crazy till they have her point to the part and its actually the OIL cap. Yeah....well that's me! =)\r I know absolutely nothing about cars. \r My eyes start to glaze over at the invoices and conversations. At Dave's Automotive they take care of you and explain all the car jargon. They are straight to the point and honest about exactly what you need to make sure your car is up to par. They don't push you if you just want an oil change and that's it. Like other places that I've been to do.\r Michelle, JR, and Andrew are the best. They are very nice and welcoming. Even to the car dummies like myself. \r I definitely recommend them to all if you want fast work, good customer service, and good prices. more

As a mother of two, I just want to thank Dave's for taking such great care of my family. They were able to fix my car when other places couldn't figure out the problem - they also pointed out other things that I was unaware of - the customer service was GREAT and I actually feel better about my car getting me and my children where we need to be safe and sound more

This review started out as a one-star complaint regarding an experience I had at Dave's Ultimate Automotive, and due to EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE and follow up has now changed to a wholehearted five-star compliment. I felt preventative maintenance could have been performed by the mechanic during one of my visits to avoid a costly brake repair that had to be undertaken shortly thereafter. Well let me tell you, without my even making a formal complaint, Dave the owner (who must have read my online negative review) sent me a very thoughtful and lengthy letter of apology that included a full refund for the work that was performed on the second avoidable visit. Now of course, there is no way to prove that the repairs could have been avoided, but Dave had the same feeling about the situation that I did, and took care of me VERY WELL as a result. I cannot emphasize enough just how genuine Dave's commitment to customer service and quality repairs are....The words in his letter could not have more

Came by for a radiator change and it was done quickly and for a reasonable price. Further, as a courtesy to me, they fixed my tire which had a nail in it free of charge. Very honest and thorough mechanics. more

This has been my second experience at Dave's. I come back because I know the quality and level of service that I get cannot be surpassed. Everyone dreads going to a mechanic, but I actually don't mind it. You get a shuttle to work and a ride back. Everyone I've dealt with deserves a gold star! Mainly Michelle, J.R. and Jimmy. My Volvo and my wallet love these guys. Pros: Everything! Cons: None more

I had a great experience from the moment I called Dave?s automotive. They were very knowledgeable and gave me a brief idea of what they thought the problem might be. They recommended coming to the shop for an analysis and a diagnosis of the problem. The staff was courteous and friendly and got to work on the problem right away. The restrooms and waiting area were very neat and clean. I will definitely come back again. Pros: Great Service Cons: none more

So my husband and I were on our way to Dallas last night when my car did no start. We called this place first thing in the morning and they were happy to see us! They gave us a number to a cheap tow truck place. Got here in good time and they saw us extremely promptly. They were very generous and they show you everything they want to work on and what needs to be done. They do not just tell you word of mouth without showing you. They are great and very nice people! Great environment! more

I took my SUV in for an oil change & a State Inspection check & the service was great. Best of all, I did not get nickle & dimed! It's good to know there is still a "honest day's work" ethic at Dave's! Thanks. more

I took my car in for regular maintenance ( oil change ) & got more than I paid for! I was educated on additional services that can keep my car running more efficiently as well as save me $$ on gas mileage. The service I received was very friendly and professional. I received honest advice & service. Thank you Dave's Ultimate!! more

Sent my wife over to get the car fixed after car problems that another shop could diagnose, They treated her fairly and quickly and fixed the problem at a competitive price and we are a now a customer for life! more
