My car is my baby and I love taking it to a place where the people all know what's going on and what they're all talking about. Dave's is such a place. Everyone here is super frea...

Worst

As mechanics these guys might be OK, but really watch out for their pricing. For me they charged 100$ (2hrs) for an initial diagnosis. That would be OK if I had not told them exac...

Go to no other auto shop! These guys are awesome 8/7/2008

Once again, the staff at Daves Ultimate Automotive, has impressed me with their customer service. Andrew and Michelle remembered me and treated me like an old friend. They diagnosed my problem, gave me an estimate, and even showed me where to get a coupon online to make things a little easier on my pocket book. These people are awesome!! If you live in south Austin and are in need of auto repair, give Dave's Ultimate Automotive a call, you won't regret it. Pros: Completely awesome from start to finnish Cons: none more

Went beyond what was needed 8/5/2008

Dave's provided me excellent service. They spoke through my car problems with me and made sure I understood exactly what was needed and what would wait. All of the employees have been very friendly and they even suggested on their own that they would provide me with a rental if repairs took more than the same day. I'm probably like most when I say I'm weary of auto repair places in general, but I trust Dave's. more

Best Auto Service in Town! 8/5/2008

I have always had the absolute best service at Dave's. Michelle and Andrew are always so friendly and helpful. I feel that I can totally trust them and that they are not trying to cheat me. The location is so convenient because it is located right on my way to work. Their shuttle service is also very convenient. I know that if I ever need a car repair, I can just pick up the phone and call Michelle or Andrew and they will take care of me as if I were family. more

Dynamic Service! 8/4/2008

I am somewhat new to Austin. I took my car to a dealer and was dissatisfied w/ the information I recieved about my car. I stumbled upon Daves and they took me dynamicly through every step of my service. I believe they went above and beyond w/ customer service and would reccomend them to anyone. I felt no pressure for alternate repairs and felt every option was was explored and explained. If you need honest repairs by knowledgeable and consciencious people, this is the place to go! Thx M more

Wouldn't go anywhere else! 8/4/2008

Wow! What awesome service. I have never been disappointed with any service done on my 2001 F150. The service has kept her running for 160k + miles. I hand out business cards and recommend my family, co-workers and anyone else to Dave's for any service need. My niece brought in her car and received every bit of the service that I told her she would get. I have never dealt with an automotive shop that is more honest and willing to talk you through what's going on with your vehicle. They are not pushy and don't force unneeded service. As long as there is Dave's Ultimate Automotive, I am a customer. Pros: Friendly, fast and honest more

Great service, honest and reliable. 8/4/2008

I've taken my 2001 VW in for repairs and oil changes. I've been more than pleased every time. I actually have a good feeling about getting my car repaired there. My friend recommended them to me and I will do the same to my friends and family. more

Austin Auto Care 8/2/2008

Thank You Dave's Ultimate Automotive! So here I was, new in Austin, and I needed some basic work done on my car. I'd heard that a few simple maintenance services could improve my gas mileage and I was all for getting it done as soon as possible! Now for the real dilemma, where to go? \r \r I had been to the dealer, but they were very expensive and a little rude, almost like they didn't have time for me. I thought to myself, "well if I'm not important to them, they sure aren't getting my hard earned money", especially in these tough economic times.I briefly considered not doing the work at all since I had no idea who I could trust to do it properly. \r \r But then, I was reminded that my car was my second biggest investment, next to my house. If I don't take care of it, I would basically be throwing a whole lot of money out the window, and I don't know anybody who can afford to do that these days!I asked around at work and a few people said that they took their cars to Dave's Ultimate Autom more

Exceptional Service & Quality 7/21/2008

I recently went to Dave?s north location because I was in the area and needed some repairs right away. They got me right in and I was impressed by how quick they were, along with their professionalism and honesty. Same thing happened again just recently so I took my car to their south location since I live closer and once again, these guys exceeded my expectations. I?ve had some repairs done by the dealership but have gotten fed up over how much they charge so I delayed getting a pretty major belt replaced until I could find the right place. I?m soo glad I found Dave?s Ultimate Automotive.. they charged much less than the dealership would have and now that I am certain that both shops do an exceptional job, it gives me peace of mind knowing that if I have problems again, I?ll be able to take it to either location! Thank you Dave?s Ultimate Automotive!! Pros: convenience, cost, customer service, overall relief Cons: NONE more

Great Service Great Prices 7/16/2008

A friend of mine recommended Dave's on South Lamar as a good place to have auto work done. Ironically, the next day my Trailblazer started making a clicking sound when I turned it on. I called Dave's and they said they could take me right away. I went ahead and made an appointment for the next morning and took it in. The staff was friendly and honest, and even though I'm a guy that knows NOTHING about cars, they were open and not condescending as some mechanics can be. more

Very friendly and professional service! 7/8/2008

Highly recommended. I only came in for an inspection, but was so pleased with the place that I already made my next appointment for some more extensive work on the car. Everything was explained in a way even I could understand. If you need a reputable, professional and friendly service in South Austin, this is the place. Thanks guys! Pros: Friendly, good location, seems fairly priced. Cons: None. more

Great Staff 5/23/2008

We went in to patch a tire and witnessed the rudest customer possible. The customer was completely out of line and the staff treated the situation with such tact and professionalism I was shocked. The staff was so friendly right when we walked in until we left and answered any and all questions we had. I really didn't feel like I do when I go to other automotive shops because of the excellent staff. They apologized again and again about the customer which, by no means, was their fault. We would have gladly paid the nominal price to patch the tire but they kindly waived the fee. We scheduled an oil change for the future. Definitely going back!!! Great staff, and they're local.......beats any national corporation!! By the way, they have a computer to use while you wait. Pros: The professional friendly staff and the computer in the waiting room. Cons: None more

My Favorite Mechanic Shop! 4/26/2008

I have known Dave for years and have watched him grow his business with a very simple business philosiphy. He seems to really care for his customers not just thier cars. I have used him for over 15 years and I send my friends, employees and family to him all the time! I just have a tremendous amount of trust and confidence with all of his employees and certified mechanics that anyone could hope for in an auto repair shop. The best part about it in my opinion is that the place is ALWAYS CLEAN over there! As a very busy small business owner here in Austin, I like the email reminders that I get from Dave's to tell me to just "go change my oil" or "rotate my tires". Time just gets away from me and they keep me on track for the best possible life for MY car. I really appreciate service like that since cars aren't cheap anymore and you really have to keep up with the maintenance for them to last a long time! more
