A recent review: “I heard about Dave’s through a friend of mine who swore by their reliability and honesty. Those two words do not even come close to describing Dave (owner operator who still works there). I consider Dave and Rich personal friends and, seriously, how many mechanics can you ever say that about? Their honesty is refreshing in this day and age and although I have recently moved, I still consider driving the 1300 miles to get my oil changed.”
