Dave’s did a full diagnosis on my vehicle very quickly. The check engine light was on and ended up being a coolant & thermostat issue. They were able to get the parts and fixed it in a day! Great, friendly service. Will use again.

Dave’s Ultimate Automotive-South has been very helpful to me. I have several things going on with an older car, and Keith and his team did some diagnostics on it and fully explained what was wrong, and how to fix it. They helped prioritize what should be fixed first, and are working with me on the rest. They have great customer service, very reliable mechanics, and fair prices. Highly recommend

Dave’s Ultimate helped me diagnose a check engine light on my hybrid EV. They gave me plenty of info to go on and an honest assessment of the vehicle. They were able to squeeze me in right before the thanksgiving holiday. Great communication. I’ll be using them in the future.

We have a Dodge pro master van that is tall! We often run into shops that can’t handle it because of that. This one not only said Yes, but did an excellent job and made sure everything was taken care of before we left. We will certainly be back and feel they are fairly priced, and competent, honest and friendly, too.

There’s a reason they’re generally too busy for walk ups-they’re damn good at what they do and incredibly customer service focused. They provide excellent information to the customer and not once have I ever heard them try to pressure or upsell someone. They tell you what the issue is, what your solutions are, and get it done right the first time. Even something as simple as an oil change is best done at Dave’s-they give the vehicle a multi point look over and send you a picture filled analy… Read More

They replaced back struts and cabin air filters. Dave’s at W Howard has consistently performed exceptional service for this and our other car at reasonable prices for now nearly 6 years since moving to Austin. They also look for ways to lower our cost and provide info on preventative maintenance. This job intitially was quoted for $1000, they were able to lower our cost to $875

Sadly, our car needed a new engine. Not terribly surprising. Good news, we found a great mechanic for our new car! (Our regular shop closed down recently…Precision Auto was pretty awesome and will be missed.) The people at Dave’s were amazing…super patient with us while we scrambled to deal with the old car, and I can tell that they are honest. I tried to get them to band-aid the issue with the old car, but even though they could have done some stuff and charged us, they were hones… Read More

Everyone I dealt with at Dave’s was so nice and polite. It was my first time getting service there and I will certainly return. They did what they said they would in a timely manner and kept in touch along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I looked around for a mechanic who would give me an honest price, so quality work, and be willing to work with an installed interlock system. Dave’s automotive did all of that and did it very well. Michelle stayed in regular contact with me regarding the issues and the costs and everything cost what they said it would. They did a lot of work on my poor car and it runs great now. Highly recommend.
