Had to go in because another business couldn’t do an oil change correctly and spilled oil all over the engine and underneath the truck. Keith and the crew took great care of me, were able to clean everything up, and fix the mistakes another shop made. Amazing customer service and were very straight forward about what was needed to get the job done right. I recommend them to all of my friends for anything their vehicle needs, they definitely made me a lifetime customer.
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.
I went to Dave’s because I had gone there two years ago and was happy with the service. I went again to fix what I thought was a problem but really wasn’t. The people at Dave’s are great–I was impressed that they didn’t charge me just for showing up with my car. And they have this great dog in their office–he’s a sweetheart. I will definitely use their service again!
I seem to always end up spending less money here than I expect! Even when I ask to get something like my radiator fluid replaced because I figured it would be a good thing to do at 100,000 they were the first to tell me that it wasn’t needed to my car. Instead of looking for ways to get more money from me like most car repair places, Dave’s seem to be actively looking for ways to save me money. Definitely keeps me coming back. I get regular texts from them about the time I need to get an oi… Read More
We’ve taken both our cars (Hyundai and Honda) to Dave’s and have been pleased with the results. I wait for a coupon to help with cost, but I don’t think they’re much more expensive than other local shops and I appreciate the ease of scheduling online and dropping off the car early in the morning and picking it up in the afternoon. We will go back whenever we need service again.
I just went to another automotive shop, they looked at my brakes, said “oh you need new brakes and rotors” then quoted me $593 for the service. I came here to Dave’s, they did a more thorough inspection, took things apart and actually looked at what was going on. Told me that my brakes are fine and I’ve got plenty of pad left, nothing to worry about. I’m incredibly glad I came here for a second opinion, and I’ve discovered an automotive shop with integrity who I can rely on in t… Read More
Highly Recommend Dave’s Ultimate for everything. We were able to drop off and get a quote back in the same day and they were able to repair all our things in a timely manner. Great communication and very efficient. Stand behind their work. We will use them for all our cars needs.
I brought my 2007 prius here after seeing the good reviews online both months ago and then again last week. I forgot what issue I was having months ago but the toyota dealer gave me a long list of things I should fix – totaling $1,200 even though the car was driving fine. So I went to Dave’s and asked to give my car the once over. After they gave me their much more modest summary I showed them the paperwork from the dealer. They said that most of what the dealer wanted to do wasn’t really nec… Read More
They were so thorough and honest. My car was done in less time than I thought it would take. And the prices were reasonable. Will definitely be returning for my future automotive repair needs!
I’m so glad I found this repair shop! My check engine light came on and my car died. They repaired it and checked the whole car out, didn’t force any unnecessary repairs on me like some mechanics do. Everyone was helpful and very nice. I highly recommend them 👌
Found Dave’s Ultimate in a Google search and read their Yelp reviews. Made an appointment for an A/C issue. They let me know upfront what just a diagnostic would cost, and they called later with an estimate and explained the issues. They called the claim department of the extended car warranty I have, to see if anything was covered, which $1700 was covered! Dave’s provides their own warranty on the service work they do. They are great communicators, and I’m very happy that I found them.… Read More
I have used Dave’s for years to get my vehicle inspection and a couple other things. Everyone I’ve met there has been so nice and their service is great and fast! I will continue to use them for years to come!
Excellent repair, had to have my vehicle towed to their shop after a catastrophic failure of my wheel bearing/hub assembly left me stranded in a parking lot. Drew the service advisor was great and was able to order all the necessary parts and get all the repairs scheduled very quickly. 100% recommend Dave’s Ultimate for any auto repairs – pricing was fair and the included warranty gave me peace of mind that I won’t need to return for anything related to this work.
These guys literally saved my life because they were so thorough. They found a problem with my brake pedal that has nothing to do with what i brought It in for, and it could have caused me to not be alive anymore if i ‘d driven maybe one more time. They also did an excellent job on the other repairs at a reasonable price. Couldn’t be more grateful.
Highly recommend for your car service and repairs, they use only quality parts and highly skilled mechanics for reasonable prices. I didn’t feel confident about other oil change companies or repair services but I certainly do with Dave’s Ultimate Automotive and am glad I found them. Been using them for over a year and great results!
Did a great job and gave me a ride to work so I would not have to wait. All done in a few hours. Friendly people.
Clean waiting area. Pleasant workers. Timely appt scheduling.
I am a HUGE fan of Dave’s. They always do a great job and this time was no different. Paid $10 for a sticker to save half off of my oil changes for life. Can’t beat that, especially in the tough times we are in now! The guys at the desk are super knowledgeable, quick to answer questions, but best of all, they are kind and funny as all get out. Some real down to Earth people. Thanks Dave’s! Be seeing yall in a few months!
Great first time experience. I took my Grand Cherokee to the dealer at 90k miles. They told me I needed a few flushes done and quoted around $2k. I emailed Dave’s and a Jeep specific shop. I never heard from the Jeep shop. Dave’s responded the next day with a quote for the items I sent them. They scheduled me 3 days later. Turn around time for the work was just over 24 hours (not a small job). Total price was about 70% of the dealer. They were friendly, quick, and knowledgeable. Definitely wo… Read More
The guys did what they said they would. Things turned out like they said they would. No surprises, it was done on time and the price was pretty close to what I was told from the start. Very professional.
I called one day in advance to see what they could do for a water pump that was cracked. They got me in the next morning and has it fixed by noon. There customer service was great. Bret was awesome. I would refer anyone to go to Dave’s Ultimate Automotive. Thank you again. Diana
I have used them multiple times in the past and the world is good. The price was competitive and they provided prompt and accurate updates as the repairs were made. Would use again
My tire pressure slight came on so I pulled into Dave’s to see if anyone would be able to help me. Bradley dropped what he was doing to help me filled them all up and check for nails. He was super helpful and very nice! I’ll definitely be bringing my car here in the future.
Dave’s ultimate automotive is the most honest/fair priced auto shop I have ever had the pleasure of using for my car repair! Jason was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond in helping me! I never write reviews but they were so outstanding and I appreciated they’re services so much so I wanted to take the time to do so! Definitely will use in the future and I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking to go here!! 🙂
I do not normally write reviews but felt compelled to do so in this case-I had work done here about 8 months ago on my suspension. A couple weeks ago, the same noise returned so I called Dave’s and they diagnosed the issue to be the same they had previously repaired and since the work was still under warranty, they did not charge me a penny for the parts/labor!?! Friendly and timely service included! These guys could have easily told me it was something else and charged me, but they were ho… Read More
Beau and the rest of the team and Dave’s Automotive are great. They were very thorough is assessing my vehicle for the issues I brought to them and recommending what issues may occur with my vehicle in the future. Good pricing and great customer service.
Quick, friendly, and reliable service at a fair price. I’ve been taking my vehicles to Dave’s for years and they have never let me down.
This was my second time going to Dave’s and I honestly have recommended them to everyone I know! All of the staff are very professional and accommodating, especially Chris – he was very patient with me and answered all of my questions, and he also took the time to clearly walk through the issues with my vehicle and how they’d need to be fixed. Great service for a great price! I cannot recommend them enough.
Friendly and quick service at a great price. 20% off for new customers. Highly recommend. There is also a cute dog in the office who loves pets.
Great employees here, super positive and thorough. I came in for an oil change and asked if they could check my tire pressure because they seemed flat. The only downside was that it took 3 hours on a weekday, so it was a little longer than expected. But they did a whole check of my car and gave me a quote which I appreciated greatly! Would definitely recommend.
Always a super friendly staff. Great system to itemize each repair needed and the cost for each. They delivered on the timeline they say they will and even follow up after the repair to make sure everything is going well. Will definitely be going back.
They got my car done sooner than expected, were very communicative, and even sent a report after they inspected my car with things that looked good, which services they suggested, and what needed to be urgently fixed. Will definitely go back in the future.
Dave’s Automative is the best. Great customer service and highly skilled master technicians. They will always have my business! They hold true to what there website shows which is rare. Kudos guys.
Great place!! I always bring my cars here when I need a repair. They are honest and educate you on the issue so you understand better. I’ve talked with Michelle often and super helpful! Very friendly staff. Price is good. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend!
Literally the best service I have ever received from an auto shop. They were timely, and explained everything I needed to know and gave me a great price on everything. They have a new loyal customer. Michelle has been amazing… and honestly so patient with me and all of my questions! lol
From the initial call to picking up my car, these guys are A+. I couldn’t be happier with the service, honesty, and value of my repair. I will be bringing my vehicles here for any maintenance from here on out. Highly recommend. Thanks guys!!
Great experience. Started using Dave’s a little over a year ago. They give great advice and I never feel taken advantage of. They keep me very informed on services needed on car, but tell me what I can hold off on too.
Great shop to work with. I like to do my own maint/repairs when possible, but I ran into an issue and needed some help. These guys had a Certified tech on hand and quickly found and resolved the issue. From drop off to parts replaced I had my car back in a few days in working condition. They also provided a digital report of my vehicle’s condition and suggested services. No hassle to get it all done at once either which I appreciated. Thank y’all!
I love this place. I’ve been going here for years. Excellent customer service! I love that I can make an appointment and they are great about sticking to it and getting the work done in a timely manner!
Professional and detailed in explaining work and costs. Will use Dave’s for my older 2002 Volvo. Great work!
Super friendly & professional staff, car maintenance done fast and efficient, proper info was given and no one tries to upsell you services you don’t actually need.Did safety inspection, oil & filter change,tires & overall maintenance check.Thumbs up.
As always, the customer service and complete professionalism that Dave’s supplies is excellent. I will not take my vehicles anywhere else but Dave’s. There are times that they won’t charge for something small. They will not upsell you. I’m telling you, you will be completely taken care of here. Cody and team are phenomenal.
I came in for my 2nd oil change, satisfied once again! Scheduled online the 2nd time, came in 30 minutes early and was still welcomed and assisted. They do a swell job with explaining present and future repairs. Friendly, efficient service!
The staff at Dave’s is awesome. Super friendly and fair. I came in on a few occasions with a list of issues and a budget. They were able to get me back on the road safely without charging me for unnecessary repairs. I would HIGHLY recommend Dave’s for any of your automotive needs. They will forever be my Austin garage.
Bring treats for Wilson (the sweet doggo) if you come. It’s good luck. The workers here are wonderful. They’re helpful, don’t try to sell you on anything and have a great reputation in the community. Brought it here for an oil change and paid less than I would’ve at Jiffy Lube or any of the other chains. They also filled my coolant for free and gave me a first time customer discount. They have great prices and great service. I called and told them I needed my car in an hour and they a… Read More
I love coming to Dave’s. It took years to find someone I can trust to always look out for me and not push repairs or maintenance not needed. They always are on target to keep my vehicle running well and the pricing is good. Thanks!
My car started giving me trouble while I was visiting from out of town so I had it towed from a friend recommendation. I called the next day explained what was happening, since I didn’t have an appointment they told me it could be up to 48 to 72 hrs before it gets looked at, since everywhere else is so busy and had longer wait time I left it with them. They called me back same day and had tons of information related to my issue, and recommended i take it to the dealership. When I was pickin… Read More
Dave’s is the best car repair/maintenance place around! We bring our vehicles here for everything from basic oil changes to more complicated repairs. Michelle and her staff are all kind, they explain things, they apply warranties when available, and generally take good care of vehicles and their owners. It’s so nice to trust your car maintenance folks!!
The best place and the best people! It’s hard finding an automotive place you can trust. Lots of places jump at the opportunity to take advantage of people who aren’t as well-versed in cars. Dave’s actually has saved me money on numerous occasions by being transparent about what my car truly needs. I’m so appreciative of the genuine nature of their employees, the work that they do, and their pricing! I would highly recommend bringing your car here 🙂
Many thanks to Joe, Michelle and the entire team @ Dave’s Ultimate Automotive in Cedar Park for the exceptional service!! The team provided clear details on the brake repair plan and amazingly completed the repairs that same day! Thank you for providing peace of mind during and after our visits to Dave’s!
These are good people. I went to them before suspecting I had a problem – they had several people drive and inspect my car and kept it overnight – and said they couldn’t find anything wrong and refused to take money I was willing to give them to just do something. I vowed allegiance to them at that point. Today my battery died – they replaced it in half an hour without an appointment. I’m so thankful to have found them!
I just happen to come across this company. It’s hidden in a parking lot and I just happen to be passing by and saw it. The staff there is extremely helpful and friendly. Very eager to help you out and get you what you need. I only had a very minor task performed, it was very quick, just as they had said it was. I will definitely be back to see them for more work! I’m very interested to see how else they exceed my expectations! Because they have done just that so far!
My father-in-law recommended Dave’s. We use them to clean up an issue that was caused by another mechanic. Since then we’ve always used Dave’s and we’ve never been disappointed. Being someone who knows enough about cars to be dangerous, it is good to have a shop that I trust.
I have been waiting on, what seems like forever, for my dealership to call me back and get my suv in. I called them on a Thursday, right before they closed. Told me to drop it off the next morning and they would take a look at it- SAME DAY! Jason called me that afternoon with those cost and said they could start the next week. Dealership said it would take about a month…Dave’s said maybe a week or a week and a half…they had it done in 4 days! Quality work done right!!
Dave’s is the best. Super friendly folks. Quickly done services and done right. Don’t see a need to take my car anywhere else. Will be back for them to take care of my car and my wife’s for future needs.
No nice to have a thorough diagnostic of what needed to be done with pictures showing where repairs were needed. Appreciate the rapid turnaround and expertise of your staff. Thanks. Work done right the first time and definitely will recommend to anyone needing quality work on their vehicles.
I had a wheel stud replaced. They gave me a cost estimate and length of time to replace. Both were spot on. Quick and dependable. I believe I have found my new go to shop.
They were able to diagnose and repair my son’s Jeep. Their customer service is exceptional! Chris kept us updated on everything while his car was there. We are happy with our experience and I feel comfortable that our son is safe on the road. We will definitely continue using their services!
I had a hose clogged on the A/C condensation system. It was leaking water in the cabin , on the passenger side. They fixed it on the spot for free. In this day and age , this level of honesty is highly appreciated. I will be back for any other problem.
I just had the 200,000 mile service done on my car (Honda). Dave’s has been doing my maintenance since 120,000 miles. Thanks for keeping my car running! I just started bringing my wife’s Mazda 2 here as well. I’m at 70,000 miles and they did a great job on new brakes and engine serpentine belt. Another update (2017): Awesome service. I went in for a quick brake check since they felt funny after the initial service. The rotors they initially put on were faulty and they replaced them under t… Read More
Super transparent and very communicative. I really appreciated the diagnostic report that they sent with suggested and required repairs. It was very well formatted and easy to read. Also, appreciated how regular they were with communications. They would call me every day around the same time with an update. I didn’t have to worry at all. We did ultimately pay like $600-700 for a fix to the engine cooling power relay, changing air filters, brake fluid, oil change, and general maintenance che… Read More
I’ve been a customer at Dave’s for years. I first chose it because it was close to my house and I wanted to minimize travel distance and time. I have continued to go there because they provide great service. The staff is friendly, helpful, honest, and professional. I count on them to keep records on what’s been done and what procedures are due. And last but not least, their service is affordable. I really like these people!
super friendly, took care of everything. Ran a diagnostic before they told me any kind of price. When they told me the price, it was accurate to what the charged me, it literally didnt change at all. I needed my brake pads replaced in the front and they had it done the next day. They also let me know my back brake pads would need replacing soon, but gave me the option to replace them now or later (I picked later.) I cannot say enough good things about this place, they are definitely my new ho… Read More
Was very pleased with Dave’s! Always kept me updated on the progress of the repairs while in the shop. Beau & Anthony are awesome! Definitely would recommend Dave’s Ultimate Automotive in Pflugerville. Will definitely use them in the future if needed.
In this pandemic, Dave’s has done a good job of following CDC guidelines and making their lobby feel safe. They are always very professional and this time they were able to figure out how I had messed up my car when I replaced the battery. I expected a hefty bill but was pleasantly surprised when it was actually quite low for what they did. I’ll be back the next time my car needs something.
I appreciate Dave’s Automotive. Have brought several vehicles here. I always feel like I get great service and I never feel like I’m getting a shakedown or that they are trying to up sell. Great service!
For the last few years, Dave’s Ultimate Automotive have been servicing our two older Cars doing a great job taking care of all our maintenance needs. The most recent problem with our 1997 Volvo was an Electrical issue which affected the Battery and was difficult to diagnose and resolve. Throughout the whole ordeal, we were treated with great courtesy by Michele, Joe & Cody; and provided the use of a loaner car which was really a necessity. We highly recommend this shop!
I’ve been going for years. They are my go to because they stand good for their work. Anytime I had concerns they made it right especially Michelle. Everytime I tried to find a shade tree mechanic it ended up costing me more because they took shortcuts versus the wish they do as I’ve experienced over time. Especially nice is their thorough inspection and upfront info they give you so you know what to expect when balance cost wise. Did I mention Michelle rocks?!!
Just an update!! letting you know I still use these people and I still highly recommend them no regrets!!. I really enjoy going to these people for service, not every visit is perfect as I do still have to pay lol! The reason I enjoy going to them is because I feel much less worried that I’m going to be taken advantage of, in fact I think they bend over backwards to give great service knowing it will bring me back again and again as I have multiple vehicles. I also feel extremely comfortable … Read More

I would give Dave’s Ultimate Automotive Cedar Park 10 stars if I could. This is what happened: we recently took our 2015 Toyota 4Runner to the local Toyota Cedar Park dealership for scheduled maintenance and they inform us during the service that the skid plate under the vehicle is broken and needs replacement. Fortunately, my wife asked them to place the part in the back instead of them throwing it away. The quoted parts and labor for this repair would have cost us $600. We decided to get a… Read More
I have been going here for years. Very courteous and professional people. On my recent visit for an oil change they even provided me with a comfortable chair under a shade tree. That’s customer service. As a senior citizen I appreciated that extra courtesy.
My Hyrbrid was well beyond warranty. The Dealer was no longer equipped to handle its repairs and maintenance. Dave’s Ultimate Auto was able to repair all of my engine and transmission seals, replaced my clutch and cleaned and serviced all the parts. Even at 240K+miles. My Honda Hybrid is purring like a kitten, has no leaks and running better than ever.
Absolutely the kindest folks you’ll meet at any repair shop/mechanic. You know for a fact you’re not having your leg pulled on prices and they’ll put in the work to get your car back to you ASAP! I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years or so and I have nothing bad to say about them, they even checked up on me after I was hit by another car and my car was totaled, the epitome of southern hospitality.
Friendly staff. Reasonable price. They gave me a second opinion after another shop wanted to do far more work than was needed to inflate the price. Turned out my suspicions were correct. Dave’s completed only the necessary work for about half the cost. I feel treated with fairness and honesty. Overall a good experience.
What can I possibly say about Dave’s Ultimate Automotive? These guys are honest reliable, cost affordable and just generally nice. I’ve been coming here for over 22 years and I will be continuing to come here for as long as I own a car.
Dave’s has been a fantastic experience for a newbie to non-dealership repairs. They were fast, helpful, quick to educate me on what needed to be done (with visual aids) and didn’t even laugh when I had to bring the vehicle back mere weeks later because a second rodent had repeated the damage. Very fair prices and a friendly staff on top of quality work means that I’ll be recommending them and using them in the future.
Walked in on my lunch break around 1 pm when google said this was usually their busiest time & I was in & out in 30 minutes for an inspection! Super quick, didn’t tell me I “needed” additional work done. Super inexpensive, $18!
Always great service. This is an exceptionally busy shop but they stick to their quotes and stand by the work they do. My AC issue was 99% fixed when I left but a relay was out and they had me bring it back in and replaced it, no additional charge. I have been here 2-3 times and I’m very satisfied with the work they do!
Dave’s is a great business, always professional and direct. I’ve been taking my cars here for years! They may not have the lowest prices but they have integrity and that is more important when, as a customer, you have no idea how your car really works. They make it easy, what more is there?
After being quoted an extreme amount to fix my car by a different place I decided to take my car here after reading all the positive reviews and quoted a much reasonable price. Staff was professional, friendly and great service. Especially Anthony and Ryan. They even dropped off and picked me up when I didn’t have any other options.I will definitely be returning for future work up.
After my second time needing urgent help and being nearby Dave’s, it is solidified in my mind they are one of the best shops around. They always spring for quality and thoroughness and the staff consistently carries a great attitude despite my millions of questions. They are busy for a reason so there can be a little wait as with any decent shop in Austin but I highly recommend them for taking end to end care of your car.
Dave’s has aways been good to me. You never want to have to spend the money for the repair, but their repairs for me have always held up well over time. Friendly, honest, up front service. Dave’s Ultimate Automotive.
As a girl you never know if you’re going to get taken advantage of when you go get your car looked at. But the guy behind the counter was sweet, caring, honest and just all around lovely. The experience was fantastic and Im only going here for car stuff for the rest of my life.
Great experience here, people up front and working are very friendly, efficient, and helpful. Got my state inspection done here. They explained any questions I had about the repairs I needed and I was able to get all the work I needed on my car done at once the same day, too. Pricing is reasonable. They were stocked with everything needed for my Volkswagen (oil change, light repairs, etc.), which I think can be hard to come upon. Waiting area has a few tables, wifi, and beverages; I was able … Read More
These guys are always willing to help me even if they are super duper busy! There are hard working, friendly, and efficient. I have been to many automotive places, and this one by far has been the most consistent, responsive, and understanding. What a great group!

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
I’ve taken my 20 year old Toyota here several times now and have always been surprised at how quick they are able to diagnose and the issues and get the truck back to me. The staff here is super friendly and have even offered me temporary solutions to fix problems when parts aren’t available. I appreciate the knowledge and expertise these guys share with me about my truck.
Excellent service as always. Have been a loyal customer for 5+ years. Highly recommend. No price-gouging or unnecessary up-selling. Trustworthy, reliable service. Service:. Replaced fuel pump on F-150.
The easiest, most transparent oil change experience I’ve had since I started driving. Fair pricing, friendly staff, and a very knowledgeable group of guys who took the time to fit me in when I showed up without an appointment. Go visit, you won’t be disappointed.
Round Rock location was recommended by a close friend since I am new to this area. I spoke with Tyler who took a lot of time to discuss my vehicle and possible solutions. I have an appointment to bring my car in on April 7 and will be glad to do a follow up review. We are looking for an honest mechanic shop that we can recommend to our friends and family as well. Pamela
I was very impressed with the outcome of the vehicle repair. The service representative Anthony was professional and courtesy. He kept me updated on all the repairs and cost. I recently moved here to Texas I am a very satisfied customer of Davis Ultimate Automative and will refer family to your automotive repair shop.
Very nice experience. The techs were very perfessional and courteous and also efficient. Thank you very much! I would also like to say that they were very honest about what was wrong with my car in a previous visit.
Five Stars. This is THE BEST service experience I have had in ANY INDUSTRY EVER. 48 year Austinite. Labor price is within market prices. They have never fixed something that I had to bring back. They have vehicles for rental. I was referred to Dave’s from another garage that I had went to for many years. The original car I took to the first garage was a German car only whereas Dave’s now fixes my Toyota.
This shop has been highly dependable, they follow up and won’t offer to do unnecessary work. They’re interested in providing quality, affordable service and building a base of repeat customers. If you get a questionable quote from another shop, call these guys and they’ll get you taken care of. Been coming here for at least 5 years on 5 different vehicles and I’ll continue to come here for the foreseeable future.
Very nice experience. The techs were very perfessional and courteous and also efficient. Thank you very much!
Saturday my alternator belt snap on my truck. Monday I took it in and even though I did not have an appointment, they took my truck in. A bearing had seized in my generator. They replaced belt and generator the same day and I was on my way. I have going there for years and their work and professionalism is nothing but the best.
The service, professionalism and quality of work went far beyond anything I’ve experienced anywhere! I had a really great experience. These guys know how to make you feel comfortable and confident about caring for your car. I felt good, but nervous, going in and left feeling great and confident upon completion of the work to my car. I just got the sense that they take special care in every way and detail in performing work on your car. Dave’s is the only automotive repair place I will ev… Read More
My check engine light turned on in my car, and after some research and reviews, I brought my car to Dave’s. I was certainly not disappointed!!! Friendly, trustworthy service is what I got. Being a single mom, it’s hard to find a mechanic I can trust. I’m so grateful for the crew at Dave’s for taking care of my car, and for being honest and up front with me. You have earned yourself a repeat customer for sure!
They communicated well and use technology that makes it easy on the consumer. I received texts throughout the process updating me and letting me know what they found. I’ll definitely be taking my cars there in the future
They did a great job of fixing my Volvo! My car runs so smoothly and I can see the backup camera output. They are courteous, professional and friendly. Cody kept us up-to-date via text. I was confident they could do the work and they did! It was done right the first time. It’s my new mechanic’s shop! Thanks guys
Michelle and the team staffed at the Cedar Park is awesome! Always organized and gets my vehicle scheduled and done while I walk one block to Bill Miller’s BBQ for breakfast or lunch. The new online scheduler is easy to book an appointment.

I had taken my Jeep to Daves when it threw a check engine light and they made sure to call me and explain that they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. They test drove it and made sure it was good to go before pick up and didn’t charge me for diagnostics because they didn’t find anything wrong. I made sure to take it back for a future oil change and the service and pricing was way better than Jiffy Lube where I normally take it. The guys in the office were really friendly and courteou… Read More
We really appreciate Dave’s Automotive. They have reasonable and fair pricing and, most importantly, they don’t try and upsell you on unnecessary services. It is so amazing to go to a repair shop and know that if they tell you that your vehicle needs something done, you can trust them and know that it is legitimate. They also send you a complete report on your vehicle after servicing for your records. The office and waiting area are always clean and the warm and friendly staff will steer… Read More
My first time here and I had an amazing experience. They’re honest, fair, professional, and they do great work, fast! I highly recommend these guys at Dave’s in Round Rock. Shout out to Jason who answered all my tons of questions
I take both of my cars here for inspections and oil changes. The mechanics are always friendly and professional. They are honest and usually quick. Since the services are appointment based there’s never a long wait. If there is an issue with my car that will cost more than I anticipated they review the issue with me and give me cost estimates for their repair service and other shops/diy. 10/10 I cannot recommend this shop enough.
We are so happy to have Dave’s in the neighborhood! They worked on both of our cars and with each experience, they have been extremely transparent, honest, kind, have excellent communication and are timely. I really like the report that they provide which outlines red/yellow/green needs with photos and they take the time to talk through what the repairs entail, the cost options and planning. They feel like a true partner. It is rare to find a shop like this, we will be loyal customers. Highly… Read More

Great customer service! The entire team was helpful and professional. I appreciate their honesty and expertise.
Mr Bo is a great rep for the company and I’ve been going here for 5 years. Great little shop, sometimes pricey BUT honest, they’ll show you the issue before working and have been consistently reliable. I’d recommend them
Brought my truck in for what I thought was a bad water pump and was expecting a high bill. However, it was just a broken t connector and I was not charged much at all. While there, they told me my back brakes needed repair. They also fixed my brakes at a good price! Very happy with these guys! Highly recommend!!
They did the job in the approximate time stated and actually did the job that needed to be done, but not what I requested, which turned out better for me.
Took my car in to take care of a maintenance light and was happy with my experience. They did a thorough check and provided an easy to read digital report. The waiting area is comfortable: they have a cushioned bench, long desk with multiple chairs, and guest wifi. I don’t look forward to trying out new auto shops as a woman, but I felt comfortable and respected at Dave’s. I’ll definitely be returning.
Thank you for your help! Dave’s stepped up for my son and fixed a previous mechanic’s mistakes – professional, and excellent communication. Work completed in a timely manner as well! (Lesson learned about choosing reputable, capable, professionals online.) Appreciate the understanding when dealing with students/parents (especially with those of us parents who don’t live in Austin) – they will be our go-to, trusted shop while my son is a student in Austin – HIGHLY recommend!
Great second experience. Excellent service. Showed me what additional items might need attention but did not hard sell these other options. I will definitely go back!
I haven’t been there yet, but the guy who took the call was very kind and attentive. I would definitely take my car there. He offered me different options to all my needs and situations.
Many thanks to Dave’s…Consistently pleasant and prompt service. I appreciate their direct no-nonsense communication…Always a pleasure!
The best place and the best people! It’s hard finding an automative place you can trust. Lots of places jump at the opportunity to take advantage of people who aren’t as well-versed in cars. Dave’s actually has saved me money on numerous occasions by being transparent about what my car truly needs. I’m so appreciative of the genuine nature of their employees, the work that they do, and their pricing! I would highly recommend bringing your car here 🙂

They are very nice and professional as well as honest. I can’t remember the gentleman that helped me but he was very kinda and honest. He made sure I understood everything. I will continue to have my car serviced with this company.
My car was dropped off by a tow truck on a Tuesday night after they closed. They called me first thing Wednesday morning to find out what happened. They performed the work (with great communication throughout the process) and my car was done within the day. I’ve never had a bad experience with Dave’s Ultimate Automotive. I’m so glad to have them for all my car repairs and maintenance. They are smart, kind, and fast. I will always take my car to them.
Dave’s Ultimate Auto is the only place I will take my car to be serviced because they provide excellent service at reasonable prices. More importantly, they are honest about the work that needs to be done (so that I don’t have to worry about additional “surprise” expenses after the estimate). Customer service is outstanding! Always friendly smiles and patiently answering my questions (sometimes I have a LOT of questions). The waiting area is clean and comfortable, but a loaner vehicle… Read More
I just happen to come across this company. It’s hidden in a parking lot and I just happen to be passing by and saw it. The staff there is extremely helpful and friendly. Very eager to help you out and get you what you need. I only had a very minor task performed, it was very quick, just as they had said it was. I will definitely be back to see them for now work! I’m very interested to see how else they exceed my expectations! Because they have done just that so far!
The most consistent auto shop I’ve ever seen. Reasonable price. Great service. Friendly crew.
Car got new brakes at a great price. Honest team and the work was done on time. I will come back next time we need car work
These guys are great, I feel they went above and beyond when they helped me. I’m very satisfied with the professionalism they have. To me, these guys did me a favor. I will return in the future for all services when I need for my vehicle. They’ve been around awhile, I know because I’m from the 04 and seen then there for awhile. Should’ve used them long ago. Thank you Dave’s Automotive!!
I got a flat right outside their shop after hours. I used their after hours key drop off and Ted called me first thing in the morning. Really professional and great service. Picked up my car a couple hours after, thanks so much guys!
I’ve been going to Dave’s for years. They are super honest, responsive and willing to try to consider more cost effective alternatives for older cars than simply ordering and installing new parts. I knew I found my mechanic when I took in my car a few years ago after getting a quote from another place, and Dave’s declined to do some of the work because they knew it wasn’t actually needed. I don’t go anywhere else these days. They have my complete trust. Plus they are super nice people. Hope t… Read More
The manager is awesome, always does what he says he will and did a great job at a great price. Go see them, you won’t be sorry!
This place was amazing! I’ve never had a flat tire so I didn’t know how complicated it was to get it fixed. Dave’s made it so easy! Everyone was so friendly, accommodating, and efficient! They didn’t even charge to fix it! HIGHLY recommend!
My first time using Dave’s. Everything went smoothly and I really appreciated the text notification for recommended service/repairs. Staff was friendly and COVID safety protocol was top notch as well. The only reason I’m not giving a full five stars is because this was just a routine maintenance. I reserve that cherished fifth star for when a company goes above and beyond the call of duty. I plan to continue using Dave’s, so maybe the day will come when they have the opportunity to earn the … Read More
Great experience. Started using Dave’s a little over a year ago. They give great advice and I never feel taken advantage of. They keep me very informed on services needed on car, but tell me what I can hold off on too.
Michelle and the team staffed at the Cedar Park is awesome! Always organized and gets my vehicle scheduled and done while I walk one block to Bill Miller’s BBQ for breakfast or lunch. The new online scheduler is easy to book an appointment.
Great people ,great service, great price. Explaining everything you should know about the services one ask for. Cedar park store is awesome. Ask for Michelle.
Dave’s Automotive in Cedar Park gives great customer service (thank you Michelle!) and returned my car on time and within the estimated budget. They do quality work and I enjoy using them for both our cars.
I started going here just over two years ago (upon a friend’s recommendation ) and they are fantastic. Great folks in the front of house (Jason, Kim and Andrew) and great guys in back doing the work. They’ll drive you home if you need to leave your vehicle and they have a great little lounge if you’re staying there for quick service. Great people running a great business.
First time there and the service was wonderful. It was a little pricey but worth it—they did the work while I waited. I will definitely go back.
Great experience. Everyone is very nice. I was able to be in and out within 15 minutes for inspection. Make sure to use the website to schedule in advance.
Been coming here for 2 years and am so glad to have stumbled across this place! Staff are always friendly and accommodating, quotes are fair and service times are reasonable. Only negative is they don’t install customer-supplied parts but that’s probably just a liability issue so it’s no big deal. I highly recommend this place.
Josh, and everyone else at Dave’s on Howard Lane are awesome. No one ever likes taking their car to the shop. But if you do, take it to them. They will be nice. They will be informative. And they may even give you a little discount! Thank you Dave’s for fixing all of our cars.
Excellent service, great expertise, reasonable pricing, though slightly above average to coincide with the expertise and customer service. Their price is more than worth it, they saved me from years of trouble by identifying a recall not assigned to my submodel car by mistake – the dealership themselves didn’t identify this. Favorite shop ever
Very nice staff and talked me through every step of their process. Loved being able to schedule my appointment online and get a confirmation email. Nice waiting area and free shuttle if you need it.
Very nice and honest. They actually alerted me to a bulletin/recall that prevented me from having to pay a fairly large sum of money for a repair. I appreciated that very much.
I just bought a used truck to tow a travel trailer and day after purchase the ac went out. I reached out to the crew at Dave’s for help. They were great. Tommy was courteous, helpful and communicative. My ac was quickly repaired and I was given an overall diagnostic of the truck for future reference. Tommy explained everything and made me feel comfortable with the process. Super nice crew and new customers receive a 20% off coupon. Absolutely recommend this service shop!
Used this garage many a time. I can count on these guys. They are a AAA Preferred Garage. They explain everything and do great work. They just finished a huge repair on my ’06 Sonata and it drives like a dream. Worth every penny. Friendly, genuine, honest, and skillful. I won’t go anywhere else.
Found Dave’s due to a trusted friend’s high recommendation. I found them to be very accommodating, polite, willing to go the extra mile to get you fixed up, communicative, diligent and completed quality work in a fast turnaround for a fair price. I’ve returned for my second visit and am continually impressed with the consistency and quality of customer service and quality work I’ve received. Notably : Tommy (Project Manager) and Andrew (Mechanic). Really great experience. Thanks, Dave’s!
The staff was very courteous. They did the work in a timely fashion. They let me know about things I need to consider, but did not push me to pay for any service that I hadn’t asked for. I will definitely be using them again.
I like this place! I chose it because it was a convenient location and I didn’t see any red flags online. Been going to them for several years now and mostly it’s just routine oil changes for my 2011 Prius. Nice people, thorough job, and I like the detailed report they email when they check everything out.
They are a pretty good multi service establishment. Their customer service is always polite and orderly. They make your feel appreciated and I have yet to see any issues regarding pricing, or availability. Because of that, I now frequent their location for a variety of services without ever feeling like I really need to worry about shopping around beforehand. Try them out sometime.
Friendly & quick service. Nice waiting area with coffee water and tv. Even a little play area to keep my son entertained! Thank you
Dave’s is amazing! Was traveling from Dallas and needed an urgent repair done. I found my way to Dave’s when Christian Brothers Automotive down the street wanted to charge me an insane amount for spark plugs. Everybody at the shop was nice, they were honest, and had me back on the road as quickly as possible for a reasonable cost. I would recommend this shop to anyone in Pflugerville or someone just passing through.
Very friendly and helpful, knowledgeable staff and honest about what work was necessary and what could be taken care of later. Will definitely be coming back.
Great customer service and car service, courteous and quick. My family and I keep coming back to this location. This location/business also hires women to work here, plus they also respect their female customers, which is a plus for me since I’ve had previous bad experiences at other auto places. I highly reccomend this location!
I went here recently because there was something wrong with the front end of my car. I had recently removed some custom wheels as I brought the car back to stock, but I couldn’t seem to figure out what was wrong. They did the balance rotate and alignment as requested, found the issue, corrected it and did it all for (even if I hadn’t gotten a new customer discount which i didn’t even know was coming) very reasonable price. The young lady at the register was very polite and professional and th… Read More
They did a great job on my car, were punctual and efficient. My car is running like brand new now. The people are very nice and friendly too.
Thank you so much for taking care of both of our cars!
Friendly, thorough service. They were able to see me within a couple days vs. a month and a half at the dealer and addressed the immediate concern as well as do a state inspection and oil change. I would definitely recommend this local South Austin business. Thanks!
Honest, helpful, great company with quality work. They gave me very good honest advice, to prioritize some repairs over others and weighing the costs for an older car. Very kind people here that care!
I had my entire AC unit fixed. Great service, fair price. It was done within one day. Andrew was awesome, kept me up to date with everything. I’ve been there twice and will always go back. If you need your car fixed, go here.
In a sea of terrible auto shops, Dave’s shines above the rest. Always friendly and understanding staff who shoot you straight and don’t try to up-sell you. They take the time to understand my financial abilities and the needs I have for my vehicle. So glad to have Dave’s for all my auto needs.
Good people.. On point with every little detail. These are the people to have work on anything you have.
I just wanted to say that I went there to get my inspection done and they were the friendliest and nicest guys. I also wanted to thank those guys who made me a make shift handle for my door. It was greatly appreciated. I may have just gone in for something simple but they took great care of me! I will refer you to my friends! Thank you again!
I was being followed by a guy with road rage. He was riding my bumper and very aggressive. I knew enough to know to look for a public place to stop my car and get rid of him. I turned into the shopping center and saw the Dave’s Ultimate with bay doors open. I thought, “Thank you God” A safe place. I turned in and as I was pulling into the bay someone was already there. I begin telling him and he said, “I know. I have been watching.” The guy continued and started coming towards me. M… Read More
This was the best experience I’ve ever had in a car shop. Genuinely friendly. Fair prices. They even went the extra mile to teach me about when to service my car because I wasn’t sure. I made my appointment online which saved a lot of trouble. I only wish they sent out a confirmation email that included the date and time. I would feel better about knowing that my appointment is set on both sides. A reminder email wouldn’t be a bad thing either.
Went in to get a vehicle inspection, at lunch, without an appointment. Had never been there before. Brett was at the counter, talking with a customer on the phone. He didn’t give me an estimated wait time, which I actually appreciated. I literally had time to get a cup of coffee, turn on my laptop, and joke with Brett about the wifi password, and the inspection was done. It took less than 10 minutes. Insanely fast. And it was at lunch. I’ll be back.
