Dave got our car looked at immediately after hitting a deer :( that was dead in the road. He was able to fix it in a timely fashion with a very fair price.
The only legally operating general repair facility in Magalia ,since the 2018 fire. 30 years operating at the same location. Friendly and knowledgeable always open to explaining the process of the repair in understanding terms . Respectfull and honest is what you get here!
Excellent customer service. I drove in described my problems with my vehicle and they were able to fix my problem on the spot. Without going into detail, I was blown away by the difference between what I was expecting to pay, and what I was actually charged. Which represents to me the characteristics of an honest and compassionate mechanic. Very pleased with their service. I highly recommend them. I know I'll be going to them from now on. Thank you Dave and Joe.??
Writing on behalf of someone else because this community is so small and they want to remain anonymous. Their experience was a long time ago so they don't remember details but generally felt like staff was just trying to get as much money out of them as possible in shady ways, taking too long, doing shoddy work, and so on.
I made the mistake of attempting to trust this place since it's close to my home. Total joke bad vibes bad all the way around they wanted to keep my range rover for a week for a 2hr job. No way if your car is very nice or new don't take it there trust me it's a bad idea this place needs to close down. I feel bad for saying so but poor service poor salesmanship un friendly I am beyond disappointed and may call the business bureau and even drug task force stay away this isn't a shop anymore if it ever was.
We have been going to CD for a couple of years. We never have had an issue. They always call us before they do anything and they will help us out whenever we need it. They are great company to send your car to if it is it not working.
Dave went above and beyond to repair my car on a Saturday after one of the brakes seized up. He was courteous and professional and I was very happy with the result and the cost was fair considering the work. Good luck getting anything that at the dealer!
Dave’s knowledge and experience was recently shown to me when he tackled an extremely difficult electrical issue with my F-150 . His determination and process of elimination is impeccable
We’re new to the area and David was highly recommended to us.
We will Always trust our vehicles with Dave Barrett Automotive!
Dave is a good guy. He takes Auto motive business to a new level. He made sure my vehicle was safe to drive even tho he couldn't do a full inspection. That's what being small town is all about. Thank you , Dave
We just had an oil change, but he seemed knowledgeable and reasonably priced.
He took the time to give us recommendations to keep our car running in top condition.
They have great service wonderful people treat you like a human being and doesn't charge an arm and a leg usually only charges a fair price like any other what does amazing work
Dave Barrett could easily be the last of the mechanics who are working in the trade because they have a passion to fix automobiles. He doesn't get his hands AS dirty as he did 30 years ago but he's on the spot daily, to see that his mechanics get the work done, and done right. His attention to detail, whether it be on the automobile itself or on the work ticket is unparalleled. He treats his customers with respect, and that's something you don't find much anymore. He's honest and upfront.
His employees are clearly knowledgeable as well as friendly.
There's a reason Dave Barrett has been in business for 35 years.
My car was on it's last leg when I got it back it ran as good the day I bought it new all power was back I would like to recommend Dave Barrett to everyone
Dave is THE BEST mechanic I have ever taken my vehicle to. He explained everything clearly, and told me my options! He's friendly, but mostly he's honest. He takes pride in an HONEST job well done! ?? God bless you Dave!
Big Dave and his crew (including Buck his 130 pound black Lab) are great! Nobody likes unexpected repairs but if it happens Dave is honest, reliable, and fairly priced. Highly recommended!
We brought our Isuzu to Dave's after spending over $3000 with multiple other shops to fix an over-heating issue that no one could figure out. Dave's spent about an hour to fully check out our engine problem. Not only did he tell us what he thought it was, he checked with someone else, gave us a quote and time frame for how long it would take. He was right! Even his estimate was within a few dollars of his quote!! We recommend him to everyone because he gives honest, caring, experienced information. Great place!
Had a problem with my car to get there they diagnosed it right away and help me get down the road until I can get it fixed great guys honest good rates I'm a customer for life
