Dave's Auto Service in
Mountlake Terrace (WA)

I've had a good relationship with Dave's Auto for years, and the new ownership is taking that to a new level. Edgar and his team seem to be innovating both the shop capability (new equipment, more volume) and also the customer experience (nicer storefront interior, a new coffee machine, other little touches like that). I just had a big transmission expense for my SUV, and I think they they were very fair in their pricing and business practices. Most importantly, it's actually FIXED and the car is running great!

They are awesome, needed oil change for my Santa Fe 2020 car and helped within 1 hour of dropping my car. Highly recommend visiting this place for maintenance here. Very reasonably priced and quick. Will definitely visit again.

This is the best auto shop around. Competent, honest, friendly, and fair. My vehicle had a water pump fail prematurely due to a faulty part and they were willing to fix it under warranty even though it was past the warranty period. A different auto shop closer to home wanted to charge over $1,000 for the repair, and they didn't even get the diagnosis right after charging a diagnosis fee! Dave's Auto truly cares about it's customers and is one of the few auto shops that can be trusted to get the job done right.

The best auto service in the area. I've known Dave and Vincent for over 20 years and trust them with my vehicles. Mechanics, with integrity, are incredibly valuable and shouldn't be taken for granted. This community is fortunate to have them. Straight shooters.

One of the few honest garages in the world. David and Vincent have worked on every one of my siblings aitomobiles. Cant say enough about those guys. I would never take my car somewhere else. Love Daves Auto. Final score 10/10 Daves deserves a perfect 10 out of 10 for always going the extra mile for their regular customers. Thank you for being a stand up guy and for being a safe and honest place that both my mom and sister can take their autos.

It was my first time to Dave's Auto referred by a coworker. I found Dave so honest who told me what my car needs to get fixed and advised me the other 3 problems are not that worrisome which I was told by the dealer needed to be fixed immediately costing arm and leg. I repeatedly asked if there are any other problems with my vehicle needed to pay attention. Dave constantly told me that there is only one problem. I admired his honesty, envied his sincerity, and appreciated his pure professionalism. He made me feel he is out of this world when he wanted me to save the money that I felt the dealer wanted me to spend in vain. I'm so thankful to my friend who took me to Dave's Auto and glad I got the help I needed. Thank you so much Dave. You're one great and brave man I came to know in this business.

Dave's had excellent service as always. Today, despite being very busy, was able to replace my battery promptly. I have been bringing all our cars to Dave's for at least 15 years and always had good and prompt service.

After my old Dodge Dakota recently threw several engine codes I decided to take it to Dave's after reading all the reviews and I couldn't be happier. You won't find a more honest, better group of guys. I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else.

High quality, honest, knowledgeable mechanics. When AAA tow truck driver recommend and even have their cars worked on here you know it is a highly valued auto mechanic shop. Dave the owner is friendly, communication is amazing. Vincent his lead tech mechanic is so efficient had my car back in no time. Thank you to Daves Auto in mountlake terrace for all your help

Always fair & honest. I have been taking my cars to Dave's for over 15 yrs. Never disappointed in the advice they give or work performed. Highly recommend.

I have been taking my cars to Dave’s for over a decade. Friendly & honest people who do quality work. I trust them to diagnose and repair only things that need to be fixed. Reasonably priced and always upfront about costs. I won’t go anywhere else for auto repair.

I cannot recommend Dave's more. If I could give them 10/10 stars, I would. Dave is a super nice guy and all of his staff are fantastic. Every time I have to take my car in, I know that Dave and his staff will take good care of me and my vehicles. It's like taking your car to a trusted family member. I've had my older car in for a variety of issues and each time they could've told me anything (iykyk), upsold me or overcharged. The vast majority of the time, it's something small and they charge a minimal, affordable fee to fix it. Both of my brake lights went out and I had no idea what we going on - turned out to be my hazard switch went out and caused some electrical disturbances. They could've told me any number of things to get more money out of me, but they didn't. Ended up only costing me $90. Same thing with all the previous times. Dave and his time are all about building trust so when the exhaust decided to split, I knew what he was telling me was the truth, even as expensive as it was going to be. I will trust them with any and every car I own (hopefully Dave never decides to retire... ever lol). A newer car is in my future, so I plan to have Dave's team do a once-over for a minimal fee which will give me peace of mind. I'm so grateful to have found Dave's. I wish every business ran this way!

Dave is a great guy. He will help repair your vehicle and be honest about it along with giving you the best prices around. If you haven’t given Daves Auto a chance you should you won’t regret it. I’ll never go anywhere else with my cars repairs.

Dealership said I needed a big repair. Took to Dave's and it wasn't what Dealership said. Had repair done at Dave's for a very fair price. Will return if I need other repairs. Dave and the rest of the mechanics are honest and up front with you on the repairs. Was in there for another problem, that could of been quite spendy but they found it was just driver error and it only cost me labor time. I feel very confident using Dave's for my car problems.

Ended up here after my clutch died on I5. Given the circumstances, Dave was patient and kind. Had to drop it off on a Sunday evening but he was able to start working on it Wednesday despite how busy the shop looked. Had it ready the next day. Answered all my questions and charged a fair price for the work. He also takes a AAA discount, which helped. Thanks Dave, you do good work!

I came here for a second opinion on my brakes and met the nicest man who helped me with my car. Vincent let me know they were out about 2 weeks for appointments but said he could take a look if I left my vehicle there. They said it was unsafe to drive so I’m glad they checked it out that same day and were able to do the work on it within two days! So thankful to have my vehicle back so I can drive it safely. They also did the job cheaper than Les Schwab had quoted me for. Will return for future work and thank you so much to the team here!

An honest and reasonably priced repair shop. They do great work and won't cheat you unlike many other shops. Update. Was back there again for another repair today. Had another great experience where they were able to get me back up and running at about 1/4 of what I was expecting it to cost! Couldn't be happier with their service. Another Update. Just had yet another great experience getting a different car repaired here. Again I was up and running again and for much less than I was expecting.

I always take my Honda to Dave's. They are friendly, reasonably priced, and reliable. I've never had any problems with them, they've always been super helpful. I've been going to them for all my car issues for years now.

I have been going to Dave’s for a couple years now, my father is the one who recommended them to me, and he has been going here for service and repairs for maybe, 5 or more years. You can’t ask for better when it comes to this team, Dave and Vincent are the two I’ve communicated on a frequent basis at this shop, and both of them go above and beyond when it comes to making sure you’re taken care of. They are quick with their repairs, and care about you in a way you can’t find much these days. It’s hard to find a local shop like this one where you get the quality of service that’s given, and the superior customer service. They are patient and kind with you, and can be straight to the point when appropriate. Hope to continue coming here for years to come.

Folks, I have been taking all 4 of my cars to Dave's Auto for 15 years. They are super honest and great people. They will be straight up with you and not do the work until speaking to you. They have always been true to their word. Hands down, the best auto service around! Sgt. Mike

I've taken my Ford Fusion to Dave's Auto for a few years now. Dave and his team are honest and hard-working and their costs are quite reasonable compared to the local Ford dealer. Dave has always recommended what he thinks needs to be done and nothing more (not upselling services or unnecessary parts). He has also been clear about what he can and can't do; I appreciate the candidness. Thanks Dave and Team!

I just got a new car last month and dave was able to get it in and do a once over to see if there was anything wrong with it. Then he told me that I did a good job on choosing a car since there were no problems with it. Dave's is a great place to take your car if you have any problems, it's affordable too.

Brought my 2011 Ford Escape in for an AC repair and Oil change and transmission fluid change. Dave's was very professional, very kind, and super fast. We had the car back in less than 24 hours. Reasonably priced and very good work. He even vacuumed and cleaned my windows for me. I have definitely found my new go-to mechanic!

I've used Dave's for over 20 years without fail. Dave and Vincent are great guys! This is an honest shop, with fair pricing, and they'll never sell you services your vehicle doesn't need. It's like having an auto shop in the family!

My car's timing belt went out and a mechanic I had used before told me the engine was shot and needed to be replaced. Not wanting to believe him I checked further into it and eventually called Dave's Auto Service. I dealt mostly with Vincent and I have to say the entire experience was smooth, simple, stress-free and they got me back on the road for about $800 dollars. Very honest, efficient, and affordable. I will definitely refer friends and relatives.

After searching for a couple of years for a good auto shop, I found out about Dave's through a neighbor. They are super nice and knowledgeable, probably the nicest people I've worked with since moving to the PNW. They're always willing to try and fit people in, in case of emergency and are super honest and very reasonably priced. Seriously so happy I found these guys- I will never go anywhere else!

We've been happy customers of Dave's since we moved here in 2001. He and his crew are the best! We have four cars in the family -- all over 100,000 miles, so they aren't new, and Dave excells in keeping them running well at a minimum price. He doesn't fix things that don't need to be fixed as with an old car the repairs can go on and on forever. I give Dave and his crew my absolute highest recommendation.
