Daves Auto in
Cheney (WA)

Daves Auto repair shop provided outstanding service. My family and I were on the road and experienced failure of the alternator outside of Cheney. We called Daves auto repair, they made the effort to get our vehicle scheduled, repaired and we were back on the road within 3 hours of dropping it off, and the cost was fair and reasonable especially considering we had little alternatives. the service counter was friendly and they took time to give the vehicle a once over to make sure we were road worthy! I highly recommend this repair shop. Thank you Agnar and team!

I had a head gasket replacement on my 2008 Subaru. Totally destroyed my engine. They refused the warranty and refused payment and replacement work. Didn't have enough money for small claims court. So I lost. 4 years later I had the body repair side work on my 2009 honda accord. 8 months later none of my lights work. I highly recommend to run away from Dave's Auto. They r a rip off. And depend and prey on college students. Stay away from this place I beg of you. Don't believe me check out my stats on views. I know this area and have lived in Cheney for 12 years. I will NEVER GO TO DAVES AUTO FOR ANYTHING EVER.

The work itself was good, no issues. However the service and timing was not. I kept calling only to hear it’ll be done that day, or the next day, or the following open business day. A week later and several days after it was supposed to be done they finally fixed my car.

When I needed to have a simple wheel bearing replaced, we took our car here because it was local and I didn't want to drive very far. We scheduled an appointment to have it dropped off a week before and when we dropped it off he said he'd have an estimate in about a day. IT WAS ALMOST A WEEK BEFORE HE EVEN LOOKED AT IT. When we called for the estimate he didn't even have it and said he would call back with it before the end of the day and never did. We went to pick it up to take it to another shop and he finally gave me a list of VERY expensive parts that supposedly needed to be replaced and even said it would have taken another couple weeks or so before they could have even gotten to it! The website said even more complex repairs had an estimated wait time of 120 minutes. It's incredibly misleading. They claim it's " that time of year" but you shouldn't keep booking if you can't get to it or you should at least be honest with your customers about the length of time it will take for repairs. I use my vehicle for work and my family missed out on almost two weeks worth of pay because of this! I have also managed an auto parts store, so I know enough to know when somebody is just trying to rip people off. I took it to another shop and it was fixed within a day for under $400, when he quoted me OVER $2000! THIS REPAIR SHOP IS A SCAM, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!

I brought my Subaru in over a noise that they claimed was the timing belt. They seemed very confident. They “fixed it” and I drove off the lot only for the noise to come back after making it onto a main road. The car broke down and Dave’s auto towed it back to their lot saying they’d “make it right.” They then charged me for the tow, told me that the issue was the water pump, then after having the car towed to another mechanic for a diagnostic, I had them look at it one more time for them to tell me that it was actually the bearings. Dave’s auto didn’t even look at my car. They gave me an attitude about looking at it because they said they would come to the conclusion that it was the bearings even though they didn’t even look at it or listen to it. They literally charged me like $2,800 to fix this car up and I couldn’t even drive the car for 20 minutes. Super scammy, definitely don’t go here unless you know a lot about cars. Definitely don’t take a car that’s made in another country to Dave’s auto either. They can’t handle it. The owner was super rude and defensive about his “40 years of experience.” This was my first car and had lots of life left in it before I brought it to Dave’s. They would tell me that there was something specific wrong with my car and then tell me that they never said that all without even doing a diagnostic. Nothing but gaslighting. They ripped me off when buying the car for scrap too. $300 bucks. They could’ve atleast gave me the money back for the labor because they didn’t touch my car. As far as I’m aware, it was in the same condition as when I dropped it off

As a shop owner myself, I am very pleased with the level of service and the associated cost that Dave's offers. My son goes to EWU and this is our go to place in Cheney!!!

My Nissan sat for three years, whilst I worked out of state during the pandemic. I hauled it into Dave's and they had it up and running in no time at an exceptionally reasonable price. I was more than pleased and will be back with any other auto needs. Highly recommended.

Friendly service, has helped me with all the issue my car has seem to have this past year. Only downside is location, but worth the quick jaunt across the tracks

Called 5 places in Spokane for ball joint replacement. All quoted between $350 to $550. Daves did it for $250 though I told him I had $400 saved to spend for repairs. They could have taken it all and I would have been happy I got a good quick job still cheaper than all the shops I called in Spokane. Worth the drive. Good people. Was in and out quickly with zero problems.

Always super helpful. Got me new tires and an alignment on a college students budget. As well as diagnosed some bad shocks and understood I wanted to try to replace them myself to save some money, even though the quote they gave me was super reasonable for the amount of work they needed fo do. Once got quoted the same amount to replace a timing belt as they quoted to do all 4 shocks!

I have been to them 3 different times for car service. They do a great job assessing the issue, and then communicating on availability of fixing the issue. I have been very happy with their work and will definitely be back again if needed

Dave’s Auto was a godsend! My car was damaged by a deer and all the auto body shops were telling me they couldn’t even look at my car until June (accident end of March) I called Dave’s and they said bring it in, we can work on it between other cars. They got it repaired in little over a week!! So happy, will use them for everything!!

Agnar the owner has been top knotch at care and maintenance of my vehicles over the years. His group of mechanics have taken great care and consideration of my vehicles to the best of their abilities. Job well done and job done well. Thank you.

My daughter is away at college so we were very nervous trying to find a place near her to work on her car and Dave's was awesome! Honest, fast, patient, and kind! Will be using them the rest of the time she is in college!

These guys have now worked on my kid and my husbands vehicles. They are reasonably priced and honest. We will definitely continue to be return customers!!

Was on time for my appointment. Snory took a bunch of pictures of the damage and worked up an estimate while I waited. He was friendly enough. Have yet to have any actual work done yet is why the low stars for now. He's booked solid out till mid Feb 2023 now.

Of all the places shops in the Spokane area, Dave’s is unbeatable. They make sure the work is well done. They were finished with the job in a timely manner. I left their lot feeling great for the price they charged. Compared to other shops and especially the dealer, I was surprised at how low the final cost was.

Great experience here i was expecting the worst for a camshaft sensor issue. Turns out when you change one ut might need re-syncing... daves employees looked into it last minute of the day real quick and re-synced the sensors for alot cheaper than i expected to pay. Also got it backthis afternoon wasnt expecting it until monday or tuesday. They also helped me out and sent an employee to pick me up. Thanks alot! Glad i got her fixed again. Will be back if needed

Dave's Auto was a place recommended by Les Schwab in Cheney. Place was clean. And the service prompt. Reasonable price. So for me an excellent value. Had them do a tune up on a 2009 Honda fit. Son says car drives great. Quick service.. in by 9 out by 2.

Had the nicest tow truck driver! And they fixed my car crazy fast! I only wish they would have called me to tell me what they were doing and give me an estimate before they did anything. My new go-to repair shop in Cheney.

I went to Dave's last week to have my fuel pump replaced. Which seems to be working just fine. BUT this morning I heard a loud grinding noise coming from my front driver side tire. I looked down and saw a tool sticking out from my engine catching on my wheel. I have been driving with the tool in my truck for almost a week now, I'm very lucky it didn't fly out while I was driving on the freeway and hit someone, or catch in my wheel swerving me into on coming traffic. I told them I found the tool, and the mechanic admitted fault. He just told me "mistakes happen and there's nothing he can do, and there's a lot of what have's" he looked under my hood for damage then he walked back into the shop instead of trying to make it right. I hope the best for everyone going to Dave's but I would seriously reconsider.

My Subaru was locked up in park. Daves Auto had our car repaired and ready to drive the same day! Great service, reasonable prices and towing was available right away.

I took my truck in to have my transmission fluid, differential fluid, and rear brakes checked as well as the timing. They had from 8:30 AM until 4 PM and did not call me whatsoever. They went ahead and did the work without consulting me first. They also forgot to relieve tension on the rear brakes, forcing me to go back in so they could fix what should have been done the first time. My truck stayed there from 1PM to 5PM. 4 hours to fix their mess! When I had picked up the truck the first time they said the timing was fine. I just recently had my truck serviced at UGM motors in Spokane, Valley and they told me the timing was WAY off. Thanks for NOT doing your job Dave's! You guys are garbage! I'd give these guys a zero but there's no option for that!

I have nothing but good to say. Daves auro has always provided me with excellent service. I had gone to a well known auto service shop. Had my oil changed. After I had a leak. Took it back and was told that I had to have gaskets replace etc.which many dollars for repair. So I took my car to Daves. Agnar took a look. He showed me exactly what was wrong. He tighted a screw and no more leak!! No charge. Every time I have taken my car to Daves in Cheney if there is a problem. I ask to explain and show me. If he is replacing something. I also ask that that save the part removed. They are a reliable repair shop. And excellent mechanics. I recommend this shop if you are experiencing a problem with your car.

I had the worst experience at Dave's auto. I took in my car because one of my cylinders was misfiring. The person at their shop took advantage of the fact that I was a girl and unaware, he ended up overcharging me for my services. He charged me $80 for one ignition coil which is only $18 on average. $20 for a spark plug which run about $5. Overall just ripped me off completely I ended up paying $275 overall which should have cost me nowhere to that amount and refuse to explain the overcharges. I would never ever recommend this place to anyone ever, the customer service was horrible. Especially if you are a young female student. They will most likely overcharge you.

Had my car painted a month ago. Was done with a short turnaround and great quality. Shop looked very busy while i was there but seemed to get customers in and out very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Terrible, They had my van for over a month. I had to call every day just to get anywhere. They charged me about 800$ for parts I didn't need(had already replaced within that year) I had told them that, and they charged me anyways. Do not do business unless you enjoy paying more than a vehicle is worth and you don't need it for a month.
