Services
When it comes to safety, brakes form a very critical part of your vehicle. That's why you should always trust the ASE-certified experts at Dave's Auto Clinic whenever you notice a problem with your vehicle's brakes. If your brakes are slipping, making noises, or showing any other signs of wear, we recommend having them checked right away.
Dave's Auto Clinic is a top-rated emissions repair shop. Along with 35 years of experience and know-how, we also utilize modern diagnostic equipment, that can help guarantee that your car will pass the emissions test! After locating the source of the problem, our technicians will provide top-level recommendations and repairs necessary for your vehicle to pass its next emissions test.
Without factory scheduled maintenance, your vehicle is vulnerable to all sorts of costly problems, many of which are avoidable. Routine maintenance may not seem important at the time, but having your vehicle's fluids checked, tires rotated, and belts replaced every so often will prevent problems and keep your vehicle running smoothly.
In Illinois, we see our fair share of highs and lows in terms of weather, which is why it is always a good idea to make sure that your vehicle's heating and cooling systems are in good working order. For all-year heating and A/C needs, Dave's Auto Clinic is the only call you'll ever have to make.

We have regular hours from Monday to Saturday, so don't hesitate to stop by our conveniently located shop in Prospect Heights to learn more about the services we provide.
If you notice that your car doesn't respond to steering as quickly as it used to or that the ride is extra bumpy or stiff, your car probably has steering and suspension problems. Dave's Auto Clinic can help in such a situation. We specialize in all types or repairs and replacements, including shocks and struts, chassis, aliment, tire rotation, and much more.

It's a great place to have your car fixed.
And the good thing about this place is that they work on any make and model.

Dave and his staff do great work. I had a problem with a blower motor. They removed the damaged motor and noticed that a critter may have moved in to the heater box. They removed what they needed to in order to clean out all the debris. They installed the new motor and everything is working great!

Dave has always been there for us; detailing a car for my husband after he lost his job and putting tires and fixing my son's car to get him safely to his journey. We appreciate Dave a lot and he's a great mechanic!

After our mechanic went out of business, we sought a new shop. We came upon Dave's who has provided consistent and courteous service. They charge pretty standard pricing and I will continue to patronize this establishment so long as they keep up their service.

Took my car in for a water leak. Had to bring it back 3 times because it wasn’t repaired. Not only did they still not fix it after the fourth trip, they gouged my dashboard, they messed up my glove box so now it just drops instead of being gentle close. Not to mention when I brought it in for a known water leak, they left it outside in a thunderstorm uncovered so it got even more water in it. Each time I took it in, they had the car for at least 3 days, sometimes up to a week. Worst service I’ve ever had. If you ever have a water leak, take it to Auto Glass plus in Arlington heights.

This is the first time I brought my car to a place that wasn't a dealership and I had no idea what to expect. I was amazed that I was offered a loaner car from an independent mechanic. I had my car towed to Dave's Auto Clinic the same week that coincidentally was the busiest week of the year at my employer. I informed Dave that I would be at work 14 hours a day and even booked a hotel room minutes from my work in order to save time commuting every day. Dave allowed me to keep the loaner car until I had time to return it, 5 days after my car was fixed. I truly appreciate the fact that Dave was willing

Dave has been our loyal mechanic for years. Today went shopping, stop the car shot off the engine pulled the key out and nothing –stuck. After messing around, call Dave’s. Within five minutes his mechanic showed up, looked the car over and pointed out the problem.
I didn’t have the shift lever in PARK!
Asked for the charge….Dave replied NO CHARGE! Is That Service or not.
Dave, Thank You!

I've been a customer for 15 years and I have been consistently satisfied with their work. They are not the most expensive shop, nor are they the cheapest. You get what you pay for however and all of my repairs throughout the years on a number of my cars and my families cars have been absolutely solid.
The owner, Dave, is courteous, conscientious and honest. His work has always been reliable and his advice invaluable.
I could not recommend this shop more highly.
