Critical: Professionalism
The tone of the mans voice and his non interest in my problem will make me never call again. He actually sounded angry that I called initially.

Spoke with Dave over the course of a week about my truck having a few issues. Now I’m not auto savvy so I couldn’t explain the issues to him in I guess the manner he wanted. I have an older truck which had what I thought where starter issues I explained them he said they could be fuel pump issues he needed more specifics I tried to explain the behavior the truck did and he mentioned that the fuel pump issue was gonna take a lot more time and cost $50 mind you I explained this last Thursday to Dave when we set the appointment which he did not even remember my name or anything and almost didn’t

There is no mechanic like Dave. I come down from Portland because his expertise and honesty can’t be beat. He is a realist about which repairs are necessary, he makes my old car run like a dream and he and Marty are incredibly kind to boot. I feel so lucky to access both these awesome mechanics and I send all my friends to Dave’s.

Repaired my fly-wheel, not replaced and did an excellent job for $1000 less. The repair has lasted with no issues for already 60k more miles! I recommend him to everyone and all have been happy. I have only had one issue when one of his mechanics listed too much labor and that was corrected.

I had my car die and took my car promptly to Dave's. I was told he is a man of integrity, kindness, and great wisdom. That was monday. I understood he was busy and said waiting till Wednesday would be fine. He has fixed my car in the past and been such a lifesaver. This time was different. This time he yelled at me in front of my tow truck driver, son, His girlfriend and 1 other man in the lot. When he mentioned battery possibly, I offered to go get one and he tossed my key at me stating that it I wanted to fix it then why was I there. I left triggered and sobbing. I got my carr that night, (single

We were travelling through McMinville and had some car trouble. We quickly Googled service stations in the area and noticed that Dave had a high rating and was nearby. He quickly diagnosed our problem and we were on our way within an hour. Even though he was in the middle of helping other customers, he took the time to help us right away. We were expecting to have to wait for at least a few hours before we could resume our trip so we were pleasantly surprised to get such quick service.

Dave is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. He's incredibly intelligent and fair. That's why he's always so busy. I'll be moving out of state later this year and one of the biggest downsides is that I won't know where to take my car if it needs work. There's simply no place better than Dave's Auto Service. McMinnville is lucky he's been serving us for over 40 years.

I've been bringing my cars to Dave's since 2003. Not only is the service, the turn around time, and the repair work top notch, Dave operates his business with transparency. He's personally shown me every repair he's done on my vehicles and I've learned a lot about how cars work! Also, he's done small machining and soldering work before to help keep costs down for me. Dave's is a great local business and I hope everyone reading this brings their vehicles in to get work done there.
