I talked with Dave the owner and asked if the van has any problems, he said the brake lines had been replaced, it pulls to the right so must have some rust on the rotors and there is a little body rust.
With this being said I want to respond to Kashica Whitfield, this is the lady who works in Dave's Office I feel it only fair if your going to make a post about something like this you should state the WHOLE thing! Not, just the negative. When you brought your car in you were quoted a price for only a few things you wanted done and before all was said and done we did about three times the original amount of work. So that is why your quote was one price and your bill was another, your husband brought us in a ton more parts and had us work more on the car then had been said to begin with. Your car was NOT in a running state, so the fact the keys were left in the car is not relevant. The reason your car was not stored in the garage at night, we are a small shop with only 2 bays for working on cars. So if you wanted to store the car we could of charged you a storage fee. Instead we placed your car under a camera so it was being recorded 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the almost month the car was here. I am not saying that the keys being left in the car was a good thing at all but I will say this much, the car was towed in and you guys pushed it out of here, so IF someone had tried to steal it they would not have gotten to far. They would of been on camera the whole time as well. You said you paid, like $15,000 for the car, average retail is only $8,000 and that's RETAIL not private party! I myself would never pay HIGH RETAIL on a vehicle, given the fact that it did not run when you bought it, basket case IS not worth HIGH RETAIL I don't care if it was the car my great grandpa bought in high school as his first car or something, I would NEVER spend that kind of money. That was the point Dave was getting at when he told you that the car was not worth that kind of money. Just saying.
Beware of Dave's Auto Repair and Sales. We were looking for an Astro van for our son and located a van 170 miles from our home.
First off Dave is a great guy who tries to help all the customers who come to the shop. He is a all in all great guy, he has been in business for over 30 years.
First I took my car in for a timing cover by the way I have a 1970 oldsmobile cutlass on 22 inch rims, first Dave told me a specific price and when they finish it was twice the price I was quoted. I asked them to keep it in the garage at night (because of the value) but they failed to do so. Not only did they leave my car outside they left the doors unlocked and the keys on the seat (my interior is done up too). Then when I bring this to their attention Dave had the audacity to tell me that my car ain't worth the money I paid for it. NEVER EVER WILL I DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN. THEY WILL STICK YOU ON THE PRICE AND THE MECHANICS ARE NOT ATTENTIVE!!!! THINK TWICE BEFORE CHOOSING DAVE'S GARAGE!!!
My son made the trip and gave Becca the bank check and started to make the drive home when his cell phone rang and Becca told him to be careful with the brakes
I have had a great experience coming here to Dave. He is such a genuine guy and puts the genuity into his business. I am almost there to fully owning my car and I can definitely say that I am walking away happy and don't feel as if I just got ripped off with a piece of junk. I am about to own a great car that I got from Dave's and would recommend anyone to go to him. As well as love Becca that works there. Great customer service and knows what she is talking about. All around great place and honestly it won't be my last time here :)
I took a closer look at this van and took it for a ride. The gear box had leaked all the fluid out and when the brakes are applied the ABS light comes on and it pulls to the right. As I was stepping into the drivers side the floor was all rusted out. I looked at the air cleaner but it did not have a filter. How nice to drive 170 miles with no air cleaner! AC compressor was grinding. I called Dave's and talked with Becca about these and other problems with the van. Becca called back and said Dave will look at the brakes if I want to drive it back 170 miles. Really? Now how safe would that be? I have spent a lot of money on this van and still had to put more money and time working on this van myself to make it safe for my son. I understand there is no warranty and buy as is, but what a joke to tell lies to sell a vehicle. I would never recommend this place to anyone that is interested in buying a vehicle from there. As I said before, buyer BEWARE!!
I came to an agreement with Dave and sent a deposit for this vehicle to Becca. I also sent her an email and asked her to make sure that this van has no problems and it is safe for my son to drive it back 170 miles.
They installed a reman engine in my Jeep. Finished the job in good time and with a fair price. Being an older model it had quite a few other issues. Theyv worked with me on other additional repairs with good quick results. I will return to them again. Great down to earth friendly people. .my friends at work have commented on how quite and smooth it sounds. Im happy to tell them about Daves Garage.
