Great feedback from one our great customers!

How can we do better?

Dave’s could not make my next visit any better. My appointment happened on time as scheduled. My brakes were inspected, they found no problems, (I was not sold a bunch of work I did not need) and I was out the door. Minimal charge, professional service, nice waiting room, great experience.

In 2014, when we first stepped into Dave's Garage, we were driven by the day-to-day challenge of keeping everything running smoothly. Fast forward to today, and it's been an incredible journey with amazing people who've become family. Heather Smith and Dylan Helferich are shining examples of our team's dedication and commitment, and we're delighted to gift them a trip of their choice as a token of our appreciation for their ten years with us! From part-time team member to leading the charge as General Manager, Heather's journey is a testament to growth and opportunity. Dylan's evolution from technician to co-owner of our Ga***rd location underscores the potential that thrives here. Their contributions, along with those of every team member, are deeply valued, appreciated and rewarded.

When Jamie is not at work, you may catch him out singing with the band Knee Deep! Customer service will always be his jam, but playing rock star on the weekend looks like fun! Check them out and like Knee Deep on FB!

We are very proud to sponsor North Sky Raptor Sanctuary!

The auction is TONIGHT! (5:30pm-7:30pm at Silver Spruce Brewing on 8th street)

And as anyone who has run an auction can speak to, it takes a fair amount of supplies, manpower, and coordination to put on a show like this!

Because of this, we wish to express our deep gratitude to the sponsors who have helped support the costs associated with this year's event. We can't wait to see you!

We have upgraded two of our loaner cars and no longer need this wonderful, reliable Lexus. Would make a great student driver!! Has some wear and tear in a few spots but drives great! AC works, heated seats, good tires. A lot of miles because they last. 240,000 miles. $3800 obo
