I brought in my care to Dave’s in October of last year, I informed the tech about a shudder/rattling noise coming from the car. The tech informed me they replicated the noise and found a solution. They charged me $462.41 for spark plugs and told me the issue was resolved. When I picked up the car I drove 5 minutes down the road and the noise re appears. I immediately turned around and spoke with the tech, he got in the car with me and wright as I got the car over 30mph the noise was apparent. The tech told me he would take a look at the car for free and then a day later told me my transmission might need to be changed to resolve the issue. When I voiced how unhappy I was with the service Dave reached out and offered $200 off the service, when I voiced I didn’t trust his techs and would not like to continue doing business with him (also threatened to leave a bad review, he said well I guess I can give you a $200 check, I told him I needed to decide if I weather I was gonna take a huge leap of faith and get the work done or sell the car and take the $200 check he said “okay” after a couple months of getting low offers I decided to take it to my trusted mechanic in Leander. My mechanic told me it was a very simple fix, he charged me $50 for diagnostics and $250 for parts and labor. Low and behold the issue was resolved. So I reached out to Dave in February for the check he offered me, then I reached out again in April from my work phone in case he blocked me, too no surprise he didint respond. I wanted to leave this review then but wanted to give him the Benifit of the doubt and hope he would get back to me, after 6 months no response. I reached out again Wednesday. He said “ Hey Austen, yeah this was 10 months ago. I'll credit you $200 towards any repair. But to sell the car that's in question and want a check afterwards is kind of wild. Let me know if I can help. Thanks.” You can read the rest of our messages from there. I would not recommend any work done by Dave or his tech or trust him to fulfill his satisfaction guarantee. He is not a man of his word and then wants to blame others after he won’t hold up to the agreements he made.
