This is a great family owned business. I have my boat serviced here and would not think of going anywhere else. Through the process of having the boat worked on, I moved our vehicles there and it has been the best. Fair price for good service...exactly what I want.

Beware. This guy will tell you "it will be done tomorrow" whether it be an estimate or fixing your vehicle, but neither were done in that time frame. In fact, he had our vehicle almost 2 weeks telling us he was "backed up" then following with "I'll have it done tomorrow". He quoted us eight Benny's to thirteen Benny's, then charged us almost two Benjamins over that quote. When I called to ask why it was over the quote, the rude receptionist said there was no quote on file, and when I spoke with Dave he said he was sorry we were quoted that, as if he wasn't the one that gave the quote, but he was!
He also told me over the phone that the reason that he quotes under is so people won't go to shop around elsewhere. Bad, dishonest practice!
I highly suggest you skip this place. They seem more into ripping you off and very much less into customer service.
You've been warned.
Update: he did knock it down to the $1400.00 after I stated I refused to pay over and would be contacting the BBB. I still plan on contacting the BBB online tomorrow when I'm not on my smart phone, because the site has a glitch when I try it on my device.

So happy Les Schwab referred us here. We were on our maiden voyage towing our trailer so a little nerve racking out of the driveway. Second day our break assist malfunctioned but thanks to Kelly and the other kind staff they trouble shot the system until they figuered it out. Repaired it, no replacement, yah, and got us safely on our way before we headed up the mountains. BIG Thanks, not cheap fix, but feel so much safer and secure.

I have known the power family for years and many of its employees. I have been in the army for over 5 years now and every time I went overseas overseas the only people I'd trust to work on my car are these guys. They do excellent work with a true passion to put out a standard that really puts a smile on your face. I had them install my sound system that I am complimented on every time someone hears it. They also did my exhaust system, cold air intake and performance chip for my 2008 Mazda 6 making it an extremely quick car for not being air non turbo. They did not specialize in my car but they put in the homework to make sure they did it right. Worth every dollar for this family owned and ran business.

Me and my family have been going to Dave Power for years now. They have done everything from oil changes to building my STI from the ground up turning it into a street legal race car. All of the work they have done had been the best quality that I know of coming from a family owned shop. Everyone there is extremely friendly and they have become like family to me and my family. I'll always come to Dave power for any automotive needs.

Totally unsatisfied with the service here. We were quoted from the get-go $800-$1300 to fix my husband's truck. He said he'd have an estimate by the next day. It took 3 days to get even an estimate. Once he had one of his guys finally get in there and start working on it the quote turned into $1300-1400. He said it would only take a couple of days but our truck was in their hands for closer to two weeks, with them saying "it will be done tomorrow" each day. [edit]When we firs... See More

I really think you guys are aces. We bring in a car that is completely unrecoverable and you really treated us like we brought in a Lincoln Continental. You didn't have to arrange the tow, but you did. You probably didn't charge us for everything you did either. This is why we keep coming back. Dave has hired quality master mechanics and I'm so pleased his sons are being groomed to take the place over. They all do amazing mechanic work as well as customer service.
