What we fix

Every car is different, so prices are by estimate. Call and ask.

  1. Check engine light

    Real diagnostics to find the actual problem, including ones other shops missed.

  2. Brakes

    Pads, brake service, and that squeal you’ve been ignoring.

  3. Tune-ups & oil changes

    Regular maintenance that keeps older cars running right.

  4. A/C repair

    Cold air back before the next heat wave.

  5. Engine work

    From leaks and seals up to a full engine swap.

  6. Axles & suspension

    CV axles, steering, and suspension.

  7. Quick fixes

    Headlights, key fobs, clock springs, bumpers. Sometimes within the hour.

Same shop.
Same number.

Dave’s has been keeping East Bay cars on the road for a long time. The shop used to be on Telegraph Ave. Now it’s on San Pablo, with the same phone number on the sign.

Today Prem runs the place, and people say the same things about it they said twenty years ago.

“I would tell anyone to go to Dave’s and I plan on spreading the word.”Kathy, Oakland
