auto repair in Auburn, wa

I drove by Dave’s Valley Automotive for a few years before I decided to take my BMW there for maintenance oil change and then they replaced the front brakes. They are great! Very nice and easy to understand the exact price and what they are doing. I dropped my car off in the morning and one of the employees gave me a ride to work and then came and picked me up after work to pick up my car. Brandon and Blaze are my points of contact and they are very nice and respectful. Would highly recommend this business!

My 2006 Honda Accord has always been very well taken care of, so when my A/C compressor suddenly started smoking last Thursday, I called Dave’s right away. They told me to bring it in the same day. When I arrived, I was greeted by Saul, who was very kind and welcoming. After I dropped my car off, a mechanic named Mayo (I believe that was his name) was nice enough to drive me home, which I really appreciated. The inspection was very thorough, and I especially liked that the technicians included photos with their findings. It made it much easier to understand exactly what was going on with my car and why the repairs were needed. After replacing the A/C compressor, the technicians discovered another issue with the A/C system that wasn’t apparent until the new compressor was installed. Saul called me right away to explain what they found, walked me through the test results, and let me know what needed to be done next before moving forward. I really appreciated how transparent they were and that they kept me informed throughout the repair process. One thing to note is that they are closed on weekends, which wasn’t an issue for me but is good to know. Also, there is a small fee if you pay with a credit card. I was able to pick my car up the following Monday, and Saul even picked me up, which was another thoughtful gesture that I really appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience from start to finish. The staff was friendly, the communication was excellent, and I felt like they genuinely cared about taking care of both me and my car. I would definitely recommend Dave’s to anyone in Auburn or the surrounding areas!

Most professional place I’ve ever been to. There is one particular guy in the front office that is SO professional no matter how arrogant people are. Get tour vehicle to them, let them charge what they charge; it is well worth it for them to have tabs on all of the parts of your vehicle. This is a place that does tires, electrical (I believe), mechanical, and I wouldnt be surprised if they had a car wash (I know they dont!). This is not a jiffy lube, or a Pep Boys… this is a real deal one atop shop. Go now! Thank you.

I typically work on my own cars(back yard mechanic) as much as possible, I needed some ac refrigerant that I was having a hard time getting after I replaced my condenser coil. They had Great customer service easy in and out explained what I wanted, they Did exactly that let me know of a few other things on my car, didn’t feel pressured to buy anything. I know my limits when it comes to working in my own cars and Daves is always my go to and has never let me down. will recommend to everyone I know.

Dave’s Valley Auto was friendly, thorough, and concise with everything my old Dodge truck needed immediately and what could be held off for a little more time. Refreshing and much appreciated. They took the time to explain the ‘why’ behind their findings. I will definitely be using them again.

after being over charged and jerked around by a local dealership – i decided to find an independent shop instead — so glad i did. While this will probably not be the cheapest — you definitely get what you pay for. Customer service here is top notch. I needed my turbo replaced in my 2016 Ford Escape Titanium – i dropped it off on Monday, they had me a full diagnosis & estimate WITH PICTURES by lunch on Tuesday. I gave them the go ahead, they ordered the turbo to be sent up next day from Portland, and my car was finished by Friday afternoon. They were always friendly and extremely professional and even gave me a loaner at absolutely no charge. Blaze, Brandon, and Saul all handled my questions and concerns like the pros they are. I will definitely be back for future repairs.

I went to Dave’s for a Pre Purchase Inspection. Brandon spent a good amount of time explaining everything he saw during his test drive and inspection. Saul coordinated my concerns to his team and talked with me about them during the inspection. I think they did a great job. I bought the car given their thumbs up on the purchase. Thanks guys!

Dave’s is a knowledgable, honest, fair priced repair shop. That might be the highest compliment possible for auto repairs. I have had them do work from oil changes to an engine replacement and they are timely and keep to their estimate… but best of all, they’re just nice people!

Dave’s is the best! I came in today with a sunroof leak on my 23 Buick Envision. They fixed it super fast and literally made my day. There is still good people out there!!!! I write this thru tears of gratitude 🙏 🥹 THANKS TO ALL THE GUYS AT DAVES!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS Y’ALL!!! From: that crazy postal chick ❤️

The shop here was my last hope on my road trip. Very friendly, reliable and great service at fair prices. It went very fast and was excellently executed. Maybe a bit expensive, but the customer service is great and you have a guarantee on the replaced parts (at least that was the case for me) Edit: I was at another workshop that wanted almost four times the money for the same repair, so the prices here are really more than fair

Love working with Dave’s. They will share an electronic inspection report with observations and photos + a separate online document that provides line-item quotes and the option to approve each proposed repair. The whole process is transparent, easy to use, and sets clear expectations.

I broke down in Auburn while towing a teardrop with my daughter looking for a place for her to live on a tight schedule. I was in a major bind. I got two recommendations from local auto shops directing me to this shop citing it as fair trustworthy and competent. Brandon and Saul squeezed me in to an already tight schedule and turned my car around in 36 hours. They fixed a ghost in my Lexus’ engine that had been haunting me for weeks supposedly fixed by my local mechanic in engine not firing up. Truly nice people who helped me out in a jam providing competent and timely service at a fair price doing backflips to get it done in time. These guys are destined for a place in Auto Repair Heaven saving my bacon when I needed it most. Thanks Brandon and Saul!!

Brandon was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment I arrived, he made the entire process easy and stress-free. He took the time to explain everything clearly, without any pressure or upselling, which really showed me how honest and trustworthy this auto clinic is. That kind of integrity is so hard to find these days, and it gave me complete confidence in the service I was receiving. On top of that, the customer service was excellent—friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. I left feeling taken care of and with peace of mind knowing my vehicle was in great hands. I’ll definitely be coming back here for any future services and would highly recommend Brandon and this team to anyone looking for a reliable, honest auto shop.

Saul went above and beyond servicing my car. All communication had to be by phone and was done in a timely manner. They even drove to Covington to pick me up and bring me back to the shop to get my car. I highly recommend Dave’s Valley auto repair. Thanks again.

I hate having and paying for car issues but I LOVE coming to Dave’s. The guys are great—very personable and funny too. They explain things in a way that’s easy for me to understand. I feel confident that when I drive off the lot my car will be safe. Several of my family members bring their cars to Dave’s and you should too.

Brandon and his staff at Dave’s Valley Auto Clinic are amazing! It’s my first time here and I’m a little worried about the work and experience they do. I wasn’t disappointed with my decision to have them repair my car. During the process of repairing it, they have me informed and updated what would be the cost for the repair and work involved. I’m happy with the results of the repair and I’m confident with them for future repairs. I will highly recommend them!

Dave’s Valley Auto is my go-to mechanic that I can trust. This is the perfect place that I will always take cars that I’m considering purchasing to have them look over – that’s how much I trust this place. Thanks again Brandon and team!

Hidden Gem! I’ve been going to Dave’s Valley Auto Clinic for years now. They always have given fair prices, treats you with respect and gives you realistic time frames. They also keep you updated and give you options. Brandon has always provided true guidance and advice to what service is being done and needs to be done. They keep you up to date via text and phone call which is nice so as to plan your day and schedule. Cannot recommend the team enough there at Dave’s – family feel and friendly staff at an affordable price in the end. A++

Great communication. What impressed me most, was getting an inspection resulting in a text message with pictures of all the problems that needed fixing. It made everything easy to understand and gives you full control of what needs to be fixed and what can wait. I felt well taken care of and am very satisfied with their work. And yes, I will be back. Oh, and best of all, we got a loaner for free. All we needed to do was make sure the tank was full when we gave it back! – Rene

Ist time using Dave’s Auto Repair was very Impressed, got me scheduled in found the issue, gave me the cost estimate, $3000.00 cheaper then the Dealership was going to charge. Told me time frame kept to it. Repaired at cost was quoted by Jack, very nice professional guy. Car is Awesome now Great Job. Car was clean. Just a really good experience. The shop was clean, many stalls for all kinds of Repair work, I will bring my car here again, highly recommend you give them a try.

First time customer at Dave’s, 10/10 communication, service, and work. I feel like I was told exactly what my car needed and was charged fairly for it. Even when given an opportunity to up charge me for work I didn’t need (a part I thought needed replaced but ended up being totally fine) they were straight shooters and didn’t gouge me for extra parts/labor. Highly recommend and will be returning for all my vehicle maintenance needs.

Very knowledgeable and quick. Brandon took care of our fleet truck’s ignition cylinder promptly, and with a fair price. Also gave us a warning on other things that needed our attention, we are very grateful.
