Dave Power's has friendly employees and great service. I have never had any delays or problems with Dave. He helps you out the best ways possible for you and its a great shop. I highly recommend it for everyone!

Yes, I can't say enough good things about this place...after I had taken my vehicle to two other mechanics (and got the run-around) the mechanics here did the right thing. I had even been driving around on the hiway with an axle that was about to break...but they fixed it. They are honest and really look out well for their customers. Thumbs up.

I can not say enough about the guys at dave power... they found the issue and fixed the truck in less than 6 hours... and for a 1/2 of the price I had paid at prior mechanics... any one who knows me know I have had truck issues for a while now.... 3 mechanics and several thousand dollars later ... 3rd times the charm... I finally found a great place.... recommend them to anyone

Can't believe how it feels to have a trusted Mechanic !! Started with a valve cover oil leak (on my 1999 Jeep) that I took to my old mechanic (Certified) who had changed hands, well after the first time it still leaked, took it back again, it still leaked, the 3rd time they said it was a warped value cover and they couldn't fix it ! My neighbor used Dave Power for his boat, said to try them ! Took it to Dave told them the story, He said He'd get it fixed ... They found that Certified Auto hadn't even put a gasket on the valve cover ... well they fixed it and pointed out a few other things that need repairers ...Well, the valve cover STILL LEAKED ...So, took it back to Dave and Henry said it probably the exhaust leak just below the oil leak, heating up the valve cover ... Fixed the exhaust problem and Replaced the valve cover with one of the mechanics old ones he had (with no charge) just paid for the exhaust manifold leak ... OIL LEAK ? Problem Solved !! ... I've taken it back and will continue to do so ...

These guys did me great. I was quoted almost 600 to fix a hose by another mechanic, Dave Power did that and more for a third of the price. I'll definitely be back next time I have an issue with my vehicle.

I had both an emergency repair and a number of maintenance items done during this visit. I was impressed at how they understood budgets and the need to pick and choose. The did not push any service or operation. When unexpected items were discovered, an immediate phone call alerted me to the fact with the option to complete or skip it. Their estimate was spot on. Service was timely. I felt that I was in control of the transaction instead of being buffaloed into extra service on someone else's time frame. You can tell a lot about a business by how they interact with unexpected "problem" customers or repeat customers who might not be spending as much. Even the owner picked up the phone routinely and knew many of the customers by first name. They made time in their schedule for an emergency service and treated the customer respectfully and as if their money was the same as anyone else. Definitely going back with a different truck, a 1996 LandCruiser.

If you have a daughter who goes to school at Willamette University and you're looking for someone you can trust to take care of her car since you're too far away, this is the place. My daughter is graduating this year and I can only hope to find such a place again wherever her schooling takes her next. Four years of absolute honest and first rate service. I will miss these guys.

What an experience! I was referred to Dave Power by a friend and I am sure glad I took my time to drive there (3 hrs) for their service. I was purchasing a boat from a private seller and wanted Dave Power to do an inspection and appraisal. Dave and his team was EXCELLENT! They are great people. They knew what they were doing. They took their time to help me and deal with my credit union. They were honest to both me and the seller. I wish they were closer to where i live because I would make them my main place to go to. Thank you Dave and your team!!!! Ryan 1998 Duckworth

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.

Honest and Helpful

My car feels like a new car now, so safe. Doesn't make a single noises, previously there were many. Only had to pay for 1 hour for diagnosis. The Honda dealership tried to charge $670 just for the diagnosis. The list of repairs was long but he explained every item and took every call and question I had. Emailed the itemization to review also until I was sure and ready this was the right thing to.do and I trusted them completely.

It’s all about trust

I have referred others to Dave Power because I know they will no longer have to play a guessing game about vehicle repairs. When I take my vehicles in I don’t worry about whether or not I will be faced with unnecessary service or repairs. I explicitly trust Dave Power and his crew.

Professional and Friendly service

They always do what they can to get me right in and have a solution that is not the most expensive. They will provide a ride to and from the shop if needed and do what it takes to make it easy on the customer. I brought my car in they check everything out and worked with me to get what was needed now and scheduled other service at a later date to help me budget the work. Quality Service at the right price! I refer anyone looking for the best automotive shop in Salem to Dave Power.

Very Professional & Great Customer Service

I put my truck into Dave Power and they were able to get if fixed in excellent time. Other auto shops i have used have had poor customer service and/or were unable to be specific on how to fix my vehicle. The Dave Power shop was not like this, infact I will be using them (for all my auto repair needs) from here on out!

I find your work to be excellent which is the reason I keep coming back.

Knowledgable

I wouldn't take my boat for winterization or service anywhere else. Not only do they know exactly what they're doing and do so professionally, but they are also always personable and fun to interact with. It doesn't hurt that their shop is halfway between my house and work.

You Won't Find Better!

When you're "in a pickle" with your vehicle, head to Dave Power Automotive! This honest, professional team won't let you down!

Years of great service to me and my family

I inherited my grandfathers 1989 mazda pick-up. Keeping it in tip top shape has been a mater of pride and Dave Power Automotive has always been spot on with repairs at a valued price.

Oxygen sensor replacement

I called before I scheduled service because we were thinking of doing it ourselves. However, after talking with Henry about the car, the tool, and any possible complications, my husband & I decided to have Power do it. They not only had it in & out quickly, but noticed the automatic windows needed lube too--as a bonus. And noticed a sound that could become another issue(the car is 20 years old!!). Very pleasant and helpful. Very honest. Dependable. We've used this garage before and they stand behind their work & parts.

Finally found a shop that's true to their word.

These guys went through my 2005 Dakota with a fine tooth comb and found all the things that weren't working right as well as all the leaks...fixed everything and had the old truck running like a top. The price was less than I had thought it would be so I couldn't be happier. They called and kept me in the loop on a regular basis and got the job done right. May have taken a bit longer than expected but with the bad weather and guys being out sick I think they did great! Won't be taking my truck anywhere else! Thanks!

Went above and beyond helping load the boat onto vehicle and disconnect the Battery for the winter. He used professional language with is a lost art these days. Henry was also very professional in his language and skills. Really appreciate being treated with respect. Thank you.

Complete Satisfaction

This team is top notch; honest, fair, fast, and professional. We take all are outdoor/marine motor challenges to them AND we refer our friends and family to them. They may not be the cheapest but when they get it done in half the time that hourly rate is a mute point as it still works out in your favor. 👍

The are the best at true servicing your boat - they fix things not just replacing parts until the problem goes away. Real mechanics, finding and fixing the problem.
