They opened a little after 8am, and they ran a diagnosis on my car. Nothing engine related showed, so they cleared my codes and told me to drive it string until the issue happened again. They did this out of the goodness of their heart. Much appreciated read more

They did a really great job on my truck. They kept me informed of their progress every step of the way. I highly recommend this shop for automobile repair. read more

The shop fixed my shifter when a spring broke in it. Their service was extremely fast and they were very helpful.

BEWARE !! Extremely expensive and they charge you for their mistakes. They misdiagnosed my problem, they did not fix my problem and then they wanted to charge me full amount for parts and labor. Stay away, find another auto shop. read more

Saved me over $700 for my repair . First class service. I have used them for 7 yrs and I'm always satisfied.

We were visiting and developed grinding sound in front brakes. John was able to get us in the day we arrived and completed a 4 wheel brake job in 1 1/2 days. The price was very reasonable and work done was excellent! Would definitely recommend this shop. Sam read more

Went here to get my head lights get checked. The staff was friendly and polite. Checked the light and told they were al-right and suggested some things to make it better. But did not enforce me to change them there. read more

My car alternator quit charging my battery in cape Canaveral. I like supporting local business. so I went to Dave's Beach Auto repair. And the car was not drivable. I was told they could not get to it until tomorrow. 3 days later I get a call with a quote for an alternator $299 for the alternator and $367 to install it. I knew it was priced high but the car can't go anywhere with out a tow. so I ok'ed the work. they then said it would be tomorrow before it was completed. 10 days later I get the car back. $792.06. very expensive! called Napa auto parts and find that a NEW alternator cost was $241 REMANUFACTURED alternator was $168. they used a remanufactured on my car for $299. 63$ just to inspect it. we all knew what was wrong no inspection was needed. people that know little about auto repair BE VERY CAUTIOUS. I feel he took advantage of being stranded.!! read more

WOW! I'm really surprised to see so many 1s. My experience at Dave's Beach Auto Repair was nothing but pleasant and a great deal. It started when the Flex pipe on my HHR became detached from the muffler because the last mechanic I hired botched the job. After checking with yet a different muffler shop I was told the job would be a simple weld for $35, only to be told (once it was up on the rack) that it would be AT LEAST $150! No thanks. Over the phone Dave told me, "I stopped 'ballparking' estimates because I never know what I'll find. Bring it in tomorrow, and we'll take a look. If I can't fix it, it won't cost you anything." The next morning, it took exactly 20 minutes to lift my car, weld my muffler and send me on my way, all for the cost of $40. Dave and his staff were cordial and actually spent some time joking with me and NOT acting high and mighty over cleaning up another mechanic's botched job. I have a new mechanic. read more

Came in for a check engine light. They called indicating the repair would be inexpensive. Possibly a gas cap. Well it turn out that it was a purge valve. Firstly they overcharged on the valve and the labour was crazy. Before we know it the bill swelled to over 400.00. Checked online and found out that the entire repair should of been about 150.00 Do not let them fill out a work order since that can be fudged to their liking. Since we are Canadians vacationing in Cocoa Beach, this puts a stop to our plans. In Canadian dollars this small repair translates to 500.00 Have a good day. Ha read more

Took my truck there for estimate, 8 days later after calling several times I finally picked it up, he said it was ABS problem and charged 104 for diagnosis. They said it needed new hubs and would cost $1000, $330 for each hub plus labor...I bought the hubs on Amazon for $122 for both. Franks Tire installed for $90, WOW what a RIP OFF! read more

The best auto repair in Cape Canaveral. Very efficient and courteous. Excellent work ethics. My family and I have been customers for well over 10 years. I highly recommend them for their professionalism. All around great service! Thank you Dave for always coming to my rescue! Maria read more

Do not recommend. They told me I needed a fuel pump. Charged me over $800. They told me the work was done and I could pick up my vehicle. When I drove off it died on me just around the corner in the same way it broke down the first time. A police officer helped push me off the street. I called them and they came and got it. All it was was the ground wire the whole time. An easy fix. And they charged me $29 for that. I can't post on here my exact words or reactions that day. But I think you get my drift. If you don't know much about automotive things you don't want to go here. read more

Great job. My first visit to Dave's Beach Auto and couldn't be happier. I spent a lot of time trying to unsuccessfully track down a problem with my 86 Dodge and finally decided to take it to the experts. They do solid work and their prices are fair. I would recommend them to others and will do business again with them in the future. read more

Without any provocation from me the owner was very short with me and was beyond RUDE! I've never been so offended by a service person before in my entire life. I took my business elsewhere. read more

Although it's been a few a months since my last repair from Dave, I can easily say the whole process was excellent. Dave's diagnosis of the problem was spot on, when I had other shop tell me something totally different. This shop ranks in my 2 best places in my area for auto repairs. read more

...Any Auto Repair that doesnt rip you off its a good day, ...They did the right thing by me, Brought my Jeep there, I Recommend

we had a fish hook in one of the tires and they were able to fix the problem fast. they were very professional. definitely found my forever mechanic. read more

I caught the owner I assume was Dave red handed a few years ago trying to bump up the repair cost with a part that could not even be installed on my vehicle. I normally fix stuff myself but this repair had me stumped. I should have called the cops or filed a BBB claim because I had documented proof of the act. I did not pay the bill and the owner knew I had caught him. My vehicle was actually working when I asked for it back two days before the supposed part was even installed. I simply made a promise to myself to write a public review every so often to warn other people about this type of practice here. This guy Dave did not act in a honest way on my repair and basically tried to rip me off. I am not sure how often he tries it but he did with me. read more

They way overpriced my estimate. When I called him out on it, he said the mechanics write the estimates and he doesn't check them. Hard pass if you don't want to get ripped off. I took it somewhere else and paid 1/3 of what Dave wanted. PASS PASS PASS read more

I stopped by because I thought there was a leak in my tire. They did a great job at checking to see if there was a leak. Luckily there wasn't! They were super nice and efficient. read more

Called around for a quote on resetting the steering sensor. EVERYONE quoted me at $50 (which is expensive to push a button). After Daves Beach Auto pushed the button, the total was $90. Rip off. This is why everyone hates mechanics. read more

I took my car to Dave's and spent almost $300 on it. When I picked it up, it had the same problem. After further diagnosis, he admitted he had made a mistake, but refused to issue a refund. read more

He told me a $1,400 differential fix would cure my problem, it didn't. His response was "you didn't tell me it was a CVT transmission on this car, it must be that." Don't go there. No offer of any discount or refund for his misdiagnosis. read more

Brought my van there to get antifreeze taken out so i could put a by-pass pulley for ac compressor but there was none in it. Took them about 5 minutes . No charge. Then i brought a Honda Civic there to get checked. Not blowing real cold air. So they put the charger on it but it was charged. They looked at the condensor and said it was bad. Estimate was 526.50 to repair. Took them like 5 minutes to diagnose. Then they charged me 38.47 for diagnosis and 4 oz of freon.. read more

Tire got a nail in it. went to Dave's Auto . They fixed it in no time flat. bad pun. great service. thanks guys

This auto repair business is the Best in Brevard County. Honest and they do a top notch job on any repair that is done.. I was quoted 105.00 by another repair shop and Daves's found the problem in literally 10 minutes.. Turned out to be a faulty gas cap that wasn't sealing properly and was causing my check engine light to stay on.. Live this Business.. cost me 20.00!!! read more

I had my car towed here for over-heating on long hwy drives. I was taken back a little with rudeness over the phone, but I gave them a chance anyway. (I asked if he needed my number & he said 'Um, no you just called me on it' I came in a few days later & the employee said they didn't have my number, so there was no way to be in touch.) They replaced the heater hose & charged me $209. I took my car to work the next day & it did the same thing. I called & again Dave had a rude comment. "How far did you drive it?" "Oh! Well, I didn't drive it that far." (As if it's my fault for driving it too far) I brought it in again, and he estimated me at $450 for a new radiator. I was willing to pay it until I knew better. After asking around, the locals tell me Dave is a "rip off artist" and shook their heads at the prices I told them. I got someone else in town to replace my radiator for $260. I told Dave I didn't want to do it anymore and picked up my car. He was so rude when I came to pick up my car. He didn't even look at me or say thank you. I DID spend $200 there and I thought I deserved better costumer service. I felt as if my money wasn't appreciated. I may have gone back for small repairs, as this shop is so close to my house, but I really don't appreciate the attitude I got, the high prices and mostly the bad costumer service. You lost another local. read more

Daves Beach Auto Repair - Dave charged me 200$ to replace a heater hose. This is the supposed "new hose" after we brought it home. Full of gunk and rust. - Auto Repair Near Me - Cape Canaveral, Florida

Was quoted $800 for a clutch repair (VW dealer quoted $1100) - decided to bring it do Dave's - wish I hadn't - all of a sudden the bill was $1160. No guarantee on the work except for one year, and they stated only if it was not misused. What a terrible decision I made to go HERE. As I type, I am requesting him to put the parts back and I am having it towed to the VW dealer. This guy is a crook and overcharges. If you take your car, make sure you get a written quote. Better yet, DONT take it at all. read more

Dave's team just gave my 2004 Dodge Ram a new lease on life, after I neglected her for 14 years. She sounded and drove like she was on her last leg when I limped into his shop. A week later I drove out with a truck that sounded and drove like new. Felt so good about I actually washed her. Price was great also. Thanks Dave, you and your guys are greatly appreciated by me. read more

Ask for Stan when you go. Very knowledgeable and honest. Gets it done right the first time!

We've been taking our '96 Ford Explorer to Dave's Beach Auto for years and he's been keeping it purring, which amazing considering our proximity to the beach. He rates are pretty standard, his estimates are right-on, and I've never felt ripped off like I have at other auto shops. Glad to have a shop like this beach-side. read more

Beach Auto Repair is my favorite repair shop. They have helped me keep my daughter's tired Jeep running and fixed some very tough problems. Expect reasonable prices and fair treatment. If it gets better than this I have not found it. Just wish they had a location in California too! read more

This guys are horrible. No customer service at all and will not answer question. They will beat up anyone that ask a simple question and anyone that is around them. Don't come here. It's not worth your money at all. read more

Our experience with Dave's "Beach Auto Repair" has been that Dave, John and Billy do an outstanding job for a fair price. Three years ago, when we had a flat battery, AAA determined we needed a new alternator. John told us there was nothing wrong with the alternator. Charge: zero. The driver's window on our car needed a new motor. Two years later the passenger's window on our car needed a new motor. Cost of service was the same. Dave has a sign that reads: "Good + Fast = Expensive, Good + Cheap = Slow, Fast + Cheap = Inferior." We think Dave's "Beach Auto Repair" should have a sign that reflects their outstanding service, "Good + Fast = Honest and Reasonable." read more

GREAT SERVICE!! I had some car trouble before going on a cruise for my bday and was referred to Dave by a couple of people. Dave was very professional, helpful, friendly and the prices for service were great! He kept my mind at ease as he would send pics of the progress, provided timeframes for completion AND educated me on auto care. Although I was 400 plus miles away from my car (I had to leave my car; I live in a different state) --- I felt comfortable knowing my car was in good hands! I picked my car up and it runs GREAT- Yay!! Thank you DAVE!!! read more

Nightmare of a company. Rude, abusive and not a sign of customer service. Dave the owner told me he charged me for time that he did not use working on my car because it was an industry standard. Overcharged me to the tune of 144.00 just to tell me I needed a vacuum hose. Dave stated that was the industry labor rate but acknowledged he did not spend the 1.8 hours I paid for. The sign out front states "We do it all honestly". You do not need to advertise honesty you practice it. THIS COMPANY IS A RIP OFF AND SCAM!!!!!!!! BUYER BEWARE". read more
