This is an amended review:…read more After I posted my Yelp review for Applewood Auto Care, I received a call from someone who identified himself only as Sam, who told me he was a District Manager with Applewood Auto Care. Although the Better Business Bureau web site shows that the business is a corporation, Sam assured me that Applewood Auto Care is not a corporation. Sam wanted to make it clear that they did nothing to cause my car not to start, but he couldn't explain how I was able to start my car and drive it to their shop. The auto shop that ultimately repaired my car said that, as they didn't know what Applewood Auto Care did during servicing, they had no way of knowing why the car wouldn't start, other than the fact that the timing chain needed to be replaced. Therefore, I amend my review of Applewood Auto Care to say, I have no proof that Applewood Auto Care did anything to exacerbate my car starting problem. In my original review, I didn't mention that Applewood Auto Care billing is awkward and unnecessarily confusing. Their oil change coupon special showed a price of $59.95, but no where on my bill was the $59.95 amount. Though a discount was applied, the bill included an unexplained "Fees" amount. Applewood Auto Care did demonstrate an interest in addressing my concerns, and even offered to perform a future oil change free of charge. Sam's reluctance to uniquely identify himself by refusing to reveal his last name was unprofessional and paranoid. Though Applewood Auto Care diagnostics were thorough and well documented with photos, overall, their prices for repair work are high, especially their estimate for replacing the timing chain. Their billing accounting needs to be better documented and more straightforward! Therefore, I cannot justify anything more than a "could've been better" rating for this auto shop

Admittedly, Stu is never someone that you want to need to call... but you are infinitely grateful for when you have to call! He has always been honest, upfront, and educational when I've needed repairs. I always appreciate the thorough reporting that I get when receiving estimates. Getting the run-down on both the immediate repair needs and what repairs/maintenance to anticipate in the future helped me take a car I expected to only last 6 months & made it run for another 2.5yrs. Over the years, his mechanics have prevented me from buying bad vehicles during pre-sale inspections. One time, Stu was able to diagnose a problem with my old jeep based on my description of an occasional noise and his trust in my intuition. No clue how he did it, but it was probably magic. Anyway, just save his number for when you need him!

I went to Yelp to contact a few places and I'll responded immediately saying he could come over for a full car inspection. He was at my house in an hour and knew exactly what my car needed, what pieces needed to be replaced, and recommended replacing a few plastic parts associated with the oil seal and engine stuff with metal ones to avoid future problems and explained why these things were causing my car issues and why they needed to be replaced. I really appreciated how well everything was explained, and trusted him immediately as his knowledge was very evident to look at my car. I asked him to take a look at the engine, brakes, and I needed a few other things looked at and I'll knew exactly what the problems were and gave me a quote and said I could bring it by the shop and he would have it fixed by the next day. It was ready as promised, and fine initally. Then when I drove a few hours later, there were new issues and I was lucky to make it home so I contacted Al at 8pm and instead of responding the next day, he came over at 9 PM on a Friday night to pick my car and take it back to his shop which was a huge relief to me as I planned to drive to the mountains the next day and was sure I'd have to cancel my trip. He figured out what happened and fixed it immediately. Al truly went above and beyond and is so knowledgeable and knew exactly what was causing an issue and understands systems and recommend preventative service. He confirmed everything in the engine was connected properly, washed it down, and replaced my cabin filter for free. Thank you!!!

I brought my car in because my highest priority was diagnosing and repairing the check engine light…read moreso I could complete my emissions test and finally renew my expired registration. I made that very clear when I scheduled the appointment, dropped the car off around 8:30 a.m., and again explained that I needed the vehicle back by 2:00 p.m. because I work a night shift. I specifically asked that this be prioritized. Around 11:30 a.m., I received a call that my car was ready. I was then told that the check engine light--the primary reason for my appointment--had not been repaired. After reading the code, they determined the required part would need to be ordered, and I would need to bring the car back on Thursday or Friday. My frustration isn't that the part had to be ordered. I understand that no one can know exactly what's needed until the vehicle is diagnosed. My frustration is the lack of communication. If I had been told when I dropped the car off that there were six vehicles ahead of me and that my priority repair likely couldn't be completed that day, I could have made an informed decision to either leave the car or take it somewhere else. Instead, I lost most of my day and still left without resolving the one issue that brought me in. To Jeff's credit, he reduced my bill by about $30 for the oil change and diagnostic, which I appreciated. However, clear communication at the beginning would have been far more valuable than a discount afterward. Another issue during checkout genuinely concerned me. When I signed electronically to pay for the oil change and diagnostic that had been completed, the system automatically applied my signature to a separate estimate for the future check engine repair. I had not approved that repair. The part still needed to be ordered, and I hadn't even decided whether I would return to have the work done. What made me uncomfortable was that the estimate already contained authorization language stating, "I hereby authorize the repair work..." even though I had never authorized those repairs. In my opinion, signing for completed work should not automatically place a customer's signature on a separate estimate for work that has not yet been approved. An estimate is not the same thing as authorizing repairs. I raised this concern directly with Jeff because he is the owner. Instead of acknowledging why a customer might question seeing their signature on an unapproved estimate containing authorization language, I felt my concern was dismissed. Whether this is a software issue or an internal process, I believe it should be corrected. A customer's signature should only appear on an estimate after that customer has actually approved the proposed repairs. Because I had not authorized that repair, I asked that the estimate be marked "Canceled" before I left. I simply was not comfortable leaving with my signature attached to an estimate I had not accepted. I also learned that Jamie is no longer with the company. She was organized, detailed, proactive, and customer-focused. Looking back, I now realize how much she contributed to the overall customer experience. Since her departure, the communication and coordination no longer feel like they once did. Jeff has always done quality mechanical work on my vehicle, and I still believe the shop is fairly priced and doesn't try to sell unnecessary repairs. However, today's experience showed me that good mechanical work alone isn't enough. Communication, appointment management, and administrative processes matter just as much. Unfortunately, I no longer have the same confidence in the customer experience. UPDATE: Long-time customer correcting factual inaccuracies in the owner's response. Due to character limits, my complete response, call log, Uber timeline, voicemail, and supporting documentation are attached as screenshots. I also encourage readers to review the owner's responses to other critical reviews before forming their own opinion. Summary: Owner states I was "45 minutes late." My attached call log and Uber timeline document the actual timeline. At 8:08 AM, I called, explained my emergency, and asked whether I should reschedule. I was told, "No, go ahead and come in." My review was never about parts availability. It was about communication and concerning administrative practices. An estimate is not an authorization. Automatically transferring a customer's signature onto an estimate does not resolve my concern--it explains it. After my review, I received a voicemail stating the shop would no longer repair my vehicle. I respected that decision. Technical ability was never my concern. Communication, administration, and handling of customer feedback were. Please read the attached screenshots for the complete timeline and supporting documentation.

They diagnosed an…read moreengine issue years before anyone else caught it, and I would probably still have that same car if I didn't start going to a mechanic closer to my house who "fixed" the problem and then misdiagnosed it. My family has been taking cars to Dave's for years, and my family has decades-old cars that still run great. Everyone here is honest too. They had the opportunity to sell me thousand-dollar fixes that I was ready to pay for, but they're the kind of people who say "let's try an oil change first." Recently, I had a personal issue and had to leave my car there for quite a few days, and they were communicative and accommodating while I figured out a way to come get it. They even gave me advice about the DMV that saved me some major hassle. Their prices are competitive too, and I would still come to Dave's if they weren't. I can't speak highly enough of this place.
