Honest, reliable mechanic. A rare find. I took my car in for weird noises after a wheel bearing replacement. He took it apart and figured out that Pep Boys used the WRONG part. I was able to call and get the wheel re-fixed for free with the correct part. I would highly recommend them! read more

DKA does solid work. I have a 2009 Mazda CX-7 that had been sitting for a while. I needed all the preventative maintenance done and the AC fixed. Dale and his crew fixed everything on short notice in a day. It cost me about half of what the dealership would have charged me. The AC was out for about 4 years. Good to have back in this Vegas heat. read more

Dale, the owner of DKA is extremely helpful and friendly. I initially took my VW here after the dealer claimed I needed upwards of $1500 in supposed repairs during a routine oil change. Dale was recommended to me by a family member, so I took my Passat in for a second opinion. Dale took one look under the hood and told me, quite simply, that the dealer was likely trying to swindle me. This first visit was about a year ago. Since then, I've taken my car to him at least 5 times for routine maintenance and occasional failures (is a VW, after all), and I have been nothing but pleased. The staff is considerate and honest (such a hard thing to find in the industry) and always, always reasonably and honestly priced. I would (and have) recommend Dale and DKA Automotive to anyone. Please patronize this business. It's definitely worth it. read more

They diagnosed my problem(bad fuel pump) and fixed it very quickly. I'm very pleased.

I took my car into DKA Automotive after getting a problem checked out from a firestone automotive shop - which gave me a laundry list of issues with my car. If you are looking to get a second or even third opinion - this is the first and last place I recommend. Dale explained everything from A-Z and answered all my questions. He gave me an honest and realistic estimate and still was able to give me a price point under his estimate. You know how everyone is looking for an honest mechanic...well look no further. Dale is truly an honest mechanic. Ashley is a pleasure to work with also - they care about how they leave their customers feeling. I will definitely bring in my car again and recommend DKA to all my friends. read more

Dale is the most dedicated, honest and skillful mechanics I've found in town. He's experienced and straightforward, and doesn't lead you around in circles. For the very reasonable price he charges, he definitely spend a lot of time helping to evaluate and fix your cars. I would totally recommend DKA to anyone!! read more

I brought my 1990 Chevy van back to DKA to have the air conditioning repaired, since they did such a good job with the previous work. They pretty much had to refurbish my entire system, as the van is 25 years old. When I first got the van back I wasn't sure if it was blowing cold enough, but after thoroughly sealing and insulating the cab of the van, it cools down nicely now. I still need to have the windows tinted as well. Overall. It was a good job and I'm satisfied. read more

Dale is awesome and honest! Does a great job and keeps you updated on everything. I would recommend to anyone. Truly the best automotive mechanic experience I've had in Las Vegas.!! Thank you Dale.. 99 suburban read more

DKA and Dale are the best. He is very knowledgeable about my car (Volkswagen) and he is great at explaining everything in a way anybody can understand. It is very rare to meet somebody that is wants to SHOW you what is going on. He is great and always saves old parts to show where/how they failed. He prices are more than fair. I just picked up my vehicle from him after it needed a fuel pump and fuel injector. I ended up paying over $200 less than the next best quote I could find. Every time I bring him one of my cars or off road toys he beats my expectations. My car has 90k miles and is running better than ever thanks to Dale. They are honest, a great value, and do great work. Front office staff is also very delightful too. Thanks Dale and team for all the great work! read more

Dale is very trustworthy. I brought my car to his shop later in the day on Saturday when my electric car window would not come up. I felt like it was a crisis because if my window wasn't repaired immediately, my car would be exposed to the elements and could have been stolen. Dale took my call and said that he could look at the car even though it was late in the day. It turns out that my window regulator had to be replaced. Dale had to order the part, but he was able to get my window up temporarily until the part was in on Monday. Finding DKA Automotive last Saturday actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise because there was a bad dust and rain storm that Saturday night. I brought my car back and he took care of the repair immediately. His fee was reasonable and fair. Dale really takes pride in what he does and he doesn't try to take advantage even if you are in a crisis. I highly recommend Dale and DKA Automotive. read more

Terrible work. Don't trust him with changing a lightbulb in my car, let alone a repair.

Owner of shop is nasty and unprofessional. He was on a call and used derogatory language towards a female including the B**** word and C***!! Avoid at all costs, does terrible work and over quotes. read more

Great service and very reasonable price! I've got fixing my VW CC estimated in different place for between 2-3k. Then we went to DKA. Dale fixed my car for under 400$ in a couple of hours. Highly recommending that auto shop! read more

My mechanic of 5 years could not figure out the loud exhaust kind of noise and vibrations. Within 1/2 hour Dale figured it out and fixed it. The broken motor mount my previous mechanic had replaced 2/28/14 was installed backwards. Let me tell you that the sound was horrendous, like a big truck. My 2005 Dodge Neon SXT now purrs. It's just amazing how just an improperly installed motor mount could create such a headache splitting sound. $44.00 for the fix. I now have a new mechanic in Dale. Thank you Dale. read more

These guys are awesome! Dale is very friendly and knows his way around any car. He totally rebuilt the top end of my vw jetta and also did some work on my suburban the shop is clean and they where very considerate to all my needs.....this is an A+ shop they even threw in some extras I wasn't expecting. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Here we go again! This is actually my 3rd review of DKA, and fortunately I can't really add anything , I can only reaffirm my first 2. Late 2016 my pesky AC issues returned. Dale said the compressor needed to be replaced but he said if I wanted him to warranty my AC "system" he would need to replace all of the components at the same time. Well trusting him based on my first experience I agreed. And DKA did the work. That was late September or early October 2016. I didn't have much of chance to test it out before winter set it. However the first spring day that was over 80 in March 2017, it didn't appear to be cooling. I called DKA, and spoke to an obviously busy Dale, who said bring it in. I have to add, that when DKA replaced my AC, I asked them to also install an oversized after market radiator and oversized cooling fans to battle the Las Vegas summers. which I bought on EBay. Dale obliged and suggested I do some modifications to make the fans more efficient. I never followed through with his suggestion. When I brought my car in on Wed March 22nd and explained the symptoms Dales response was " if it's something we did, we'll fix it, if it's the cooling fans or something else, I'll let you know". Well, being a long time sceptic of diagnoses that aren't obvious, like polyps in your colon ( can I please count the # you removed if I'm paying for each?) I thought for a split second I knew the obvious outcome. How else could the guy make Money. Dale called me (mind you he was swamped when I dropped it off) about 3 hours later and told me it was a lose "low side Schrader valve" and it was fixed and ready for pickup. NO CHARGE. I will NEVER ask Dale to cover for me with my wife while planning her surprise birthday party, but as I've stated before, s long as he's slinging wrenches, I'm taking all my automotive repair needs to him and DKA. Seriously folks, do yourself a favor and don't call anyone else. It's such a relief to trust your, honest, intelligent, overly certified automotive technician ( however I did hear rumor he took a package of office copy paper home for personal use). To date, I've spent north of $?000 with DKA on my 1993 Toyota MR 2, and he treats it like it's his daughters. read more
