The mechanics did a superb job of diagnosing the issues that my car was having. They did a nice job with the tire alignment and also with replacing and balancing tires. Also, the secretary of staff was outstanding to work with. Very honest, very effective, a great team to work with! Just FYI, Dave’s shop used to be called a different name similar to if not the same as Elk Rapids breaks and alignment and is right next-door to Harbor flooring on Highway 31. They have a key drop off on the front door.

Swapped from summer to winter tires on my Nissan. . They were fast and courteous. A cost effective and convenient alternative to going to Traverse City. Took the Saab in for oil change, tire rotation, and front brakes. They have great work for me in Traverse City and I am happy they're here in Elk Rapids.

What our Customers are Saying

Always gives fantastic service, friendly faces, and a lovely waiting room. They make sure your car is in good condition or at least notify you if something is wrong with your car, which you can either accept a further inspection or decline. They always do their best, and it's only the best from Dave's Garage.
~ Jeremy

We brought the car in for brake inspection and could not have received better service! Brandon, Heather, Noah and the rest of the crew took such great care of us from the time we arrived to the shuttle service in between, explaining in detail what needed to be upgraded for our vehicle. This great experience will definitely lead us back to them in the future. We highly recommend Dave’s Garage!
~ Shelly

Dave's has always given us excellent service. We have been using them for 10 + years, with multiple cars. Most recently they replaced a part that they had previously replaced. We had no recollection of the previous replacement and were so grateful that they checked their records and found that it was still under warrenty. So no charge to us for the part. Office staff is top notch. They get you in quickly and perform the work in a very reasonable time frame.
