Dave's Automotive Repair

Dare Dave's does an excellent job every time!! They are always able to get my vehicle in and have a very quick turnaround on repairs. Their prices are respectful and they have a very warm inviting family environment. They go above and beyond for their customers. I highly recommend if you are looking for good quality honest automotive repairs.

I was visiting a friend who lives in West Chester (I live about 40 minutes away). My battery in my car died, and this was almost 5:30 at night when I needed help. I called Dave's, they were about to close, but guess what...they came out right away, jump started my car, and didn't even charge me! Wow!!! I got home and the next day my regular mechanic put in a new battery, but I told myself I was going to write Dave's a good review! The trouble they got me out of that night was a lot! If I lived in West Chester, I'd be going to Dave's to get my car services done! Thanks Dave's!

This entire experience was a pleasure! Very easy to get an appointment, and I especially appreciate the Saturday hours as it is difficult for me to get my car in on a weekday. The service is efficient, and reliable. The staff is professional and friendly. I drive the extra mile to Dave’s because this business goes the extra mile!

Just the best. Honest, down to earth, genuinely happy to help you in the most reasonable and respectful way possible. There is a difference between business owners who are motivated by money and business owners who are motivated by producing a high quality product or service for their customers, and dare is absolutely the latter. Like I said, just the best.

Fantastic experience. I bought a used car nearby and they inspected it promptly and for a reasonable price. They actually pick up the phone which is now a rarity. A real pleasure and I’d say top notch!

Always the best experience when working with Dare Automotive. So much easier to work with than the dealership. They sourced parts quickly and as cheaply as possible. they deliver when they say they will at very fare prices. I highly recommend this family owned and operated business.

I had an issue while away for the weekend and had my car towed to a local dealer
They did what was necessary to get me home safely. There were other issues that I had DARE look at. They are always pleasant, helpful and explain what's needed. A pleasure to work with!

The team at DARE always go above and beyond for all my automotive needs and on top of that they treat you like family. I highly recommend bringing your car to them for service! Their partner company Jonathans Auto Outlet has also been a huge help in consigning both my friends and I's vehicles (Volkswagen Jetta and Subaru Forester). They got our cars sold quick, easy, and at a fair price. Thanks guys!

had a great experience at Daves! staff is extremely friendly and efficient. i wouldn’t take my car anywhere else

I wanted to sell my car I reached out to Jonathan. What a MAN ! Straight deal and things are fast here. I personally recommend this place for any buy/ sell / repair 😊 Hazel free transactions.

My family have been using DARE for 35 years. They are the best! They have the ability to make sure that the customers needs always come first.

They are extremely diversified as they do auto mechanical work, body work and have an outstanding component called Jonathan’s Auto Outlet. The outlet simply is stocked very well with cars. I have purchased, sold to Dare and sold on consignment with the auto outlet several times. Each time has been a pleasure. Again, DARE is an outstanding option that I use and highly recommend to anyone if they have car problems or are in need to sell or buy a used car.

Put an engine in one of my cars and have kept going back to them ever since. Quality work. I'll never go to another auto repair shop. They earned their reputation as one of the best shops in West Chester.

Really can't recommend this garage enough. I have been to various other mechanics over the years, but DARE is hands down the best mechanics in the West Chester area and is the only garage I will trust with my cars after past experiences.

I recently had an ongoing cam phaser issue in my 2010 Scion tC with a rebuilt engine. JT and Jonathan were more than helpful with diagnosing and being willing to assist dealing with the warranty company even if necessary.

The extra steps they are willing to take to make sure your car is back on the road and running properly really speaks to the fact that the quality of work and customer service is unmatched.

My car battery died and Laser was awesome and helped me get it started again

Very knowledgeable staff, courteous and transparent. Quality parts used! Fair pricing. Genuine kindness and hospitality. They take better care of my car than I deserve (given how I drive it like a tank).

Bought a 2004 Honda accord that runs beautifully. Great people, great service.

This is the only place in town that can accommodate our family van, and thank goodness! They’re friendly, helpful, good at explaining what’s going on, thorough, and honest. They always run through everything and ask permission to do the work before they proceed. They also service my husband’s car and they’ve been consistently good with everything as mundane as inspections and oil changes, to big repairs that can otherwise feel intimidating. We recommend them whenever we can.

This was my second time at the their shop and they are very friendly people. Great services, GREAT price, and a wonderful customer service! Will be coming back again!

When my lost Drivers License card came into their possession, they promptly mailed it back to me. I appreciate their willingness to help out a total stranger and now a potential future customer. Thanks DARE!

Professionalism in all aspects of this business and always in a very timely manner. Between the Mechanics, Customer service to the Owner it is always a pleasure to work with this establishment. Never any hidden fees and always upfront with you from start to finish.
