Dave’s Auto Parts & Accessories

I’ve come here for my car inspections for about 7years now and the owner is a lovely zen spirit. Small store for basic needs but I love that too!

The staff at Dave’s Auto Parts have always been nice, willing to walk me through all of the repairs, and discuss my options. I feel like the mechanics are honest and the prices are reasonable. The location is very convenient for Hoboken and the surrounding area.

One of the worst! Had my vehicle for tied up for 2 days after they told me it would be done in 4 hours. After I was finally able to pick it up it turns out that the problem still existed. After I brought it back they told me that the «rebuilt» part they ordered wasn’t any good. Who the hell asked for a rebuilt part??? I spoke to Dave, who I’ll assume owns the place and he got incredibly arrogant with me and claimed, «I don’t make the parts». He told me he would have the vehicle ready in 4 hours. Again here we are a day later and no vehicle. Beware!!!

Dave’s is a great auto repair shop in Hoboken. They are very friendly and prompt in their services. I have rarely waited a long time from anything from a patch in my tire to an inspection. Also, they are very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place.

PLEASE DONT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!
I was stuck going back three different times because they did not fix the problem. After a new battery and a new starter a different mechanic found out it was the alternator. When I asked if they had checked the alternator in any of the three times the car was there, they could not give me an answer and continue to give me the run around.
They were not honest and I truly believe they do not know what they’re doing. Please avoid the same hassle and find another shop.

I have a 1999 Ford Taurus and it still runs like new thanks to the mechanics at Dave’s Auto.
Very solid mechanics, and the shop is run by very nice, fair, honest, reasonable, helpful owner and managers (Dave, Felix, and Marisel). I recommend them highly.

came to dave’s by way of recommendation of a friend– so impressed by Dave’s. were very helpful and patient :)

Great place! I needed to get a NJ inspection sticker and get my oil changed. The service was fast and reasonably priced. They were very friendly and had a shop where you can get anything from machine oil to trinkets. I also know that it’s a good place because my super goes there too and he seems to know all the best places in town.

After years of over paying for routine service at my local Toyota dealer, I decided to give this place a try since I can jog home after I drop off my car instead of having to sit and wait for 2 hours. I knew needed an oil change and new belts, but I also thought my power steering was going b/​c of the screeching noises I heard on occasion. Much to my surprise, they were honest with me, told me my power steering was fine, and it was just the belts that were making the noise which they replaced at almost half the cost I was quoted by a Toyota dealership. I am so glad I gave this place a shot and I will most definitely be coming back in 5000 miles!

I have used Dave’s on and off for about 7 years on both a Maxima and an Audi. I have never had major work done but they have fixed my a/​c, replaced my brakes, fixed an electrical problem, changed my oil and probably a few things I don’t remember. It never seems cheap but I don’t feel ripped off. They take longer than they say it wil, l but that is part of the auto business now. Compared to Pep Boys and the other swindlers in the area, Dave is a dream.

Here is my story about Dave’s auto parts. I have lived in Hoboken for 3 years, and brought my car to dave’s about 7 times. I have had oil changes and inspections. This last time was THE LAST time for me though.
My car was having a small amount of trouble starting, so I brought it in. They told me I needed some work, and it would cost about 300 bucks. Okay, no biggie. Then they call me and said I needed more work, and it would take a day, and it would be 600 bucks. Okay, not happy, but fine.
So i get the car on Monday morning, and the CHECK ENGINE light is on. Okay, no big deal, maybe it just needs a second. Nope, they messed with the timing and my car was misfiring on all cylinders. So I had to drive it right back. The next day, the owner Dave tells me he «doesn’t know» what is going on. He sent the car to another repair shop to undo and repair the shoddy job they did. KEEP IN MIND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS READY, AND IT WAS MISFIRING AND HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.
The car was «gone» for another 3 days, after which I got it back and so far it seems okay.
When I went it to discuss the 675 dollars I paid for the priviledge, they did not refund $ 1, because «We paid for a new fuel pump and didn’t charge me for it». Oh thanks Dave, thanks for not charging me to repair the damage YOU did to my car.
Never again, not recommended at ALL.
