These are professional and are very good at communication. I enjoyed that they informed me what they found and gave me all the details so that I was able to make an informed decision. Highly recommend them and I will return for any future maintenence and repairs.

This was a very honest and personal business that I will be using again! I would recommend this place for anyone that needs help from a local shop.

I really enjoy these guys! I would 100% recommended everyone to come in and get your work done by any of these men. They were up front, honest, and genuinely kind. The gentleman working on my car even came and showed me what was wrong and what needed to be done ! Loved the transparency!Came in on my lunch break and it was done in a flash, they definitely are busy guys though so I’ll definitely be making a reservation first next time.Overall super happy I’ve found a shop that I can trust with my baby. Will definitely be coming back !!

Always can be counted on to give solid assessment and repair at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Great place to bring your trailer. Very knowledgeable.

These guys are awesome! I started my experience with them with my semi truck but quickly realized they are great at everything! I took my Lexus to them and they rocked it too! Super nice, great fair prices and a nice waiting lounge!

Great customer service rapport is very appreciated!!

Dave Power is by far the best auto shop in Salem. When I was living there I went to them for all my troublesome 01 Jettas problems, and they fixed promptly and professionally with care and quality.They even go above and beyond simple repairs. Two years ago, my wife was rear ended and her car was totaled. Not knowing what to do, we took the car to Dave Power, and although they did not do work on that sort of issue, they were very accommodating and kind by contacting another place where we could take the car.If you need repairs for your car in Salem, go to Dave Power.

Slow to get started and thus took a while. Outside of that Davie Powers Automotive was thorough and patient. I particularly enjoyed their full and simple explanation thatll me feeling confident in their work.

I wanted to share that this place did a fantastic job on my boat motor repairs recently. Arly and Henry at the front counter were very knowledgeable and helpful. I have owned various boats over the last 40 years in the Salem area and never used this facility before. I usually take my boats to another reputable boat repair shop in Salem. But due to various reasons I was forced to try out Dave Power Marine to get my boat engine problems repaired. They got my boat scheduled in less than a weeks notice and had it repaired and ready to go in less than 2 days at the shop. Which is pretty impressive this time of year. I was really impressed with their honesty. As I told them that the motor was dying every time I tried to throttle up. I thought it might need a carb rebuild and tune up. They diagnosed the problem as a bad fuel filter and a throttle linkage adjustment. They basically had my authorization to due the carb rebuild and tune up for probably $600+ dollars and told me it wasn’t necessary. Wow now that is a nice surprise and honesty. And when I went to pick up my boat Henry took the time to show me a few things on my engine I had questions about. I would definitely recommend these guys for your boat repairs. As they were very quick and my boat is running better than ever. Thanks Dave Power Marine and especially Arly and Henry.

This is an honest shop. That says a lot these days. Great local business that caters to general automotive repair also boat mechanical repair. Dave the owner is onsite and one of the most knowledgeable around when it comes to boats. Highly recommend for boating and automobile repairs.

Our Van had been sounding rough on the idle and while driving. Henry explained the process and possibilities giving me a low and high end scenarios. The guys checked it out and found it was going to be an expensive repair with more possible once the obvious issue was repaired. They called and gave us the information we needed to make a good decision for our family situation. I felt they were honest, had integrity and will definitely be using them as needed in the future.

Dave’s powersports went above and beyond and went completely out of their way to step in and help us when our Motorhome fuel pump quit on us as we were on our way for vacation. They truly are professionals and will act and do what they can to help! Thanks again, so very much, Dave and your team, for coming to our aid!Buck McBride.

I’m so blessed to have heard about this place. I’m new to Salem and I’m glad valvoline oil referred me to you. The service was excellent I rate this place a 10 and I appreciate you all keeping my car and holding it for a few days while I was out of town. Car running great thank you all for your hard work.

We had a problem with our Berkeley jet drive in our boat. For three years, we had an annoying leak we could not find. We were referred to Dave powers as people who knew jet drives. We took it down to them ( nobody in Portland would touch it) and left it. By the next day, Henry, the tech, had found it. He recommended some othe work since the drive was tore down. He put it back together and is running perfectly. Thanks again!

I was recommended by friends to Daves Power. Im a new boat owner. They were very helpful! First visit was great plan to do all my boat maintenance and repair there. Had depth finder installed also

Always get great service from these guys had my boat winterized then noticed I had an issue with my trailer they got me in same day and got me taken care of. I have used them for over 10 years

My family and I have been going to Dave Power Automotive forever. My dad has had everything serviced there from classic cars to speed boats. I’ve personally used their services for over 17 yrs now. He’s literally worked on all of my vehicles since I started driving. Super awesome, family run business in Salem. I don’t let anyone else diagnose or repair my vehicles besides Dave Power and his crew. Always friendly, efficient and affordable. If you need repairs done, check them out, you wont be disappointed.

The guys at Dave Power, looked my engine over and determined that the work I asked for wasnt needed,they called me before proceeding and saved me some money. Very reasonable prices with no hourly minimum. Will definitely use them again should the need arises.

Ive used Dave at Dave Powers for over 7 years and I have never had a bad experience I actually was just teasing him the other day I was telling him that Ive never been disappointed until it comes time to pay the bill lmao and he laughs everybody I know I brag to them about him and tell him that I put my word on him customer service honesty dependability excellent shop as long as Ive got needs to get my boat repaired or maintained it will be him thanks again Dave for all the hard work

Had to get my Ford diesel fixed. Water pump, oil change, serpentine belt and a couple other things.In and out a lot faster than i expected.Positive upbeat atmosphere. Great communication about service and cost.Thanks guys!

They did a pre-purchase inspection on a car I bought. They did a good job letting me know any issues. Keep in mind they may not check all internal electronics but they did a great job with the rest of the car. Easy to work with remotely.

Great service, well worth the money for boat and motor repair!!!

Recommend highly, take all our cars there and have forevever

Needed a bunch of boat trailer work done. The trailer company that manufactured the original trailer was out of business so they couldn’t get replacement parts. They did a lot of research to come up with a good solution that worked. Very thorough when I picked up the trailer and going through and showed me the parts that they replaced. Spoke to the Mechanic as well and they did a great job. Highly recommend!

Very satisfied from dave Powers they went over and above on my boat thanks

Finding a Berkeley Jet Mechanic these days is next to impossible. Daves work was complete and well done. I had the jet completely rebuilt. They kept me informed throughout the process. Obtaining the parts proved to be a challenge during COVID but as soon as the parts arrived they had it done. Very professional people working here.

They listen, do what they say they are going to do, and are very reasonable. Might be the last place in America like this. GO HERE!!

Very fordable decent price well communication excellent service fast repair friendly staff honest shop in town.

Got it done in one day. Very good and professional communication. Have used them before and will use them again.

These guys are awesome! Excellent service with fair prices. I make the trip from tangent because I totally trust them to perform any work on my Baby!

Great guys to talk to. Very knowledgeable helped me out a lot I would highly recommend them for service of your boat or vehicle.

We moved to Oregon a few years ago and were in need of an auto mechanic. We wanted to find someone we could trust and not take advantage of us. We learned about Dave Power Automotive through word of mouth from a friend, and now they have my business. Great service! Dave Power Automotive is honest and trustworthy. You can feel good knowing your car is in good hands. They always go the extra mile to ensure I receive great customer service.

These guys have the best customer service, prices and quality of work

Work on my Nissan marina wasnt peeing and wouldnt run dropped it off with a appointment and picked it up later that day ...just got back from Detroit lake caught my limit of trout and made lap around the lake happy to be boating again thank you for your service.💪🤙😁🙏

They always are polite very customer oriented theyre awesome with our fishing boat they helped us install our downriggers and are Crab pot puller UPS and theyre also a locally own business where you can talk to the actual owner and he will figure out what is wrong with your boat motor and they are very proud to get your boat back to you in a timely matter

When my car died I was able to have it towed to Dave Power Automotive Marine. The staff was so helpful in diagnosing the problem. They give me two different quotes Im repairing my transmission. They were also very understanding when you needed some time to make a decision on what to do with my vehicle.

Very helpful in my repair of the boat engine.

Awesome guys. they know what they’re doing.

We are always impressed by Dave Power. Quality work, fair prices, and amazing employees.

Was able to schedule an appointment earlier due to minor work being done.

Wont take our cars anywhere else ever again!!! They fix it right the first time and on time.

The only place in Salem that I can take my vehicle and have peace of mind that the mechanics truly have honesty and integrity. Especially being a woman, as most mechanics target females to hustle them out of money. Hard to find this peace of mind!

Sold me a nice, used outboard, works great. I used it a lot during salmon season in both salt and fresh water so I had them tune it up for steelhead season. Didn’t have to wait long and reasonably priced for a good tuneup and a new prop.

I had such a good experience here! They were very good at communicating and making sure I knew what was going on with my car. I don’t know much about cars and these guys made sure to explain everything and make sure I was doing what’s best. I trust their work and what they recommend!

Friendly, helpful staff. Just stopped by, didnt have any work done

Dave knows his stuff. I really appreciate the way he talks to you with respect even when answering dumb questions.

They had my new fish finder installed within two hours of their opening. Always a great group to visit and very knowledgeable.

I love these guys! They have been taking care of my Suburban for 17 years. They let me know when they need to do more work and include an update on my estimate. I love their work.

I HIGHLY recommend Dave Power Automotive the next time you need auto repair! I took my car in for a tune -up & they did an amazing job! They also fixed my passenger side head lamp!!! I’ve had issues with it for years! They go above & beyond on working on your car & I can’t say enough great things about them!Next time you need any kind of work done in your car call Dave Power & ask for Henry!!

We were recommended here by some neighbors. We had awesome service. They were kind and even offered us a coupon that ended up saving us another $70. It was so nice of them to offer that without us even knowing about it. We appreciate that kind of customer service. They were mindful of our time frame for the day and got the job done in the time we needed. We will be back when we need work done in the future!

Many lies, excuses for giving lies, over charges, technician gross negligence causing failure of other components and billed for work not performed. Horrible shop and employees!

Went in because my 04 jeep grand Cherokee was having some battery charging issues. They replaced the wiring and alternator. Two days later the battery was dead again! Took it in they replaced the alternator under the warranty. A few days later it was dead again! I took it in they said that the brand new battery I had in there was bad. So I took the battery to were I purchased it and had them check it and there tester. It said the battery was fine. I dont know what to do at this point! Battery is still draining from somewhere. They were really nice though...

I have used them for eleven years! Never any issues.

Though they had my truck for a long period a time due to a shipment error of parts, they did a great job keeping me in the loop. Henry is a man of his word and I appreciate his customer service. They have my business.

They were so helpful kept my car until they found and fixed the problem. They didnt overcharge me i was soo happy with them they allowed my son and i to wait in the waiting room and Didnt get upset with his shenanigans definitely recommend everybody go here

Everyone at the shop was extremely friendly, honest, and professional, and I was very impressed with how reasonable their rates were. Ive definitely found my new mechanic!

Great work. Excellent communication.

From now on this is my shop! These people are honest and helped me find out what is wrong with my vw touareg. I took my car 6 times to different vw dealerships in Portland area and never fixed a thing. Dave power automotive and marine is the place to go to! They are the best!

Came in with a check engine light, left with a car that runs 10X better!! My mechanic Henry and all the staff there, worked with me to find the source of the issue quickly and resolve it in a timely manner. Good communication throughout the process and always looking out for the best possible prices. All through a pandemic!! Will swear by them in the future.

I trust very few businesses. Dave Powers Automotive and Marine has always been a pleasant experience and always top notch service . I am a repeat customer and always will be any time there is something that needs a professional

I absolutely won’t take our vehicles anywhere else.

I’ve been a customer at Dave Power for 19 years. I’ll check with them before I purchase a car to be certain they will work on it. I’ve brought them many different types of automobiles over the years. Henry, Steve, Aaron, and the rest of the team have been fabulous year after year. What a respectful and capable group of automotive expert’s. I am so grateful to Dave and his team and they are easy to refer to my friends and family.

I own a 2005 Ford F350 6 liter diesel, I have had Dave Powers do the work ever since we moved to Salem. I have always been extremely happy with the total e periance.Henry does a great job communicating the issues, price and time.I highly recommend Dave Powers

I stumbled onto Dave power automotive accidentally. Im from out of town and I had a situation with my car that needed to be addressed. I went in and asked and they sent some guy out he messed around for a few minutes next thing you know my problems gone. They would not accept any money for doing that so I would recommend these guys anytime day or night thank you

The people there are very good and helpfull

They treat your car as if it were their own. They are personable and deliver great service. They will tell you what you need and in their highly professional opinion, how best to service your vehicle. It’s a true gem to find an auto mechanic that is this trustworthy. Bart Baldwin

I have used this business for all of my boat maintenance each year and find that they do great work and are reliable and complete the work on time.

Always have a great time when I stop here.

I bought my Jeep a few years ago from a local dealer, it was beautiful build, with a HEMI swap. They told me the work had all been done by Dave Power Automotive. Fast forward a few years and I was having a few minor issues with it, decided to take it back to Dave Power as they were familiar with it. When I called to make an appointment they remembered the build and got me in pretty quick. They were quick, efficient and friendly...and it wound up being way less expensive than I had anticipated. I can’t recommend these guys enough!

Very nice guys over their to work with and always get the job done...

Dave Power Auto Repair- Fair and honest, I rate this business 11 out of 10. Thanks for you Service! JohnD

Professional, Honest, Great Value, ReliableDave & Henry kept us informed of the status of the repairs. Diagnosing one of the issues was extremely difficult because it only occurred occasionally. They were eventually able to find out what the problem was and repair it. With the repairs our truck runs better than it has in a long time!

Im a new customer to Dave Power A&M. With a 12 year old vehicle, things need attention such as a headlight that was out. I stopped in to make an appointment - they took care of it on the spot. My friend had a similar thing happen - I told her about my experience and she visited the shop. She was quite pleased.When my engine light came on, I stopped in. They looked at it and made a cursory inspection and found it didnt need urgent attention; we made an appointment. When I dropped it off, they took me home and then picked me up. In summary: Great service!

Heating and cooling on VW PASSAT Wagon 2003. Not an easy access / as lay person nightmare job. VW definitely had job security in mind for mechanics with design of this car. She was in the OPERATING ROOM for 10 hours, but Dave Powers has the right surgeon for the job. The Wag is back on the road, following a trip to the car shoe store and a mini spa day. Thank you Team Powers !

They have wonderful customer service and affordable service as well.

Dave Power Automotive Marine is outstanding. I relocated here from out of state had to find a new mechanic for my vehicles. Dave automotive and Marine has been outstanding and is very honest. I love how they are straightforward about what your vehicle needs are and are extremely helpful.

Great, honest, and very reasonable prices. Henry is a great person to assist you.

We have taken both the car & suv in there quite a few times. Our cars are both older &they always seem to know what is wrong with our cars and get it fixed in a very timely manner. I think their prices are very reasonable compared to other places we have gone. They treat us super...Highly recommend them!

Dave Power Automotive & Marine has a lot of reviews and I don’t think that I can say any better than so many of their customers have. Tell you this that I have been doing business with them on a Commercial and private level for about twenty years and have not one complaint about how well they treat their customers and the service work is tops on my cars and my boatsIf Dave is not in I know I can trust Henry to give the same professionalism that Dave has over the years.

Having moved here a couple of months ago, finding a new mechanic is always stressful, but the guys at Dave Power Auto have been extremely kind, helpful and honest.I’d have already recommended them to coworkers and friends here in Salem. Thank you!

Daves always takes such great care of our cars and boat. We trust their diagnosis and they get us in and done in a reasonable amount of time!! They do a great job. I think Gomer Pile might work there :)

Great customer service, good company to deal with.

These guys have integrity and are great at what they do. Totally hooked me up with my boat - knew what I was talking about and did it just like I asked. The work was done right and they delivered on time. If you need it done, go to Dave Power

I just bought a used 2010 boat. Daves crew got me in to get the boat checked out along with my SUV wired for the trailer just in a couple of days. They are the best at doing this work and getting done on time. Dan.F

Good service, honest nice guys.

They are the best. Have trusted them with almost every vehicle I’ve owned. I Highly recommend them.

Replaced Brovo 1 prop shaft and bearings

I have always had a distrust of mechanics. The guys Dave Powers came highly recommended, and I am so glad I took a chance! I cant say enough good about them!!

Dave Power is the best in town for car, and boats. Hes been fixing my vechiles and boats for over 20 years. Honest and very reliable.

They always take great care of me and my car! They are always so fast and efficient! I Trust them and send all my friends there!

Always nice to stop an visit with Dave

Dave and his crew are extremly good at what they do. Theyre the only shop Ill go to. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful work!

They always do an amazing job. Honest, loyal, professional. Id never take a rig anywhere else

Travis was the technician that worked on my vehicle! He was swift and easy to work with! Car is running like a dream! Thanks 😊

I had my bearings fixed. They also fixed my brakes. Honest crew and very nice. Would definitely return with any mechanical issues I may have!🌝

Recently we took our Miata in to have the A/C checked out. It was blowing hot air. While we had the car in the shop we decided to have Dave Power mechanics to do an inspection. They found a few things that needed servicing, transmission fluid change and oil change in the differential and the fuel filter. It was a quick turn around and picked up our car. The next day we drove it around doing errands and noticed a strong fuel smell. We called Dave Power and Henry said to bring it back. The same day they called and said they found a faulty fuel filter they had installed. They replaced it at no charge. Dave Power stands by their work. They do all the maintenance on our vehicles. They never pressure you to make repairs nor do they suggest any unnecessary repairs. We trust their judgment and work. We highly recommend Dave Power for all your automotive repairs.

These guys are the best! I will only bring my vehicles to Dave power automotive and marine from now on. They saved me a ton of money by discovering many issues with my Tacoma before they got out of hand which saved me a lot on labor costs. They went above and beyond and sourced out parts at the cheapest cost and made my stressful situation a whole lot easier. I cant say enough about how great these guys are, and they are lightning quick about getting the job done. I really appreciate you all for everything you did and making my old truck run like a brand new one. Cheers!

These guys have work on a couple of my vehicles and Ive always felt like I was getting honest advise and a square deal for the work theyve done.

I have been with Dave for over 30 years. You wont find a more honest repair shop!!! If I could I would give them a 10 star rating.They go the extra mile to fix the problems. Thanks -- to Dave; and his great mechanics.
