Hi, I’m Dave, owner and technician at Dave’s Quality Auto Service.
I’ve spent more than 30 years diagnosing and repairing vehicles in Southern California, including experience with Firestone, Toyota, and BMW dealerships. Today, I bring that experience directly to customers as a professional mobile mechanic serving San Diego County.
My background includes ASE certification, BMW and Toyota factory training, California Bureau of Automotive Repair licensing, MACS air-conditioning certification, and an associate degree in electricity.
That combination of dealership experience and electrical training helps me diagnose difficult problems accurately instead of replacing parts based only on a trouble code.
When you call Dave’s Quality Auto Service, you communicate directly with the person inspecting and repairing your vehicle—not a salesperson, service writer, or call center.
My goal is simple: identify the real problem, explain your options clearly, and help you make a sensible repair decision without unnecessary upselling or dealership pricing.

Warning lights, electrical problems, overheating, weak air conditioning, and drivability complaints are rarely solved by simply replacing the first part mentioned by a trouble code.
At Dave’s Quality Auto Service, your vehicle is tested before parts are recommended. Dave draws on decades of experience with Firestone, Toyota, BMW, domestic, Asian, European, hybrid, and classic vehicles to identify the actual cause of the problem.
You deal directly with the technician inspecting and repairing your vehicle—not a salesperson, service writer, or call center.

A trouble code identifies the system detecting a problem—it does not automatically identify the failed part. Proper diagnosis may require circuit testing, live-data analysis, fuel-trim evaluation, smoke testing, or additional mechanical checks.
Dave investigates the cause before recommending a repair, helping you avoid wasting money on unnecessary parts.
Adding refrigerant without finding the cause may only provide temporary relief. Your system can be checked for leaks, pressure problems, electrical faults, compressor operation, and cooling performance.
Dave services both traditional R134a systems and newer R1234yf air-conditioning systems.
An overheating engine can quickly turn a manageable repair into serious engine damage. Cooling-system diagnosis may include pressure testing, leak detection, thermostat and water-pump evaluation, fan operation, and checking for signs of internal engine problems.
Intermittent electrical failures require more than a basic code reader. Dave’s dealership experience and electrical training help locate wiring faults, failed components, battery drains, charging-system problems, and communication issues between vehicle control modules.
Some repairs can be completed conveniently at your home or workplace without leaving your vehicle at a shop. Dave evaluates the problem first and explains what should be repaired now, what can wait, and whether the job is appropriate for mobile service.
Avoid towing your vehicle or losing hours in a dealership waiting room. Dave brings professional tools and diagnostic equipment to homes and workplaces throughout San Diego County.
Mobile service is available by appointment. Send the vehicle’s year, make, model, location, and a brief description of the problem for the fastest response.
