Broadway Motor & Mufflers

Context: 1965 Mustang convertible that my father was original owner and now I enjoy.
Needed a mechanic who is skilled in repairing vintage cars. More importantly a mechanic who could be trusted as old cars always need work. Dave, the owner, totally offers this level of service. He did mention items he found beyond what I brought the car in for and was reasonable about urgency, sorting out what must be repaired as opposed to nice to have fixed.
Will bring all my cars to him in the future.

Dave, the owner, ROCKS! He has done my brakes, transfer case, throttle body, internal engine work, etc. Honest and knowledgeable to say the least. Dave has done work on my family vehicles and has always made me feel like I am his top priority. I have referred several people to him and they, too, have had great results.

They didn’t do any work for me, but Dave was completely honest up front and ended up referring me to the nearby shop because they were very busy that day. I really appreciate his honesty and would definitely try them again.

One of my co workers actually suggested broadway motor and mufflers to me.
Dave knows exactly what he’s doing. I drive a Honda. and I know simple things about how to fix my car. but when my check engine light came on I had to bring my car to Dave one more time. Thinking my repair was gonna be like $ 500. YIKES! turns out it was multiple things that was causing it. he quoted me a $ 300 but he only charged me $ 120! if you really want a good and honest mechanic that knows what he’s doing take your car to dave! I come all the way from San Leandro. I dont trust my car with anyone else besides myself and Dave.

I came here because they had so many great reviews, and now I’m adding one more. I needed an oil change (badly), and I was worried about my tires. Dave reassured me about the tires and changed the oil. It shouldn’t be noteworthy that I got what I came for, but after a recent horrible experience at the local Toyota dealership, I wasn’t taking anything for granted. And he made me laugh, and that’s always a plus. :)

It’s hard to find an honest mechanic these days. Let’s be honest. Well if you’re in the Dublin area and you need a reliable, honest, affordable guy, then Dave is your man. This is the second time I’ve taken my car in. First was for brakes, now an alternator. He did a great job both times. He has my recommendation!

If you choose to take your vehicle to Broadway, be prepared to deal with an honest, ethical and professional staff. You’ll be in good hands as Dave accepts your business, provides reasonable completion dates and fair prices. When speaking with him, it’s obvious Dave knows his cars and technics. Don’t let him fool you, he’s a perfectionist and his work proves it.

My whole family has been coming to Dave forever!!! He is the best!!! Doesn’t matter what kind of car. I have brought my BMW, Acura, jeep, ford explores… He is honest and stands by his word. If you really
Want to get on his good side tell a funny joke! :)

As a former aircraft mechanic, I know a thing or two about machines and I could do most of the work on my car when I have the tools. However, when it comes to a job that I am either too lazy to do, or lack the proper equiptment to do so myself, I bring my car here. They are basically your good hometown mechanics that you would tell your freinds about. Out of all the places arround, they were the only ones who passed my honesty check, and were value priced. The others around here are either cheap or honest, not both. Broadway is both. Don’t be scared of the bird or the pirate, literally. LOL you’ll see what I mean if you go there. Guys always take the time to explain the job they did. They don’t do tires or allignments, but just about everything else is fair game. One word of advise though. There are really only two guys who work here and you sometimes need to call a few days in advance to get an appointment due thier limited staff and probably relatively high demand. Just so you know I found this place by calling all of the shops around here for quotes and they were lowest price by a large margin. On top of that, they never try to upsell me on stuff like some other place I went to get tires here in town. Honest and nice guys who know thier automobiles. Been here al least half a dozen times and always leave satisfied. They even seem to fill my fluids and bleed my brakes without charging me, basically my car always leaves driving better than when I brought it in. Finally, these guys are so cool, they even helped me out by letting me use thier air tools to get a stubborn bolt off even though I was not paying them for that, but since they recognized me, they helped me out.

I’ve been taking cars to Dave and Josh at Broadway since about 2005, and my wife even earlier than that. I couldn’t ask for a better pair of mechanics.
In their garage you’ll see every kind of car and truck, old and new. I have brought them a Nissan pickup, a Toyota Corolla, a Mazda MX-​6, and a Mazda 6 S Wagon. Josh and Dave have done outstanding work on all of these cars at a very reasonable price.
Take my Mazda 6 S Wagon for example. It was having a lot of vibration at speed. The dorks at Wheel Works on Regional in Dublin said it was because of cupping on the tires. Turns out it was the front wheel bearings. Wheel Works either a) did not know enough about cars to know the difference between bad wear on tires and more serious mechanical problems, or b) just wanted to sell tires. Either way, you are better off going to Broadway Muffler for any kind of work more serious than an oil change (they don’t do that). I thought the car needed front and rear brakes, but they did only the rears because the fronts were OK. Some garages fix things and ask questions later. Josh and Dave are exactly the opposite.
They do their best to explain what is wrong with the car and when the work is done, they’ll show you the pieces that needed replacing so you can have a better sense of what was going on. These guys are scientists as much as they are mechanics. They know cars well but they are also happy to explain things to you without being condescending. I know women who swear by them too, and it’s because Broadway doesn’t pull the sexist BS that some mechanics do.
As for the cost of the work, it is very competitive. They gave me a lower price on shock and strut replacement on my Mazda 6 than Wheel Works could offer, even with a coupon. If you have a choice between paying too much cash to a bunch of know-​nothing monkeys or a reasonable amount to two of the most honest, knowledgeable, fair guys in the city, that should be an easy decision. The only work I took somewhere else after an estimate was for the clutch on my Mazda MX-​6, which I took to Tri-​Valley Clutch (another good mechanic).
Last but not least, Dave is a real Renaissance man – I’ve talked with him about physics, linguistics, literature. He’s a beekeeper too – an interesting guy. Basically there’s no reason to take your car anywhere else, unless you just need an oil change.

A few others used the phrase service with integrity. I agree completely! Straight forward, honest service. I brought my wife’s car in expecting to replace the brakes. He checked them and told me they were fine and even explained the squeaks.
I’m brining it in next week for a tune up.

Dave & Josh are superb mechanics. When we moved to Dublin our neighbor recommended Dave to us. We completely trust him and know he’d never steer us wrong. Having to spend money on car repair just bites. But you’ll never be taken advantage of at this shop. Thanks Dave!

My father had been taking his company vehicles to David for years, so when I began a string of unfortunate happenstances, he was the only person we even thought to go to. He’s honest, does stellar work, and is an all around wonderful person. This is over many years and multiple vehicles, not a single negative or questionable experience.
I’ve just had my first accident in 12 years of driving, and as much as it sucks, at least I know David will get it taken care of. HE ROCKS!

I have now found my own personal mechanic! WO HO! if ever I have a question about my car or even dealerships in the area, Dave is the go-​to man! These guys are knowledgeable and most of all HONEST! I recommend HIGHLY for Broadway Dave as your own personal mechanic!

I’ve taken a virtual potpourri of vehicles over the years to Dave, who is a true virtuoso of automotive wizardry! They are honest, hard-​working locals who know their way through the entire automotive gamut; and will treat you kindly, fairly, and get your particular form of transportation back where it belongs!

I’ve been going to Dave at Broadway motor in Dublin for over 10 years now and have never had a bad experience there. I went there by accident (looking for the AAA approved place next door and got it mixed up with Dave’s place.) What a happy accident!
They have always been completely honest with me and believe me, being a female I’ve had garage mechanics try to rip me off all the time. Those crooks across the street at Midas did an oil change for me and told me I needed new brakes for $ 1000. I took it across the street to Dave at Broadway and he said my brakes were fine. When was the last time you had a mechanic tell you you didn’t need work done? These guys are fantastic and I mentioned they were HONEST didn’t I? :)
I always love to say «hi» to their parrot too. Get past the no frills environment and go to Dave.

David the Owner aka Pirate fixed my VW Jetta the same day I called in frantic… to be exact it took less than 3 hours.
My sister has taken her Honda CRV there and recommended him. I think my Dad goes there as well.
David knows a lot about cars and won’t stiff you. You know how you get that eerie feeling like you are getting taken for a run. Well this is the first time ever! I never felt that.
He replaced the necessary parts and showed me the old ones. I told some of my buddy friends and they agreed he was well known around town for his good, affordable work.
I would recommend this place for any type of vehicle. Watch out for the parrot!
