Maryland Heights Auto Repair

David did a great job working on our van. We had taken it to the dealer for an oil change and they came back with over $4000 of work that needed to be done. We were referred to Quality Automotive and they fixed what needed to be done for a third of the price and told us a couple things that didn’t even need to be done. I highly recommend them!

We were referred to David, and glad we were. My husband broke his door handle off. David worked with our schedule, and gave us a bid before doing the job. You can’t tell it has a new handle. Highly recommend.

David is an excellent mechanic and a straight shooter. Highly recommended. Great prices too

I have been bringing my car here for 5 years. Dave Marks, the owner, has always done an outstanding job. His prices are very fair, he gets the work done promptly and on time.

David is a great person and a trustworthy mechanic. He lets you know up front what the cost is and his best recommendation on what should be done. I highly recommend Quality Automotive.

I have had work done by Quality Automotive and I bought a car from Dave. He's always been candid, fast, and easy to work with. His estimates have been accurate and I always felt like my business mattered to him personally. Bottom line? I trust him, his work and his pricing. I don't know many businesses I can endorse as fully as QA.

Excellent service! I will return for any other repairs.

He bought a rebuilt cylinder head from us. He installed it and it ran for about 15 minutes and then something happened as the motor stopped running. It wouldn't restart. He said it wouldn't start because we installed bent valves in the head which is ridiculous. The head jumped time while it was running, bent the valves, and then it had no compression and wouldn't restart. Regardless, we sent another head and he decided to check the valves using water. It, not surprisingly, seeped some water past the valves. No rebuilder checks valves this way. We use a vacuum tester which is what rebuilders use. A small amount of valve leakage is permissible since the leakage will disappear once the engine runs for awhile and the valves seat. He made a big deal out of this. Cussed at everybody he talked to. We said to return the heads we sent him and we would just write it off and give him a refund. He returned the first head with the bent valves and his core head. He convinced ebay that he returned both our heads. He did not. We were forced to give him a full refund and he stole one of our heads. I can only imagine what this crook would do to a customer of his who had a complaint about repairs he makes to their vehicle. I notice another reviewer gave him a similar review for not being up front and honest.

Dave's a great guy and a great mechanic. Thanks for keeping our fleet on the road! We take all our vehicles here and recommend Quality Automotive to everyone who asks for a mechanic.
