Dave has worked on my and my parents' cars for years. He
is honest, reliable, and does not do unnecessary repairs.
There is no one like him for Volvo repairs, and his "car
care basics class" is unbelievable. I hope I never have to
change my own flat (that's what husbands and AAA are for,
right?), but if I do, I will know how to do it safely,
thanks to Dave.

Dave and his associate Kevin, in addition to being straight
up guys, have a massive, GOOD vinyl collection, right at
the shop. If you're hanging out around the garage waiting
for your vehicle to be done, or for one of them to get off
the phone, they'll gesture over to the records, you pick
one, and Dave puts it on for you.
All my girlfriends go to Dave and Kevin because they treat
women PARTICULARLY well. Nothing creepy, and they know
we're smart, maybe just underexposed to the finer points of
automobile repair and maintainence. Which they will
expound upon. A lot.
Dave's the owner. He's had the business for a lot of
years. He does car care workshops for his customers,
teaching how to change oil, check fluids, do minor repairs.
He always donates the fee to a nonprofit organization.
When you're in Vermont, and you see the volvos running
around with their little DNA oval euro stickers on the
back, you'll know you're in Dave Nilsen Auto country!

Dave is very competent, fixes only what needs to be fixed
(doesn't invent work), and gives great advice regarding
repairs and maintenance. I recommend him to everyone.
