I went here after I saw the review stating that this is "the mechanic that you are forever in search for". That was completely truthful, I am greatful for the service that Dave provided me and I will absolutely be back the next time I need more work done on my car.

I think it’s free or at least less expensive to take my car to the dealership for tune-ups, but I never would because I trust Nelson’s 100%. I think it’s been 15 or 20 years by now and it’s never been anything but top-level quality of work and honest communication.

We had a great experience with Dave. We wanted to get our Subaru looked at for a variety of minor issues and strange noises. In the process he discovered that our rear brakes were completely rusted up . He gave us an itemized list of all the work and parts, explained everything, and let us decide what we wanted to get done. We wound up going for everything as recommended by him. Best of all, the work was pretty quick! Great shop, very trustworthy.

Dave at Nelson’s has been my primary mechanic since I moved to Maplewood 20+ years ago. If you value integrity, experience and professionalism, then I highly recommend Nelson’s for all of your domestic or foreign auto repair / maintenance needs. Dave will always give you an honest assessment of the repairs that are really required at reasonable prices and he’ll never try to “upsell” you on repairs that your car really doesn’t need. I also know that I can trust Nelson’s to perform quality work on my cars with the utmost attention to detail.

You know that mechanic you are forever in search of? With the expertise to troubleshoot any problem you may have, the intellect to anticipate your underlying needs and recommend preemptive maintenance, and the morality to do it all with your safety and best interest front and center? Yeah, that mechanic is Dave. When he and Ginny finally retire, there'll be a collective wail heard throughout Maplewood, South Orange, and Millburn.

Dave is an honest and straight forward mechanic. His pricing is competitive with other quotes I've seen, and much less expensive overall than dealerships. Most important, his work is excellent! Nice guy too; tolerates the endless questions from my automotive-mechanically un-inclined head! Only difficulty would be casually making a last minute appointment - though he'll try to fit in those in a bind; but, hey, he's busy! and that's a good thing. Train station location. Basically, Dave can't be beat.

I could not have had a worse experience with Nelson's. My car needed very basic repairs- they took an exceptionally long time and overcharged what I was quoted without advising me ahead of time. The receptionist was unpleasant and rude. Literally every aspect of my interactions were terrible. Use any other garage.
