“Dave is the most knowledgeable car expert I’ve ever met. His expertise in cars transcends the traditional “car guy” head knowledge and encompasses any particular mechanism, part, function, or detail related to cars. Not just any car though, ALL CARS. Classic cars, everyday cars, luxury cars, high-end cars, it doesn’t matter. I would recommend Dave if you’re looking for someone who can act as a fiduciary who can give you third-party, unbiased information and support before a car purchase, before a repair, after an accident or in maintaining a classic collection. Simply put, Dave is a Rock Star and you won’t find anyone more efficient and more knowledgeable.”Mathew Wilheim
