ABOUT

About Dave Mays Automotive

Dave Mays was obtaining his PhD in Entomology from the University of Florida when he started working on cars to support himself. As his skill level grew, he just knew that he could do a much better job repairing cars for the community than was currently available in Gainesville. Thus he created his own business. Dave Mays Automotive was founded officially in 1975, located in the Hughs Edwards Industrial Park in northeast Gainesville. He established his customer base through word of mouth and always showing the utmost concern for the customers needs and budget. His hard work was rewarded in 2006 when he was able to build a beautiful new 10 bay shop just across the street from his original location. 
The new building has all new equipment, diagnostic computers, and plenty of space for the technicians to repair all makes and models. Which will be continually updated as needed. In 2018, Dave met another local mechanic, Brian Decker, and the two became very good friends. Brian Decker has been helping people repair and maintain their cars for almost 30 years at that time. Brian asked if he could work for Dave until Dave retires, and then purchase the company from him at that point. And now, Brian and his wife Jenneina would like to welcome everybody to their wonderful business, where they not only repair cars, but they invest in their customers well being by providing honest, friendly, and competent service. We know you have choices and we thank you for choosing Dave Mays Automotive.
