Our Story

17 Years of Honest Service

DPS Auto Repair Inc was founded in 2007 with a simple mission: provide honest, quality automotive service to Newark and East Bay communities without the games or gimmicks common in the industry. Owner Dave Martinez started the shop after working for years at dealerships and larger chains, frustrated by the pressure to oversell customers and the impersonal service that came with corporate ownership. Dave wanted to create a different kind of auto repair experience - one where customers could trust the diagnosis, understand the work being done, and feel confident they were getting fair value for their money. Over the past 17 years, that philosophy has built DPS into one of Newark's most trusted automotive service providers. The shop has grown from Dave working alone to a team of four skilled technicians and service advisors, but the core values remain unchanged. Every customer interaction starts with listening carefully to their concerns, explaining problems clearly, and providing honest recommendations based on safety and necessity, not profit margins. The team at DPS takes pride in solving complex problems that other shops might miss, using their combined decades of experience alongside modern diagnostic equipment. From the family with an older Honda that needs to last another few years to the small business owner whose work trucks can't afford downtime, DPS approaches each repair with the same attention to detail and commitment to getting it right. This dedication to quality and honesty has earned the shop a 4.8-star rating from over 39 Google reviews, with customers consistently praising the transparent communication and fair pricing. Many clients have been bringing their vehicles to DPS for years, trusting the team with everything from basic maintenance to major repairs. It's this loyal customer base and strong community reputation that continues to drive the business forward, one satisfied customer at a time.

"We fix cars the way we'd want ours fixed - honestly, thoroughly, and at a fair price."
