ABOUT ME
My name is Dave McDonald.
I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience in total automotive care. Cars aren’t just my job—they’re my passion. I believe everyone deserves dealership-level quality service without paying dealership prices.
I’m proudly from Jamaica, and I came to the United States with one goal: to chase my dream and build my American Dream through hard work, skill, and integrity. Along the way, I discovered my true calling as an automotive technician. But I also saw something that didn’t sit right with me—too much dishonesty in the auto repair industry. So I took a stand.
I built my business on honesty, transparency, and respect. No upselling. No scare tactics. Just real diagnostics, fair pricing, and quality work done the right way. I treat every vehicle as if my own family were driving it.
Today, I proudly serve the Columbus, Ohio metro area, helping:
Hard-working mothers and fathers
Families trying to make ends meet
Young and new drivers who just need a safe, reliable car
Your safety matters. Your trust matters. And your money matters.
When it comes to your vehicle, don’t trust just anyone—trust someone who stands behind their work and their word.
“Real work, real talk, real trust — one love, one mechanic.”

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customer Say
“As a single mom, car problems are terrifying because I don’t have extra money to waste. Dave treated me with so much respect and honesty. He explained everything in plain English, showed me what actually needed fixing, and didn’t pressure me at all. My car is running better than it has in years. Dave the Mechanic is someone you can truly trust.”
Sarah M. | Westerville, OH
Single Mother | Healthcare Worker
“I’m a student on a tight budget and thought I was going to be stuck without a car. Dave worked with me, fixed only what was necessary, and charged way less than the shops I called. He even gave me advice on what could wait until later. That meant a lot. If you’re a student, this is the mechanic you want.”
Jamal R. | Columbus, OH
College Student | Part-Time Worker
“Dave is hands down the most honest mechanic I’ve ever met. Other shops tried to upsell me thousands of dollars in repairs I didn’t need. Dave came out, diagnosed the issue, and fixed it for a fraction of the cost. He’s professional, punctual, and genuinely cares about people—not just money.”
Maria L. | Grove City, OH
Small Business Owner | Mother of Two
“I value quality and transparency, and Dave delivers both. His work is dealership-level, but without the ridiculous prices. He took the time to walk me through the repair process and answered every question. You can tell he takes pride in his craft. I won’t trust my vehicles with anyone else.”
Brian K. | Dublin, OH
Corporate Professional | Family Man
“Dave helped my family when money was very tight. He understood our situation and made sure our car was safe for our kids without pushing unnecessary repairs. He treated us like family. It’s hard to find someone this honest and kind in the auto industry. Dave is a blessing to the community.”
