Alewife Auto very much; very honest and have always described the issues and the options we could take. They are usually busy but if you go in and tell them you have the light on they will check it to root out the problem; ask for George or Mike.
I've had really good experiences with Arco in Teele Square - they are not just tires. They saved me $2k the day after xmas when they told me they could just patch my exhaust system on a car I wasn't going to hold on to much longer. Took care of me quickly and were very honest.
Car Zone in Union Square is, without a doubt, the best garage/mechanic I've ever used in my life. Murph and his team are honest, fairly-priced, and incredibly helpful in keeping an older car alive. We have a 1993 Corolla that we use as our in-town car that, while not pretty, is still running almost 300k miles in thanks to him and his team.
While not right in Davis, it's a short walk to Bloc 11, Neighborhood Bakery, or other places to hang out while they do the work.
