Dave D.

It is safe to say that every shop needs a Dave. Dave, is one of those versatile employees that knows the collision repair trade inside-and-out for cars, trucks and RVs. Dave, has acquired his skill set by working in the automotive industry since 1986. Born in the Phoenix valley, Dave, is a native and began his career in high school, wrenching on cars in his spare time. His father was always working on cars, and automotive repair originally started as a hobby for Dave. A member of the ROTC program at his high school, and an aviation enthusiast, Dave had originally planned on going into the Air Force after high school. Due to an unforeseen event, he was not able to join the Air Force and instead transitioned into his profession as a master of many automotive trades. Today, Dave is very happy to be working at Ultimate Collision. Ultimate Collision is the first shop in his professional career where he enjoys waking up every day and going work.Dave has had the opportunity to work on lots of Cars and Trucks over the years. His favorite project was re-painting his Father’s 1966 Ford F100 short bed truck. The truck was originally a tangerine orange color and was in dire need of a restoration. Dave restored the truck for his father and painted the truck an “orange crate” color that was inspired by a 1960’s Schwinn bicycle. This custom paint color was mixed by Ultimate Collision specifically for that truck. When Dave is not working on cars, he enjoys spending time with his wife Cynthia and working with his church. Dave is involved with the Wounded Warriors foundation and one of his favorite ways to spend time outside the shop is taking members of the Wounded Warriors on fishing trips and getting out in nature.
