I popped in unannounced(wrong place) for an oil change. They were great! Fit me in. I was out of there in 30 minutes. I would recommend them anytime!

Update (7/14/2023):I have been taking my truck to this place since Bob was the owner, and since Rafael became the new owner, I have continued to take my truck here. The quality of service is just as good and Rafael is an honest, helpful mechanic.(Original review:)Quality work and honest. I have been taking my current and previous Ford F150 pick-up to his shop for a few years with no problems. In my experience, Bob will not charge you more than necessary, but he will do quality work and make sure the job is done right.I first checked out Bob's Auto after a friend recommended it and after getting a ridiculous price quote from a Discount Tires shop for replacing upper ball joints on my Ford pickup ($400 including labor). When I came to Bob's Auto, he charged about half the price for parts & labor. Later, when I took my truck to replace the PCV valve, Bob gave me a price quote that included replacing the hose. However, after his mechanic finished, he only charged me for the PCV valve itself, and told me the hose was still in good shape. A dishonest mechanic could have easily done the hose as originally planned and charged more.I have also conversed with one of the shop's main mechanics, Chris, who is not only knowledgeable about cars at the hands-on level, but has an extensive education and experience giving actual classes on car mechanics. He is both handy and "book-smart" about cars. I would recommend Bob's Auto 100% and am confident the job is getting done right for a reasonable price.Added later: I remember another experience that highlights the honesty of this shop. I was doing an oil change on a friend's vehicle, but the oil filter was screwed on too tight and I broke the oil filter wrench I had used in an attempt to loosen the filter. I brought the car to Bob's Auto and asked if they could loosen the oil filter. After the mechanic successfully loosened it, I asked Bob how much I should pay. Bob refused to take any money for the shop, and told me to simply give some cash to the mechanic who had taken off the filter.

I have taken my cars to Bob"s several times over te years. Rafael is a master mechanic and can fix anything. He also put a new catalytic converter on for me. Very reasonably priced also. I highly recommend them. Ask for Rafael.

Had some squeaking brakes and since we will be headed over some mountain passes, we have Bob a call. He got us in same day and we received quick professional service. We highly recommend Bob's Automotive.

Very honest here. A tire shop stripped one of my lug nuts and could not remove 1 time. I took it to Bob's and they were able to get it off for me. They quoted me 50 dollars but when I went to pick up, they only charged $35. That's pretty darn honest... I agreed to 50. :)

The poster (Azurae Aldrete) who posted the bad review for Bob's Automotive has posted a fraudulent review. I know this because 1) It was Memorial Day and Bob's Shop wasn't even open and 2) They came to my shop (West Coast Smog) which is next door to Bob's, and yes we were closed and we do not have air for customers to use. This person was directed to another shop in our same complex that was open for business and they never even tried to ask them for air. I also have surveillance (both audio and video) footage of this incident to show how these 2 individuals have lied about what actually happened that day.BTW Bob's Auto has done many repairs to my vehicles over the years and I only wish every auto repair shop took pride in their work as Bob's does.Thanks to Bob and the crew!

I took my car to bobs automotive to fix a head gasket and I have never received such BAD SERVICE in my life. When we first came in they said it would cost one price and then the next day they said it would cost double. We could tell they were trying to TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US so we decided to take the car to a different mechanic. When we went to pick up the car they were nothing but RUDE to us. They demanded that we paid them for their time (a ridiculous high price). we paid the bill and were ready to get out of there but they couldn't find the key to our car. THEY LOST THE KEY TO OUR CAR! They told us they would call us when they find it. We were shocked at the amount of unprofessionalism they were showing and asked for our money back until they found the key to our car and they refused! The owner of the business used the words "sorry, that's just how it is". NEVER BRING YOUR CAR TO BOBS AUTOMOTIVE! They are rude, unprofessional thieves!

100 for a Saturn Aura ignition switch (just the electrical) 200 for labor. It's a 40 dollar part. Called another shop, they said it's an hour labor to fix, tops. Still having issues starting the car, turns out they replaced wrong part, it was the ignition lock cylinder that was sticking, not the wiring that they replaced.Called on three separate occasions and they have not returned my calls to order the new part to fix. Shady business practices, do not trust this place. Shame on you Bob (the owner) for conducting business this way, enjoy the 350+ dollars I feel you stole from me. How can you sleep at night knowing you con hard working people out of their hard earned money?

Bob did an awesome job on my 56 Ford. After it was mechanically destroyed.. The only place to go if you have a 50s Ford. He is the bomb.
