5+ years ago I took a chance on BVA rather than going to my local Lexus dealer, as I was accustomed to doing (the free, fresh cookies were nice) and I am so thankful that I did. Not only is BVA cheaper and faster, but you immediately get a feeling of 100% trust from these people. A small business with the same faces day in and day out. I now take my Honda Accord and Lexus RX 350 there for regular maintenance and all major repair work. Never once have I regretted it. I miss the fresh-made cookies from my Lexus dealership, but I absolutely love the people, prices and service at BVA and, again, I have TOTAL trust and confidence in them. There's really no comparison.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Oil change

After nearly being scammed at the Toyota dealer service department (they tried to tell me that I needed $1,500.00 of unnecessary work) I called BVA to double check. My car has 50,000 miles and those services are done at 100,000 miles. When my wife s car needed service we went to BVA. They were honest, kept their promises and did a great job. We will be coming here from now on.

Our daughter recommended BVA for car service but we wanted to see what they could do with a broken tail light. They ordered the parts and told us to come back in a couple of day and have it replaced. We did. Great job. Thank you.

Professional, courteous, honest, fair, fast.... You can tell a lot about a place by the way it looks and feels. Clean, uncluttered, manicured, orderly -- like a well-run OR in a first rate hospital. You can also get a real idea of the quality of the care when you are treated courteously and professionally. And the service and work is top rate....If you are lucky enough to have an auto repair facility like BVA in your life, well, you are lucky! Wish I had found them years ago....

I went into BVA Auto on a recommendation from a friend - my Prius (2013) had a check engine light on. Never a good sign, and we were about to move.Manuel met me at the door, asked a few questions, then determined it was likely just a loose gas cap. Sure enough.He didn't charge me a dime, and they reset my check engine light while they were added.Honest folks are still around in the Auto Mechanic field. These guys are the real deal.

I came in for a break job, I let my rears go too far they came up with a fix that was far more reasonable than the dealer and got it done quickly, while my car might be still under warranty I will be going here for all of my basic maintenance from now on. Once my car is out of warranty they will most likely be reparing it also.

I phoned them to fix my light. They quoted a price and I brought it in. When I arrived, they discovered that my light was covered by an extended mfr. warranty and told me to take it to the mfr. service department to get it fixed for free. I don't know very many places that would take the time to look this up, then cancel their service and tell me it would be covered for free elsewhere. Pretty honest folks.

Cannot find another auto repair shop more efficient or honest!!! They have customers driving back from out-of-state for repairs & tune-ups! They are always friendly, helpful & courteous. And they're on top of new auto technology!!!

Dependable, honest and friendly. BVA stands behind their work, always. BVA has serviced my last 3 Volvos since 1980. BVA also stands for Best Volvo Around.
