Best 12 Auto Repair Shops Near near Me in Bakersfield, CA (Update 2025)

Ralph Mccracken I went in because of an error signal. I spoke with Miss Karen and mechanic Adam and they were the most friendly professional and honest car dealership. I’ve dealt with it 100 years.

Erich Matt Let me put it this way, if they cant figure it out youre going to be in for trouble. They always look out for you and try to get you the best prices on parts that are needed. No run around, straight forward and honest. Shop techs are wizards, reception is very friendly. They can fix it, smog, and generalge get it done. They figured out my wifes AC when the techs at the dealership couldnt. Theyve helped me out immensely on more then 1 occasion when I couldnt resolve the problem. Theres a reason why they are rated so high, because they are good.

Terry Tanner I took my car in for new brakes, pads, and rotors all the way around. Adam called me and asked why I thought I needed new brakes? I was told that I should change my brakes when I got an oil change at another shop. My brakes were 70 percent good. So he rotated the tires, and I was very happy. Another place probably would have just changed them. Tanner, Karen, and Adam, the mechanic who called me, were very friendly and professional. I recommend this place very highly.

Charles Chafin The work done was good. The timeliness was 2-star. I would certainly use this service again if not an urgent matter. Very friendly people here.

Elizabeth Sampson VERY HONEST DUDE, GREAT ATTITUDE AND VERY THOROUGH WITH HIS WORK. WE WILL DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

Mark Great experience at this place. Scotty diagnosed and fixed my car in less than 24 hours. He stayed a little extra after hours so I could pick up a car rental. Wish this shop was closer to home because he would get my business every single time. He charged a fair price and was honest about everything. Highly recommend!

Cesar M Salgado Ive taken two vehicles to get repaired and each time its been a great experience. They were able to fix each car that same day and was surprisingly very affordable. These guys are trustworthy, honest, good mechanics.

Roberto rosales If I could give this place more stars I would but they got my car needs done. Its hard to use trusting and mechanic in the same sentence sometimes but I trust this place and their automotive technicians with my car from now on. Chris and his crew helped me get an engine swap and its running like new again. It was a process finding someone in town to do this tedious work but they facilitated my cars needs and well so thank you again guys!

Dianna Coryell This is the place i go to have my cars diagnosed and repaired- Chris and Vicky are great people and always make time to fit me in and have my car ready when they say. I’ve sent my family and friends to them also and know they will do them right as well.

Corby Garay Very honest and communicative. No surprises! We’ve used this shop for many years (we keep our vehicles forever!) and have always been very happy with their work. From engines to transmissions!! Bill, Liz & Rob are all to be commended.

Ashton VanZant The guys at Precision Automotive are top notch! Our Ford Econoline had a catastrophic wheel failure about an hour north of Bakersfield in the middle of the night. Had it towed into town and dropped off at Precision Automotive based off their reviews and AAA partnership. When they opened up they got the van in first thing and got to work. We quickly realized that the front spindle was going to need replaced, after a tough time sourcing one we worked together and I grabbed a used one from a junkyard. Once I dropped the part off gave them a couple of hours and the van was ready and back on the road! While these guys specialize in import vehicles they were top notch in fitting my van in, getting it fixed quickly and well, and all at a very reasonable price! While I don’t live in Bakersfield I will definitely add their info to my contacts incase I need work done again! Thanks again guys!

rinzler 2400 Went to get my car checked out after it was making some odd noises, ended up getting a quote for parts and labor of ~14k to fix it, which was still going to use very used parts with zero warranty. Took it to get a second opinion and was able to get the exact same work done WITH OEM, never used parts AND a warranty for 7.5k. Also, when I got my car back from them they had managed to mar significant portions of the leather and cloth in my interior with what looks like flat tip screwdrivers and pliers, and broke my shifter assembly, all while trying to claim that the car arrived like that. I had driven the car the day previous, I can confidently say the internals of my shifter were not sheared in half from someone torqueing the shift knob as hard as they could and ruining the leather on it when I was driving it. Going off of the metal tooth marks on the outside and the damage inside, Its extremely clear that someone couldnt figure out how to operate the shifter so they used a tool of some kind to try to tighten it to the point of where they sheared the plastic internals. After taking it to two other mechanics and letting them independently investigate it, they both came to the same conclusion without me ever saying the idea out loud. Take it how you will. To top it off, when I went to go pickup it up, I went to my car in their lot (without my key, they had it) and went to open the door to get some things out of my car (forgetting that I didnt have my key) and it turned out that my car had just been unlocked in their parking lot for who knows how long WITH the key still in the ignition, causing the battery to die... What was strange though is that the two individuals who I talked with at the shop were extremely nice, seemed well informed, and gave me updates about the vehicle as it was evaluated. They seemed like they were doing a genuinely decent job, short of the quotes that I was given (which may have come from a finance department, Im unsure. They either came up with the quotes or just relayed them to me.) I dont know if the individuals who were working on my car were new employees, incompetent, or both, but after seeing how they treated my car and the absolutely insane quotes that they gave me, Id sooner rather take it to the homeless guy that hangs out at the OReillys around the corner for work on it than come here again.

Isabel Trujillo My husband and I have come to him for our vehicles for a quite few years now. Hes always honest and even made us aware of a lemon we had. We go to this guy for everything and trust his recommendations for things he cant do. Hes always the most affordable and gets the job done asap. Which we really appreciated, especially this last vist, because we actually live in our short bus. (Yes, 1994 Chevy/4window short bus) Again, we go to him for everything!

Katelyn Quezada I was in a rush I was coming from Washington State to drive all the way to Houston Texas and ended up breaking down in Bakersfield California I googled the cheapest mechanic near me and it was Amaya, when I got there I had already talked to Salvador over the phone and explained to him my situation he was very understanding and very considerate he ended up checking my water pump and telling me that was not my problem My problem was my radiator and he had the most affordable price out of all the other places that I called and the best customer service, he helped with my radiator and put air in my tires and breaker fluid If youre in an emergency situation and you need help with your car and are on a low budget I would give Salvador

Aaron Pena Excellent service, great prices highly recommended

Christian Iwuchukwu I have known this Reprius Inc for over 10 ten years. Kris is the best, very knowledgeable, details in diagnosing your car, provide professional advice to customers without minding risking his expertise to them. Honest and straight forward and affordable cost. No intent of ripping customers off. Allows customers to choose favorable options after diagnosis. So much to write about this wonderful company. He can also be of assistance on phone and sacrifice his off-work hours to attend to your car when you are in dire need of assistance. What a mechanic. Highly recommendable. Safe your money with Reprius, Inc

Estrella Armas I’ve been coming here for years and the staff and service used to be amazing! This most recent visit I came in for a basic oil change. I’m familiar with everyone who works here, but on this most recent visit the newer lady working at the counter was so mean and condescending. I did not get her name, but she is a larger set woman with brunette/black hair. Every time I would talk to Chris’ wife or the mechanic regarding my vehicle the brunette lady would act as if I was “holding up her line” (I was the only person there) and was incredibly rude with her tone when asked any sort of question. Please find someone with better customer service skills.

Sandeep Hans Poor experience I have had with my ford escape. Paid 1799 but no relief for hybrid abs problem, same problem but asking 2500 again.. won’t recommend anyone for them….

Alexander Vargas The Mgr Milky is the Best and Only Mechanic i trust with all my cars and Family .Best Customer Service , Overall Reasonable Prices , Best Trustworthy Shop in Bakersfield . Give him a Call he will make you a Believer and you will Never want to lose his #. Over 10 yrs servicing my Cars Never Problems.

Kristi Langhardt I was traveling and ended up stuck in Bakersfield overnight with a nail in my tire. Nation Auto Repair was great about taking care of my tire quickly and had me back on the road. They were so nice and professional and I wish I lived nearby to have them take care of all my auto needs. Highly recommend!

Andres Ramirez Milky the mechanic has helped me a lot with my truck. Great prices and great mechanic they’re the only people I take my vehicle to.

phillips famtv Javier is great. Number one reason to come here is honesty. Number two reason is his prices on labor and parts are the best in Bakersfield. He worked on my Audi A8 but has also done work on my sisters Acura TL and my best friends Chevy Truck. Javier are small but mighty. They got the parts and finished my air bag suspension in less than a day and it was a 1/3 of what the dealer wanted.

Angel Reyes The best work and the warranty is amazing I can say this is a good place to go to get your car done good

YESENIA Gomez The best in town.

Jesse Serna This place use to be a 5 star place, but not anymore. Took my car for a A/C charge and a leak check two weeks ago according to their worker no leaks. All of a sudden after air conditioning begins to blow hot air from driver side, passenger side super cold. A cause if not enough freon was put into system, so I took it in again, i was told that the compressor was leaking. Long story short they remove my freon completely. Now no A/C for passengers, Now I am worse than before. I dont know what type of scam their running there, all i know is they lied and took my remainig freon, which I was told I had none. I am taking my vehicle somewhere else to see if really my compressor is the issue. do not recommend this place at all. Beware!

Kirsten Thomas i’d give it 0 stars if i could. they charge you 150 per hour just for even being there. took my car to get my ac looked at, claimed there was no leaks, and my ac was fine. not even 2 weeks later my ac is blowing hot air again. Don’t waste your time

Maria Donza I had a great experience with this shop. They took my van in immediately with no appointment and were able to fix the issue same day. They explained everything to me and made me feel very confident with their service. Very professional and polite. Highly recommend.

Brittney Holder Do NOT take your vehicle here unless you want to waste a bunch of money and fix things on your car that wasn’t wrong before being brought it. Horrible business. If I could give Zero stars I would.

Tim Palmquist The belt tensioner broke on my F-150, and I needed the repair done that day to get to work the next morning. I got the truck to them by 11 am, after I had verified with them in a phone call that they could fix it that day. I called about 3 pm and they still hadn’t fixed it, because they said they didn’t have the parts. I had already researched the parts and knew where I could immediately pick them up, so I asked if they could get it done if I brought them the parts, but in the midst of the conversation they said the parts arrived. They insisted on replacing the belt, claiming that it was torn, but I insisted on keeping the old belt. It looks perfect (much better than the belt they installed, which looked worn from the start). When I showed the old belt to the mechanic he admitted that he couldn’t see anything wrong with it. They did finish the repair that same day, just before closing time. But they did more than what I approved and charged me much more for the parts than I could have paid. In comparison, the identical problem happened two years ago when we were traveling through Georgia. Thankfully that time the shop got us back on the road in an hour and charged us $150 (less than half what I paid this time). I’m still dealing with the aftermath of this repair, as some new issues might be related. I knew it didn’t sound right the moment I drove away but I really didn’t want to deal with them anymore, and I figured they wouldn’t want to deal with me either, as it had seemed that I was imposing on them to try to get them to get it done that day.

carlos coronado From the moment I called this establishment, they were nothing but helpful. Julie is such a kind and sweet lady who helped me with every single issue that I had and there were a few. I probably had called 15 other shops and none of them wanted to help. Finally got in touch with this shop and Julie was quick, helpful and all around a pleasure. With 2 text messages and a picture we were rolling. The shop helped me with all of the insurance and took care of everything. Steven was on the insurance like white on rice and made sure things kept moving. I received calls at least twice a week to update me on what was going on and what was still needed. I was never in the dark about anything going on. I can’t recommend this place enough. Give them a call. You won’t regret it !! Thanks guys. The flex is back on the road !!

Igor Kovacevic On the road from LA to San Jose we got engine issues and made it to Benny’s shop. Benny, his daughter and his stuff diagnosed the problem, got the parts and fixed the issue. Very accommodating and efficient. Absolute recommendation!

Sarah O. Im on a road trip from out of state and my engine gave out 20 miles from Bakersfield. These guys not only found me a used engine but were also kind enough to let me sleep in their parking lot while the repair was being done. That was a huge help to not have to spend money on a hotel. They were also very clear about what needed to be repaired and why.

Wes Bodkin Great local shop, extremely accommodating with fair pricing and good communication. High quality work. Thank you!

TruthSeeker “aka-Ego” Good service. Honest quotes. They dont give up on any issue. Ive monitored them since 2013. Theyre not salesmen. Theyre diligent workers.

Denton Davenport My truck broke down on interstate 5. The team at Bakersfield Over-Time Automotive were able to troubleshoot and get it repaired fast. They not only excel in quality work, but also quality customer relations. They communicated the repair along the way very clearly and effectively. Thank you.

Big j Cupis Hands down if your looking for honesty an somewhere legit to get your vechical fixed highly recommended they fixed all my oil leaks in my 2016 volkswagon cc. Including some wear in tear on parts that needed fixing . 100 percent legit company
