Great price From the moment I contacted B&C Auto Repair, I was treated with nothing but kindness, professionalism, and respect. My first conversation was actually with Corey's mother, who was answering the phones at the time. She made me feel like I was talking to family. During our conversation, she shared that B&C Auto Repair has been serving customers for three generations and that her son, Corey, now proudly carries on that legacy. After speaking with Corey, it became immediately clear where he learned his exceptional customer service. He was patient, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely took the time to answer every question I had without ever making me feel rushed. In today's world, that level of personal attention is rare. I brought my 2024 Ford F-250 Lariat Ultimate to B&C for suspension work, engine upgrades, and several aftermarket modifications, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The technicians, Matt and Stephen, were just as friendly, professional, and knowledgeable as Corey. Even while they were busy working on my truck, they took the time to explain the work being performed, answer my questions, and made sure I understood every step of the process. That kind of customer service and transparency is hard to find. What impressed me even more was what happened after the work was completed. Corey stood behind everything they had done. If there was anything that needed to be adjusted or fine-tuned, he didn't hesitate to make it right. That level of integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction speaks volumes about the character of this business. The team at B&C Auto Repair is worth every penny. You're not just paying for parts and labor; you're investing in decades of experience, expert craftsmanship, and a team that genuinely cares about delivering the highest quality work. Whether you're looking for aftermarket suspension systems, diesel performance upgrades, maintenance, or a complete custom truck build, this is the shop you want working on your vehicle. I will absolutely be returning to B&C Auto Repair for all of my future diesel, suspension, and performance needs. If you're looking for honest people, exceptional workmanship, and customer service that truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend B&C Auto Repair. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had such a refreshing experience here. As a female who knows nothing about cars, I know I'm an easy target to get ripped off. I was told I needed full break pad and rotor replacement on all 4 brakes at different "highly rated" Poway shop; I was quoted $1100 for this. I got a second phone quote from B&C for the same service at half the cost. When I took my car in, they were honest, told me I still had 50% of my front brake pads left and only need to replace my back ones for a literal fraction of the cost. I'll be back for all future car things, including oil changes! read more

Great people honest and professional as well as knowledgeable. So thank you. Not to many of these are around.

The guys at B&C always go above and beyond. The best auto shop in north county. Hands down!

I can't say enough positive things about Ray, his wife, and the team at B and C. My mom had gotten a quote for $4,100 from the dealer to complete a number of repairs they said were needed. We took it to B and C and they were amazing. Walked us through the whole process and even sent a video of the work and damaged parts with an explanation. Just amazing job and at less than 25% the cost. It feels so good to find an honest, caring, and thoughtful business who treats their customers well and takes pride in doing so! We are loyal B and C customers for life! Thank you! read more

Honest family run shop. Always helpful and though they are busy, I had stopped by for a question and assistance with some lighted sign in my dash - and the owner, stopped what he was doing and assisted me on the spot!! Just the gas cap is not tight!! MY life is so hard and i SO APPRECIATED THE ASSISTANCE. I will be back - tell your friends and neighbors- Great shop! Thank you guys, Pamela Force read more

After checking the yelp reviews, I decided to take a chance on this shop. They did not disappoint! The owner Ray was extremely friendly, and I felt confident after talking to him that they would do a good and honest job. I had my brakes done on my Nissan Rogue. I was able to get an appointment quickly & the work was done quickly. It was a total win-win. I highly recommend this shop and will be using it for all of my service needs in the future. read more

We are so happy that others in Vista recommended B & C Auto Repair! We contacted them to help with our son's car and they were so prompt, friendly and accommodating! They fixed his car right up and we will no doubt be using B & C Auto in the future and will definitely recommend! Thank you to all of the wonderful employees who work there including the nice lady who I spoke to on a the phone a few times. I understand this is a 3rd generation family owned business. I love that! Thank you for your excellent service - I highly recommend! read more

Wow! B & C auto repair is one of the best and most trustworthy auto repair shop in town. We had two of our three cars worked on my Cory and his team and each time we are extremely satisfied. They were able to get our car looked at in a reasonable time and were quick to have it finished. My car drives better than it did before taking it in and I'm extremely satisfied. Not only are they great mechanics but great people. I happened to leave my cell phone in my car when I dropped it off early in the morning and I called a few hours later to let them know and put it in a safe place. My work was right down the street and they brought me my phone! Completely unnecessary but SO appreciated. We'd be happy to recommend anyone to this shop! Thanks B&C team! read more

They replaced the brakes on my car. They are no longer squeaking! Thank you Ray and team. I felt very comfortable here.

On our way thru the grapevine while pulling our 35' fifth wheel, our battery light came on. Figured it was the alternator. Planned to stay in Vista a few days then on to Grand Canyon. Contacted Ray on Thursday and he said he was slammed but he checked it for us on Friday. Alternator and batteries! He was able to get one in on Monday fixed by Tuesday AM Amazing family run shop. read more

I recently replaced my alternator belt and after driving 450+ miles it naturally began to stretch. I called B&C where Ray picked up the phone and told me he'd tighten it up at no cost. I attempted to offer $20 which he turned down and told me to save it for my lady. A top notch, helpful, and kind individual. Much appreciated Ray for your time and help. I'm not living in north county any longer but if I was I'd be absolutely looking to visit B&C for any car troubles after this first experience. Thank you again! read more

We take our two Toyotas (Sienna and Matrix) and Lexus GX to B & C for regular maintenance and service. Ray and his family are great - always good explanations, reasonable prices. They're always busy with commercial vehicles, but they fit us in. It's close to home and they do great work. read more

You know when you walk in somewhere and you can already tell you can trust a place, that's how I felt here. I've been very lucky to not need a mechanic for my car, but when I started hearing a squealing I was already dreading finding somewhere to take it. I got on the phone with Ray and he was really nice and squeezed me in despite how busy they are (and should be because of the quality of service.) They had a few people out sick, and he still took the time to take a look for me. It was a something small, (thank goodness) and he explained the causes and next steps if it continued. Seeing the interactions of the staff and other customers you can tell they take pride in their service, and work. Even with that short visit, I know where I'm going in the future! Thank you so much Ray for the peace of mind and help! read more

I called yesterday to make an appointment, and Cory told me they were slow and that I didn't need one. So I got in right at 8am thinking I might be out by noon or 1pm. By 2pm I haven't heard from them so I start calling. After 3 attempts go to voicemail, on my 4th call Cory answers with a quick"please hold." After holding 40 minutes I hung up. I drive over there at 4:15 and talk to Cory. Well...they haven't looked at my car yet. No apology. Cory says, "Maybe we can look at it before we close." I'm completely discouraged. My day off with no car, and next opportunity to get it fixed won't be for another week. Not at him, but at the situation I say the f word. Cory loses it. By the time he's done, he's physically threatening me, pushing his belly up against me, telling me to get off "his" property. Well, I'm gone, for good. For your own safety, STAY AWAY from this place. read more

Place sure doesn't have well service took about almost a good minute out of me just waiting I'm just the representative has hard time hearing or something it seems their working with what they got based on the generations they say so ya be aware they lack on service I would leave a star but yelp need to show some love to the little read more

I called and spoke to Ray, the owner, regarding the cost of reading codes for my limited edition Roadster. I have never experienced such an honest and personable individuals in the automotive field. Ray mentioned they are certified in my make of car, but he rather refer me to a specialist who has experience with my year and model! The shop he was referring me to is just like his "family owned." They are not worried about meeting a quota but making sure the client is happy and the repairs are done correctly that they no longer have to see the car again because it was done right ther first time. He was kind enough to call the other shop owner to give him a heads up that I will be coming in and to take care of me. As a female who knows a moderate amount of auto repairs almost all shops try to take advantage, so I appreciate Ray that much more. Even though I didn't use their services, I highly recommend them! THANK YOU RAY FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM, HONESTY, AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND. YOU ARE APPRECIATED!!! read more

B & C is truly the only place to go if you want quality service from knowledgeable friendly people. There is no one better in the county. If you love your car, you want the best, and that's B & C! read more

Best shop in San Diego as far as I'm concerned Easy to work with, looks out for me like I'm family, kind of wish I was! :) read more

Called B & C Auto Repair when I had a check engine light on with a new looked like a exaggerated lightning bolt on my 2016 Dodge RAM D iesel. They found I had DEF in my diesel tank. they cleaned and replace necessary items and it is running great. Great job at a desent price. way better than the local Doge dealers whom said they could not get to me till MARCH read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!! I was driving my Carpet Cleaning van on the 15 S, it's raining, when my truck started shaking at 60 mph. It did this a few other times and I had to cancell my upcoming job due to unsafe driving. So.. I take my Van to these guys, Famiky owned and operated, and they did me right. My major issue (aside of some other pending things to be addressed in the future) was I needed two new front tires.. That's it. What impressed me was they fidnt gouge me and charge me the entire inspection fee I'm SO greatful I found these guys. Thanks again!! -Tony BCTclean.com read more

I had a non-working cig. lighter and they said to come by and they'd take a look at it. Definitely a noticeable difference when dealing with a family owned business like B & C. Super friendly, helpful and personable service. read more

Great service and friendly. New to the area, I called B & C Auto since my Nissan Titan needed a new carrier bearing replaced. Talked to Ray, the owner, and he quoted me a fair price for the service. While in the shop, he also noticed that I had a left front wheel bearing going out (which I already knew about), , called me and let me know about this. Since it was in the shop, I had his crew also replace that. Fast turn around time, friendly and honest service is what will keep me going back to them for any of my vehicle issues. Recommend 100% read more

Ray at B and C Auto Repair is the most trusted and knowledgable mechanic I've ever encountered. Father and Son (Cory) family business with quick turnaround times on repairs. They have been in business for decades and have an outstanding reputation in the community for honest work, a high level of experience and reasonable prices. As a single woman, it's great to know I can rely upon them to keep my truck running at peak condition. read more

Great place! Very friendly and knowledgeable folks at B&C. Now I understand why all the 5 star reviews! Brought my, new to me, 02 Ford 7.3 E350 Diesel Van in for an alignment because it was wandering and pulling to the left at freeway speeds. They diognozed the real underling issue (worn out ball joints) and let me know right away. I just picked it up and went for a joy ride. Runs better than new!! They used OEM replacement parts and got it done the right way. Can't be happier. Thanks B&C!! read more

Was referred to B & C by my other mechanic. They did service on my diesel truck. Great family owned business that takes pride in their work and service. I'll continue to bring my truck to them. read more

We have taken our vehicles here for service and repair work several times. They do a great job and are affordable.

Spent a lot of money here on struts it turned out I didn't need and they left the left strut mount improperly bolted causing a rattle I complained they took it back to fix couldn't find the problem but the next shop did along with identifying an important safety issue b and c missed...very disappointed!! read more

Great shop! Ray is the owner and is a real nice guy. I had some engine problems with my 2014 diesel Silverado that another shop couldn't figure out. That shop was just throwing parts at it and charging my for it. B&C told me many wires were not secured properly and simply zip tied them down to prevent excessive vibration which was causing all the sensor issues. My truck has been running great for a year now. They only charged my for 2 hours labor. read more

My daughter's starter broke while visiting from out-of-town and had to have it towed and had to have it done in a day. I checked Nextdoor.com and Yelp for repair shops and called several for quotes. These guys were great to work with, had the best prices, and had the work done by noon. We now have found ourselves a new mechanic. read more

This place is great!! My car was having a bunch of issues. They were super quick to take it in, diagnose it and get back to me on my options. This will definitely be my go to place for all my vehicles from now on! read more

If you're an organized person, who likes to be told the straight truth and look for shops that value customer service, find another! If you don't like to be ripped off, find another shop! I was referred to B&C for repair on my diesel. Let me start by saying, I'm sure they're good mechanics but Ray, running their customer service, should retire! Their customer service and communication skills are so outrageously lacking, I will never do business with these guys again and never recommend anybody go see them. I needed a repair of my A/C unit, through a after market warranty. After dissembling the entire dash (to diagnose the issue), only then did they call the warranty. When they decided they didn't like the warranty's rates and made zero attempt to work with them, they stuck me with a bill for more than $500 to tear the dash apart and reassemble it! This all took 4 days by the way! Because their communication is SO POOR, I had no idea what end was up or what the warranty would pay for, not pay for, etc. After 4 days of complete frustration, i went to get the un-repaired truck, vowing to find another shop. I should have listened to my gut. Somehow Ray convinced me to bring the truck back for one more try, promising to have the parts on site when I arrived 2 weeks later. The day I arrived, (this is now round 2 with Ray) no parts on site. They have to be ordered from the dealer. This is Tuesday and I'm leaving Friday morning to go camping with my family. As it turns out, the dealer was now out of the parts and they wouldn't arrive for 3-4 days. When I said I needed my truck for a family camping weekend, he could not have cared less! When I quoted Ray on his promise to have the parts there, he basically called me a liar and said "too bad it's not within my control". I called my local Dodge dealer, where B & C gets their parts. I asked if any other dealer had them and could they be expedited? Something a good shop, who cares about their customers needs would have done. Guess what? A Dodge dealer in northern California had the parts that for $15 could have been sent overnight. Did Ray ask about that, knowing I needed my truck? Not a chance! On another note, they recommended I replace a filter, for $380. Thinking it was an internal filter, complex to R&R, I looked to our friend Google. Come to find out it's a $60 part that took me 15 minutes to R&R! Look, I'm sure like their mechanical skills, Ray is a nice old man but he is so completely unorganized and never ONCE offered an apology of any type! read more

My brother recommended B&C auto to me and they will be getting are business for now. It's family owned and everyone was really nice. They did a great job fixing my wife's Lincoln MKS and they finished the job when they said they would. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone read more

Had a GTR grill put on my Mercedes c-class. Communication with the shop was great and very friendly staff ready to help. The quote for the install seemed kind of high but it is a Mercedes. The instal was clean with no damage or scratches to the vehicle. Quality work, the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the quote/ hourly rate seemed high. I brought the new part to them. You get what you pay for. read more

Ray is honest and walked me through the issue with my car. That is what everyone deserves. My folks have been coming here for years and sent me here because they're so nice, honest and get the job done. Thank you, again!! read more

I think the questions most people ask is "does anyone know a good honest mechanic". Well you do now!! Here is the problem most people have, they get mad about the cost to repair their car correctly. If you want a band-aide fix them you get a half bakes repair. These guys have worked on three of my vehicles and even when I say "just fix whatever needs fixing because my daughter has to drive 800 miles in this car". You'd expect more than a $70 repair bill. They had my credit card and full authorization to fix whatever. Nope they said it was good and did oils and filters. Done. You don't get soaked. They are in business for the long haul. Give these guys a chance they do great work. read more

If a go to auto shop that is skilled and honest is as good as gold, then B & C Auto Repair is platinum. Ray and his crew are attentive, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Can't say enough about their excellent customer service and fair pricing. I will be back again and would encourage anyone looking for peace of mind when it comes to auto repair and service to do the same. read more

ONLY mechanic I trust to work on both my 2017 INFINITI as well as my HEMI muscle car. They know exactly what they are doing with ALL CARS with their certified and trained mechanics. Prices are always fair and they are very transparent. Show you everything and explain the whole process front to back. Most transparent and honest mechanic in north county. They work on my whole family's cars including my parents 2014 F250. read more

I had my 2013 f250 super duty wheel bearing / hub replaced last week. Great service, friendly and most importantly i walked out paying about $30 less than the quote. read more

The actual service of my car was fine. However, they are not following COVID protocols and no one in the office, and mechanics when they come into the office, are wearing masks. My husband said something, and the response was "we are around each other all the time" and you are wearing a mask so you are fine". Well customers are not around them all the time and the only way masks work is if both people are wearing them. With new and more contagious virus variations in SD county, businesses need to be even more vigilant. read more
