They always do great job on my FJ Cruiser, even going above and beyond. For example, Paul (owner) and another guy spent a couple hours buffing out a deep scratch on my driver door while there for something else without charging me. They've also identified things I didn't need to get done that I thought did, saving me a good deal of money. Bear was highly recommended by a handful of people in Corona, and I see why. read more

These folks are hands down the place to go. Alignment done on my Maserati and 32' class A motorhome...both very reasonable and done right the first time. Honest up front pricing and very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended! read more

Thorough, honest, dedicated mechanic crew. Thank you, Paul & crew for helping us and our community. Hands down best of the best. Steve & Janet read more

We have been bringing our two cars to Bear for the past year or so. Our cars are older and obviously need more work. At times, it does seem overwhelming but Bear always finds a way to help us out and prioritize what needs to be done to keep our cars in working order. Great to talk to, easy to understand the diagnostics, and we know our cars will be taken care of. Thank you, Bear! read more

Called yesterday to make an appointment for today because my truck was making a clicking noise every time I turned left. Had zero idea what it could be from and was worried it was going to be an expensive fix. Called Bear Alignment to see if they could take a look at it and they said absolutely and recommended making an appointment. Walked in this morning at 9 AM and met with Jeff. Jeff made the entire drop off process super easy and told him why I was there and he said okay no problem and said he could call me later with an explanation. Jeff called about an hour and a half later and said they found the problem, a bracket, and it would be an inexpensive fix and about an hour longer to get it done. I was super happy because that was great news. Went to pick it up and no noise! Super happy camper over here and now I want to tell everyone to call Bear Alignment and take your vehicles here. They are so friendly, nice, and they take the time to listen and understand the problem. Will definitely be back! Thanks Jeff! read more

Paul and Jeff at Bear Alignment are the best! They are extremely knowledgeable in all things automotive. They have been maintaining my business and personal vehicles for over ten years. Last year I purchased a classic 1970 Cadillac DeVille Convertible. Unfortunately it needed tons of mechanical work (It didn't even run). Paul and Jeff addressed my concerns and after months of replacing old worn out parts, I can confidently drive my classic Cadillac. Thank you Paul & Jeff for working with me to get my classic 1970 Cadillac DeVille Convertible back on the road! read more

It was hard getting someone on the phone but once I stopped in they were very helpful! I didn't realize they did more than brakes so I will be back for sure. During my 1st visit I received back brakes. I'll give another update when I return. Customer service was great too! I even received a coupon to eat next door (during the holidays) and to come back for more services read more

I've been to Bear Alignment twice now. Each time, the guys have explained the situation, and I don't feel like there is any BS. They seem honest, which is what you want when looking for an automotive mechanic. The other thing I like is that I think their prices are reasonable. If you're looking for somewhere to get your brakes fixed, I recommend Bear Alignment. read more

If I could give this place no stars that would be more correct ! Two alignments later and this is what I get ?? Serious?? This is the crap work you put out ? I had my alignment waited half a day for it just to return to get it redone again because it was garbage work! Well this is the results of 2 alignments later from Bear! Thanks guys good job! Mind you not this isnt a daily driver. Truck puts maybe 10k miles a year. read more

I've been to many mechanics and had many vehicles. The customer service is amazing, Jeff and Paul go into such detail concerning your service and they never over sell also when possible give a discount on the service for the customer is a breath of fresh air and the warranties given is very good. Now that I know they do all maintenance and if I want an upgrade thats need done, I'm coming back. read more

Went on Friday without an appointment for a simple wheel alignment - but no openings were available. Jeff recommended coming back on Monday for an early 9am appointment - so I booked it hoping for quick service. It took over an hour just to get my car looked at - mind you, my appointment was made for just an alignment and I was there promptly at 9am. Of course, they always manage to find other stuff under the hood like old cracking parts. After an initial estimate of $100, they recommended a complete overhaul of the "lower control arms" and "upper strut/spindle bolts" for $1,306 - we went from $100 to $1,306. Noticing my displeasure, Jeff said he could remove some of the less urgent issues and was able to bring it down to $436 - lucky me. I should feel great that I'm not going to pay $1,306 but instead pay $436. Plot Twist: that same Friday I had taken my car to the dealer for an oil change and full inspection ... they recommended an alignment for $175 +tax. I know dealerships have a horrible reputation but they actually had a way better deal than Bear. Moral of the Story: if you already have a good relationship with your dealer, listen to them, trust them. Unfortunately, I didn't, and now I got hustled for an extra $260 (compared to the dealer).

This review is long overdue! Bear alignment and brake service is by far the best auto repair shop in California . I've been bringing my truck there for close to 10 years and refuse to bring it anywhere else at this point. Paul and Jeff go above and beyond to diagnose and repair whatever issue I have while also providing the best customer service at more than reasonable prices. Most mechanics try to overcharge while taking so much time to do a repair where bear alignment figures out the issue at an expedited rate. Again, avoid any other mechanics and go to bear alignment as I promise, you won't regret it! read more

Brought my 65k miles 2021 RAV 4 in for regular maintenance, and asked about possible alignment needs because I hit a curb half a year ago and I wasn't sure if it's me or if the car was actually drifting to one side. I had asked my dealership previously about the possible drifting issue and they recommended an alignment. The first alignment didn't seem to make a difference, so they happily charged me for a second one only three months later because, according to my dealership service advisor, "my car needs an alignment every 10k miles because of all the potholes around here." After relaying this information to Jeff, he straightforwardly told me ONE alignment every TWO YEARS is the normal schedule. He told me I likely won't need an alignment, but he'll check my car to confirm. In the end, he only charged me for my regular maintenance (oil change + tire rotation) and re-affirmed that my alignment was fine. Even after I pressed the issue, Jeff took the time to explain to me what each number meant on the alignment report the dealership gave me, and why I shouldn't worry when "these numbers are green while those numbers are red". My car has since been driving fine, so it was all in my head after all. If you look at all those 1-star reviews lambasting Jeff as dishonest, you'll observe a trend in these reviewers' attitudes and their tendency to value cheap work over quality work. Jeff and the team went out of their way to save me money and most of the reviews here will say the same. read more

Been here twice now and had a good experience all around. I was worried that I'd have to drive far to get an alignment on a lowered vehicle, but they were able to do the job! read more

First let me say Jeff the mechanic is great. Now let's be honest Paul has no business running a business. I took my vehicle back 3 times before my problem was fixed. Paul did not even have the common courtesy to say hello to me. Originally Paul was going to charge America's Tire a lot more for labor until I told Paul I was going to tell AT. After which Paul reduced the labor cost in half. Paul never apologized for making waste over 5 hours of my time. read more

Three things. 1. They do alignments on lowered cars. 2. Quality and care. 3. Price! Here at Bear, they care about quality and deliver the customer satisfaction you deserve. They are honest and don't take your money. They are upfront. Biggest win for me is they align my Type R without any issue. read more

Great customer service, great prices, great work. They were busy when I came. Now I know why!

Scammers. Me and a family friend talked to each other, and found out that Bear Alignment, tried to scam both of us on... you guessed it... alignments!!! You come in for an $80 alignment or something, and they even have you sign off on their estimate sheet. Then when you leave to walk around, they call you a half hour later, saying that they need to talk about some problems on your car. When you get there, they show you a new estimate sheet, and they say that they can only do the alignment after fixing $2000+ worth of repairs! (my friend was told $1500, i was told $2200). That's almost the price of the car!! So we said no of course and left!! They gave us our money back luckily. I told my dad afterwards, and he told me that the same thing happened with him, and he doesn't trust them either. Please, take your car anywhere else. read more

Bear Alignment & Brake Service - Scammers list of new "needed" repairs - Auto Repair Near Me - Corona, California

Overall Bears is a great place to go to if you need work done to your car. My family and I have been coming to this location for years when our cars have had issues arise. Ranging from small issues or base maintenance needs to larger and more complicated issues. Any issues that arise, they fix in a quick timely manner. Jeff and Paul are knowledgeable when is comes to cars and I've spoken to them a lot when I'm in the front office. Also I've talked with Jose who is familiar with my cars and he is extremely knowledgeable as well. I've spoken to Jose in person and over the phone and when there is an issue with the car he is working on, and he explains it in great detail over the phone or shows me in person. In the past week I just had my oil changed for two of my cars and I was waiting for both of my cars in the office area and I was watching as customers came through and interacted with everyone from Bears staff, many customers seemed to be pleased with the work done to there vehicles plus quiet a few of the people I saw seemed to be familiar with everyone at bears and everyone working at bears seem to be very familiar and friendly with their customers. Overall if I need any work done to my car, whether it's base needs of the car or some type of issue arises, I would go here and I would definitely recommend to others to go here as well because they do good work, and they are honest and value their customers who come on through. read more

Paul is honest the people there are all great. I will always bring my RV there for any and all suspension or wheel problems. Call ahead for an appointment. read more

I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND this place at all! They just want to take customers money. My husband took the truck in for an alignment and Jeff told my husband that he needed some parts changed. It was going to be about $3000. My husband decided to get a second opinion and it turned out to be that everything was perfectly fine, the truck just needed to be aligned. BE AWARE!! read more

Let me be honest when I say I dont trust most shops at all !! So I usually do my own repairs if possible. But Jeff and the folks at Bear Alignment have always been honest and upfront about what my vehicle needs and that makes me keep going back. Vehicle repairs are not cheap, so I rather go to Bear where I feel like they are going to charge me, but what needs to be fixed will get done right! Ive taken two Teslas here and my pickup truck! THANKS! read more

I have brought several cars here throughout the years and just had another front end alignment and like always very please at the professional kind and courteous service. Thank you read more

I replaced 2 new tires from a tire place and I was told that I will most likely need an alignment. But because I was there for two hours already I didn't wanna wait for an alignment and I left and I scheduled an appointment With bear alignment and when I went in I was told that I didn't need one. So I was really happy that I didn't need it then and I appreciate it that they were honest with me. I will definitely come back when needed. read more

awesome break shop, they take the time to show you what they're fixing. honest and didn't take too long.

I have been going to Bear Alignment for 15 years. They take care of mine, my wife's, and all of my daughter's cars. It's much more than the quality of work, (which has always been excellent), it's the people. Everyone knows how difficult it is to find an auto shop that has integrity. Paul, Jeff, Jose, and the entire crew at Bear's have always treated me with respect and honesty. They take the time to walk me through the work that is needed and why. They have never tried to upsell or suggest work that isn't truly needed. 15 years later, I would not go anywhere else. I trust these folks, and always will. read more

Hands down the best shop in town.. This shop and their crew ALWAYS takes care of ALL my vehicles.. (5 in total). Not a single complaint to be had or made. EVERY single time I have a mechanical issue NEVER do I call anyone but Bear Alignment. Not to mention the customer service... the best! They ALWAYS make sure I am taken care of. Will always recommend this shop to all my friends and family!! read more

I've gone to Bear since I was a kid with my dad in the late 80s. Even then they had the best service. If you're looking for a honest group of guys go to Bear. What a great group who always keep my family safe and on the road. Few months ago they replaced my Idler and pitman arm on my 3500 Duramax and truck drives so much better. Today I went in for a glow plug on my 2018 Duramax and I was in and out quick. Corona locals this shop is the best spot if you want quality and craftsmanship. Thanks Bear!! No job too small for these guys read more

I took my Sierra 2500 and Jeff lied to me about what my truck needed I had a doubt about the $3000. He wanted to charge me to replace things that didn't need to be replaced. I got a second advice and only ended up paying $175 to everybody coming to this place I would really recommend to get a second opinion. Jeff lied, and was dishonest. I hope he displays and he himself gets what he deserves for being a liar, and trying to cheat customers. read more

I recently found this shop via good Yelp reviews and made an appointment for an alignment. Was quoted $55 for my car (a 2016 sedan). The man behind the counter was very friendly and got me all checked in. After inspection a mechanic let me know my car was perfectly aligned, but double checked to be sure. Then he said I didn't need any work and I wasn't charged. I suspect many places would claim work was needed and take your money but I appreciated the honesty of this shop. That earned my trust and as a result I will go back should I ever need additional work on my car. Additionally, when I arrived an older gentleman was in line in front of me and mentioned he needed to get money together for a part and asked if there were price options. As soon as he left and I was checked in, the man behind the counter made a call to get quotes for the older gentleman to help find a part in his price range. This place seems to be honest and caring. I highly recommend. read more
