I went to Bear Frame and Auto today after I received a quote for new shocks and struts because of sound coming from carriage area $1,,200 on my vehicle. I felt they did not diagnose properly as suspension seemed to be fine. Bear Frame and Auto did a few test drives and adjustments but sound was still present. They pulled vehicle into brake bay and took off all four tires and they found the problem. I had a $8 part that apparently was left out during brake repair by someone else. Total cost was $28.00 Thank you so very much for your honesty and integrity and highly recommend them. read more

My grandpa has been coming here for 20+ yrs or however long it's been open. He swears they are the most honest mechanics in so cal. They did a great job on my truck today! As you can see in the photos... a big shop in the foothills with mountains in the background. Black and white tv on the television and people that seem happy to work there. Great service! Great value. read more

Bear Frame & Wheel - 1996 Lexus Lx450 getting some work done - Tires Near Me - Glendora, California

Took my vehicle down there to get an alignment done I just installed a brand new steering rack assembly. They don't even use the proper points to turn the bars. They went straight to the bars with them pipe wrench and scarred my bars. Charge me $100 to do tow and Center the steering wheel. They left my steering dampener bolts loose. There was a big grease stain on the center console. Never going back here again. I called to speak to the manager. He just tells me to bring it down. And he would have a talk with Tech this place is a joke. The steering damp and I just crawled under there and tightened up the bolts myself not gonna waste my time dealing with a shit show. read more

I had a rattle in my front end I drove all the way from Fontana to come to this place cause I thought that they could help me out he took it for a drive since they heard the rattle had a guy looked at it. He looked at it for about a half an hour drove it up to me got out and said get this thing out of here. I can't find the rattle and I'm not looking for it no more I've never been treated or rude in my life. I would never recommend this place or bring anything here again there's about 10 guys standing around doing nothing but yeah, I'd rather not make money if you're paying by the hour who cares how long it takes. that guy would rather go back and sit on his ass and do nothing. Hopefully he doesn't get paid while he's doing nothing very very rude. UPDATE I TOOK MY CAR TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP NAME WASABI IN UPLAND. I'VE BEEN GOING THERE FOR YEARS. HE HAD IT FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS. SAID THE TIE RODS WERE LOOSE. HE TIGHTENED THEM UP IN THE NOISE DISAPPEARED FOR BEAR FRAME AND WHEEL THAT BEING THEIR BUSINESS IN THE OLD MAN SITTING THERE FOR AN HOUR, STARING AT EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG AND COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I'D SAY THEY NEED TO RETIRE THAT GUY. read more

It's hard to find mechanics you can trust these days, so I feel lucky to have been recommended Bear Frame & Wheel! They are genuinely all very kind and honest people. I come here often to get my alignment fixed, and if the issue is small, they won't charge me anything. In the several years I have been coming here, they have never tried to upcharge me or scam me in any way. They get busy on the weekends and later in the day, so I try to come right at 7:30 AM, they're usually done within an hour. The woman at the counter is very friendly and will estimate when they'll be finished and give you a call when they're done. read more

I went to have my shocks and struts checked to see if I needed new ones. The did it for free

Had a thumping noise in front end. Husband took car here to get diagnosed and fixed. Replaced control arms and hubby picked up car. While driving home he noticed it was still doing what we took it in for. He went back and said he just paid a thousand dollars and it's not fixed. I guess whoever helped him has poor customer service skills. When hubby asked what could be done he responded with " I can put your old users back in, give you your money back and you can take your business elsewhere". Pretty sad. This place has been in our community for years and this treatment was not what I would expect. read more

The owner is awesome. He personally works on classic cars. I brought in my 69 Camaro and he was detailed and methodical. He took my car on four test drives to be sure it was right! I'll definitely go back for my other cars!! read more

Solid work for half the price of local competitors. Nobody was blowing smoke as far as weight times either. Honesty, fair pricing and great work? I'll be coming here for years. read more

I went to have an alignment on my truck today. The young lady in the office was nice and I asked her if it would take long. she said no and said you can wait in the waiting room over there pointing to the building. There is only one door on the building that says "private". I was walking towards the door when a very rude mechanic yells "that door says private!" Can't you f*cking read?" I wasn't told to walk through the chain link opening to where the waiting room was. Any business that allows their employees to treat customers like this, doesn't deserve a recommendation from anyone. Customers like myself, try and support local business in Glendora. read more

Always great service! Pretty quick service with a minimum wait time. The techs are always on the move to keep the vehicle line moving. Might be a 20 minute wait. It's never really a long wait. I've never timed it. But with all alignment work done here by hand and no laser machines. The minimal wait time is well worth it. I have been bringing my vehicles here over the past 25 years. I fully trust Bear Frame and Wheel with my vehicle. Period. read more

I was referred to this shop from 88Motors to get an alignment. I've had alignments done before with the latest and the greatest precision alignment machine with computer and laser measurements. However, that really didn't align my car properly. These guys do it the old school...all manual measurements and test drive. Within 20 minutes, my 2023 4Runner was aligned properly....straight as a nail. I live more than an hour away but it was definitely worth it and I'll be bringing my Lexus GX460 next...because after 3 alignment...still pulls to the right. I'm sure this shop will be able to properly align my car. read more

Bear Frame & Wheel - Tires Near Me - Glendora, California

I love Bear Frame and Wheel. I had a completely flat tire, had AAA put air in it, drove it over and had 2 new tires installed. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and do excellent service for a great price. They have been my go-to place for all my tire, brakes, and alignment needs for many years. Gary is just amazing and I would recommend them to anybody who needs frame or wheel repairs. read more

I am so grateful for this wonderful shop. Greg is so amazing. I thought I was going to be having to pay $7,000 for a simple accident for my daughter. When I brought the car into him he looked at the car and it was less than $1,000. He is so honest wonderful and true. I highly recommend this shop to anyone that needs good honest service. I 100% recommend them and I will continue to go there and refer friends and family.. thank you so much for all you do you are truly appreciated. read more

I have a friend who drives over 15 miles one way to have this company work on his cars. He referred me to Gary & Greg. I am a few months late on this but had to share my experiences. I took my 2018 Chevy Traverse to have shaking issue addressed when I would use the brakes at a higher speed. Gary (one of the owners) assessed the issue and had one of his techs fix my warped rotors. Then they sent it over to another area and had the alignment fixed. All completed within an hour or so. A couple days later, I took my son's 2012 Toyota Corolla to inspect struts/shocks due to a little knocking noise. They tightened up a few things then did the alignment. All completed within 20-30 minutes. Car knocking noise went away. Everything about this business establishment is reminiscent of old school, top-notch service. Thea guys don't play around. All hustling here!!!They were very fairly priced for the quality of service. I highly recommend. read more

The workers here think they know everything about alignments, they can't accept that they are not professionals they totally ruined my alignment on my E350 van. I offered to help them to correct the problem however they would not listen. Dumb shade tree workers not mechanics. Went to professional who did the job right for less $, wasted $ here at Bear wheel. All they can work on is older pre- year 2000 low riders read more

Jay did an amazing job replacing the upper and lower ball joints in my Silverado! My truck was in the shop less than 1/2 a day. I have been a customer of Bear Frame in Glendora for about 20 years and I highly recommend them! read more

I have been coming to Bear Frame for 25 years plus. They have worked on all my vehicles from lowered trucks to lift trucks now cars with hydraulics. I definitely recommend Bear Frame. They know what they're doing when it comes to alignments. If a place this old is still in business it's for a reason. There might be a 1-3 hour wait but it's worth it. read more

I installed coilovers on my car and needed an alignment after installation and lowering. Came in with front passenger coilover cambered in a bit at the knuckle and thought they'd fix it, nope. They fixed the back camber but not the front. Instead they raised my front ride height which I set where I wanted it prior to taking my car in. Probably hoping I'd lower it back down and need another alignment. They did a tire rotation thinking the vibration would go away They replaced an OEM bolt for the coilovers to knuckle holes. Didn't once mention it to me. Then replaced it with a bolt that barely has enough meat not to slip through the hole. At least add a washer mr MECHANIC!?!? When they were "finished" the main guy got out and said, "it's about 90% straight" after having 5 mechanics look at my car, I paid $110 for an alignment that was literally the same leaving as to when I brought it in. Car came in shaking like hell from 10-40mph and left shaking like hell from 10-40mph. He blamed it on my axles that were indeed toast but the car drove straight as an arrow with toasted axles a few days before...I brought the car to them a year prior and they got the alignment perfectly straight. I didn't crash the car what's so ever so it should've have been an easy alignment for a 90s car. They are careless, scratched my rims with the air gun socket. Then looks like they tightened my wheels with the first lug nut way too tight for the other 3 holes to try to line up and seat down. You can see aluminum stuck to the lug nuts from the nuts being forced to seat down inevitably taking aluminum off my rims. This happened on every wheel. Paid for a front and rear alignment only got my steering wheel to point straight for $110, remember the rear was NEVER touched and they still charged me $60 read more

Went there the other day for a front end alignment, girl in the office said two hour wait which that I could see they were very busy. As I was waiting one technician walks by and complains about why people are waiting and that they have nothing else to do. Another tech the guy with pony tail (rude bad attitude) says he's slow and works the pace that he wants too. Thats fine if you say this but not when a customer can hear you. When the pony tail guy walked by me the second time, I asked him what time do you open tomorrow (Saturday), his rude reply back was ask the lady, and the schedule is right in front of you. After this I jumped in my vehicle and left. Why would I pay someone to work on my car when they have such a bad attitude. This place has no modern alignment equipment, they do not tell you the before and after specifications. Today (Saturday) I went to a place located in Ontario CA, they had me in and out less than 30 mins, you can watch through the window and observe what they are doing, when completed they give you a print out sheet of before and after specifications. I paid more at this alignment shop, but remember you get what you get what you paid for. read more

They installed two new upgraded upper control arms on my truck. Reasonably priced and completed same day.

I used to bring my personal and company vehicles to Bear Frame & Wheel. After my last experience, I'm done. I took my vehicle in for alignment and brake adjustment. They did the alignment, but couldn't fix the brakes. I found out, the previous owner ran a screw through the booster. I was surprised that I found the soft brake problem and BFW couldn't. When I returned to my office, we noticed the front driver side lug nuts were not properly installed. I almost lost a wheel. I'm extremely disappointed with BFW. I'll need to find a new alignment/brake person. read more

Mike is awesome! I went in with squeaky brakes and left with silent brakes. Thank you Mike!

I had a quick chat with the tech and he knew what he was talking about when I asked about setting up the caster on a lifted Toyota. Truck drives straight and aligned just to my preference. Excellent service. Would definitely come back as it's hard to find a good alignment place and this place does things old school and right! read more

Just when I thought it was not possible to fix the rear shackles and bushings because it was frozen stuck I was just about to cut the entire thing off and go 4 link .... they managed to get the job done and didn't quit ..

Took my '17 Chevy truck for possible brake job. Considering my mileage and symptoms, I was prepared for a $500 brake job.

Showed up sat am hours of operation are 7:30 -3pm waited 2 hrs no one showed.?? Waisted time for me.

I come to this auto place after Toyota dealer oil changes. Everytime I go to Toyota dealer they give me a list of what my car needs with these expensive prices to fix. Bear frame & wheel have been so honest and tell me what I dont need and what I do need what is on that list a few times for both cars. I trust Bear frame and Wheel and they have reasonable prices. If you want honesty and a great job on your car this is your place. read more

I was referred here by 88 Rotors as well! I was able to upgrade my tires and wheels on my 2019 Tacoma and asked for any alignment recommendations. Without hesitations, 88 Rotors brought up Bear Frame & Wheel, in Glendora. It was a bit of a drive for me but I'd take any recommendations I can get! I got there around 11 AM today and the technicians were on it! I don't think I've ever gotten such a great alignment done before, my truck is driving nice and smooth! I'd definitely make the 1 hour drive to come back to this location in the future! The technician drove my truck multiple times after making some adjustments until it was PERFECT! Not to forget, great customer service in the front desk too! read more

This place has been in business for years! and there is a reason for that...reliable, honest work at a fair price. They still do alignments the "old school " way with no high tech fancy computers, which in my opinion is better and do a before and after road test to make certain the job is done right. read more
