Also called Bay Auto & Tire on L.O.V.R. in Osos. I had a new front end wobble @ 40mph and somewhat less noticeable at 75. Once upon a.... The car was defiantly pulling hard to the left once I let go of the steering wheel. That's what lead to the " I need an alignment" I made the call to Bear/Bay. Kevin greeted me and told me what they would do for basically $90. Ok that's about what I expected, he said the car should be ready in an hour. No sooner had I got in the door from the walk home the phone rang. Kevin says "it's worse you need a tire" He said the tread was separating from the core. Wow I drove nearly 900 miles on that tire. Kevin quoted me on some brand name tires but was more than I wanted for the "fix". So back to the shop, Kevin said after he had discovered the issue with the left tire tread separation he switched the left and right tires and the bad left tire now on the right side of the car made the car pull right. In a sense proving it was not an alignment issue but a tire issue, definitively. He could of course chosen another solution but he was truthful and that scores big with this Elite Yelper. I'll be back for an alignment when needed. Thanks Kevin foodguy-martin read more

Shady shady shady! These guys have been taking advantage of my elderly father who has brought our vehicles to this place many many times since they took over. Last week he brought in our family van for some "new" tires and paid $600. Found out the manufactured date is October 2021. That same day we noticed the steering wheel would shake vigorously past 60mph. Took it back and was told it needed new front bearings for $900!!! Didn't seem right so we brought it to another shop and come to find out, it wasn't the bearings at all! These guys put a bunch of extra weights on our brand new tires which caused it to shake!! Got the tires balanced from a legit shop and now it runs smooth as it should! Come to think of it, we have 1 vehicle that no longer runs and two others with issues that these guys probably messed up! Thankfully nothing traumatic happened while driving our van with our children in it! Do not trust this business Los Osos! read more

They are now Bay Auto & Tire. Nice staff. Helpful. Good prices. I highly recommend them.

I was in need of an oil change and smog check. This business was great because they were open on Memorial Day and were able to squeeze me in! They did a great job and I will be going back when I'm need for another service. read more

I've taken my 3 vehicles there for years now. Oil changes and smog checks. very reasonable prices, honest and reliable workmanship.

My tires were wearing on the inside so went there for an wheel alignment- they put on the lift - then called me over to show that i needed lower control arm bushings - and quoted me $600-$1000. Went over to my regular mechanic Don's Auto - he put up on lift and tested and found no problems? Went over to Hinson's in Morro Bay for alignment and said it looked like simple adjustment - rotated tires all for under 70.00 Do not trust Bear Valley (now Bay Auto) rip off read more

The new owner/manager is not Kevin, who helped me keep my old car running well and earned my trust and respect for years. The new guy - not so much, and I did not feel welcome or respected as a senior citizen with a 30-year-old car. I've taken my business elsewhere. read more

Scheduled SMOG check in advance over phone. Showed up, talked to tech, sat down to read my book, and car was done before I turned the page! Zip, zap, zoom, done. Very professional. read more

These guys are great. We were leaving for a drive to Sacramento and discovered we had a small screw in our tire. We got there just as they were closing the garage door, but they were nice enough to fix our tire and get us on the way. Can't recommend these guys enough thanks for saving our trip. read more

This place is a joke ! It's been bought from the old owner,sad to say it's not what it used to be.no customer service period, and charges you when you ask to get pre smogged and smiles when it's gonna cost less next time.this place is a RIP off, so not take your car here .and do not send your wife or daughter, such a bummer I'd too I'd been taking my cars there for 20 yrs :( read more

Awesome last minute closing time service. You guys rock... You fixed my car last minute 911 before I had to head back to San Diego. You were honest in the situation of the Danger of either fixing or not fixing the issue with my car. I recommend these guys anyday! I cannot for the life of me remember the gentleman's name who helped me in all of this (besides everyone else that was there that helped me as well) but I know you know who you are and thanks so so much!!!! read more

We went to this shop for a smog check. This operator went out of his way to fail our car due to "visual inspections." The car passed the smog machine, but failed his inspection. He was able to fix his issue for $$$. read more

Needed a smog check and they were great. Extremely fast and professional service. I'll be back again for my next vehicle maintenance

Brought in our van early AM (after scheduling from previous week) for starting hesitation and dash lights out. Called at noon to get an update and lady says they could not find anything wrond and no hesitation. I stated the hesitation has been going on for at least 3 week, and to try turning the wheel and accelerating. She said she would and then call me back. At 2PM called again and she stated that they still could not sense the hesitation and their engine diagnostics could not communicate with the car (?). Then I asked about the dashlights. responded that they hadn't started on that yet. Needless to say, we picked up the car and will not be going back again read more

What great service! I got right in for a smog check due to a no show. Normally I get in within the same day. Not only was the mechanic friendly and efficient, but he found that my tire pressure was low on my spare tire. This was causing my tire warning light to come on. No one else could figure it out. I have always gone here and will continue to do so. read more

Great service!!! I had to get a smog check. I got right in. Kevin was very friendly and helpful. I was also impressed on how clean it was there. I just moved to Los Osos from Paso in July. I'm glad to find a mechanic that will be able to take car of my car locally! read more

Love this place, friendly honest down to earth. I bring all my cars here for smog checks etc.
