10 years later and they are still the best shop around!! Honest, communicative, and super fair pricing!

Any time my 16 year old CRV needs service, I bring it to the good people at Benicia Auto Repair. If it's a check engine light, they figure it out. They are fast, friendly, and honest, and their work is done right. Thanks! read more

Outstanding service by fantastic people. Have not been helped by better people providing honest, reliable service. Recommend unconditionally. read more

I discovered BAR last year.... And I've been very happy with their services, reasonable prices and Customer service since! I go there for regular oil changes and tire rotations and have never been disappointed. Go see Kim and her team for your auto needs! read more

The best people I have encountered. They are honest and trustworthy. Prices are also very reasonable and work was done expeditiously. I trust them with my vehicles. read more

Not sure if they closed down, but I've tried calling the number here on Yelp, same number shows up on Google and no answer. Left a voicemail, no call back. I then called the number on their window, that number doesn't even work. Sooo I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

I highly recommend Benicia Auto repair. I took my car twice there (2021 and this year) and both times they did great job. After I dropped off my car just to check on it, they called me back with all the information and even brought my car to me at my work. And, several days later, I got my car fixed and it didn't take long. Stuff is super nice and communicative. read more

Just got my son's car back today. Friendly and honest business, and the service was efficient! Highly recommend and will be my go-to repair shop in Benicia. read more

Very helpful couple running the show, they definitely have your best interest in mind and try to do all they can to help!

Been using them for a few years now and they do it correctly! Fair prices and their honest and won't do anything not needed or upsell like other shops! I have 3 different cars for them to take care of . Super Convenient at Military and 5Th . Smog place 5 feet away as well ! read more

Since I'm new to the hood and no longer go to my regular SMOG station, I had to look for an alternative. At the same time, I was in search for a place I can go to regularly and I think I just found it here at Benicia Auto Care Center (BACC). Nothing beats the feeling of doing business with good people. Nick at BACC is one cool guy. You will immediately feel that he is running an honest business based on how he treat his customers. He went over my carb legal documents with a visual inspection and gave the green light. Then after, I parked my car on the dyno and it was done within minutes. I'd say no more than 15 minutes but probably less. I've strictly only used BACC's SMOG test service, but I'd like to mention that they also provide other services as well. The shop sits on the corner of E Military and E 5th St so you can't miss it. Also, if you are into fishing bring a pole because they got some good fishing spots close by. read more

Benicia Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Benicia, California

We've taken two vehicles to Benicia Auto Repair Center and have been shocked at the high level of care and honesty they put into their work (so many bad experiences with price-gouging, dishonest mechanics have left me jaded). I took one vehicle in for an oil change and for a concerning squeaking noise. They adjusted my brake shims, noting that they might be the cause of the issue and changed my oil. Squeaking stopped and no charge for the labor to fix the issue! Other vehicle required more extensive repairs and the employee at the front desk has gone out of her way to help us find the best deal on parts on the internet. She went above and beyond and has amazing customer service. Prices are very reasonable and they don't try to upsell you services you don't need. Honest and just all around great mechanics. In fact, they warned me that I wouldn't pass the smog test one year because of an engine light issue and didn't charge me a cent (others would've just run the computer check and would've taken my money and failed me before saying a word--this has happened to me in the past at other auto repair places). Only downside--they get very busy because they're very popular. That said, it's worth it, and there's a good reason for their popularity. This is the only place in town I will trust with my cars from here on out. read more

After two visits I have to leave a review. This place is top notch. First visit I told them the "brake service" light was on in my 2006 Chevy truck. They gave me a quote for three possibilities: front brakes, rear brakes, or both. Am they called me after just a couple hours and told me it was just a bad sensor, charging me just few bucks. Second visit was for replacing the starter. They had it finished the same day. Couldn't be happier. read more

This would be a five star rating if not for their unresponsiveness. The quality of the work and the value were both excellent. Due to several situations outside of their control, they ended up having the car in their shop for over two months. And not once did they contact me to update me, every contact was initiated by me. I called and left messages that were not replied to. Truly, the customer service was abhorrent. But in the end what really matters is did they fix the car right and at a fair price - and yes, they did. read more

After 20 years going to my mechanic who decided to close shop and work for a gov. shop I was stuck trying to find a good, reliable car repair shop. Well I'm glad to say I found one. Mechanic was very knowledgeable and entire staff was friendly. Car was repaired in time specified at a fair price. I'll be bringing my cars for anything that requires car shop repair and I'm unable to do. read more

They were honest showed me the parts that needed repair. The price is reasonable, the dealership was going to charge me $1,500 I paid $700.00. They have been reliable and great customer service. read more

Fast, friendly service. Fixed several issues on my car including brakes for less money than I was quoted at other shops.

So I called to see if this place could do a small repair on my company truck and they said they were really busy but she took my number and wanted to forward me several businesses that could help this weekend as well as a mobile locksmith I could contact. Great customer service. Still haven't got the text but the fact that she offered to send me this info was great. read more

My alternator was not charging my battery on my Subaru Outback and so the battery was completely drained and would no longer hold a charge. Since it was a remanufactured alternator that failed after only 9 months, Bee and/or Kim was able to get the parts house to replace it for free under warranty and they installed it. Rather than trying to sell me a new battery, Bee gave me my old battery to take back to where I bought it, so that I could get the one year old battery replaced for free under warranty. When I went to pay Kim for their diagnosing, removing and replacing the alternator and battery, she said "no charge." When does a car repair shop ever do that? They prove themselves to go the extra mile for customers and to be capable, caring and honest. I will be a repeat customer. read more

This place is fantastic! Quick and professional and they go out of their way to help you. Would definitely recommend.

This is the place to take your car. Reliable, thorough, affordable and knowledgeable. They texted me pictures of the progress of the work being done. read more

Needed help when I was unable to replace the cabin air filter in my 2012 ford fiesta due to virtually inaccessible torx screws. Bee fit me in right away. Car was ready in an hour. Really appreciate the speedy and well handled service. Tim S. read more

My husband and I have been taking our cars here for over a year since we moved to Benicia and have been very happy with the service. Recently we've purchased a car for our daughter that needed some work, and we've had these guys do all the repairs on her car as well. Again, we've been very happy with the service they've provided to our family. They are kind, honest guys - they told us what to fix immediately and what could wait. They help out where they can, and they let you bring g your own parts in - which saves you a ton of money over going to the dealership. They always work us in as soon as possible too, which is helpful with busy schedules. Highly recommend them if you're looking for decent priced auto care! read more

I called during the week and they were able to schedule me for my day off- Saturday, which was great because so many other auto shops are closed on weekends! I Just finished up here and received great service. Bee seems very honest and Hard working. In total my needs were completed in 2 hours for oil change, safety inspection, etc. which was fine because it's about a 10 minute walk from downtown Benicia where they have cafes and shops. I'd definitely come back when I need additional work. Thank you! read more

Good guys. Honest and competent, what more can I say?

No up selling, he provided pictures of everything that he recommended to fix, explained why he recommends it, and he didn't force me to work with him. Will definitely use them again due to the transparency and because my car is purring as it should. read more

Amazingly nice nice people, amazingly knowledgeable staff, and amazingly priced services! We are so happy to have found this jewel of a business. read more

Small family owned Mechanic in a small family oriented town! "Bee" and his family are great! they are very communicative, very fair priced and very knowledgable of their trade. I am super happy I found them when I was in need of some work on my Yukon. I have had 2 mechanics is 25 years and recently was informed I needed to find a new mechanic... What a drag; I was bummed. But Now I'm doing the happy dance! Thanks to a few recommendations and Yelp! SO glad I chose to use Benicia Auto Repair Center! read more

I had an amazing experience at Benicia Auto Repair Center. I think I interacted with the entire staff while I was there. Each and every one of them were superb. They were the nicest people. Very professional and personable. I had a tricky situation and they didn't stop until the job was done. I am very happy with the customer service I received while I was there. They did the job very well, and I feel like I made new friends. It was a win-win!!! read more

Every single time we use their services, they are so polite, helpful and real with us. No shady vibes at all. Highly recommend.

Brought my truck here to get its smog check and was out in a matter of 30 minutes. No appointment was made. Both mechanics were courteous and expedient. Wait outside in the bench or inside in their office. Pretty easy access off of the 780. I'll head right over to AAA which is right down the road from them. read more

Highly recommend these guys. Very friendly staff. Kim and Bee were super helpful and even allowed me to pick up my truck on a holiday. I had some break issues and they quickly fixed the problem within a day. Never had an issue getting a hold of them when I had questions. read more

I was fully expecting that I needed a $300-500 repair. I was told that I didn't need it because the folks from Vegas that worked on my car didn't apply the safety on the axle nut. It worked loose and wasn't much left holding the wheel to my car. Thank you! I'm coming back for sure. read more

My van needed to be smogged. Made and appointment, job only took 30 minutes. Paid, and good to go!

DO NOT TAKE UR CAR OR UR KIDS CARS INTO THIS BUSINESS! I had a check engine light I had to get turned off and I asked the people at the shop if they could diagnose what I needed to fix it. The next time I went to see my car was to take it home because they did nothing in the time allotted. When I tried to start the car, it didn't even start. The mechanic forgot to tell me he drained the coolant. So I get out and pour coolant in and try again and it almost certainly feels like he blew my head gasket in the time he had my car. Whatever you do, avoid this place like an STD cause it's way dirtier than most. read more

How many people can say they've hugged their mechanic? Well I have, and with good reason. Several months ago my ac went belly up and Bee, the mechanic and owner helped me out free of charge. When I first met him he spoke of his faith and how helping others was important. They go the extra mile here and they are HONEST. A rarity in the automotive world these days. I've returned over and over anytime I have questions or an issue and they're always way cheaper than the competition and know what they're doing. Give these guys your business because they won't give you the business! read more
