As always EXCELLENT SERVICE! We take all 3 of our cars here for pretty much everything! They do excellent work and their pricing is fair! And...Everyone here is so nice! It's hard to know who to trust and we've only been in the area 4 years. Our neighbor recommended coming here and later have come to find out several others I know say they've been bringing their cars here for many years! Don't waste your time going anywhere else! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent service from an excellent team! I called in the morning to see about an oil change and Alex was able to set me up before I went in for work. Staff was great and the price was what I expected. Ill be back soon! read more

I took my car in for service to Bill Clark's Automotive, and I'll only be using their shop from now on. They do excellent work and are completely trustworthy -- something I can't say about my dealer anymore. I especially appreciate owner Joe Bentz for his personal attention and genuine care in helping me take great care of my vehicle. Highly recommended! read more

HONEST AND CARING business. Friendly and treat you like family. Don't have to feel stressed about being ripped off here. Joe and his team are amazing humans. read more

Hard working HONEST mechanics! Joe will tell you what NEEDS to be repaired. Not suggest things to make money. We took our car to Toyota Down the street and then brought with us ,palers saying what was necessary to be repaired ...and Joe took the time , and explained each piece and most of it was just sales BS from Toyota trying to take in money. He's always been honest and good to our family. Couldn't refer this business enough! Great prices and great work Thanks ! read more

This shop provides the best service around at reasonable prices. The quality of their service is a great value.

Honest, reliable, dependable, friendly, I agree with other reviewers, this is the prefect description of Joe and his guys. My 2015 Honda Odessy is showing its age, and Joe is honest about what needs to be done right away and what could be done a little later. This means a lot when budgeting is important to my family. Prices are always reasonable and when service is needed asap they so work hard to get your vehicle in. You won't go wrong requesting service with this amazing crew of mechanics. read more

Bill Clark's is the best!! They are so service oriented and made me feel very comfortable leaving my car in their care. They are quick and only charge for what is necessary- no random add ons! read more

My cars brakes were really bad and I looked everywhere for quotes on how much it would cost to fix them, called bill clarks and they got me in the same day with really good pricing! Everyone working there was very kind. Told them I replaced my own intake hose and asked if they could check it out to see if I did it right and they did. Returned a week later to get my AC done since it's been broken for years. Joe was really helpful with telling me everything that needed to be done. They tell you a price and stick to it! No surprise up-charges. Definitely recommend if you want honest opinions, Great customer services, and amazing prices! Will definitely be going back! read more

My boyfriend Scott took his 1999 Chevy 2500 into the shop for a misfire issue. The guys at the shop were straight up and honest with everything. They took time needed and he didn't feel rushed in and out the door at all. They fixed it up and the truck is happily running down the road again. THANK YOU!! Honesty, fairness and all you look for in a good mechanic, sounds like this shop checks all the boxes. You all are appreciated. read more

Joe is always friendly and helpful! I've learned that this is the only place in Ventura you should bring your vehicle for service you can trust. If they'd don't offer what you need for your vehicle they will give you a recommendation of where it can be done. I'd give this business 10 STARS if Yelp allowed it! read more

We love Bill Clark Automotive. We take our Honda CRV and Honda Pilot for all services. The passenger window in the Pilot wouldn't go up. Our Labradors window when driving around town. We called and got it in yesterday and was able to get it fixed the same day. Joe and Becky are so friendly and professional. Told Joe that was Dustie's Moo Cow window when we take our country ride every Friday and picnic. We highly recommend them. read more

I want to give a shout out to Joe at Bill Clark Automotive. He did a great job fixing the AC in my Jeep Cherokee. He was great at explaining the issue and the cost. Honest and reliable for sure. Highly reccomend this team and next time I need a mechanic I will trust them again. Thanks Joe! read more

I called a number of shops the week after Christmas no one had any availability. I spoke with Alex he explained that his boss was on vacation but he would be happy to look at my car, He was very courteous and really did a good job testing everything he could. Being a person that has worked and been around cars don't be Leary by how young the employees are they are very knowledgeable.Unfortunately the issue was more than the car was worth. When I picked up the car I asked if he had time the next day for an oil change on our other vehicle. He was able to work it in the next morning. The shop was vey clean and even had cameras everywhere . Definitely comfortable leaving my car there. It was our first time and we will definitely be back read more

I got recommended here by a coworker. Oh man was he right. Joe was courteous and professional. He listened to what I thought was wrong with my car and took notes. I had been told by another mechanic that my car was fine just needing a tune up. Then when my boyfriend's car pooped out right in front of the garage they came over to one see if we were ok and gave us a quick jump. It was super cool and made a truly wonderful impression! I think he's going to start using Bill Clark's too. When he called later that same day he told me that my car needed new fan belts, a transmission flush and fluid change, and that I had a bad wheel bearing. That was the sound that I had taken my car to another mechanic for and I had been told twice that it was nothing important. His prices where fair, and he works really quickly. I dropped my car off at lunch, got a call about the issues a couple hours later, and it was ready mid-morning the next day. When I came to pick it up my car had been washed! How awesome is that! He showed me the parts and explained how badly I had need a new wheel bearing. I am taking my car here for all future services. I trust him, and cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

I heard many good things about this shop and took my car there for a repair. Unfortunately my experience was absolutely awful. The shop never called with a quote/diagnosis and when I finally called hours after I was told I would be contacted, the information was lacking. I decided not to have the repair done at that time and went to pick up my vehicle. MY car was not there. The mechanics had taken it for a joyride!! They tried lying, saying it was for a test drive which was ridiculous since no repair was made and the "diagnosis" was done. The mechanic used 1/3 tank of gas on this joyride. I should have called the police, instead I called the owner and he really didn't seem to care that this occurred. I did get reimbursed for the gas, but he did NOT apologize to me in person as he said he would do. I don't trust this mechanic at all and would not recommend trusting your vehicle here. read more

Still absolutely fantastic service! Recently had an issue with my steering. Joe checked first to make sure it wasn't a safety issue and then researched the issue. We talked and then come to find out, sometimes the steering issue is disguised by a suspension issue and Joe wanted to investigate that before replacing steering components. Double checking on safety and other possible problems was so important to me.....he didn't just go and replace parts at random. I've also referred all my friends to Joe and they all love his shop! Highly recommended! read more

I was lucky to find this place as I was referred to it by a coworker. I've since taken my car there maybe four times in the last five months for various issues, and they've been great to me. They did some minor errors once(water pump pulley wasn't bolted tight enough, but no damage), but recognized the mistake and stood by their labor warranty and replaced my accessory belt at no cost. Joe and the guys there are very honest mechanics, which is rare to find. read more

This guy is does great work. I took my used Truck in to get an inspection after purchase. I was lucky it only had minor issues.

Took my 2012 Toyota Yaris at 11 AM. Joe took care of it. Services were 75000 mile service, transmission fluid exchange, Oil & Air filter change. Joe definitely has a heart of a teacher and explains to you why he is doing what he is doing. He asks for your approval before doing anything extra to your car he sees it needs to be replaced which I really appreciate. All of this took about 1hr. Amazing local business! read more

Great customer service! Bill Clark Automotive was recommended to me by another mechanic I trust and I have never been disappointed. They are honest, thorough, straightforward, and really care about their customers. I've been to some mechanics that will lie about all kinds of things just to try to get me to pay more. Bill Clark never does that. read more

We just picked up our 1990 Honda CRX from Bill Clark's Automotive and, as always, their service was outstanding from start to finish. When the car wouldn't start far from home, AAA towed it to Clark's for me, who gave me a detailed diagnosis and repair estimate within the hour. As always, the repairs were done on-time and under estimate! and Joe even gave me a ride home! Anoth r great job! It is so wonderful to know we have such skilled and HONEST MECHANICS at Bill Clarks.....we would never trust our cars to another shop. read more

I usually don't ever write reviews for anything, but Bill Clark Automotive is absolutely worthy of a review. Joe and the mechanics are great! Honest, informative, and personable. Took my car in today for an oil change. Joe explained to me that my air filter was dirty and should be replaced soon. He said they could either blow the dirt off and I could replace it later, or they could replace it today with no charge for labor. Appreciated two things: 1) that he took the time to actually show me the dirty air filter and 2) I didn't feel pressured. He also explained that my brakes were good, but tires should be replaced soon. Thankful for a heads up and again, no pressure. I've left Bill Clark Automotive twice now with complete peace of mind regarding my car. I realize that not everything can be prevented, but I am so glad for their outstanding business and service! If you're looking for an honest mechanic, Joe is the man! read more

Made an account just to write this company a review. Took our car to AWS and spent over $2000 there. Soon after our car started overheating which had never happened before. We took it back to AWS 3 times, they charged us more money, and it didn't fix the problem. We called Bill Clark's today and asked if they could look it over. Not only did they see us immediately, they solved the problem and fixed it FOR FREE. Money's tight right now, and this meant the world to us. Shawn worked on our car, Becca was super sweet, everyone was great. Incredibly kind, honest people who know what they're doing. They'll be getting all of our future business. read more

I have been coming to this service station because they are the best in the area. Honesty and integrity. They do a great job at a fair price. They never try to up sell you they are the most honest and pleasant auto repair around. read more

I took my car here after going to Firestone. Firestone quoted that I needed so much work with a hefty price tag. Took it to Bill Clark and asked him to check if I needed all the work. Come to find I only needed a few things. His shop has saved me thousands on repairs. His prices were great for the repairs I needed. He is honest and dependable. I would not take my car anywhere else. Joe is so friendly and knows his stuff. read more

Years ago, we were referred to Bill Clark's Automotive by a neighbor. That was a GREAT referral! Bill Clark's is a small, family-run operation where the mechanics really know what they are doing, customers are treated in a friendly, courteous manner and where honesty and integrity are central to the operation. Estimates regarding both cost and time of completion, have always been accurate and the work itself has always been superior. In the five or so years that we've been taking our cars to Bill Clark's for service and repair, I have NEVER been disappointed and I recommend this local business at every opportunity. read more

Bill Clark Automotive is awesome! If you read my other automotive review, you understand I haven't had the best luck with my Jeep. Joe (the owner) is the only one I trust to touch it now. He is absolutely honest, more of an advisor if you will. He understands if he treats you fairly today, he will have you as a customer for life. There is a reason he is rated so high. Great, honest garage! On a side note, you can tell he takes pride in his garage. The place is so clean and organized. Everything in its place, just like it should be. Take your car to Joe. You will be so happy you did. read more

Excellent and honest team. Very responsive and reasonable price. I have been taking my car here for years and have recommended friends to Bill Clark and they have been very pleased as well. read more

Best mechanic I have encountered by far! I have been to all of the Ventura Ford and Toyota dealerships for services on previous vehicles I've owned and encountered had shady experiences at every single one. Bill Clarks is the only place I trust to get the job done right and for a fair price. Service is top notch too! read more

I'm so happy I found Bill Clark's Automotive! After my long time mechanic retired I wasn't sure where to go, and a friend referred me. They did a great job handling my car problems and working through the extended warranty company. I am now a forever customer read more

We've been using this shop for many years. Joe is honest, fair and does great work. If he recommends work I trust it is necessary. In need of auto service? Look no further. read more

I love this place. They are hardworking, honest and reasonable. We have taken every vehicle we have owned in the last 20 years to this business and we have always left very satisfied. We got an estimate yesterday from Paradise Chevrolet for $2710. + tax then took my vehicle with the same diagnosis to Bill Clark Automotive and they fixed the problem for $312. Very satisfied read more

I was told by the Toyota dealer that I needed a bunch of work done on a very old Corolla. These guys looked it over and said it was not necessary and that we could address issues separately over the next few months. They could easily have given me what I thought I needed - but they took the honest route instead. Very cool. read more

Fast turnaround, clean & efficient shop. Sean & Joe provided excellent customer service. They were prompt in diagnosing the problem with my car & were very clear in explaining their recommended service solution. The turnaround time was quick. The staff are very friendly & professional. read more

I've been taking my cars(3) to Bill Clark Automotive for years. I trust them and am happy with all their work. My latest repair required a second visit at no cost to me. Joe explained why I had the problem which required another day in their shop and was apologetic for the inconvenience to me and said he would make it right at no cost to me. Bottom line, Joe and his group can be trusted with your vehicle and have always been informative and honest. read more

I was thrilled to find Bill Clark Automotive about 5 years ago. They were recommended by a co-worker when I was having battery issues with my car. That time they actually fixed the problem for free! Since then I have taken my car back about 4 times. I find Joe, the owner, to be a pleasure to deal with -- always pleasant and easy. They are honest, have repaired my car to my satisfaction every time, and most importantly, they don't OVERCHARGE. Couldn't say enough good things about them. Being a single woman, it was a huge relief to find an honest, caring mechanic! read more
