I would consider this place a go to for me and i suggest for others also. I've been getting the run around from people and being played with . I was really tired of it then i came here and this place really made me realize how bad other places are. Something so simple and they figured it out and others couldn't. People were telling me I should get rid of my car. I spent less then 300 dollars to fix my car when others said i should just get rid of it because its to difficult . They got to my car fixed it within hrs, they even had to get a part delivered and it still got fixed instantly. The mechanic really tells you in details so you can understand things to so you know you're not being swindled. This place seems really trustable. read more

Another great service at Bob and Kevin's!! Even after changing ownership a few years ago still maintains trustworthy professional service. My 2005 Honda Accord still runs well because of excellent care at reasonable cost. Thanks to Roy the owner!!! read more

Horrible service. Gives different / higher pricing if you're not from the Bay Area. The guy asked where I was from and when I said LA, he made a derogatory remark (he wasn't joking) and said pricing would be higher. What a jerk. My husband also went separately, same experience. Our business and money is better spent somewhere else. read more

They are my local mechanic and have been for years. Even though the original Bob and Kevin are retired, the mechanics owning and working this auto service business now are great. They also are so kind and generous of their time as when i brought in my motorcycle to have the air pressure checked. It was no issue. I bring in my kia niro for them to work on, yes, but it is nice they have such a welcoming attitude with me read more

Bob & Kevin's is small-town service the way it should be. Trustworthy, honest and always ready to help. I always turn to them first.

I have 2 10 year old cars in great shape but need regular fixes. These guys are no nonsense, fair, get the job kind of guys. Prices are fair. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Great service! Always on time, does a job of checking everything. Have been going to to them for over 25 years. Hattie read more

Brought my Honda in for an oil change and tire rotation. Got a call shortly after dropping my car off saying they weren't going to be able to rotate the tires because they couldn't find the key to the wheel locks. I asked if they checked both glove compartments, and they said they looked everywhere and there was nothing there. So they offered to break off the existing locks and replace with normal lug nut and I agreed to that, since I assumed I had lost the key. I figured this wouldn't be much more expensive than getting a new one, and that way I'd at least get my tires rotated. They were able to get a new set of nuts within a few hours, replace them, and rotate the tires. The two stars are because when I opened the glove compartment, the wheel lock key was sitting there right on top in plain sight. No idea how they could have missed it unless they did not actually check the glove compartments. So I ended up wasting an entire morning for something that should have only taken an hour or two. It also set me back $120, which is far more than a tire rotation and oil change should have cost. I am not advocating going to a dealership, but as a comparison this was twice what it would have cost me for an oil change/tire rotation if I'd gone there instead. read more

Have taken three different cars here over the last several years. Always great service. Honest and straightforward. Very easy to deal with. Various problems I've brought here: dead starter, brake pad replacement, brake AND rotor work, steering abnormalities, various problem lights, scratching sounds under the car (damaged plastic underguard). read more

LIFESAVERS!!!!!!! Going here was the best decision to make for my truck, Bob was very professional and honest. I was worried about my truck for a long time and other places I've taken my truck to didn't seem to be as thorough as him. After the job was done, I started it up, and it runs just the way i first got it and I'm honestly really happy about it. read more

I've been bringing my car here for years, and these guys are the best. Fast, diligent, easy to work with. I've never had them try to add services, and the prices are always reasonable. It's also easy to drop the car off and walk to Catrain, and then pick it up after hours. I never go anywhere else anymore. read more

Another emergency brought me to Bob & Kevin's. This time it was a stuck brake light switch. Bob was able to see me right away early Monday morning. The car was repaired and ready by lunchtime. Thanks "Dr. Bob". You are the best! read more

Took my car here after finding this place on yelp today. They are so sweet and fast! I brought my car in for a same day repair and they fixed it in about an hour. This location is everything!!!! You can walk to downtown laurel street in 2 seconds. We walked to get a treat and coffee and next thing I knew it my car was done! They charged a reasonable price for labor! If I need any car repairs in the future I will for sure be back! Thanks!! read more

About 15,000 miles ago I was told by another shop that I had 4mm of brake pad left. So I thought it was about time to bring in my car for a brake job. After taking off the tires and rotating them, Scott told me I still had 50% of my brake pad left, good for a few more years. Very trustworthy and honest guys. I'll be coming here from now on for all my auto work. read more

These guys are great. As a woman, I'm always skeptical when I have to go to a mechanic. My engine light was on and I expected that it was going to be something very expensive. I anticipated a $600 plus repair and they said they would look into it. I got a call shortly after I left and learned that it was simply that the bonehead at the drive-thru oil change place failed to reset the check engine light. A bonus - they determined that my back brakes were wearing thin and it would only be a short time before they would cause more damage. A recommendation I sincerely appreciated. So - if you want great auto repair and a spirited conversation about the Giant's or the A's, this is the place. Truly good guys who have built a strong reputation on honesty and good work. read more

My family and I have been going to Bob and Kevin's Service for 25 years. My 1974 Chevy Nova has 200K miles on it and still runs like a CHAMP!! I even bought a 1976 Chevy truck from Kevin and it still runs great to this day!! There is no other place I would trust to take my vehicles. I drive from Aptos to bring my vehicles to Bob and Kevin's Service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!! read more

Just thought I should refresh this... I have continued using these guys in the @6 years since the first review, and have had nothing but good experiences. They take pride in doing things right, and the costs are entirely fair. In fact, they usually come in below their estimate. They have taken on some odd repairs that required some investigation on their part, and always took the time to sort it out. Look, having a good auto mechanic that you trust is one of the keys to happiness. What more can I say? read more

Went here to have new rotors and pads installed. They quoted a reasonable price, had my car done before noon, and stuck to the quoted price. Pleasant guys, too. Give them a try. read more

. My son mustang had overhead....Called Bob he seemed really helpful on the phone. Had the car towed to the shop then Bob told me he'd look at it and tell me if he could help me or not. When he called me he told me everything that was wrong with it and that he could fix it. I told him to take his time I had been without a car for awhile. A week later he called time to tell me it was fixed!! It runs great!! Very professional and a lot quicker then my last mechanic. I will recommend Bob & Kevin to everyone. They don't overcharge, very professional, very helpful. Even gave me a new giants schedule. If you need a good, reliable, straight forward, auto technician call Bob & Kevin. Thanks guys.. read more

My driver side window of my Infiniti would roll up all the way when I pressed the up button but then go down afterwards leaving a gap every time despite pressing the up button. I called over 6 auto repair places in the area asking for help. most of them wanted me to go there and pay on average $100 for an "estimate". These guys answered my phone and candidly told me that I should try playing with the up and down buttons by resetting the memory of the window. I googled their suggestion for the infiniti and they were right - this was a common problem with infitinits and their solution was mentioned several times. I called back and told them it didn't work and then they told me that if that didn't work that I should call the dealership to do a total reset of the computer and that it was out of their realm. I googled that suggestion and they were right again. They are totally honest and didn't try to rip me off with an "estimation" fee of $100 unlike everyone else. If I have another car problem, I'd totally call them again and see them. read more

I was referred to them by the place across the street due to a three week waiting list many years ago. I never went back to the place across the street because Bob listened and was able to fix the problem that MANY other mechanics could not. They kept my 1984 CRX going to the ripe old age of age 28 years. They work on all kinds of cars - vintage and the latest models - I trust my new car and my safety to no one else. read more

The battery was almost dead so I needed to bring in replacement service to my 2009 Mini. I requested the quote to 8-10 auto repair shops and Bob&Kevins got back to me first. And Scott explained detail like which battery is better for my car. He performed great work, quick and honest! I used to use another auto repair shop which specializes in Europe cars, but from today I'd like to choose here all the time. read more

My dad who passed in 2008 always worked on his cars until he decided he was getting too old. He also taught me the basic repairs needed on a car. So he was extremely picky about whom he choose to use on his cars. As a women who understands the basics I can tell you I've run into some rather interesting situations in regards to cars & men who think they know more than I about fixing them. I have had Bob & Kevin work on my cars for years. Their pricing is fair. They always ask what you want done and give an estimate. If they find other problems they let you know before proceeding. Also when I was low on cash they would shop for a rebuild vs buying new parts. They have 5 stars on Yelp. I would give them a perfect 10! read more

I've brought three different cars into Bob & Kevin for a variety of reasons. It is such a relief to find an honest, reliable, high-quality mechanic. Not only do my girlfriend and I always bring our cars to Bob & Kevin, so does a growing number of our friends and family. Amongst us and all we've referred, we probably have accumulated more than 50 visits. No one has had anything other than an exceptional experience. read more

I love this shop... They are so nice to me!! My sister started to go there and I had some car troubles so she recommended I go there... I had a definite overhaul on my car.... It was is in pretty bad condition. I dropped my car off in the morning and they told me they would call me and tell me everything that needed to be done. They called explained everything and quote me a price... It was pretty expensive but for the amount of work that needed to be done it was definitely reasonable... They had my car done that day and it was ready to pick up at 5... They also included some recommendations of things that when I get the time and the money I should probably fix too.. I really enjoyed the service I got... the treated me fairly which made me recommend them to all my friends especially my girlfriends because as a girl it really hard to find a good mechanic!!! I went back there afterward to get my back taillight fixed!!! They did another phenomenal job with that as well... I really am excited I found a great mechanic and I am definitely never going anywhere else!!! read more

I was also referred to Bob & Kevin's by Nielsen (due to long wait for appt). Fair price and excellent turnaround. My car needed new brake pads + rotors and car was ready ~3hrs. read more

These guys are the reason my 1997 Jeep is still running. Their diagnosis of my "Jeep issues" have been spot on. I have traveled the Bay Area for excellent service and these guys are some are thorough, honest and provide quality service without delay. read more

As the other reviewer stated, I was also reviewed by Nielsen across the street since they were 2 weeks out. Bob and Kevin is a small shop, but they took care of our Jeep. We had a check engine light problem and they quickly figured the problem out, called me quickly to discuss, and had the car done by after lunch, which was a lot faster than I expected. They also looked around the car for any other issues and let me know all is fine. read more

So, here's the deal, we all know that taking your car to a mechanic is a scary thing. For me it was beyond scary. My dad is my mechanic but is now retired and wasn't able to do the work I needed. I went to Bob & Kevin's on a referral and was still a bit hesitant. I talked to Kevin and explained my problem. He was well spoken and said he would look into it and get back to me as soon as he could. He got back to me with the bad news and although it was bad news I kind of expected it so I wasn't completely freaked out...I gave him the go ahead and a couple of days later my car was complete and good as new. The bottom line on this shop is this --- a couple of good honest mechanics. I will not hesitate to refer my friends to them and I will take my car there in the future. Kevin went above and beyond with my vehicle and I feel so lucky that of all places I ended up there for some major service. Thanks Guys! read more

I took my truck here after it failed a smog check for an unknown timing issue. It ended up being a very expensive fix, but these guys made me confident they understood the problem, and they offered me several options for repair. I ended up having them perform the repair work, in addition to some other work I'd been putting off for awhile, like new shocks and fixing a leaky water pump. It ended up being an expensive trip to the mechanic, but I got the work I wanted done, and they had it ready the next day, despite me adding several things to the scope of work. Mechanics aren't cheap. But it's a lot easier to lay out the money when you're confident the guy working on your vehicle understands what needs to be done, and you're comfortable the work being done is necessary, and will be done correctly. read more

They always get the job done faster than they say they will. The guys there are very knowledgeable and friendly. Their rates are very reasonable. All around great place, I always go to them first when I need something done, before going to other shops (if the job it too big, etc). read more

I brought in my 96 Ford Ranger with several electrical problems and needed a service. Kevin fixed everything on time and I am still shocked how low the price was. Didn't even charge me to troubleshoot or fix the door chime. Great place. Highly recommended. read more

Heard about this place from a golfing buddy of mine when my wife's car needed a new timing belt and some other gaskets that my dealership said needed to be replaced. I had been unhappy with their service so figured I would give these guys a call instead. Scott was able to beat the pricing the dealership gave me and do it faster as well. When I went back to pick up the car Scott took the time to show me the parts they took out and explain how they were worn. Since they did such a good job on my wifes car, I decided to bring my car in for an oil change as well and he had me in and out in less than 30 mins. This is a Family owned shop and it shows. They really seemed to care that I was happy with the service, and again they beat the other pricing I had been quoted for the same work. I will definitely be bringing my cars here for any work for the foreseeable future. read more

Love this small family owned company! I wish there were more companies around like them. They are professional, efficient, and honest! My husband and I have worked with Scott and his father a number of times and we have never been disappointed. read more

What a great auto repair shop just down the street from home. Businesses like Bob and Kevin's are just one of the reasons why I love San Carlos. The auto shop is "traditional" in the positive kind of way. I dont believe they have a website but they are centrally located, good hours so if you want to reach them, just pick up the phone or drive on up. I have dealt with both Keven and Bob when needing to deal with my '69 Oldsmobile. They are both professional, friendly, and helpful. They are straight forward no nonsense kind of guys in a good way. They give a fair diagnosis, tell you what needs to be done and roughly how much. Then they support your decision. They didnt nickel and dime and were very fair in the way they do business. Good follow through too. I hope they continue to be very very successful. I am a fan. Thank you... read more

I found this place by accident, ans the yelpers reviews , my Ford Expedition was running rough Kevin was friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I thought it needed a tune-up but Kevin said it was the breaks that needed to be changed and a couple of other things. I was impressed with his honesty not every day you find a mechanich who is. I recommend this shop to anyone if you want good quality work. The price was right I will bring back my car again and again. Bob and Kevin have gain a customer for the life in me. read more

Thank u Yelp and thank u Bob & Kevin! First time customer and will definitely go back. My car "purrrrs" again!

Good place. Great mechanics. Old school. Love the older cars. Definitely should make the best list you are looking for.

I was having trouble getting fuel lid to open on my 4Runner and took it by the shop for a look. I figured the cable between the latch and the release had snapped and was going to need replacement. At the shop, Kevin (who I can only assume is the Kevin of Bob & Kevin, however I cannot confirm nor deny as I did not ask) was able to open it using a screwdriver and then showed me that the issue had to do with a cheap plastic spring that needed replacing (and that I could do it on my own) and not a problem with the cable. This probably saved me a couple hundred dollars. I left on my merry way, relieved that I avoided a large repair bill. Although Bob & Kevin didn't get my money this time around, I am super thankful for their honesty and will surely spread the word of their reputation. As a San Carlos resident, they will receive my business in the future. Thanks Kevin! read more

These guys deserve every star on Yelp! Scott from Bob & Kevin was quick in diagnosing the electrical issue in my 1989 Blue Bird Skoolie. He understood that this bus is my family's home and that getting the electrical issue fixed was an urgent matter to me. Within two hours of me asking for their help, Scott diagnosed and identified the issue, had the right part ordered and had fixed it. The price was very reasonable and I am super happy with the experience. I can recommend them to anyone who needs help with their vehicle. Thank you Scott! read more
