I purchased a 2014 Ford Mustang Convertible from a used car dealer in LA and realized shortly after that the engine bracket was cracked. The car was still getting 22 mpg but after about 5k miles the bracket completely broke and while the car was still drivable the mpg dropped to 19 mpg. So I purchased bracket online and went searching for an auto mechanic to replace it on a Saturday when many other shops were closed. I called Bob's Auto Repair and spoke with Bob. He was kind and professional. After a quick call, I dropped by his shop for an assessment. He assessed the damage and gave me valuable insight into a potential accident prior to my purchase of the vehicle. After assessing, he offered a fair price and went right to work. 45 mins later with the bracket changed and new synthetic oil/filter replaced I was very pleased. Looking forward to seeing the MPG jump back up! Thanks Bob! read more

I took my car to have the window switch checked because my passenger window wasn't rolling up. I was awaiting an estimate from Bob and he called me and said he couldn't find the part but got the window up and charged me $250! I never told him to get the window up and he is a total rip off! $250 for work I never approved! Go elsewhere! read more

Bob is a great mechanic. Trusting, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great pricing Bob changes my oil on my dodge Ram eco diesel and I save s much $$ compared to the dealership. read more

Honestly one of the best mechanic experiences ever could not say a single bad thing about my time he took the time to tell me and explain everything he was doing to my car and walked me through step by step. Extremely fair prices especially when compared to chain companies I had no wait time and he worked extremely fast. If you need anything done to your car do your self a favor and check with him first I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. read more

I had a great experience! Bob, was very professional, kind, and has a good sense of humor. He fixed my brake lights. I will definitely come back. Thank you Bob!!! read more

Bob quoted a price to repair the AC on a Chevy Cruz on 07/21 he also promised to dicount us $45.00 on the repair and original quote. We are located in Oregon and our son lives in So Cal and the repair was being done on his car. When he went to pick up his car there was NO break of the $45.00 on the bill. Good Ol Bob lied to us and since the money was coming out of our pocket to cover the repair (over $1000) I was not letting Bob off the hook. He only decided to give our son back the $45.00 in cash when he back over there after I told Bob that the reviews of his shop would be posted to social media. Yes....He gave the $45 dollars back in cash, but we had to fight it out with him. Beware of Bob's deceptive business practices. As a business owner of over 20 years, I can say that I would never do this to one of my customers. read more

*Update review: I have to change my review because the patch work on my tire was still leaking air after 2 days of testing it. *Original review: Bob is a sweet, polite man. He took a look at my tire with a nail, moved my car, fix it in a jiffy, and I was on my way. read more

My car was towed to this place for repair and the day after had to bring it back was there another two days and after paying on the first day the car was worked on had to have it towed to the car dealer to have it rep again and only to have to pay again because the parts were installed wrong to begin with, bad work don't bring your car here read more

Bob is a sweet man! I dropped off my car in the morning and was able to pick it up that same evening. I know nothing about cars but he explained everything and helped me with what I needed and that's all. No surprises. When I went to pick up my car, he did mention some other things I'd need to get fixed too and what they'd cost (kind of bummed me out but he was letting me know so there wouldn't be any surprises later on down the road which I appreciate). I think he could also tell that I was stressed out about my car so he would make jokes and try to lighten my mood which I appreciated. Nice guy. read more

After coming to this place so many times , prices started changing and rising, which was understandable because the whole pandemic situation and business do there best to keep open, but man this last visit was a surprised, not so good at all, brought my truck for oil change ONLY and end up leaving with a swap battery. Confronted the owner and he said he has no clue about what happened, he claims no one helps him, but I found my battery hidden in his shop from a customer that was there to get his car serviced. Do not come to this place. Unorganized, messy place, parts everywhere all over the shop. Pay the extra bucks to get it done the right way . read more

First things first if you ever go to this man make sure you buy your parts before going when I went he try to up sell me a part for my car 400 extra dollars when I confronted him about it he tried to make a bunch of excuses and tell me it wasn't him it was the guy that he works with next-door I know for a fact these people are scamming make sure if you ever go thereTake someone with you that knows what they're talking about because this man will get over you read more

Very amazing service! Out of all of the mechanics my family and I have been to in the past Bob is the absolute best he is very attentive, knowledgeable, understanding, kind, and overall the most honest mechanic I've met! Because he only charges you for the actual labor time he puts in to complete a job plus his prices are more then reasonable especially since he does all the work himself! Another cool thing is how he keeps you up to date on what's going on and is very considerate! read more

My car wasn't driving and got towed to bobs place. I got lucky they took it to a good mechanic! He was able to diagnose what was wrong and give me prices. I ended up junking the thing since there was no guarantee it would run. He's really great though!! read more

Totally dishonest. I've known this thief for years, and let me tell you. Don't sign a blank repair order like he trick "F"'d me into doing while a extensive repair job. I promise you he will take any advantage to escalate the final bill. He also charges 3-5 times the cost of the parts in question. I don't begrudge anyone making a living, but don't take advantage of a good customer. I've referred him numerous customers, and even help sell cars he acquired because people couldn't pay his bill. Lien sales he calls it.????? He's good but not always straight Take it from a US Air Force Vietnam Veteran ! This smelly mechanic is a Crook. Just look at his empty repair stalls, compared to others. Not much repeat business. Wonder Why? read more

If I could give Bob zero stars, I would. Had to tow my boyfriend's 2004 BMW to a mechanic because it was leaking coolant. Heard about Bob's "cheap" prices so I went. He seems like a sweet guy at first but he's a total CROOK. I already knew that a coolant pipe was broken and needed to be replaced, I just didn't know which one it was. I knew this because I had it inspected by a different mechanic who didn't have time to fix the BMW. Bob said he could do the job, but it would cost $432. We knocked the price to $400 and expected a great job to be done. Bob also said that our reservoir tank wasn't acting compatible with the pressure checks. Mind you, we had just replaced our reservoir tank not even a month ago. He decides to steal our brand new tank and replace it with an old ass one. 2 days after we picked up the car, it was leaking coolant again. This time, at an even faster rate. My boyfriend had taken it back to him and complained because WTF BOB? $400 down the drain. Bob said that we had an oil leak as well, which wasn't true because oil isn't BLUE, fucking coolant is jackass. We just needed him to fix the coolant pipe he had promised to fix. Nothing got done. Anyway it's been 1 week and a half since. I now have to bring my mother down here to get through to his thick head so we can get our money's worth because we basically paid him to do diddly-squat. I highly recommend NEVER coming here and being tricked by his kindness. He'll probably take brand new parts off your car and replace them with old jacked parts like he did us. OH, and you'll be driving off the lot with even worse problems so save your money, I beg you. read more

Bob is not very honest he told me could fix do the job then he couldn't get it done my angel it was on I took it to him to replace the part he said it was fixed 2 days later the light came back on I'm trying to get my car smiled so now he told me to take a bag and he did the 2nd one for free still charge me $80 could not guarantee that the light would not come back on I am very dissatisfied but I believe in God so it's up to him to judge Bob read more

I absolutely adore Bob!!! He is awesome! I swear, he keeps my baby running beautifully! His prices are fair and if for some reason he doesn't find anything wrong, he tells you! He grisly is one of the last honest mechanics. He runs the shop by himself and is always busy so your car may stay over night if it's something more involved than an oil change. Just make sure that you go to HIS shop! The guys that have the other bays are not the best of character, in my opinion, they over charge. Honestly, I'm going to go to Bob for everything for as long as he stays in practice! read more

Where do i begin, i was looking for someone to rebuild my engine . I found this shop and wanted to give it a try because at the moment he gave me a reasonable price. But started noticing that he was being sloppy with the work he was leaving old parts that needed to be replace to save on money. Since the place he sent it to, to get machine n clean did not come out good the first time then he sent it out a second time and charged me for it. After the vehicle was done the vehicle was idling bad, timing was off, kept shutting down. I kept bringing it almost every weekend for him to fix but he could not find anything wrong. Each time he would see me he would be annoyed and didn't want to really spend time the time to fix it . Not even after charging me almost $5000 over a engine rebuild. I will never bring any of my vehicles here again, i think he is better only replacing lightbulbs or oil change. Bigger job you better off somewhere more professional and that will honor the price and not have to pay for the shops mistake and actually know what they doing. read more

NO, I really wanted to write a fantastic review for Bob... he was such a nice guy. But he did a pretty lousy rushed job on my car... I'd honestly prefer to pick it late than drive around with the steering seizing up after I've just coughed up $900+ and told him I driver Uber, ...You know with suing passengers, and have a kid's child seat as well. Anyway, clueless Bob then stares back at me like 1 o'clock half struck when I pick up the car a second time, $300+ and I remind him I am doing Uber... yes this time he's got the right steering pump and "fluids", yes previously he'd dumped transmission red fluid in there, but he had managed to totally decorate the inside and outside of the car in grease... both, paw and ass prints all on the inside. Fortunately, I wore jeans to do pick it up, not expensive dress pants. duh Bob?!? My advice is avoid. read more

A while ago, I was next door getting my car smog checked. I was in ridiculous need of an oil change, and the guy that did the smog check recommended I just pop over next door to Bob. I'm not too familiar with car things, and since I wasn't there for a repair, I can't say much. But he was very kind and personable, and I thought the price for the oil change was fair. I'll probably continue to get oil changes here, and will certainly try him if I ever need a repair, at which point, I can update my review to cover more of his services. read more

I took My van here, gave Bob my brand new breaks I just bought from auto store, he charged me $140 turns out this CROOK NEVER PUT THEM ON!! now I have to come up with the money for the breaks, and money to have someone put them on, thanks for taking advantage of a woman...bob your a dick read more

Hard working honest mechanic. I'm very pleased with the work he did on my car and will take it back to him again. Glad to have found him!

Very honest guy with great prices. Do not go next door to the other oil change place by mistake.

Bob is awesome. He knows what he is doing and is honest. I came in fo a specific issue. Not only did he quickly solve my issue but also gave my car an overall inspection. read more

Best auto mechanic in town, he replaced my rack and pinion on my camry, very happy with his service.

My mom has always had car problems that never can get fixed with any other mechanic until she came to Bob's. He is pricey but he fixes the problem. You don't have to worry about returning again to fix the same car problem. And he's such a sweetheart. And you don't find many good honest mechanics nowadays. He's a rare one. read more

It is so hard to find a good mechanic. Today was my first visit to Bob. I actually ended up using him by mistake because I thought he was a different mechanic I was looking to try. Long story short, he is very pleasant, open and honest, and explains everything to you, answering any questions you have. He takes the time to make sure you are comfortable with him and what he is going to do. I asked him to check and repair my brakes, which he did. The estimate was reasonable and the actual cost was less than the estimate. He is one of the few mechanics I've met during my lifetime who has integrity. (I've been driving for more than 40 years.) I don't usually recommend mechanics until I have had extensive experience with them, but I do plan to use him again. For now, based on this first visit, I'm giving him 5 stars. read more

Brought my Car to Bobs repair and got screwed, he shows as auto electrical repair, but could not fix the gauge cluster in my car and still charged as if he had repaired it. In fact he made it worst Then I got in my car and realized he had never put down those paper protectors on the floor boards and never covered my seats my leather seats were full of oil/grease. I would not recommend him. read more

Bob was very easy to work with and honest. I was quoted quite a bit more at another shop for repairs. I'd recommend Bob any time.

My family and I have been going to Bob for years now (my mom, dad, and I all have older cars that are still going strong thanks to him!). Not only is he a great mechanic, but he really takes the time to explain exactly what happened and what he will be doing to fix it. Bringing your car to an auto shop can be a really stressful situation, especially when you have no idea what the issue is or what the cost will end up being. Bob, however, always makes it a pleasant experience, which I truly appreciate. Thank you for everything, Bob! read more

My first review post ever. I don't like to write reviews, but my auto repair experience here is so good, I have to share it. I stumble upon this plaza at the corner of white ave. and arrow hwy. on a Friday afternoon. There are several auto shops in this plaza. Lucky me to stop at #108 Bob's auto electric & repair. I got a broken side mirror to repair. I actually went to several shops along arrow hwy before Bob's. They all told me it couldn't be repaired, buy a new one instead. The price they quoted ranges from $190 to above $220. Well, I almost gave up, and then decided to give one last try before ordering a new one. I stopped at Bob's. He told me since the mirror itself is not broken, he'll give a try, no fix, no fee. How can I argue with that deal! It turns out he not only fix the problem, he only asked for 50 bucks! Very honest and hard working guy. It's hard to find this kind of auto shop these days, when most shops only want to make quick bucks with easy work. Bob runs the business by himself, works for himself, he is his own boss, he treats customers with honesty and sincerity. He only charges $23 for oil change, by the way. read more

I would not trust this mechanic at all. He ripped me off. I had an power module out on my SUV. Bob said it was my fuel pump and would take 5 days to order. I went to the dealership 45 miles away to get the new fuel pump. He charged me 6hours to install it when the job took him less than 3 hours. He works on others cars while he is taking that time charging your hourly rate Come to find out it wasn't the fuel pump at all. He couldn't fix the problem and I was out 700$ for a new fuel pump I didn't even need and 6 hours of labor for a job that left me in a worse situation I had no choice but to go to the dealer to be told it was a power module and there was nothing wrong with the old fuel pump. Additionally he disconnected the wiring to my fan which caused the SUV to over heat because he disengaged the wiring for no reason Stay far away from this mechanic if you know what's good for your car and your wallet A complaint to the better business bureau has been done read more

Had my own oil and oil filter and Bob changed both on the cheap. Also changed my spark plugs which I purchased as well, and offered to put on a windshield wiper. Do yourself a favor and skip the lines next door and use Bob's services. No rush and honest explaining mechanic. read more

I had Bob fix my fuel pump for my Toyota Tacoma back in August of 2015. The fuel pump he installed went out last month-Jan. 2017. I took it to another mechanic in Pomona, and the mechanic confirmed what I suspected. Bob installed a used fuel pump he most likely picked up at some pick-a-part place. He charged me $950.00 for labor and parts, he originally wanted $1000.00! I had the mechanic in Pomona put in genuine Toyota parts, and he charged me $800.00. My truck runs better. My advice, stay away from Bob! He will charge and arm and a leg for used parts! read more

Bob is a great detailed and thorough mechanic. I originally took my car to a well known mechanic place with good reviews. They tried everything to fix my Ford Focus but was unsuccessful. They kept throwing parts at it and saying this is problem. After two days of them having my car they told me they cannot find problem. A tow truck driver recommended I have car towed to Bobs shop nearby. Bob immediately started at my car checking everything in detail to trace problem. He was determined to find problem even with no engine light or code showing on vehicle. It is very difficult to diagnose problem on vehicle with no codes or engine scan. He found problem in a few hours not days like other place. His prices are reasonable considering your getting solid work done. You can buy the parts yourself and bring to him if you like. He will explain to you in detail what needs to be done and how he will do it. He has 30 yrs experience so your not getting the high school graduate kid that most places hire these days. He knows his stuff and will get the job done. I highly recommend him. read more
