Not sure if they even checked my car they quoted me for something my car didn't need ended up being something completely different and cheaper thankfully and this is not there name anymore read more

Came in with what I thought was an emergency on a drive from LA to Sacramento. They were very receptive and knowledgeable. They tested my truck right away and found it was something minor. Seemed like good people. read more

Quick and to the point. Understood what I needed and didn't try to fix anything extra.

New owner Misdiagnosed Changed parts for profit, had my car for weeks, towed to another shop, found problem in 2 mins, read more

Advertised as mobile mechanic, then says they need the car at shop to diagnose. Verbatim said "we can't accommodate your schedule good luck sir". Don't list as mobile mechanic if you don't have the ability and definitely don't be a smart ass with customers. read more

There is no one in town better than Tony. My family and I have taken every vehicle we own to him, and have never been let down. He is always willing to help no matter how busy he is, and if he can't do it, he makes sure someone else there can. If you're looking for quality work from a genuinely nice human, which is hard to find these days, I highly recommend Car Care. read more

Very upfront and honest. (Yes, a car repair shop not trying to gouge anyone!!!) I can highly recommend this repair center, I've used them a few times and been very surprised and pleased! See Damon - very helpful! Thank you Car Care Clinic read more

Steve is the absolute best. There's nothing better than a mechanic that you can trust. As a woman it is difficult to always know that you're getting a true story. often times in the past I've gotten a quote for a repair, then had my dad ask the same mechanic for a quote. You wouldn't believe the difference in price and service recommended. Steve, however, takes the time to explain what's wrong, and gives options for repair. I had a check engine light that wouldn't quit. Even the Ford Dealership was perplexed. Steve tried a fix and wouldn't let me pay for the fix until it proved to be a true fix. He stated " drive it around for a few weeks and refuel. Let me know what happens". I was floored. He truly has a heart for his job and his passion is his business. Trust your car with Steve, and you'll have a new friend. read more

The BEST car care there is - why? Well - let me count the ways: - Knowledgeable - Experienced - Honest - Great Customer Service - Fair - Committed to Excellence! What more can I say - it doesn't matter how much or how little you know about what's wrong with your car, if you want to go to a shop (mechanic - Steve) where they'll take care of you & get your car working smoothly again, then this is the shop for you. I won't go anywhere else - been coming here for the last 8 years & still feel the same way! Try it - you'll be glad you did! read more

Steve is one of those honest mechanics that are hard to find. It may take a bit to get your car back if it is having real problems, but if you can wait, it is worth every minute. Your car will come back to you working and not with another more expensive problem to fix like you get with crooked shops. Steve has your vehicles best interests at heart. read more

I was checking the different pricing for a water pump and this business could not give me a quote. I told them it the engine type. Year make and model and that I needed a water pump which is one of those attached to the timing chain. I understand unexpected things but it's just a quote. If you give me a quote and I take it in and I had told you something wrong that would render the quote invalid obviously. I don't see the intent on not providing a quote as the other have so far ??? read more

This was the second time using this place. I originally took my car here based on the long standing years in business and great reviews, however once I got there I found out it had changed owners. Reluctantly I left my car there for repair and was pleasantly surprised that they were able to repair it before the end of the following day, much quicker than I anticipated. And now I had the need for their assistance once again, and again they were able to get my car back to me the very next day. Not only repaired, but spotless!! They took the time to wash and buff my car to a sparkling finish. I was so pleased with the entire staff from Haley in the office to the techs in the back for taking such good care of my car and treating me too notch. I recommend car care clinic 100% read more

Highly recommend Steve and his services. I only know how to drive my car, park it, and bring it in for maintenance when I'm told. My Lexus ES330 started making suspicious whirring noises whenever I turned the engine on, so I dropped by unannounced one morning to get it diagnosed after seeing the reviews here. Steve was incredibly accommodating (I realize now it probably would have been nicer if I had called in first), found the issue was with the alternator, discussed my options and gave me a quote (at least $200 less than the dealership would have charged), ordered the part, and had my car fixed up the next time I came in. It's been half a year and the car is still running great! read more

All I gotta say is Steve is the man! My lady's father recommended we go there - we were smelling burning plastic after the AC started acting up. We took it in and Steve let me know it was a burnt plastic bag stuck to the muffler (yeah, I'm a genius). - point being, we all know mechanics can (and most will) take advantages of dummies like myself, but he didn't. He kept it real and fixed my AC switch as well. He's got a customer for life, and I'm stoked to have a place to recommend to family and friends as well. Thanks again, BOSS! read more

Haley did not charge all your company did was a look at the car. A Toyota dealer wanted $9000. to fix head studs on my Camry. Your tech. told her my brakes were bad and leaking. I brought the car to your shop to try to get it fixed, it was leaking coolant which is red. rather then focus on the coolant leaking from the head gasket under the air intake they focused on a imaginary brake problem. When I was told about bad brakes I went to your shop and was escorted to my car to have a look. There was no fluid under the car because the coolant leaked out and there was no brake leak. I opened my hood and looked at the brake reservoir to make sure it's at the proper level which it was. I started my car and the brakes gave a firm pedal after vacuum pressure built. I decided to take my car home and was not charged, No paper work was ever filled out which I thought was weird, she said nothing was fixed so I was not going to be charge. Don't worry I found an engine and changed it myself.I'm now saving $50. To $60. a week in fuel read more

They fixed my mustang issue and let me tell you fast service and honest people will be back again very kind and attentive or my cars need and kept me updated I found my new shop and there trust worthy and honest read more

I had an out of town trip planned in the evening and my car started having problems that morning. I didn't have a go-to car shop so I had to do some research before finding this place. They didn't disappoint. They went above and beyond to get my car fixed in time. They are trustworthy and pricing is fair. I finally have a trusted go-to car shop!! read more

Just updating this review. The timing belt work to my 2004 Lexus IS300 was done back in October 2018. Since then my car started leaking oil. I took it back to Steve recently to see what the problem was. Looks like one or more of the replacement seals were not good. He's going to do the work again at no cost to me. Most shops and/or dealerships would NEVER do the work over again. They would find a find a way to blame the customer and charge you for the job all over. MAYBE...if you barked loud enough they might give you an hour labor off the 2nd job and a timing belt is a big expensive job. I can't say enough about Steve's professional ethics and his honesty. He's the best Auto Technician in Bakersfield I've found in a long time. I'm super happy I found Car Care Clinic. read more

Can't say enough good things about Steve and his professional ethics. I was on my way home from vacation at Shaver Lake. I live in Riverside. Just before the grapevine the check engine light came on. I called Car Care Clinic and was told to bring it in right away. All Steve had to do was wipe clean a sensor and send me on my way. But Steve noticed my front 2 tires were shredding and gave me directions to the nearest tire store. Without his help I know I would have broken down in the 100+ degree heat on the grapevine. Because of him, my family and I made it home safely. If I'm ever driving through Bakersfield and have car problems again, he'll be the first call I make. Thank you for being amazing. read more

Steve is very friendly and helpful, and really knows what he's doing. I think they are honest and good and I will bring my car back there in the future. read more

Steve is refreshingly honest. Years ago, I had an issue with a car randomly jerking and jumping out of nowhere. I took it to him and he realized I blew a rod. He noticed my car was still under the powertrain warranty and, instead of charging me $400 plus labor to get it fixed, he had the dealership fix it for free and charged me hardly anything for his time. He really is a great person and I know that no other mechanic would have done that for me. I still recommend him to everyone I know! read more

On the way from San Diego to Sacramento our car started making noise as my husband turned the wheel. After reviewed comments from Yelp, we decided to had it check at the Car Care Clinic. As we pulled into the shop, we were no longer able to steer the wheel. Steve quickly and honestly let us know the problem came from the negligence of the auto mechanic in San Diego. However, the missing part had to be overnight. We had no choice but rent a car in order to attend the funeral on time. We knew the car was in good hand the first time we met Steve. He even kept the damaged part and suggested we request the refund from our mechanic. He also let us leave our car extra days with no additional charge. We are so lucky to have Steve rescued us. read more

I went to Steve after reading about him being recommended by a neighbor on Nextdoor because my check engine light came on and the other mechanic I usually go to was backed up with work and could not help me that day. Steve found out right away the problem and we discussed the solutions and he got it fixed. I have dealt with many mechanics and at one time knew how to fix older cars so I usually have a good sense of things when talking to mechanics. I would not hesitate to go to Steve next time. Honest, more than fairly priced, and very knowledgeable about cars. read more

Been calling them for for 3 days straight never returned me call or answerd it, had to take my car to the dealership now where i know i will be OVERCHARGED smh. read more

Very honest when I called inquiring about what I should do about my motor mounts. Thanks!

Went to this place because of all of the great reviews. My husband did not disable our alarm correctly... So we Pd the man 350$ to disable the car alarm and for a new alternator ... but car will still need work, he tells us when pick it up that lights are on and I ask if it will prevent the car from passing smog? he said oh yea for sure... Said you'll have to find out what's causing it...... Uh ok I guess we'll go somewhere else for that ????? Will not repeat- got the job done . read more

Steve was greatly helpful, my car tripped a light on a work road trip. I was nervous to see if my car would make it back home, so I found car care clinic on Yelp and I gave Steve a try. I told him my situation and that I wanted to make sure I can make it home. So he stopped what he was doing and checked my tire pressure and pulled the diagnostic codes and wanted no money in return. I convinced him to take $10 which he said, let me grab some change. That's some customer service! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! We have had several vehicles, each with their own issues and we have always gotten work done here. They are very open with you and keep in contact with you if anything unexpected arises during the course of their time working on your car. Our first vehicle, my husband was pulling into the driveway, there was a sudden puff of white smoke and the engine cut out as well. Would not start, attempt to turn over, no sounds, nothing. I searched for car repair places and Car Care had the most impressive reviews. We had our car towed there and he said he's call us with the diagnosis. He called a few hours later telling us that the battery had been too small and had shifted and touched the frame which sent an electrical charge through the engine because the grounding wire had not been attached. He told us that best case, we just needed a new battery and ground wire; worst case, the electrical charge may have fried ALL of the wiring and ECU and would be VERY expensive. We gave him the go ahead. Next morning he called and said there had been a redundant grounding wire at the back of the engine so all we needed was 2 new grounding wires and a new proper sized battery. All in all, was like $100. He told us that he tried his best to do a really good job on all the cars he gets because he gets so much business that he really doesn't have the time to redo something. If you need to bring your car in for work, you can ask him to check if there is anything else that needs to be done, which one(s) need to be prioritized and how much each of them costs. He is VERY reasonably priced and gets back with you by the end of the day when you call and ask for quotes. We HIGHLY recommend Car Care Clinic to everyone we know that needs work done. read more

The best I have found. Fair, honest, good work. Steve will treat you right. I have been taking all my vehicles to him for around 5 years. Jeep, F150, 64 El Camino, he has worked on them all. From the brakes to the exhaust, to the A/C he has done them all. Top notch service read more

BIGGEST RIPOFFS EVER!!! So I went to them, based on yelp reviews, believing that they were honest (false ) and would give me a good deal (false again). No.1) They took three hours to diagnose my vehicle incorrectly, I work and do not have unlimited time to be wasted. No.2) Their entire facility was a complete hazard field, ablawsuit waiting to occur No.3) The estimate I received for just one window, not 4, but for all the windows was about $700. $700 for a window that needed only one regulator and took an average of an hour to fix. I finally listened to my grandfather and went to his auto body shop where they charged me $128 to fix the one regulator that needed replaced and gave me an honest assessment of the problem. My car windows work perfectly thanks to Neira's Collision Center on Meany Avenue. As for the CarCareFaciltiy, I will NEVER set foot in their again. read more

I knew this was the right shop when I walked in the door. Don't let the appearance of the office area put you off. These guys are straight car repair professionals, not housekeepers. I brought my Jeep Rubicon in with some leaky seals. Steve was straightforward about his schedule (they are busy), but got my jeep back to me same day. The price was extremely reasonable given the difficulty of the work. I have to say I'll be back when I have issues moving forward. read more

I found Steve by searching 'honest mechanic' when I noticed transfer oil all over the under carriage while passing though Bakersfield. Not only was he honest, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and an expert at what he does. He fit me asap, looked over the whole truck and didn't speak patronizingly when explaining my upcoming 'to do' list, fixed what i asked him to, and noticed a ball bearing going out that probably saved me (i was about to drive all day into the heart of Death Valley, and if my wheel would have fallen off it would have been a very very bad day). He knew his stuff. Lots of fancy cars, both old and new. He seemed genuinely excited to be able to work on my 85 Toyota. I live in northern CA, but boy oh boy do I wish he could be the one to regularly tool on my pickup. FIVE big ones for Car Care Clinic. read more

I stopped here on my way to the Bay Area, after spending the night in Bakersfield. I drove my tiny KIA Rio from Texas and encountered some snow along the way. Since I didn't have snow tires or anything, the harsh weather damaged the plastic under bottom of my car (not sure what it's called!) and it was low-hanging, almost about to fall off. Not only did CCC fix my issue in minutes, he refused to charge me for it. Leaving him a tip doesn't speak to my positive experience enough, so I wanted to leave this review! read more

Currently on my way from Orange county to Fresno from work and the skid plate under my car came loose. It started dragging on the freeway so I pulled off and looked these guys up. I called Jason and explained what was going on and they are repairing it right now for no charge. It was a small issue to fix but could be potentially dangerous on the road. Great service, honest and high integrity. Thank you again for going above and beyond! read more

Steve goes above and beyond. My engine light came on, he spent an hour scanning and looking up codes. At the end it was a minor fix. He is fair, honest and considerate. I would not go anywhere else in town. read more

Im a car guy and it takes one to know one. Best mechanic ive ever been to. I drive to bako from orange to take my car here when needed o and to see my girl maybe. read more

I couldnt be more pleased with the service Steve gave. Bring your auto mechanical issues here. This guys is an excellent mechanic, he's honest and compassionate..... I read a bunch of reviews about this place and I'm so glad I did. I just moved to Bakersfield 6 months ago and have been trying to find a mechanic like I had back home, knowledgeable, honest and caring. read more

We were away from home on a long road trip. Car broke down on I5 at the base of grapevine on a Sunday night. After looking up auto repair shops on Yelp I called Car Care Clinic first thing Monday morning. Talked to Steve about our situation (broken radiator, long way from home), he was patient and helpful. He called around and was able to get a radiator same day for my car. He re-arranged his work schedule and had us back on the road same day! His prices were also reasonable, even though he knew we were in a tough situation. Thanks Steve! Would not hesitate to recommend his shop to anyone. read more

I found Car Care Clinic (& Steve) via his great Yelp reviews. Steve's multiple 5-star ratings are not an accident! I'm the second owner of a 2010 Ford Raptor pickup. It is my transportation as well as my hobby and I do much of the maintenance myself. However, there were several things that needed to be done that required a professional with the right experience and equipment. Steve needed the vehicle for a couple of days to complete everything. When I got it back, I was very impressed that all was in order, and at a price far less than the local dealer (see my review of Jim Burke Ford - NOT 5-star!) would have charged. If you need any automotive work done, don't hesitate to trust Steve. read more

My check engine light began blinking and the whole car started rattling and sounded terrible. I pulled over and looked up mechanics on yelp immediately. Luckily, I found this shop a quarter mile away, so I idled my car there and was worried it was going to the car graveyard. This guy knows cars, and was straightforward with what the problems might be. I was pleasantly surprised when he called me only 3 hours later letting me know my car was fixed! The bill was extremely reasonable, and my car runs like new! This will be my go-to mechanic from now on. read more
