If I could give Gerald 10 stars, I would. He went above and beyond- even waited after hours to receive my car. I got my oil changed in the morning, ahead of a long drive. I had them top off the coolant as they said it was low. They failed to screw my coolant cap tight enough. My car almost completely overheated because of this. I had to scramble to find a mechanic in the middle of NOWHERE and luckily I found Gerald!!! This small issue could've caused me and or my car if we didn't catch it sooner. Kind, effecient and attentive, well-priced- the list goes on. Thank you so much!!! read more

I can't recommend Multifixitman's Auto Repair highly enough. On December 4th, I was driving down I-5 from the Bay Area to LA when my car suddenly started having issues. I pulled into a rest area and called State Farm, who referred me to Multifixitman's. Gerald answered right away and assured me it was okay if I arrived after hours since his shop is next to his home. My car was towed in, and Gerald immediately began diagnosing the problem. It turned out my water pump had failed and a hose had a major leak--despite having gotten an oil change and fluids topped off earlier that morning, my coolant was completely gone. Gerald took the time to show me exactly what went wrong and explain everything clearly. He treated me with genuine respect the entire time and never made me feel talked down to. Both Gerald and his wife were incredibly kind, welcoming, and understanding. The pricing was very reasonable, and he had my car repaired and back on the road within 24 hours. He also pointed out that my brake pads were extremely thin and made sure I understood the safety concerns. I told him I was heading home instead of continuing to LA, and he was visibly relieved. He said they would make it home safely but to replace them right away--which I did once I got back, since my boyfriend could handle that repair. I made it home safely, and my car has been running much better without any issues since the repair. If you ever find yourself broken down anywhere near Bakersfield, I highly recommend Multifixitman's Auto Repair. Honest, fast, fair, and truly caring people. read more

This man will go very far out of his way to help ANYONE fix ANY vehicle issue, and won't try to over charge you for his services! Not just service with a smile, but a true desire to solve problems and help others in need of someone they can trust. He's a rare breed, a true diamond in the rough. I'd recommend this gentleman to anyone in need of vehicle services in the Bakersfield area. Thanks again!! read more

Ass. Sorry but when you charge so much only for you to not fix anything????? It's kinda crazy. Don't come here! We couldn't get a refund, and we couldn't get it redone without having to pay the same price again. I've heard multiple people come here and all were done so dirty. Save your money, don't come here.

Honest, hardworking, trustworthy. Helped my son out traveling back from AZ to CA with a new alternator. Did the work right away and couldn't have been nicer. Definitely recommend! read more

Had a hiccup on the road with an RV sprinter van and he was more than accommodating! Can't think of a better name than multifixitman! Thank you!!! read more

We where on our way back from a family trip when our car broke down on the highway. We were still 4 hours away from home. I was very lucky to get to this place. It was close to closing time, yet they took the time to get my car all fixed up so we could make it home. He could of just patched it and we could have made it home, but he took the time to fix it right so we didn't have any problems later on. They provided a great service and were very efficient and kind. In the end I was expecting a bigger bill, since it was so overtime and last minute, yet the price was very reasonable. talk about a bad situation having a silver lining. I very highly recommend this repair shop! Thanks for taking care of my family. read more

I value communication, intelligence, good work, competency, HONESTY, transparency, and INTEGRITY and that's what you get with Gerald. This man is a genius and fixed everything, literally everything we pointed out on my father's truck that other mechanics failed to do and wouldn't even touch (yet charged us a lot of money for)! He went over and beyond to get things done. His rate and prices are incredibly FAIR and worth the trek out there. Other mechanics charge obscene rates and up-charge like crazy (as a woman, you have to be especially careful) and follow "the book" to determine how many hours they'll work on your car instead of ACTUAL hours worked on your car. Gerald follows actual hours and is honest. I have been to countless mechanics out there, some good, most bad from LA to Bakersfield so trust me when I say Multifixitman Gerald truly is a diamond in the rough. My mother and I are so relieved that we found Gerald and you will too!! Good man. Awesome mechanic. read more

Gerald was a true angel and lifesaver. My friends and I were lucky to have the problem with our car happened close to Multifixitman's Auto Repair, the problem was very hard to fix and Gerald really did everything he could to make it happen. After a little while we were able to get back on the road! For the type of problem the car had, plus some other difficulties for the specific day in which this happened, I'm sure any other mechanic would've said it couldn't be fixed on that same day. But not with Gerald! He's truly the best! And also a very kind human being as well as his wife and family. The pricing was also very reasonable. read more

Gerald and his wife are amazing!! I came in late on a Friday. He dropped everything he was doing. He figured out I needed an alternator within 5 minutes of trouble shooting. Instead of me paying for a hotel and Huber in a town I don't know at all. They offered to fix my car right away and get back on the road traveling. Gerald and his wife finished the car in the evening, holding flashlights to finish the job. !! I am so grateful. They made a terrible situation, so much better. Thank you so much read more

A few years ago my family and I were on our way to San Francisco from Orange County. I was driving behind my dad's truck (05'GMC) when I heard a loud pop and multiple fragments falling from under the truck; Turns out the Driveshaft had finally "given out." We heard of Multifixitman from the tow truck driver who helped us out & I've got to say it was easily one of the best decisions we ever made. My family and I are very grateful to Gerald for not only fixing my dad's truck in a short amount of time but improving it by installing parts from a larger driveshaft to maximize performance and reliability. Gerald, Thank you and if I'm ever in a situation like that again, you'll be the first person I call. read more

These guys saved my bacon! We were returning to LA from Monterrey when our car started acting funny and eventually broke down on the 48 southbound. We were 100 miles out from LA and it was just starting to get dark. Our tow guy recommended multifixit by name and asked us if we wanted to get in with him before he closed shop for the day. (He's a bit out of the way, so if you're on your own, have a ride ready to get you back into Bakersfield!) He had our car in, quickly identified the issue as my alternator going out, and said he'd have it ready by the following afternoon. He even called a personal driver he knew to get us to our hotel in town. The next day we showed up at the time he suggested, and he was just finishing up the job. We stuck around for half an hour and we were ready to get going again! He was patient, straightforward, friendly, and easy to talk to. Highly recommend, and can't thank him enough for getting us back on the road!! read more

So so SO happy to find a competent, honest and reliable mechanic. The bonus? We literally live 5 miles away. We usually go to Priority Automotive but man it's a coordination nightmare. I'm friends with the owners and they do great work but they are always crazy busy and the hour long round trip just to drop off the vehicle is the reason why I drove around for three months without A/C. Gerald fixed it in less than a day and charged me less than I expected. It appears to be residential but is zoned for this use. When I first arrived I was reluctant to get out of my car because of two "Beware of Dog" signs and an open gate. Then an elderly terrier trotted out, lol. read more

These guys are great! Driving home for the holidays, my car started making a low, rumbling noise. I found Multifixitman's through Yelp. Called, and they said they would be able to see me immediately. And they did. They quickly diagnosed what they thought was the issue. Once fixed, the owner accompanied me on a test drive. Unfortunately, turned out something more was going on. But now that he'd heard it for himself, they were able to locate the problem -- I needed a new controller arm. He called around, found one that wasn't too far away and they worked quickly and efficiently to get me back on the road as soon as possible. After installation, we took it for another test run and this time the noise was gone. It has been over a month and car is still running great! I really appreciate how fast they were, the care they took and their dedication to making sure the problem was really fixed. They are also very reasonably priced. I hope you don't have car troubles, but if you do, I highly recommend them! read more

We drove in to Mr. Multifixitman's shop in dire straights. He solved our problem (warped rotors) and was very kind the entire time. We left Mr. Multifixitman's shop with a safe well running car. read more

This man took care of me. I don't know anything about cars and my '98 Honda Civic blew a head gasket coming down the grapevine MOVING from LA to Santa Cruz with a car full of my stuff. He ordered my piece right away, and as I took the bus up to start a job that was waiting on me, he kept me in the loop about the status of my repair. He was communicative, compassionate and generous. This guy not only fixed my car but inspired some more trust in humanity in a time where I feel sketched out by everything around me. Note to self for when I'm rich I'm ever not poor and desperate and driving beaters: If I ever make a ton of money, I will send all my cars regardless of where I live to this man to be fixed read more

We had a car malfunction on the 5. We limped over to Gerald's shop. He diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, and got us back in working shape in a few hours. We are very grateful and highly recommend him! read more

I can't be more grateful for this guy. Don't be fooled or sidetracked by the home garage. He has a huge garage and he is very qualified for all sorts of work. In chatting he mentioned that he has been a mechanic for many years but always worked for someone else. So he is building his own business now. Because of his location, he gets a lot of travelers (as you can see in all the other 5 star reviews). Gerald has been working to build more local business. So if you need anything, spread the word and go to this guy. He rebuilt our transmission at such a fair price I'm still stunned. He called other locations to see what it would cost to just bring our car somewhere else and he offered me a fraction of those prices. He did incredible work and was very helpful in making sure I always knew options available to me. read more

We were headed home to Seattle when our check engine light started blinking. We stopped here because of the great reviews. Gerald started looking at our issue immediately on a Saturday. Our issue turned out to take longer than we had so we rented a car to get home and my husband flew back to get our car. He fixed it for the price he said, he was communicative, and my husband is home and the car works perfectly. I know the fix was different than he originally thought but he worked really hard to keep our quote to what he originally told us. He also had some extra time and bugged out a spot on my car that had been keyed in addition to an oil change he didn't change. We also have a two year old that he let play on the toys in his backyard. I was especially thankful for this, otherwise we would have had a really fussy child at some point. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Just outside of Bakersfield we started hearing a scraping noise from the bottom of our car. Apparently a skid plate had partially come loose and was dragging against the road. We still had a long way to drive and didn't want to just have it dragging the whole way. We found Multifixitman and he took a look at our car immediately and quickly got it reattached, which wasn't simple since some of the mounting points had been scraped pretty badly. We were very grateful for the quick work since we still had a lot of driving to do and the issue had already delayed our schedule by a bit. Highly recommend Multifixitman for auto repairs in/around Bakersfield! read more

We were on our way to San Francisco when all of a sudden our car broke down and we were stranded. Luckily my super best friend is super smart (like Ivy League smart) and she found Gerald's shop. I was baffled and made my way straight over there. He knew exactly what was wrong with the car as soon as I opened the hood. The price was very good compared to something such as autozone where I would've paid at least $300. I highly recommend this place as he gets the job done quick and amazing. Honestly just go to him cause he's great Also here is the business card read more

Multifixitman’s Auto Repair - Business card - Auto Repair Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I needed a new wheel bearing assembly. I called two other places in Bakersfield. One was WAY more than Gerald's price. The other one wanted the car for the whole day to give me an estimate, and if they had to do more than a visual estimate it was 100.00 to be put towards the bill. If I decided to use them. I still can't believe how little I paid. A month before I found Gerald. I got some other work done at a shop in the SF Valley, which I paid 1,400.00 for. Gerald said he would've done it for 600.00 Gerald's a great guy, totally honest. As long as I'm living here I won't use anyone else. Thanks Gerald. read more

Literally, a hole in the wall. Gotta love that mom and pop feel place. I was stranded on the shoulder of I-5, heading from San Fransisco to San Diego. I think my engine blew.. It was almost midnight and I had almost no battery charge on my phone anymore. I've checked out Yelp with the repairman with my closest proximity, which brought me to the Gerald from Multifixitman's Auto Repair. He was a savior indeed!! He picked up his phone even though it was late at night and helped me getting in when I arrived with the tow truck. What I like the most about this place, is that Gerald is very reasonable and very honest. He would not up-sell you unnecessary services. He wants you to be on the road ASAP and safe. His work is very thorough with a very keen eye for detail. About my engine: Yes, it blew. And yes, he gave me the option to purchase a replacement Engine myself, because then the warranty would be under my name. He understood that if anything were to happen with the engine, that I wouldn't be confined to his shop only (which is +-250 miles away). Gerald went above and beyond and worked until late in the night to get me on the road within the next day. I felt very welcomed, and was treated like family. Even if you live in town, in Bakersfield; please do give this place a try. It is very honest, integer, and efficient. read more

See the five stars on this business?? They are warranted. This guy is the real deal. He knows his business, he's kind and he's not trying to rip you off. Fairly priced repairs, done right, and quickly... AND ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND... everyone else was closed. I wish these stars were hearts because that's what it really deserves. He's located a little ways from town. It's not a typical storefront... it's just a backyard, but his shop is excellently appointed with anything and everything you'd be likely to come across in an expensive dealership. Maybe that's why his prices are so good... maybe because he's not a shady dude... whatever the reason, if you're stranded or worried about finding an ethical and polite mechanic who won't talk down to you, I would HIGHLY recommend going out of your way for this kind of service. read more

Gerald was great! He had A/C and some shade set up for us in this very hot summer weather. Very friendly and very reasonable price. Helped us in every way he could. We had a pleasure of getting to know his family as well. I highly recommend him. read more

I am so thankful for Gerald! I live in LA but found an old 1979 campervan for sale in Bakersfield. I drove over the grapevine to check it out and it was great, but I wanted to have a mechanic take a look at it before made the purchase. The owners agreed to take it to a mechanic that I found to have it inspected the next day. I found Multifixitman on yelp because of his 5 star reviews and I'm so thankful. Without ever meeting him he inspected the van and gave me a very reasonable assessment. He figured the radiator might have issues so he gave me the three options and explained them all to me. I bought the RV from the owners while the van was still in the shop and i was in LA, but Gerald stayed in communication with me the whole time letting me know the progress. Then the real test was driving it back from Bakersfield to LA in 105 degree weather and it made it perfectly! I'm so thankful I found this place and can't recommend him enough. It's a little bit out of town but worth it. He knows his stuff and is far more reasonable than anyone I would have found in LA. read more

Honest, what more can you ask for. Prices way cheaper than big box shops. Finished the work on my car very fast. I will always go back and would definitely recommend to everyone. read more

Five stars isn't enough for Multifixitman Auto Repair. My GMC Safari Van's engine stopped suddenly while traveling on I5 and this shop was the closest auto repair. From the moment my van arrived by tow truck until my car was repaired, Gerald was totally focused on getting my van repaired so I could continue my trip. Diagnosing the problem was not easy, because there were no codes stored in the ECU. However, Gerald was persistent with testing and diagnosis until the problem got fixed. He even postponed dinner to get me back on the road. The problem was with the van's 15 year old 192k mile original ignition coil and ignition control module. They suddenly failed and the engine stopped running. Those parts are difficult to reach and replace, but Gerald was persistent. I highly recommend this shop for any vehicle repairs or maintenance. read more

If you ever break down on the I-5 in this area like I did, I recommend this shop. It even if you live in the Bakersfield area. The people are friendly and know what they're doing. Don't be scared by the fact that their shop is in their back yard. That just gives it a homey feel! I was on my way home from Northern California yesterday (Memorial Day) when my car decided it just wasn't going to do anything anymore. It just up and quit on me. After a stressful few hours on the side of the road, a tow to a local Best Western, a night unexpectedly spent there, and then a second tow to the shop, I was pretty frazzled. Gerald and his wife were really friendly and I immediately felt at ease. She sat and chatted with me for a while, taking my mind off my problems. All in all, it was actually a pretty pleasant afternoon. Turns out there wasn't anything seriously wrong with my car (thank God) and he had me back on the road in a few hours. And the repair ended up being the cheapest part of my entire ordeal. True story: as I was just writing this review, Gerald's wife texted me to make sure I got home okay. I mean... You can't beat that kind of service and care. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone I know in the area. read more

Gerald and his family were amazing! We were 12 hrs into our drive till my suv started to act up. It was past buisness hours I started to freak out. My husband called Gerald and he said to bring it. We had to call a tow truck and dropped it off at his house which he has a a garage to work on these vehicles. We had to leave our car due to it being transmission problems we had to rent a car to make it down to a wedding. Gerald kept in contact we had to get a new transmission and it was affordable. He even called us to make sure we got back home without any problems. So if you brake down in Bakersfield dont freak out because Geralds there! read more

Trustworthy, fair and a darn good mechanic! My daughter's car broke down on the way to LA and ended up just of the fwy in a fairly desolate location. We called Multifixitman ( it was after regular business hours) and we spoke to the Gerald who let us know he would meet us and the tow truck (AAA sent a driver) when the driver dropped off the vehicle (it was after 10pm) and he let us know he would call us in the morning to let us know what the car needed. The car was repaired by 10am the next morning and we were able to get back on the road soon after. The repair was complete and the price was certainly fair and reasonable. We met with Gerald and his wife when we picked up the car and let them know how much we appreciated all the care and great service. In a situation where someone could have taken hours or days to fix or jacked up prices, we are incredibly grateful that there are still good, honest and professional folks out there. Thank you so much! read more

Our water pump blew on our way from San Diego to San Jose. Gerald got the parts to fix it in 30 minutes and had the whole job done in another 2 hours. Super friendly, did an A1 job, and charged significantly less than any other mechanic shop would've. Highly recommend! read more

I can't even begin to say how much I appreciate the owner! He went above and beyond for me. Since I live in Nevada and needed my car fixed because it died out on me on highway 5 he was amazing wish he worked in Nevada I could use a good mechanic there! To the owner Gerald, Thank you so very much! read more

If you find yourself in need of auto repair, I can't recommend this place enough! My car had a battery light issue while driving on I5 towards LA, and not knowing what was wrong ( plus very nervous) I called around for advice. Gerald was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, so I took my car to him. I am so thankful I did! He explained what had happened, called around for my parts, and did everything he can to get my car up and running so I could get home that night. Gerald really knows his stuff and I would easily stop by again for any car repairs when I travel up the 5! Thank you so much to the owner and his wife for being kind and fair people in what was a very stressful situation with my car nearly breaking down. read more

Fix my car fast, and it is the day before Christmas, Gerald is the owner, super nice guy, totally a life saver. My volvo start shaking when I driving from LA to SF, Gerald help me change all spark plugs and it works perfectly. read more

Honest and very reliable mechanic we send all our family and friends to him very affordable service

Gerald took on a job that someone else messed up and turned it around in a short time knowing we needed to get on the road for an out of state move. He was pleasant , communicative and reasonably priced. Where other companies may have taken advantage of our desperation and charged more he wasn't out to price gouge us. We'd use his services again and definitely recommend him to friends and family. read more

Like many of the other reviews on this page, we had car trouble coming out of the Grapevine. I am eternally grateful that we found Gerald, who welcomed us into his shop even though it was after hours, and got us back on the road and safely to our destination. They made sure we had a comfortable place to sit while we waited and brought out water for us and our dog, and charged an extremely fair price for the work performed. Gerald is a true gem; if you're stranded on the side of the road and trying to figure out what to do next, just call him. You'll be glad you did. read more

Thanks to Gerald and his wife we got our truck fixed. If it wasn't for them we would still be stranded along the highway,by far the best mechanic in So. California , thanks again guys you are the best. read more
