These guys are great. Now my go to place for my automotive work.This time worked on 99 GMC Suburban with 233K miles. Replace rear shocks with correct type for towing, flushed brake fluid, transmission maintenance, belt was starting to crack, replaced. Major front end and steering work, alignment, couple other items. Dropped truck off Mon morning drove home Wed afternoon. Steve always called on status, and helped a bunch. B & C Auto Center knows their stuff. From our 65 Mustang to 99 Suburban. Highly recommend this shop!!!

Took my car in for a new battery. Derek was friendly, ordered the battery right away, and got my car running again within a few hours. No hassle, no upselling, no bad vibes. I will definitely bring my car back for future repairs and maintenance.

First thing that I noticed, was that they called me right away when I requested an appt. Right off the bat, they were attentive and reliable with that simple act. My Toyota Prius was in dire need of repair so I took it in with the sole purpose of addressing one thing in particular, but Steve went above and beyond in addressing other issues that were putting myself safety in danger or that I didnt think to ask about. He was thorough, honest, super friendly, always kept good communication and his services were reasonably priced. My car was fixed in a day with no complications. I will MOST DEFINITELY be coming back and highly recommend B&C Auto.

1st time customer, definitely wont be the last time. Recommended by a family member and I am thoroughly impressed. I took my car to 2 different mechanics who couldnt figure out what was wrong with it. B&C auto was able to diagnose and fix the problem at a fair price. And the employees were very pleasant to work with. Two thumbs up and 5 stars from me.

The team at B&C is very friendly and professional. They make sure I understand what is happening and needed with my vehicle and they do so without sounding condescending or like they are talking to a child.They have always been fair and honest, never trying to upsell repairs that I don’t need. I highly recommend B&C for anyone’s auto repairs

These guys took care of my Turbo, oil leak, brake problems and were efficient and fair. I finally got to use my Carmax extended warranty and most of my repairs were covered. The guys kept me informed about my repairs and were excellent at answering all the questions I had. I am now a customer of B&C Auto. I will take my car there even after my warranty expires.

First time use this service in my neighborhood. People are nice and friendly. I have my car towed there on Saturday, they are not open but let park inside the gate. They check it Monday, determined it was the battery, so they replace and check the rest of the car. I came to p/u the car on Tuesday. Bill was $325 for replace a battery. I thought it was a little high for just a battery, other then that it was ok.

I highly recommend this place! I’ve been coming here for years, & I trust them to give me great service and fair prices.As a woman who doesn’t know a ton about cars I have felt taken advantage of at other repair shops. Not here! Steve has always been honest & fair, & all around just a good guy who’s easy to work with.One of my cars is at 290,000 miles and still going strong thanks to this place!

Absolutely 5/5. I recently purchased a used car and other than the basics (found through extensive internet research), I knew squat about cars. So before the purchase, I took the car for a full inspection to B&C auto center.First of all, theyre super communicative and welcoming. They gave me a full work-up, no holds barred. They were super quick about it (around half a day) and I got an honest, helpful report. They even gave me detailed answers to the questions I had about the report itself afterwards.Steven (apologies if I got the spelling wrong) is the resident Marvel+DC+pop culture expert and threw in an exciting discussion about the marvel Phase 4.Im now the satisfied owner of a Ford focus 2016!

This visit my car had a simple oil change. However I’ve been going to B&C for over 20 years for multiple cars I’ve owned when servicing brakes, air conditioning, tune ups, etc. and have always been happy with their service. I’ve also sent many people to them in the past years, including my mom. TheB&C staff have always been a blessing and recommend them to everyone who needs a good technician.

The first time I went to B & C Auto Center, they were able to fix a problem with my cars brakes that no other auto shop could figure out. Since then, Ive continually gone back to them for routine maintenance and theyre always professional, friendly, and affordable. I highly recommend them.

B & C provides the utmost professionalism and quality of service. They are friendly, reasonably-priced, explain any and all charges, and have a remarkable turnaround time. Steve and Derek make you feel valued as a customer, which is an invaluable personal service.I would recommend B & C to anyone wanting excellent car repair service - in fact, I have on several occasions. Thank you, B & C, for taking great care of my car!

Review №31

I was referred to B&C Auto Center by Carmax as a preferred repair shop when my check engine light came on for my 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman. From the time I made my appointment to picking up my car, they were friendly, knowledgeable, understood the maxcare warranty, were professional, acted with urgency and care. And as a bonus, when the repair took less time than their estimate, I was charged less for the final bill, a first in all my years of auto repairs! They just gained a new customer and many future referrals. Thank you B&C!

We brought our car here on recommendation from a friend. We have not been disappointed yet. We have used them to assess various complex issues with our car as well as a simple oil change. I appreciate their upfront assessments and quotes, their friendly attitudes, and quality work. It is hard to find an auto shop that you can trust, but this is one you can.

I’ve been taking my car to B&C for a long time now, for both big and small jobs. You will not find a team more trustworthy and more knowledgeable than this crew. Steve, Derek and their team are the most helpful that I know of in the South Bay. If you are looking to take your car in for a engine-light check-up, or for regular maintenance, give these guys a chance. They do not disappoint.

Had to bring my car in for a noise possibly the alternator and after a real quick check in the engine, it was definitely my alternator. They kept my car over night and accommodated the fact that we had plans that weekend. Very truthful about the diagnostic and the procedure to fix it, the timeframe was amazing. We will be recommending and take our vehicles there from here on out. We appreciate this company

Review №44

Having worked at a dealership for several years, I saw the ins and outs of the service industry. Many dealers and independent shops will try to persuade you to get service on your vehicle that may not be necessary but will drive up the repair cost. Not this shop. This is shop is honest, reliable and will let you know exactly what needs to be done to get your vehicle operating safe and back on the road and they won’t charge an arm and a leg to do it. Ron, Steve and the rest of the staff at B & C are honest, courteous, and provide excellent and reliable service done in a timely matter and at a fair price. What more could you ask for? Stop wasting time searching around and take your car to this shop! You won’t regret it!

Review №64

After two other Auto Centers, one being a Chevy Dealer, attempted to diagnose why My 2006 Chevy Silverados Engine Light was staying on, with no definite answer, I was referred, by a Family Member, to B & C Auto Service. They were very cordial, and, I felt, honest. They informed Me they would perform a Diagnostic Test, and contact Me, as soon as the problem is determined. I received a call, the following day, and they said they believe they found the problem, and gave Me a High Estimate, and a Low Estimate. They kept it for a week, and called to inform Me the repair was made, and My Vehicle was ready to be picked up. I was a Satisfied Customer, and, will contact B & C for future maintenance or repairs.

Review №67

My pops and I used to do our own maintenance, but as he became older and I got a lot busier, keeping up with the car kept getting pushed to the side. Finally, repairs caught up with me and I had to find a garage to bring my truck. Asked around and they came highly recommended from a family friend. B&C did not disappoint. Trustworthy, empathetic, really open and honest in explaining what needs to be done. You certainly come out feeling like they have your best interest at heart from start to finish. More than satisfied (the truck feels like it can go another 15 years with me), Im going to be a regular customer.

Since 2012 Ive trusted my vehicle with B&C Auto Center. I thought about why I initially went to them and the reasons Ive continued relying upon their automotive expertise. Honest, friendly, fair, & responsive. I typically get a reminder call/ email about an appointment I have coming up well in advance. If I need to speak to someone, I know I can always contact them during business hours and will get a prompt response. When Ive got an issue with my vehicle, theyll explain what the issue is, the possible causes, and how to treat it. Ive had work done that was still under their warranty, and they made sure to stand by their warranty and take of it, even though it may have been a part-issue more than a service issue. In addition to the vehicles they service, they care about the folks behind the wheels of those vehicles. You can tell from the 600+ positive reviews theyve acquired. Ive had the pleasure of getting to know their service staff and mechanics. All great people. Looking for a great Auto Repair Center - I recommend you give B&C Auto Center a call.

I just came in for a simple oil change, something they did promptly, while I waited. Since I had a discount coupon, it was inexpensive, and never did they pressure me to do other work, thus jacking up my cost. (They did recommend a service on my next visit, which was nice, as it gives me time to consider it and be ready for it, rather than being slammed while I was there expecting the low cost. Hooray for them!) The whole experience was very pleasant, and I will be back for sure.

Both Steve and Derrik are always courteous and provide the best service. They advise me on repairs and always check with me to get approvals before any repairs are started. I am kept up to date on the status of the repairs and I have never had to go back for a repeat repair or because something else broke after my initial visit. I have been with B&C for over 2 yrs. and will keep going back.

A previous shop left my friends car not running :-( I took my friends car to B&C for a second opinion. They diagnosed the problem quickly and now the car is running great again! The previous shop was treating symptoms, so the problem came back soon after driving it off their lot. However, B&C found the root cause and performed the correct repair. The previous shop had the car for 3 weeks and couldnt fix it properly. B&C had it for less than 2 days and its running perfectly now. Im a happy and loyal customer!
