Auto inspection service near Bakersfield, CA

Just used Wrench for the first time ever and it was crazy convenient and less than half the cost of what my dealer had quoted me. Thanks Rich for changing out my brake pads and test driving everything for me to make sure my family and I have a safe ride! April Garbusjuk

I was there June 1,2023. This was much more than an auto tire replacement. It was an auto wheel, struts hub, knuckle, stabilizer bar, etc. etc. etc. replacement.! Jesse was very helpful and he’s an honest mechanic and he goes above and beyond to get the job done right!

I was just starting an RV road trip when my power steering pump quit. I was towed to Performance, and I could not have had better luck. They found a replacement pump for me and installed it, working three hours past their closing time to get me back on the road. Very thoughtful about the work and kept me informed as it progressed.

Brian is an honest mechanic and thats hard to find he tells it like it is no sugarcoating. If it needs fixed if he cant do it he knows one who can and will still get it done for you. Will never take my autos anywhere else

Ever since Chris bought the shop I've trusted him and staff to service and repair two new trucks and three used cars. All work is backed up and done right as if his children were going to drive it. Cost has always been fair and he does his best to give me my vehicle back in a timely manner. It is without reservation that I recommend all your automotive needs to Chris.

We broke down in the middle of nowhere and had 20 minutes to search online for a repair place so our tow truck driver could drop us off. We were lucky enough to pick BSR. They were literally half the price of the competition, were very honest and friendly. They fixed our alternator and we were back on the road in less than an hour. Highly recommended.

Awesome customer service I have taken my 3 vehicles to them for the last 3 years. Reyde Tucorazon

This an older location, but welcoming. Setting an appointment couldn't be easier, and the staff is eager to meet your exact needs. Justin is an insanely busy man, but an excellent multi-Tasker, and the epitome of professional, a true machine. The staff's knowledge on mechanical aspects, along with speed, and customer service, are unbeatable. There's a reason why this location is so busy, and I recommend them. Ariel Earhart
