Brake repair 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.

The Jag service was just my most recent work done there. I have been taking my 1974 Triumph TR6 to Andy for the past three years and had work done on the 2005 Altima of a student my wife and I help. I have always been nothing but completely satisfied with their work. Their rates are fair (below that of the dealer or lesser quality work done in other shops. I found their knowledge and work superior and there research to be thorough. I recommend them to anyone with both modern and classic cars, both American and foreign.

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.

These are guys are hard and dedicated workers and they treat the customer like family

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.

We had a roadside emergency while traveling through Bakersfield. We found Scotty's Auto Repair on Google. We contacted him, told him the symptoms & he said he could and would look at it right away. Had our vehicle towed to his shop & he got to work on it right away. He is meticulous about his work, his estimate was very reasonable and accurate and even when he discovered another issue while working on our vehicle, he contacted us and proceeded to fix everything extremely well. His standards are high & will not do anything halfa**ed. Our final bill was very reasonable especially considering he worked well into the night to get us back on the road! Need a Great, Honest, Talented mechanic go to Scotty's Auto Repair in Bakersfield.

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

I took my vehicle in for a power steering leak and was informed by Matt that the power steering hose needed to be replaced. I was told the few days I came in before the repair that it would take about 4 hours and I came prepared to be occupied as I had to wait for the fixture. I spent over $400. Upon leaving, Matt said I would be very happy with the work he did, which was cocky given that he has no way of knowing what my expectations are, and clearly untrue with the explanation below. Upon performing an oil change weeks later, I was informed the newly fixed hose was rubbing up against my engine belt and the nylon sheath was already worn through, with a subsequent indentation on the rubber hose itself. The staff kindly secured the hose away from the belt until I could take it in, which I did the next day. I was certainly displeased with the inconvenience, but said nothing to Mike, who handles the customers, about that. Without prompting, Mike offered a free oil change in compensation. When I requested an inspection following the repair, Matt had not replaced the hose but simply secured it away from the belt. What if that discovery had not been made and another leak, which was imminent, ensued? I called back 4 times, on the day of the securement, to request if I could simply get the monetary equivalent of the oil change (I would imagine it shouldn't exceed $50) as I had no confidence in Matt's capabilities or truth-telling, and all four times it went to the voicemail. Interesting. They were accessible every time I needed work done prior to that. If I was to rate Mike's customer service, I would give him a 5/5. Matt's attitude and work, a 1/5. So, I gave an overall rating of 2/5. I would not recommend their services to anyone.

i went to pep boys by my house, my husband has gone there for years. I went down and the service mgr helped me on purchasing 4 new tires and balance. I paid for and was scheduled to come back 2 days later as they had to order the tires from warehouse. I went in on a friday and it took about 3 hours... when i got home after getting my vehicle, i noticed my chrome caps were missing and i had 4 plastics caps on each tire. I just paid 670.00 for 4 tires and balancing and you switch my chrome caps for plastic ones. I called and spoke to service mgr and told him where's are my chrome caps........ He said come back in and i will give you a set. It's the principal of the deal. IT'S NOT THEIR DECISION for them to switch out, i brought my vehicle with them on i expect to drive off with them. That's just wrong.......
