I've been going here for a bit now since I moved into the area and don't plan on going anywhere else. No-pressure shop that's owned and operated by car guys who combine their passion with their work and are there to help you with whatever you throw their way.Turnaround time has always been as-quoted or sooner, prices are great, employees are super friendly (Steve is all smiles all the time), and I've always gotten great recommendations from them for things they don't specialize in. Definitely worthy of 5 stars!

Best place for tires. Competitive prices and quick service. Thanks for the help Jose. I'll be a returning customer not just for tires but general repair and service. Werika Tatsiu

LSI charged me twice as much as I was quoted over the phone & gave my car back to me a wreck with misgapped spark plugs a filthy engine compartment, greasy fingerprints all over & smelling like grease inside, , smashed in my air filter & cracked the front bumper plastic on my corvette, thats just the stuff I've found so far, will update on further damage, lawsuit pending, wouldnt recomend LSI to my worst enemy.

Brought my Honda Element in for an oil leak. Other place wanted to replace head gasket, but Rusty diagnosed it to just the valve cover gasket and camshaft end caps. Saved me from unnecessary repairs. BnC seems to be very honest and only fix what really needs to be fixed. They are not trying to sell you or talk you into all kind of repairs. I can highly recommend them and will bring our cars there for any needs in the future.

AWFUL! Avoid at all costs. Expensive, damaged parts, rude, closed early despite telling me he would be there when I came for parts. I brought business to this shop four years ago, and they were nice, inexpensive, and very helpful; so despite recent bad reviews, I still went there. I wish I hadn't. I needed bearings and seals pressed out and new parts pressed in to a pair of spindles. The price doubled since i last went ($25 each in the past, now $45 each). I received a call that the parts were done and I could pick up until 4pm, I told them I would be there just before 4pm. I called at 3:45 to confirm I was on the way, no answer. I got there at 3:55 and shop is closed (shop next door said they left over 15 min ago). When I picked up parts the next morning, I told the guy I said i'd be there by 4pm, and they were closed. HE BECAME HOSTILE, BLOCKED THE DOOR AND GOT IN MY FACE: "I'M A PRIVATELY OWNED SHOP, I CLOSE EARLY OFTEN AND WHEN I WANT TO! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!" Now my truck needs to sit out of commission an extra day since he wanted to go home early. When I told him this, his response was "THAT'S TOO BAD." On top of his attitude, he also ruined seals on the opposite side of the spindle, that should not have been touched, thus costing me an additional $45/each. I would NEVER do business here again, he obviously does not care about customers. I will pay double and go well out of my way to a different shop rather than ever going here again. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Always in good hands!!! This is the only place I ever take both my vehicles. All of my friends get referred here as well. Tim & Chris are top notch and honest! Thank you guys for everything you do for me!!!! Couldn't be any happier!!!! Cindy D. Santee, CA

I had them performed an engine swap in my Jaguar. The job was complicated because I had a Corvette 5.7L engine used to replace the 4.0L Jaguar engine. The job was completed in 2 days without any problem. Other shops that wanted the job asked for 7 days at least. I'm glad I found these guys - they are now mechanic for life. Good job!!! I will highly recommend you to everyone.

dont ever ask for a refund if he doesnt do the work promised. and dont look at him with an evil eye or else you will end up in jail. this sissy lop cant even man up to another man. instead he calls the cops and has person thrown in jail for 'threatening' him. have you ever heard of that?? really a man calling the cops because another man threatened him. what a lame. grow some, chuck.
