A-1 Automotive - Bakersfield (CA)

diego criollo Great people, great service and honest estimates as well as great car advice. Can’t emphasize enough their honesty! They were fair with the price and worked on my vehicle in a timely manner. This is the only shop I’ll go from now on.

ezra pike Everyone there was very professional and honest and the work I had done on my sepentine belt was done quick and efficiently. The shop was also very clean and I will go back next time I need work done on my vehicle.

Adrian Pizano Jose is very professional and provides more detail than I could ever imagine. He went above and beyond to ensure my car was ready over the weekend so it would be ensured that I have transportation to work on Monday even though he had a few cars he was working on already. He always asked questions about what I was concerned about with my car, he never did or checked anything without my permission, and he made sure to update me in a timely manner. I just moved to Bakersfield about a month ago and it feels so good to find a mechanic I know I can go to and trust that will always have good intentions and the best interests. I now know who Ill be going to for mine and my wifes vehicles for as long as we can! Thank you, Jose. Your knowledge, insights, and professionalism were exactly what I was looking for when I reached out to you initially.

Corby Garay Very honest and communicative. No surprises! We’ve used this shop for many years (we keep our vehicles forever!) and have always been very happy with their work. From engines to transmissions!! Bill, Liz & Rob are all to be commended.

Jaime Paratore Shane and his crew are amazing! If I could give them more than a 5 I would. Our tire blew coming down the Grapevine. They just happened to be at the gas station we pulled into and they helped us with our spare without hesitation. I highly recommend MechaMedix!!!

M. Ornelas I would highly recommend Jose Sanchez to do any mechanic work. Hes very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. Cant say enough good things about this man. He also takes the time to explain things as he goes. Special thank you to him and his son Aiden. Very happy with the outcome.

Cesar M Salgado Ive taken two vehicles to get repaired and each time its been a great experience. They were able to fix each car that same day and was surprisingly very affordable. These guys are trustworthy, honest, good mechanics.

Rugnao F. “iAmFAUST” I love Bob Handley and this is why! Below is my bad review for Sangera Subaru, but includes why I love Bob Handley and why I ONLY trust him with my vehicle. (BAD Sangera Subaru Review initially, then to why Bob Handley saved me and why I love the guy, as left on a review for that dealership) I brought in my car for an issue I had a little less than 3 years ago that they fixed. I didnt have a diagnostic tool then, and it was an oil control valve (code P000D Left Bank 2). Well, it is that same one now, and learned they (Sangera Subaru) wanted to charge me $405 for a damn diagnostic and while most dealerships warranty for 3 years or 35k miles, these guys only warranty 1 year according to their ASM I had seen. I said hell naw, and left. I aint ever coming back here again. Not even for an oil change, because I only take it there and discovered my center console was also damaged last time I was here, but I cant prove that since it was awhile. So if you are foolish enough to take it here for repairs or service, make sure you record everything prior so you have it on record it wasnt like that before, should you find an issue. I called Handleys and Bob told me exactly what happened with my car and offered to clear the code after I fix it, without pressuring me or trying to solicit his shop (it needed an oil change to diagnose). The oil change was a little more expensive than the dealerhsip, but better and here is why: My MPG went up (to a steady 16.5 vs when Sangera Subaru does it Iit drops to 10.3 within a few drives that same day) and car runs much better than ever taking it to Sangera Subaru. Plus he flashed it and no issues as he said my issue was causes by low oil or oil contaminates, even prior to bringing it in. He (Bob Handley) tried to direct me to a lube shop and I realized he does oil changes and called back to ask about it. He said they charge more and lube shops charge less, but his honesty earned my business and glad I did. $115 vs $405 + probably upwards of another $500 bs, because Sangera Subaru just changes your oil but claims they replaced the part. So I am done with this crooked dealership. Also change your oil every 3k miles, never listen to them or the internet. These EJ motors burn 1 qt of oil per 1k miles. Bobs oil is superior to that dreadful dealership and if I need anything, Handleys or All Automatic Transmission, will get my business, every time from now on.

Juanita Lopez We have used them many times..very reasonable, very friendly, they are trustworthy

Bryan Patton Needed my evaporator core replaced on my 2012 Ram. Spoke with Scotty on 6/11, he quoted me the fairest estimate with the soonest completion date after calling multiple other shops in town! Dropped my Truck off on 6/12 and got it back on 6/14! He communicated with me throughout the whole process and now my AC is blowing ice cold! 10/10 recommend Scotty’s Auto repair for your car needs!
