Bennys Auto Repair - Bakersfield (CA)

Igor Kovacevic On the road from LA to San Jose we got engine issues and made it to Benny’s shop. Benny, his daughter and his stuff diagnosed the problem, got the parts and fixed the issue. Very accommodating and efficient. Absolute recommendation!

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.

Gerardo Martinez Got my vehicle serviced today. Outstanding customer service from Agustin, he was very knowledgeable and patient in dealing with the task at hand. I will definitely be a returning client. I am very satisfied and content with Nate and his professionalism over the phone. Thank you for your hard work.

Belen Wells I cannot recommend this company enough: my service engine system message and engine light came on during an important road trip through the valley on a Friday at around 7pm. I contacted G.G and he serviced my car attentively, addressing any and every detail and saved me hundreds of dollars with his after hours work. He was transparent with every aspect of what he was doing. He communicated every issue and showed me each aspect of the labor they did. He was hospitable and personable. His company provides a plethora of mechanic services; contact this company for any service you need!

Jennifer Banuelos Gerald and his family were amazing! We were 12 hrs into our drive till my suv started to act up. It was past buisness hours I started to freak out. My husband called Gerald and he said to bring it. We had to call a tow truck and dropped it off at his house which he has a a garage to work on these vehicles. We had to leave our car due to it being transmission problems we had to rent a car to make it down to a wedding. Gerald kept in contact we had to get a new transmission and it was affordable. He even called us to make sure we got back home without any problems. So if you brake down in Bakersfield dont freak out because Geralds there! Update: Its been 5 years and my transmission is still running strong!

Jaymi McCarthy My new mechanic! He was referred by a friend of mine and his prices are fair. He fixed our Ac for $2k less than what Pep Boys quoted us. Honest, friendly and fair. Highly recommend

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.

Makenzie Banks Some of the best mobile mechanics I have found. Very affordable and very honest. Not only did they fix my car twice, but they were very friendly and professional. I’m so glad I found a good mechanic and trustworthy mechanic.

Hp P I don’t write reviews often but needed to note my highest recommendation for Joe and his crew. Fair, honest, and of high integrity. We were stuck with a flashing engine light on our way home to Souther CA from Yosemite and were lucky to get stuck near his shop. He was honest and provided a simple solution for which I think other shops may have easily taken advantage of us in our situation.
