Jeremys Auto Repair - Bakersfield (CA)

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.

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

Darien Shoaf Been going here for years these guys fix my car ever time and cheap

Anthony Serna Great mechanic and very fair price. Came in to get my water pump replaced. Very fast fix and the guy at the front desk was very welcoming. I recommend this place to anyone who needs work done.

Shane B 230 pm on a monday: Coming home from a camping trip, my Ford E250 lost all power. I look up repair in Bakersfield and saw Fast Auto Service. Reasonable reviews, so I gave them a call. They answered right away and said they could handle my problem. AAA towed me in. Ramon immediately started diagnosis, called for a replacement part that was delivered within 30mins. 1.5 hours after arrival I was back on the road to LA. Price was decent too! I would definitely have a vehicle repaired here again. Special shout out to Jorge and Ramon for speed and professionalism!! Thank you greatly gentlemen!!

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!

Justin Aquino I discovered Andrae when my uncles radiator blew up on my 2000 Nissan quest. My uncle his car the next day cause at the time he was going through dialysis with his kidney transplant. Andrae was helpful and worked on my uncles car the same night when I dropped it off at 10 pm. He knew my uncle was in need of help due to his health problems and got it running the next day. Thanks to Andrae my uncle was able to have his van back. Most honest and affordable mechanic here in Bakersfield. You have my word on that guys!

phillips famtv Javier is great. Number one reason to come here is honesty. Number two reason is his prices on labor and parts are the best in Bakersfield. He worked on my Audi A8 but has also done work on my sisters Acura TL and my best friends Chevy Truck. Javier are small but mighty. They got the parts and finished my air bag suspension in less than a day and it was a 1/3 of what the dealer wanted.
