Nation Auto Repair & Tires - Bakersfield (CA)

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.

Wen Tseng Quality Repair and Fair! Recently my daughter and her friend were on a road trip on I-5 when one of the tires blew at 70mph, breaking the fuel filter and vent tubes in the process. They were stuck in Bakersfield on a late Sunday afternoon, looking for any auto repair shop that was still open. Thankfully they found Jeremys Auto Repair. He diagnosed the problem right away, and explained the options. When it became clear parts would not be available for a few days, he came up with a good fix to make sure they can continue the journey, and charged a reasonable price. Thank God for honest mechanics like Jeremy. Highly recommend him. I would take all of our cars to him for repair if we live nearby.

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.

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.

Maria Donza I had a great experience with this shop. They took my van in immediately with no appointment and were able to fix the issue same day. They explained everything to me and made me feel very confident with their service. Very professional and polite. Highly recommend.

Jon Mullings I have taken each of my cars to AEA for repairs. They have been timely and honest in their service. Finding an auto shop you can trust is challenging. I’m so glad I found them. Highly recommend!

carlos coronado From the moment I called this establishment, they were nothing but helpful. Julie is such a kind and sweet lady who helped me with every single issue that I had and there were a few. I probably had called 15 other shops and none of them wanted to help. Finally got in touch with this shop and Julie was quick, helpful and all around a pleasure. With 2 text messages and a picture we were rolling. The shop helped me with all of the insurance and took care of everything. Steven was on the insurance like white on rice and made sure things kept moving. I received calls at least twice a week to update me on what was going on and what was still needed. I was never in the dark about anything going on. I can’t recommend this place enough. Give them a call. You won’t regret it !! Thanks guys. The flex is back on the road !!

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!!

Ana Johnson Great service, friendly and reliable. I recommend this mechanic.

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.
