Performance Automotive #1 - Bakersfield (CA)

Samuel Wayne Wiseman Bakersfield Auto Repair has fixed every vehicle I own. They give honest estimates, quality service, and they stand behind their work. Ive been to many auto repair shops in Bakersfield and have never been so impressed with such great care. I highly recommend them.

Gregory Welch Great place! Family like atmosphere. This establishment helped me save alot allot of money when a car I was going to purchase was inspected and they caught the Cats being tampered with. I have been going here for a few years now and wouldnt let anyone else work on my car. Very honest and downright good people at Universal automotive.

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!

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.

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.

Chili Chili Thank you, Joe for fixing my Acura today. I had a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, you were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. You took the time to explain the issues with my car—specifically the transmission, motor oil leak, wheel rotation and alignment—and educated me about the necessary repairs before starting the work. This really helped me feel informed about the process. The repairs were done efficiently and my car is running great. On top of that, your customer service was excellent, and I could tell you genuinely cared about ensuring I was satisfied with the work. Youll be my go to shop if i have any problem with my car or oil change/maintenance. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Summer

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

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.

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 !!

Jamie Pickard Did an amazing job on my brake system I really love their customer service and I got a very very good price definitely were my recommend him 10 out of 10
