DO NOT go to these guys, despite all of the good reviews they have gotten, those reviews were ones on small and inexpensive work such as oil changes and such. If you take your car for a big project, these guys will screw u in the worst possible way. These are types of people that will smile in your face and play the act while they have a hand in your back pocket. I took my car to simply get them to fix a sensor which was keeping it from passing smog. They charged me 1600 dollars, however, when I got it back it still didnt pass smog. So then they rold me they would need another 1800 dollars to do the job and again I trusted them and paid, plus they assured me it would pass this time....oh, and they charged me ANOTHER 150 dollars for a second diagnostic. ...why in the heck would they need to do another diagnostic. So came the time to get my car and they told me to first drive it a hundred miles and then take it to get smogged. So I drove a hundred miles......but before I could even reach 100 miles the check engine came one!!!!!!. So they say bring it back in and we will take a look. Sure enough they need to do MORE WORK!!!!....WHAT!? Not only that, but this time it would cost me another 2200 dollars!!!!!. These guys are straight crooks....DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!. I have already made a court date and taking them through the court system to get back what is rightfully mine. These guys do not belong running a business and milking people for every cent one has. BEWARE OF B&C AUTO!!!!!

Since 2012 I've trusted my vehicle with B&C Auto Center. I thought about why I initially went to them and the reasons I've continued relying upon their automotive expertise. Honest, friendly, fair, & responsive. I typically get a reminder call/ email about an appointment I have coming up well in advance. If I need to speak to someone, I know I can always contact them during business hours and will get a prompt response. When I've got an issue with my vehicle, they'll explain what the issue is, the possible causes, and how to treat it. I've had work done that was still under their warranty, and they made sure to stand by their warranty and take of it, even though it may have been a part-issue more than a service issue. In addition to the vehicles they service, they care about the folks behind the wheels of those vehicles. You can tell from the 600+ positive reviews they've acquired. I've had the pleasure of getting to know their service staff and mechanics. All great people. Looking for a great Auto Repair Center - I recommend you give B&C Auto Center a call.

I bought my “camary hybrid” about 14 years ago, since then all car maintenance was in the “Capital Toyota”. About one year ago, the Capital Toyota told me, that there are 4 items should be fixed. The cost will be about $3100, since I am a long time customer, it will be discount to $3000, including tax. I’m very hesitated. If so many problems in my car, maybe should buy a new car. I talked to my neighbor, he introduced me to “B&C Auto Center”. Honestly I just go there to try, didn’t expect too much. They checked and told me my car no such problems, then they did the regular mentinence and fixed some small things, just cost me $110. It was surprise me and feel happy. The manager and technician are kind, honestly and very professional. I will stick with “B&C Auto Center” and say good bye to Capital Toyota. J H.

  • Anthony Agrillo

B&C Got me in Quick, as I needed a new internal water pump, a new timming belt, and thermostat. They had me out the next day and their price was" very fair "! And they did some extras with some parts that were minimal in price.. if they thought it was going to be any bigger change in price they would have let me know first off going in on my truck. I've got just over 311,OOO miles on this 2000 4x4 Tacoma.. And I use this truck a lot ! Not just on the ranch I'm on,.. but on the hwy often . I don't take my truck to anyone but these folks for a reason.. and that reason is.. fair pricing, great work, and they treat everyone with respect. and my truck keeps ticking because of these guys and their great work. Thank you all at B&C.

  • Corey McGiven

Having worked at a dealership for several years, I saw the ins and outs of the service industry. Many dealers and independent shops will try to persuade you to get service on your vehicle that may not be necessary but will drive up the repair cost. Not this shop. This is shop is honest, reliable and will let you know exactly what needs to be done to get your vehicle operating safe and back on the road and they won’t charge an arm and a leg to do it. Ron, Steve and the rest of the staff at B & C are honest, courteous, and provide excellent and reliable service done in a timely matter and at a fair price. What more could you ask for? Stop wasting time searching around and take your car to this shop! You won’t regret it!

  • Pujita Bandaru

Absolutely 5/5. I recently purchased a used car and other than the basics (found through extensive internet research), I knew squat about cars. So before the purchase, I took the car for a full inspection to B&C auto center. First of all, they're super communicative and welcoming. They gave me a full work-up, no holds barred. They were super quick about it (around half a day) and I got an honest, helpful report. They even gave me detailed answers to the questions I had about the report itself afterwards. Steven (apologies if I got the spelling wrong) is the resident Marvel+DC+pop culture expert and threw in an exciting discussion about the marvel Phase 4. I'm now the satisfied owner of a Ford focus 2016!

  • Richelle Gallegos

After two other Auto Centers, one being a Chevy Dealer, attempted to diagnose why My 2006 Chevy Silverado's Engine Light was staying on, with no definite answer, I was referred, by a Family Member, to B & C Auto Service. They were very cordial, and, I felt, honest. They informed Me they would perform a Diagnostic Test, and contact Me, as soon as the problem is determined. I received a call, the following day, and they said they believe they found the problem, and gave Me a High Estimate, and a Low Estimate. They kept it for a week, and called to inform Me the repair was made, and My Vehicle was ready to be picked up. I was a "Satisfied Customer", and, will contact B & C for future maintenance or repairs.

  • Mercedes Thorne

I was introduced to B&C by my boyfriend, whose entire family has been bringing their vehicles to B&C for many years now. I have an older Jeep that I off-road with and it can be very difficult to find a shop that is willing to work with a modified vehicle, or with someone who likes to do their own work on their car. Steve and Derek (and all the technicians) have been nothing short of wonderful to work with. Kind people all around, they know their stuff, and I can't say enough good things about them. They have been SO good that my parents who live an hour away have started bringing their cars down to have B&C repair them. I definitely recommend B&C, you would be hard pressed to find a better crew.

  • Ryan Ricco-Pena

I've had some really good experiences at this shop. Professionalism and communication are top notch here. Everyone I've interacted with has been helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I feel calm and confident leaving my car there and knowing they are working on it and there is a plan that they keep me updated on. Much different than my last mechanic, lol. I like getting an oil change done by qualified mechanics who aren't always trying to upsell me on an unnecessary service. They were also able to diagnose and repair a timing belt/ CVT transmission issue that had stumped two other mechanics. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

  • Neil Ordinario

My pops and I used to do our own maintenance, but as he became older and I got a lot busier, keeping up with the car kept getting pushed to the side. Finally, repairs caught up with me and I had to find a garage to bring my truck. Asked around and they came highly recommended from a family friend. B&C did not disappoint. Trustworthy, empathetic, really open and honest in explaining what needs to be done. You certainly come out feeling like they have your best interest at heart from start to finish. More than satisfied (the truck feels like it can go another 15 years with me), I'm going to be a regular customer.

  • Nikole Donahue

I affectionately call this shop my little Dukes of Hazzard shop. Just good old boys doing a good old job at what they do best, mechanical repairs! It was done in a very timely manner, The communication was immaculate, and so far so good and I've had my vehicle back for at least 3 days. The only thing I could probably critique is it would be nice to have some type of little shuttle service. I walked two and a half hours to get back home after dropping off my car. But other than that I have really no complaints they repaired a water pump on my car which was an extensive job! And so far so good. Highly recommend

  • Gary Merrick

After getting an estimate from the dealership that was so expensive I had doubts about even keeping the car, I wanted a second opinion. B&C checked it out, and found very little wrong with it. They also identified some minor issues the dealership missed, including a burned out brake light, and a nail in my tire. Among the problems, the dealership wanted to replace the entire power steering pump, and B&C said its only a loose hose and a fitting that costs $10. I'm so grateful for their honesty! I also love that I can book an appointment online. Highly recommended!

  • Makenna Javay Lane

I'm not from the area and had car trouble driving through and was referred to B&C by a local. Every other auto shop I called couldn't see me for a week or two, but they got me an appointment the next day even though they were busy. They were very straightforward and honest about their findings and didn't try to gouge me for unnecessary repairs. They were even able to properly diagnose a rear end noise that 3 other mechanics couldn't resolve, and they repaired it for a very reasonable price. Great customer service. Highly recommend!

  • Margaret Randazzo

I was referred to B&C Auto Center by Carmax as a preferred repair shop when my check engine light came on for my 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman. From the time I made my appointment to picking up my car, they were friendly, knowledgeable, understood the "maxcare" warranty, were professional, acted with urgency and care. And as a bonus, when the repair took less time than their estimate, I was charged less for the final bill, a first in all my years of auto repairs! They just gained a new customer and many future referrals. Thank you B&C!

  • Vince Falcone

You cannot go wrong here with B & C Auto....love the attention to detail and the customer service you get from Derek and Steve.....the work they do makes me feel very confident in all of my vehicles that I bring them....One piece of your arsenal in life is to have a mechanic you can trust.....well here you go......plus my wife is happy with them....can't go wrong there! I will always recommend B & C Auto to all my friends and colleagues.....Rick has a great thing going here and we trust B & C Auto implicitly ......~Vince Falcone

  • Terry Hershberger

These guys are great. Now my go to place for my automotive work. This time worked on '99 GMC Suburban with 233K miles. Replace rear shocks with correct type for towing, flushed brake fluid, transmission maintenance, belt was starting to crack, replaced. Major front end and steering work, alignment, couple other items. Dropped truck off Mon morning drove home Wed afternoon. Steve always called on status, and helped a bunch. B & C Auto Center knows their stuff. From our '65 Mustang to '99 Suburban. Highly recommend this shop!!!

  • Richelle Gallegos

I took 2 Vehicles in for Servicing, last week, prior to a long trip. Once again, I had the pleasure of doing business with Steve. There are, always, monthly Coupons, which Steve accepted for one Vehicle, and gave Me a deal for the other. He and Derek are, always, so pleasant, and willing to work with Me. I, highly, recommend B & C Auto for Preventive Maintenance and Repairs. The Mechanics are also good! "Thanks Steve, once again, for Servicing Our Vehicles!" Richelle G. & Judy S.

  • Stefan Bucek

I just came in for a simple oil change, something they did promptly, while I waited. Since I had a discount coupon, it was inexpensive, and never did they pressure me to do other work, thus jacking up my cost. (They did recommend a service on my next visit, which was nice, as it gives me time to consider it and be ready for it, rather than being slammed while I was there expecting the low cost. Hooray for them!) The whole experience was very pleasant, and I will be back for sure.

  • Julia Lewis

B&C has done a great job servicing my car. From oil changes to brakes, transmission fluid - all the major and minor services. I can depend on my car because they go the extra mile to maintain rather than fix what is broken. Steve and Derek are very knowledgeable and even got the dealer to do one repair under warranty - even though my car was out of warranty. I am a repeat customer...and I don't even live in their neighborhood - they are worth the drive!

  • Terri Henry

My experience with this auto repair shop was highly positive. Their efficient and reliable service, combined with their knowledgeable mechanics and excellent communication, made for a satisfying customer experience. The overall quality of work and professionalism is first rate. I will definitely be returning to this shop for future auto repairs and would recommend it to others in need of a trustworthy and competent service provider.

  • Stephanie Wilder

B & C provides the utmost professionalism and quality of service. They are friendly, reasonably-priced, explain any and all charges, and have a remarkable turnaround time. Steve and Derek make you feel valued as a customer, which is an invaluable personal service. I would recommend B & C to anyone wanting excellent car repair service - in fact, I have on several occasions. Thank you, B & C, for taking great care of my car!

  • Elizabeth Williams

B&C has been our auto service and repair center for more than a decade. They have a Great front office and great team of mechanics. Steve is honest and accommodating. I never question B&C’s recommendations nor their pricing because they are always fair and always do great work. Appointment turnarounds and services are provided quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend bringing B&C your Hondas of all models and years.

  • Anthony Lok

First time use this service in my neighborhood. People are nice and friendly. I have my car towed there on Saturday, they are not open but let park inside the gate. They check it Monday, determined it was the battery, so they replace and check the rest of the car. I came to p/u the car on Tuesday. Bill was $325 for replace a battery. I thought it was a little high for just a battery, other then that it was ok.

  • Scott Bremer

I got recommended these guys from a friend and they ended up being great. Steve and Derrick are alway very friendly and knowledgeable about what they are doing. They've done some major work on my car (replaced an entire engine) and it came out fine. Very competitively priced also, after shopping around a little bit for the big job, so I'll definitely be taking stuff here for the work that I can't do myself!

  • Celina Tafoya

Had to bring my car in for a noise possibly the alternator and after a real quick check in the engine, it was definitely my alternator. They kept my car over night and accommodated the fact that we had plans that weekend. Very truthful about the diagnostic and the procedure to fix it, the timeframe was amazing. We will be recommending and take our vehicles there from here on out. We appreciate this company

  • Lisa Washington

B&C Auto Center delivers exceptional automotive repair service to me and my family. It's become the go-to place for our vehicles because we appreciate the quality, timeliness and affordability we've experienced there - every single time. Best of all, it's a place that you can trust to accurately diagnose and fix real problems with expert technicians (unlike other shops we've had the misfortune to go to).

  • Tia L

I highly recommend this place! I’ve been coming here for years, & I trust them to give me great service and fair prices. As a woman who doesn’t know a ton about cars I have felt taken advantage of at other repair shops. Not here! Steve has always been honest & fair, & all around just a good guy who’s easy to work with. One of my cars is at 290,000 miles and still going strong thanks to this place!

  • Chana Ott

This visit my car had a simple oil change. However I’ve been going to B&C for over 20 years for multiple cars I’ve owned when servicing brakes, air conditioning, tune ups, etc. and have always been happy with their service. I’ve also sent many people to them in the past years, including my mom. The B&C staff have always been a blessing and recommend them to everyone who needs a good technician.

  • Sybl Amy

9/2021... Went for oil change and repaired the drain pan. As always, running like a dream as soon as it turns over. This team keeps my 2007 auto healthy! 5/2021... Came in this time for a check up before a long trip cross country. Excellent work and excellent customer service as usual. Been coming here for years and never been let down. I even walk out with a smile on my face. Bring your dog.

  • Chella Rivers

Both Steve and Derrik are always courteous and provide the best service. They advise me on repairs and always check with me to get approvals before any repairs are started. I am kept up to date on the status of the repairs and I have never had to go back for a repeat repair or because "something else" broke after my initial visit. I have been with B&C for over 2 yrs. and will keep going back.

  • LC Moore

I’ve been taking my car to B&C for a long time now, for both big and small jobs. You will not find a team more trustworthy and more knowledgeable than this crew. Steve, Derek and their team are the most helpful that I know of in the South Bay. If you are looking to take your car in for a engine-light check-up, or for regular maintenance, give these guys a chance. They do not disappoint.

  • Viki Becker

I am really grateful for the guys at B&C Auto Center for fixing my car so fast I could not imagine. Although they had a lot of work besides my battery problem they managed to replace it within two hours so I did not need to arrange the school pick up with Uber. I really appreciate it, you saved me a lot of hassle. You'll be my go-to auto repair shop in the future for sure. :-)

  • Mandy Chang

I went to B&C on a stellar recommendation from a family member and boy, am I glad I did!! I can't wait to keep going back for ALL my future car needs. The entire staff there is VERY professional, but Steve is really the crown jewel. He is friendly, helpful, and most of all HONEST. I couldn't believe how easy he made the whole process. THANK YOU B&C! I'll see y'all again soon.

  • Yolanda Coleman

Very pleased with the service received. Steve was a friendly voice on the phone. He was equally friendly and amazingly helpful when I came into the shop. He kept me informed of the cost and progress of repairs and my car was returned to me right away. The mechanics did a great job. I drove away a happy customer and will return should I need assistance in the future.

  • bob martins

These guys took care of my Turbo ,oil leak ,brake problems and were efficient and fair. I finally got to use my Carmax extended warranty and most of my repairs were covered. The guys kept me informed about my repairs and were excellent at answering all the questions I had. I am now a customer of B&C Auto. I will take my car there even after my warranty expires.

  • Julianna Martin

We brought our car here on recommendation from a friend. We have not been disappointed yet. We have used them to assess various complex issues with our car as well as a simple oil change. I appreciate their upfront assessments and quotes, their friendly attitudes, and quality work. It is hard to find an auto shop that you can trust, but this is one you can.

  • Alex Guerrero

I went to B&C originally for warranty work and it went so smooth. The whole crew knew what they were doing and with confidence. They were able to answer my questions without hesitation as if they have seen my truck a hundred times. You can tell when someone has a lot of experience. I trust their suggestions and work so much that I am switching mechanics.

  • Juliana Tuttle

1st time customer, definitely won't be the last time. Recommended by a family member and I am thoroughly impressed. I took my car to 2 different mechanics who couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. B&C auto was able to diagnose and fix the problem at a fair price. And the employees were very pleasant to work with. Two thumbs up and 5 stars from me.

  • ankush khurana

I recently moved to Willow Glen area and had been looking for a good Auto center. I am glad that I found them. I visited for an oil change, and I was impressed with their prompt and efficient service. Their prices are a bit more friendly compared to others in the area. I'll definitely be returning for future car maintenance needs. Highly recommended!

  • Eric Phillips

Great place have taken my car here for several years now. I like that they are into preventive maitainece as well, so as to not have to bring your car back in a few weeks or months. May cost a lil more than other garages but youll be going more frequently. B&C is my go to spot with highly knowledgeable and friendly staff that treat you like family.

  • Barbara Johnson

Great service. Fast quality work. I had stopped into shop with a concern about a warning light being on in my truck. Talked with Derrick about my concerns about what might be causing the problem. Went back the following morning and Derrick replaced my alternator and problem was fixed. Friendly service. Recommend this auto repair shop to everyone.

  • Lisa Liotta Valine

These guys are great! I learned about them from the previous owner of my son's car. They not only remember the car but the last owner. They were amazing, even called back today to remind me to make sure to get 2 new tires, because i mentioned his safety was my biggest concern. We have 2 other cars, both will not only go to see the guys at B & C!

  • Melanie Helmke

The team at B&C is very friendly and professional. They make sure I understand what is happening and needed with my vehicle and they do so without sounding condescending or like they are talking to a child. They have always been fair and honest, never trying to upsell repairs that I don’t need. I highly recommend B&C for anyone’s auto repairs

  • Katharyn Roberts

I have used these guys for years and they are just the best. My Honda Civic was making a rather alarming noise and they took the time to recreate the noise, dig deep, find the most cost effective, and straight forward repair. I went it with the dread but through their thorough investigation I left with an easy fix. They're the best!

  • Cynthia Gray

Steve and Derrick took good care of us! We chose B and C based on the reviews - we are from out of town. Trustworthy and pleasant to work with. We are always wary of auto mechanics based on our past experience, but our experience at B and C was so easy and not stressful. Thanks B and C for your great customer service!

  • Michael Priest

I had some small oil leaks and they fixed the only ones that dropped oil on the ground but because my gar has 225,000 miles on it they said that the other problems were so minor that it wasn't worth the money I would spend to correct them. Best explanation of why I continue to go there for the past 15_ years.

  • Ausett T

Awesome service, as usual! Steve and his team are fast, friendly, efficient, and very knowledgeable. I appreciate that. And they never try to upsell, no matter how long it's been since I was there. That's almost unique these days. I will always recommend B&C to friends, family, and neighbors.

  • Blake Gorjanc

The first time I went to B & C Auto Center, they were able to fix a problem with my car's brakes that no other auto shop could figure out. Since then, I've continually gone back to them for routine maintenance and they're always professional, friendly, and affordable. I highly recommend them.

  • Kenneth Marquardt

Service was excellent and wait was just what they said it would be. Bathroom was very clean and sanitary. Price was very reasonable. Location was a little hard to find at first but just keep going down the driveway, its at the very end. Personnel was very friendly and professional.

  • Mary S.

I have used B & C Auto for the last 4 years and each time the staff has been very honest and professional. As a senior and woman, I am a prime candidate for being taken advantage of, but B & C has always been straight with me, never charging me more than I need. Much appreciation!

  • J Young

These guys were awesome! Very personable and professional; took the time to make sure we understood what was going on with our car and went the extra mile to make sure everything was fixed correctly and not the "good enough" mentality. Will definitely be using these guys again.

  • Lisa Beeler

Steve was Great! I brought in a low mileage Mini Cooper for a pre-purchase inspection and boy am I glad I did. They went over that car with a fine toothed comb and saved me from buying a headache! Well worth the money! I highly recommend them for pre-purchase inspection!

  • Cynthia Hinojosa-Alvarado

B&C Auto is an trustworthy and outstanding auto repair shop. The front office/service writers staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The repair work is extremely reliable. They make taking your car in for service a pleasurable experience. I highly recommend B&C Auto.

  • Kenny and Jessica Salazar

These guys are super helpful and friendly. They explained everything in detail in a way that was easy to understand. They weren't trying to get over or jack up prices, they seemed very fair and honest! Great place to take your car, very knowledgeable and nice staff!

  • Ken Wells

I've been taking my cars here for a few years and I'm very happy with their service. They tell me when repairs can wait, so I'm more inclined to believe them when they say a repair can't wait. They also help me get to work after dropping off my car in the morning.

  • Lisa Germano

I have been going to B & C Automotive for nearly 2 years now and love these guys! They go far above and beyond to ensure you get serviced well and they are very honest and reasonable! They have many long-term established clients and I would highly recommend them!

  • DJ BoriQua

Had vibrations coming from the middle of my truck and slightly on the steering wheel. They confirmed my suspicion. Front driveshaft replaced. Vibrations gone...work done on time!!! Thank you Derek, Steve, and the rest of the crew for the awesome service!!!

  • MIKE BURNS

B & C Is the Best Auto Shop Around, I HAVE recomended them to Everyone I Know, And Everyone has had the Same Experiance from My Dodge truck To My 750i BMW these are the only Guys Itrust to work on my Cars. They Are the Best and never try to over sell Work.

  • Sanjit Chadha

Great experience with Steve and his crew. They came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. Straight-shooters, we had a great conversation on what needed to done, honest feedback, very fair pricing ! This is the 2nd car his crew has serviced.

  • Kendra Haken

Went in to get my car's air conditioning fixed. They were super professional and helpful. They did a full car inspection and pointed out other issues that the car might have in the future. Really reasonable price, friendly staff and quality service.

  • Donna Wallach

I highly recommend B&C Auto Center. The staff are honest, take very good care of my car and me. The staff always do their best to save me money. I have been coming to them for years and I have always been very satisfied with their top quality work.

  • Mike Wyss

This time it was my heating and air-conditioning fan wasn’t working he took care of it right away for me in my work truck so I was able to keep working. Always do a great job I’ve been coming here for over 25 years!Always happy with their service!

  • Frankie Martinez

Took my car in for a new battery. Derek was friendly, ordered the battery right away, and got my car running again within a few hours. No hassle, no upselling, no bad vibes. I will definitely bring my car back for future repairs and maintenance.

  • Denise Henderson

We have been taking our cars to B&C auto for years and always felt safe and trusted there I'm alone now and was anxious about taking a car there but I was met with a friend and know that if I have any problems I can trust them that means a lot.

  • Eric “Please, Believe!”

We took our Prius here a few times and had good service except for our last service we had done there. Had tires rotated and brake diameter checked on brake pads, they did not write down remaining pad width on work order so we know how much

  • Luis Castillo (lupecato)

Great service! Honest, clear, timely communication from the staff. I'm very happy with my car now and I'm planning on taking my other car for service to B&C Auto Center. This guys really know their stuff and provide a great customer service.

  • Jeff Moody

The guys at B&C are always clear and courteous, and I never feel like I have to second guess anything, or be on my guard for any potential shadiness. Value seems fair, not cheap though, but then good quality labor and knowledge rarely is.

  • John Ku

A previous shop left my friend's car not running :-( I took my friend's car to B&C for a second opinion. They diagnosed the problem quickly and now the car is running great again! The previous shop was treating symptoms, so the problem

  • Jared T. Ross

Stellar service and incredibly friendly/personable staff! Took a car in for a pre-purchase inspection and they worked fast and saved me from buying a car that was no good. There was no surprise costs and the whole process was seamless.

  • Laurent Brack

Towed my 2006 Volkswagen beetle. The car wasn't running. I bought the car second hand so I was wondering about the timing belt and brakes. Ended up fixing it, said the timing belt and brakes were fine. I trust these guys 110%

  • Bettina Wagstaff

I have been bringing my car to B&C Auto Center and they have always done a great job. They have excellent service and they never overcharge you. Their prices are always reasonable that’s why I’m one of their loyal customers.

  • Mark Filice

My Dad has been going to B & C for about ten years and thinks they are fair and honorable with the added benefit that they are great at what they do! We recommend them without reservation. Tell Darren and Steve we sent you!

  • Valerie Hines

They have the most important skills I can think of for an auto repair shop - they are competent and trustworthy. When they figure out what's wrong, they explain and tell you how severe the issue is. I love this place.

  • David Claude

As always B & C Auto did a perfect job on taking care of my car. No matter what is required, they take care of it immediately. Again my compliments to Steve, Derek and the rest of the crew. Well Done Guys, Well done.

  • Tim Sartwell

The starter went out on my 2004 Suburban on a Monday morning. They got me in on short notice and had the vehicle done in three hours. Reasonable pricing and knowledgable/professional staff. Will definitely return.

  • Hilda Rodriguez
