Bob’s Auto Repair

I have been using Bob’s Auto Repair for over 20 years now. Bob and Steve are completely trustworthy. Their costs are fair, they communicate well and explain the problem in detail. My best review would be that I would NOT take my car to ANYONE else! These folks are that good! And, in this day and age, that is hard to come by!

Brought my car couple times there and last time i went there because check engine light and it was the catalic converter i ask how much he said $ 480 with tax i told hi
m to fix when to pick up the car and the bill was $ 628 i ask why he said we charge also for the check engine light test so never again guys at Bob’s garage for me aamco thus it for free

Had such great review for this place until I had to bring my vehicle back into this place 4times for the same problem. Never got to the cause of the problem, just did replace the parts issue. Money, time and towing cost, stress with kids in the vehicle. Lost time for work… finally called the CA Bureau of Automotive on them. Got tired of being jerked around. My friend who works for Tesla finally told them that they never got to the cause after the 2^nd time they must be part replacing shop. Guy did not like that, but it’s true. Take the money never get to the CAUSE!!! Come on!!! Glad to say I would NEVER recommend this shop!!! If you want your car done properly seek a better shop to have it done RIGHT the first time around !!

I’ve had my car into Bob’s shop a few times. Mostly for oil changes and regular maintenance. The guys there are honest and very hardworking. The prices are comparable to other repair shops. Both Steve and Chris made the experience a pleasant one. They even checked that my spare tire was inflated and ready to go in case it is ever needed. I’ve never had another shop do that. Not even the Toyota dealers in the area.

We’ve used Bob’s Auto Repair for over 20 years, I believe. Never had a bad job, or feel the prices were higher than the job called for. Friendly staff and very accommodating! Always on time. We’ve sent many friends and family members, and they’ve all been pleased. Sometimes it’s hard to find great mechanics, and we’re so thankful!

I took my ford explorer to these guys for a bad engine idle at start-​up in cold temperatures. They told me that the intake manifold was plastic (true) and that it had a crack in it (False). They went on to say that you can’t buy a new part anywhere (true, however used parts are available at local Pick-​n-​Pull car bone-​yard). So Bob’s Auto Repair charged me $ 120.00 and all I got was a lie. I went home and did some research on the net at
. The advice other Explorer owners was that it was most likely a leaky o-​ring gasket on the intake manifold. I pulled the upper and lower intake manifolds. I inspected both manifolds and there were no cracks or breaks. I checked the gaskets and sure enough the lower o-​ring gaskets obviously had been leaking for a good long time. I put in new o-​ring gaskets and put it all back together. The Explorer runs and idles perfectly now at cold temperatures. So I would stay far far away from Bob’s Auto Repair. I am no mechanic by any means; but if I was able to fix the car myself and Bob’s Auto Repair couldn’t tells me they are dis-​honest and apparently too lazy to even properly diagnose the vehicles issue.

Excellent auto shop. A team of very experienced, professional and trustworthy mechanics. Heard about this shop from my father in law who has been going here for 25 years. It’s just so rare to actual know you will be treated honestly and know they are very knowledgeable at what they do. Not cheap but you know your car will be taken care of.

I came to Bob’s because of Unilocal.I had my brakes inspected with Midas then I had to get second opinion. Sure enough, both of shops gave me a different evaluation and prices. It’s easier to trust Bob’s with Unilocal’s help, I had my car brakes repaired there! Thank you, too Sarah for your review as well… She runs a champ fitness center, Mission Peak Fitness. I enjoyed attending their boot camp!

Bob, Steve, and the rest of his staff are the most honest, reasonable, kind, and skilled mechanics around. Period. I’ve been taking my cars to Bob since the 90s, with my very first car, and continue to do so, even though I no longer live in Fremont. Their prices are fair, the work is quality and my car is always done within the original estimated time. I can go on and on, but let me summarize with this-​Bob treats his customers and their cars with respect, honesty, and integrity, I will never take my cars anywhere else.

Since 1999 I have taken my cars to Bob’s for service and I will not go anywhere else. They are honest, dependable, and friendly, and they are experts at servicing automobiles. A couple of times when I thought something needed to be done, Bob had his mechanic check it out and when they determined everything was fine, he told me so and did not charge me. You can depend on Bob’s to do only the work that is needed and do it well.

Bob’s Auto Repair is simply the best place to take your car if you want honest, trustworthy information, as well as high quality service and work. I have taken my cars to several different shops in the 25 years I have lived in Fremont. Bob’s is by far the best place I have ever gone. Not only is it great service, but you feel like family and are treated with respect. At other shops, as a woman, I have been talked down to and treated as if I don’t know what I am talking. At Bob’s, they listen and explain, and they always know just what needs to be done. They literaly saved a family vacation for us once! I won’t go anywhere else.

Bob and his staff are real professionals. They can fix just about anything and are very helpful at explaining the repair options. I have taken a number of vehicles there over my 23 years of association with these guys and they have never let me down. I would much rather buy a used car and let Bob put it in shape than any new car since I know it will be done right

I have been a customer of Bob’s for 20 years now, with at least 8 different cars. I won’t take my cars anywhere else– Bob might not be cheap, but he is competent, honest and reliable. The mechanics that work there have been there forever and know their stuff. What I really like is Bob never talks down to me because I’m a woman– he explains everything in detail so I can understand my car. He always makes time to answer my car questions when I call and pester him, and I know I am getting sound advice. You can find cheaper mechanics… but your life is riding on it.
