Bob’s Autodynamics

I have been taking my cars to Bob since I was 19 years old. Recently my power steering pump went out. He replaced it. I paid. It broke again. He fixed it again. It broke a third time and he just replaced the part again for NO CHARGE, honoring his warrantee with integrity. So grateful! Hoping to get another 5 – 10 years out of this old girl!

Soooooooo, I get in my car, and shut the door. Before I even put the key in the ignition, my drivers side window slowly rolls down. I was like WTF?!? Hoping, but dreading the truth, I turned the key and pushed the window button… nothing! Ugh!!!
I Unilocal’d what car repair was in the area, and saw a AMMCO right up the street with 5 stars. As I was driving close, I saw the sign, but got confused where the entrance was. I saw a lot of cars for sale along the street and then a sign after that said something like maintenance or repair, and followed it. I noticed it said «Bob’s», but assumed it was a franchise owner’s name.
I went into the office and a very nice lady helped me out. There were awards and pics with famous people on the walls. That’s always a good sign (no pun intended). She told me they could take it apart, and quoted me the labor. I agreed and waited for the scary part… the total with labor and parts.
Meanwhile a guy came in and started small talk. Then, me with my shy-​self, began running my mouth and we were in a full blown conversation. During the convo, I asked him if this was AMMCO, but pretty much now assumed it was not, since there wasn’t a single sign inside with AMMCO on it. He confirmed I was in the wrong place. I told him, he got lucky that I drove into the wrong place, and got my business. We talked for a while and I found out he was actually Bob! What a nice guy to talk to his customers so friendly.
Anyway, he came out a little later to hit me with the damage! Yikes!!! It sucked, especially since I wasn’t prepared to shell out that extra money. Turns out the motor was blown in the window, and it’s something fairly common with electric windows. But, for the work that needed done on short notice, it was fair pricing. Also excellent customer service.
Bob also gave me a great deal when he found out I was Unilocal elite and was going to review his business. Sweet! I was really surprised he had such low reviews, because I was so happy with my experience.
I would come back. Hope I won’t have to, but if I do, I will be back to see Bob and his team! :)

I went to Bob’s Autodynamics for a pre-​buy inspection of a Ford Excursion. We were a little nervous about buying a 9 year old vehicle, but it was the last in a generation that fit our family well. Bob’s team was thorough and identified several issues that the dealership resolved before our purchase. The price was extremely fair for the inspection, they started work on the vehicle as soon as I arrived and finished promptly. They also had free guest wifi, so I could do work while I was waiting. The staff was very friendly and easy to work with.

Having your extended warranty expire on your Lexus and all of your engine lights all coming on at once was a terrifying experience! Bob and his staff at Bob’s Autodynamics gave me a VERY honest 2^nd opinion/​diagnosis and repaired my car back into perfect condition at about half of what the dealer would have charged! I haven’t found a mechanic that took care of me like «family» in over 20 years! Many thanks to Bob and his staff for having integrity, honesty and the best repair prices and quality service in Vegas!!! I finally have a new mechanic to Trust my car with!

I’ve had nothing but great service at Bob’s. We have had to send about 13 trucks in for repairs over the years. Brakes, Oil changes… and other repairs caused by my drivers. I have always been comfortable with the work they preform. They haven’t always been the cheapest, but I’m a firm believer in that «you get what you pay for», and nothing has ever been outrageously out of line from other shops in town. I recommend trusting Bob’ with your personal and business trucks.

It is so hard to find a mechanic in this town. I’ve been to Bob’s several times, mostly just because it is familiar, but have stopped going here after I went in for an oil change and came back with $ 800 in needed repairs. That is just the thing. No matter what I am going in there for, no matter what the estimated cost before service, I always get charged at least $ 800.
I also had an alignment issue with my truck after they worked on the struts and ball bearings, they actually told me that it was from frame damage done when they worked on it before, but that nothing could be done. I’m giving them two stars because they did work with me to get a car worked on fast one time… nice enough guys but I’m not into $ 800 oil changes and mysterious frame damage.

Favorite autoshop in the Vegas valley! Years ago, I had an extremely bad experience with a Vegas dealership, and after doing extensive research, I booked an appointment at Bob’s! They treated me (and my car) like family and welcomed every question I had (and I had a lot)! They charge about two thirds of the price the dealers charge for replacement parts, and I have always been happy with the final product.
I have been going here for about three years now, and have recommended several friends to them (all have remained loyal customers). They maintenance all types of cars. Personally, I have had them service a Mini Cooper S and Porsche Boxster.
If you are looking for a trustworthy auto shop that will treat you (and your car) like a family member, I recommend Bob’s!

I’ve been taking my car to Bob’s for the last 3 – 4 years, and have always had excellent service. I was referred to Bob’s by a friend because I was fed up with getting lied to and taken advantage of at Midas, Tire Works, Just Brakes, etc. Needless to say, I was a little hesitant, but was blown away by the fact that the quote was down to the cent. I was told how much time «the book» called for the repairs so I knew exactly how much I was paying in labor, parts, and tax.
One summer my old car needed EXTENSIVE work and Robert gave me a breakdown of the severity/​necessity of the repairs so I knew what to do first, how long one repair could wait over another, etc.(To say I owned a lemon is a huge understatement!) I was thoroughly impressed by the honesty at this place. I’m a young girl who readily admits that I don’t know anything about cars, but I have never once felt like anyone at Bob’s took advantage of my ignorance.
This past fall, when my car turned 12 years old and neared 200,000 miles, I found myself in the shop every couple of weeks. After a few costly repairs, Robert suggested that it might be time to start thinking about a new car! Honestly, what mechanic has an old car in their shop who needs LOTS of repairs tell their client maybe they should consider a new vehicle since the repairs would cost more than the vehicle is even worth?! An HONEST mechanic who has their clients’ best interest in mind.
I did finally get a new car, and I hope that it will be awhile before I have to go see them again for a repair, but when that time comes, I will, without a doubt, be back at Bob’s because I know that I can count on them for the same reliable, friendly, trustworthy service that I have always received from everyone at Bob’s!
Thanks for the GREAT service, guys!

I needed a front end alignment and Discount Tire recommended I go to Bob’s Autodynamics. I did and everything was good. About 7 months (and a lot of bumped curbs) later, I needed another alignment and took my car back to Bob’s.
After waiting more than an hour I was told all 4 struts needed to be replaced and 2 of them had broken their seals and were leaking fluid. He handed me a bill for $ 1250 to cover the oil change I asked for and the new struts and said they would have it done in a couple of hours.
I declined and I remember the guy had a funny look on his face. I stating that I don’t spend $ 1200 without doing a little research first. Looking back I think he actually winced.
Oblivious to his reaction, I asked if they had done the oil change and alignment I asked for and he said only the oil change — there was no use in doing an alignment with bad struts. I paid for my oil change and left.
I called Honda who said it would be unusual to replace the struts under 100K. I took my car my car to Honda to be checked out. They said I needed an alignment, but there was nothing wrong with the struts.
I will never go back to Bob’s. It’s possible Bob himself may have good intentions, but this employee did not.

Bob’s Autodynamics prides themselves on their integrity, honesty, quality of work, and their willingness to stand behind their work. This car repair shop may or may not live up to their above mentioned personal-​descriptions. However, to me they have not displayed to me their willingness to stand behind their work, a pretty big factor in my book.
I received an alignment there for my truck 3 months ago, I was referred to the shop by a friend, and they appeared to be a trustworthy, straightforward repair shop. I was told if I had any problems with my trucks alignment within the next year, they would re-​do it with no questions asked, even if it was my fault (granted I did not modify my car). I noticed yesterday that the alignment on my truck was no longer true, so I called Bob’s to make an appointment and I talked to Cheryl.
Cheryl was not very pleasant. She told me the misalignment was probably my fault and I would have to pay for a new alignment. As far as the warranty that I was promised, it doesn’t cover customer fault, unlike I was told prior. If I were to bring my truck in, they would charge me for a new alignment or charge me $ 50 just to look at it. I probably would not be upset about this information if Cheryl had showed a little tact while talking to me, instead of treating me like an idiot.
In conclusion, Bob’s Autodynamics has one of the most expensive alignment prices in town, and they do not seem to stand behind their work, or keep promises for that matter. If you were referred here by a friend, it is because your friend was bribed. Seriously, they bribe people $ 20 to refer their friends, it is posted all over their office. While waiting for my car 3 other people came in for an alignment job, all were referred there by Discount Tire Company, obviously kick-​backs were given out for each one of those jobs. Bribes do not go hand in hand with a reputable repair shop.
