I worked with Tom for my appointment. I brought it in to have it looked over and reported some issues to him. I was told that nothing looked wrong for one issue, they fixed another, and “could not replicate two other issues”. This isn’t too big of a deal except one of the issues happens all the time while I drive and I really want it fixed.Tom was eager to save me money, which I appreciated.I asked him for a quote for some other repairs and was told that he would call me tomorrow—he never did.I will be trying another shop to look into my ongoing issues.

This place rocks. Tom is easily the most honest mechanic in Bend. Reasonably priced, he fills up so dont expect an immediate fix. Schedule it and he will do a great job.

This place is great. They really saved our Bacon. Front hub failed as we were driving thru and we were stranded. They went above and beyond to get us in to get us back on the road. They saved our vacation.

Our car broke down along the highway 200 miles from home. Luckily Brandys was open first thing Monday morning and Tom was willing to look into the situation for us. He easily could have tried to take advantage of our situation but was a straight up honest and stand up guy. Unfortunately for us, the news wasnt good, but he helped us with the next steps to help our situation. I offered to pay for the diagnostic services he gave us but he insisted it wasnt necessary. The only way I can think to thank him is to leave a review to tell the world Brandys is absolutely the place to go for automotive needs in the Bend area. When car trouble hits, it can be overwhelming and stressful. Tom and his crew will take care of everything in a kind, professional and honest way. Have no hesitation in choosing Brandys!

Professional, nice shop, good work in a timely fashion. Only gripe was the significant upcharge on the starter I had replaced. Charged me $220 for a $75-$90 part.

I approached Tom at Brandys with a complex issue and not only did they fail to identify and fix the issue, but Tom gave me an already steep quote over the phone which he then upcharged upon my arrival to pick the vehicle up. When I asked him calmly about it, he told me I was simply mistaken, and threatened to charge me additionally for storing the vehicle until I payed (total con). When I respectfully accepted that there was no way to prove his lie (intentional or not) and I agreed to pay, Tom refused to take my card out of pettiness, and made me walk to my bank so I could pay cash (Im also a college student and gave him nearly every dollar I own). Ive had good experiences with Tom and Brandys on simple things in the past, but I certainly will not be going back and I recommend you take your business elsewhere too as this is how they treat even respectful and loyal customers. Im writing this simply as a warning and recommendation to go elsewhere, or at least get everything in his writing beforehand.

Tom is amazing. He did what should have cost $800 for $100. Amazing customer service and vehicle repair

Tom is incredibly helpful and honest and always does a fantastic job. He treats my car like its his and helps me make decisions as if it was his own, too. Finding a mechanic like Tom is very difficult, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Trustworthy, straightforward, thorough.Brandy’s is the gold standard as far as a trustworthy and knowledgeable mechanic goes. Brandy’s has helped me time and again from basic to more complex/mysterious issues with my Toyota. Tom always manages to get my car in timely, and takes the time to make sure I can make an informed decision. Thanks x infinity Tom.

Best mechanic I’ve been to. They are always super helpful and honest. I have been to them twice—both times they have been efficient and helpful. This most recent time they re tensioned the belt in my car without even charging me. Great service!

Brandys has been working on my family autos for several years. Models are Yukon, Mustang, Envoy, Celica, and now my father-in-laws Caddy. Brandys mechanics are knowledgeable about ALL makes & models. They have done work on our cars from simple fluid changes to electrical repairs to engine & body work. Brandys prices are competitive and they complete the work when promised. Their shop is the cleanest I have ever seen: thats a signal of professionalism. I intend to save a lot of $$ by not buying new cars but instead having Tom & crew at Brandys take care of our current vehicles. :)

We were from out of town and the steering in our truck seemed to be going out. We called a few places that wouldnt take a drop-in then found this place and it had good reviews so we called. Tom told us to come right in and was super friendly and helpful! Really great service!! We were fortunate to end up in his hands.

Tom was so kind and helpful when my Forester broke down. I had it towed to Brandys without having been there, and he ended up contacting a buyer for my broken down car and letting me store it there for over a week. Hes the best! Its hard to find a mechanic you trust, and I certainly trust Tom.

Tom, the owner of Brandys, is the kind of business owner you wish there were more of these days; consistently friendly, keeping up to date on the automotive industry and vehicles, professional, high integrity, kind and fair. We have been customers for years and highly recommend Brandys to all our friends and they too have become faithful customers of Brandys. Next time you need work done on your vehicle give Tom a shout, you will be glad you did!

We were in Bend for a quick get-away. While on Pilot Butte we ended up having a radiator leak that we needed fixed. After calling Brandys, they said to come in and check it out, even though they were busy. After checking it out, he said that it needed repairing very soon, but we could take a chance and drive home. I liked the fact that he gave us a choice. After we agreed to have a new one installed they fit us in that day so we could get home that night. If Im ever stuck again in beautiful Bend, Ill see them first. Thanks Brandys Auto!!!

Ive been taking my cars to Brandys Automotive for about 10 years now, and have recommended my friends and family to this establishment for all automotive repair needs. Tom (owner) is as honest as the day is long, even recommending that I take my car to the dealer for work that should be done under warranty instead of taking the business for himself. Tom stands behind any work done by Brandys, and he gets my cars fixed right, fixed fast, and fixed the first time. I highly, highly recommend Brandys for anyone looking to get quality work and peace of mind at a very fair price.

Had some car trouble coming through town and had to stay overnight. The next morning I went into Brandys Auto and told him we were passing through and needed some help on the car. Tom checked it out and made time for me that morning to get me back on the road within a couple hours! I was very impressed with his customer service! I went here because of other customer reviews and now Im happy to leave mine. Thanks Tom!

Went to Brandys to get some work done on my Toyota. It turns out my Toyota had some complex and expensive work to be done, and Tom showed me where and what was wrong. My own budget held me back from doing the work but Tom looked at the car for free and gave me great information on how to tackle the issue. Definitely would take my vehicles here again!

I wanted a pre-sale inspection before I committed to buying a used Ford Expedition. After looking at the reviews on Google, I chose Brandys. Nothing says good service like happy—and loyal—customers. While I waited for the inspection, I overheard Tom talking to a customer for at least 10 minutes, explaining in great detail various things about his/her car problem and the different options. I was thoroughly impressed by that and then even more impressed by the thorough inspection report I received. Thank you to the Brandys crew for the excellent service. You have a new customer. p.s., I bought the car.

Got a second opinion here for repairs on my recently purchased 01 chevy. Did a free inspection of what the dealership said needed fixing and was able to take off unnecessary stuff that didnt actually need to be looked into which is no surprise. They worked through lunch to get the job done so I could get to work on time. Thanks again guys.

Review №32

Had these guys do a pre-sale inspection spur of the moment, and they fit me right in when the other shops around town could not. They were all very friendly, and extremely helpful, making for a very comfortable purchase of my new (well used) rig. He gave me a very detailed and honest report of the condition of the vehicle and talked me through everything that needed to be done. I have since called him back to ask follow up questions (on a beautiful saturday might I add), and he was really more than helpful, truly going above and beyond. Big Thanks!
