Bob is amazing with any auto repair and has amazed me time after time with his fantastic work on my many different cars. The dealer says $7000 and Bob says $100 for something simple. I have been going to Bob for years, like many in the South Bay, and he has truly become a friend. Thank you Bob.

I genuinely cannot express enough gratitude for a man like Bob. He’s the only honest mechanic I have ever met and I have trusted him for over a year to genuinely assess and fix issues with my Prius. I’ve taken my Prius to him for simple things like oil changes to major repairs and he’s the only mechanic I have ever met to tell it to me straight and not make up imaginary mechanical issues that are not even there. I have recommended my family members to him and closest friends and coworkers, and everyone has loved Bob for what a wonderful guy and smart mechanic he is. And what a team of mechanics he has assembled! Do yourself a life savor and visit Bob. Most genuine mechanic of the South Bay ♥️

I went in an hour before closing, and although Bob looked very busy, he took the time to look at my car. So glad he was recommended to me! I found my new mechanic! 😊

I took my beat up Hyundai Elantra 03 for a couple of engine and fuel problems that were causing my car to misfire and Bob fix them completely! They car needed a tune up badly, I mean gravely lol. And I paid a few hundred bucks nothing too crazy but I couldn’t believe how new my baby felt! This guy is awesome and would recommend to anyone around my circle of life! Thanks Bob’s Auto Repair, your team rules!

Bob was great. I brought in a clunker of a car that I purchased on craigslist, and Bob took a few hours to do a safety check up and notified me of all the issues. Fortunately I was able to return the car, so thanks to all of his honesty and good work I was able to save myself a lot of future hassle. Thank you so much Bob, take care! I highly recommend.

Bobs auto, what is there not to love? Bob the owner is a great guy. Very helpful, friendly and easy going. He’s not pushy and will be honest and upfront about what you need. We found our forever auto mechanic.

This place was so delightful. Not only was the owner very nice, and honest but also understanding. We had to make a last minute trip and needed to get our car in and he squeezed us in and made sure everything was up to date and safe for our ride. He also gave us each a little Starbucks card with $1 to grab our morning coffee. Exceptional. Will be going back soon. Very thorough.

Had a great experience getting a second opinion after a dealer told my friend he needed a full engine rebuild. It turned out, as expected, that there was no issue at all. Knowledgeable, honest mechanic.

Great Service from Bob and his guys!I had this axle problem on my car for years... and the nissan dealership i bought my car, couldn’t fix it. Always told me there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I went to Bob’s shop and they were able to find the problem in just a few minutes! I left with way less money spent and got treated like family! Thanks bob! Highly Recommend.

When we recently moved to Lawndale, we began the hunt for our local go-tos. So thankful we found Bobs! Honestly priced top-notch work, every time. if you live in the area, or even if youre further away, Bobs is the auto shop you always wished you had!

My car stopped suddenly and I had an idea what the problem might be. Taking it to Bob’s was the best decision I made. He confirmed my car’s engine was seized. He offered to help me by calling the dealers on my behalf and assured me everything would turn out fine. Sometimes it’s that caring personal touch that makes choosing a local mechanic. His prices are fair but his expertise on cars is impressive. He knew what was wrong instantly when I described what I’m hearing. Bob is awesome he’s got a new loyal customer. Thank You Bob

!EXCELLENT MECHANIC!Called around for a few qoutes, landed on Bobs because of the price and turn around time! Great prices compared to other local mechanics. Great turn around time. I got to watch and learn a little about what they were fixing with my car, IDK if that was ok, but Bob was cool with it.Thanks Bob!

Honestly, its hard to find an honest mechanic. Im always scared when going to a mechanic. This guy is a godsend. Charged me $75 when he could of stuck me with a 1k bill. I now have a new mechanic forever. Go see for yourself guys, this dude is a modern day batman.

Bobs Auto Repair I am not familiar with cause I always go to Raffi Motors for all my auto needs. Have gone to them for over 30 years. Chris and Charlie are the best and can work on anything. Prices are fair and they are honest. I get the same impression from Bobs.Greg McDowell

Review №28

I did get a quote for my repair and scheduled service to be done within one business day. Later that day, Bob called and doubled the quote on the phone because he had to order a different part of what he thought ( he also had the Vin number well in advance) . I would have taken my car back at that time , but he said they were working on it and it was in pieces already. So I had to leave the car there another day and I had to pay double. Unprofessional service to say the least.

Bob is the most honest car mechanic in the greater Los Angeles Area. This guy is honest, has integrity, & never tries to get over on you. I always take my car here for routine oil changes & tire rotations - or any inspections for that matter

Bob does a great job! If hes not sure whats up with your car, hell tell you and go from there. We had just moved to the area and saw all the great reviews he has. Either he has a lot of relatives, or hes just that good. Well, I can tell you hes just that good. And a very friendly and courteous man too. Id trust him with all my cars...

Bob is the best. He is an honest family man. Takes great care of you. Being a woman I trust him to do only what my car needs and not up sale or miss inform me because I dont know any better. He is celebrating 30 years in business and I have been going to him for probably 20 of those years. Know one I trust more with my car.

I cannot say enough good things about this repair shop. The service Ive received from Bob and his guys has always been amazing. Bob is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining what is wrong with my vehicle to a novice car person such as myself. Ive always felt the prices were more than fair, especially for maintenance services such as oil changes and tire rotations. Im originally from AZ and I thought taking my car to a mechanic in CA would be more expensive, because hey everything is more expensive in CA, truthfully the prices at Bobs are better than my old mechanic in AZ. Bob helped acclimate my husband and I to CA state regulations for vehicles and even recommended a good smog check place to us when we were in a pinch. Ive had my brakes replaced, rotors replaced, multiple oil changes, and transmission serviced through him. My car is an old Camry, but I feel like it has many miles left on it thanks to reassurances from Bob. Hes made fair suggestions for what needs replacing next and I know I wont get the quality of service I receive from him from anyone else. I live within walking distance of the shop and I am always made sure to be given a ride home and to get picked up when my vehicle needs to stay there for the day. I even called Bob when I was panicking about locking myself out of my car to see if he knew anyone who could unlock it for me. I was 39 weeks pregnant and apparently lost my mind. Bob was sincerely worried and told me to call my insurance to see if I could have someone come out for free, if not to call him back and he had a guy who could come out and help me. Bottom line, I wont take my car anywhere else and you shouldnt either.

So I actually was in here almost three years ago, because I wanted to have Bob check out a car before I bought it. He gave me an impartial observation and I decided not to buy it. Charged me an incredibly competitive inspection rate and explained he just wants to help people make smart decisions. Being a broke college student at the time, it was much appreciated.Ive since moved to LA, have a new (to me) car, and got a recommendation from a neighbor to go here again. I had forgotten about the shop, so it was definitely weird pulling back into the lot and realizing Id been here before. I was getting low oil pressure and tried a few things myself but wanted an expert opinion. I brought a part with me that I couldnt replace myself, a little oil filter that is often overlooked when attempting to track down oil pressure concerns. Rather than turning his nose my vaguely-informed idea to replace it, he was very interested and told me hed look into it. By the end of the work day, I came back over and sure enough, he replaced the filter and it was certainly dirty. Oil pressure seems to be back to normal levels, time will tell if that was the fix. Again, charged me an unbelievably reasonable rate. Thanked me for the insight.A mechanic that is willing to try small, less expensive jobs before telling me I need to shell out $$$ is good in my book. Let alone one thats willing to humble themselves enough to try potential solutions that are unfamiliar to them. Will absolutely take my truck to Bob in the future. Incredibly honest mechanic, friendly and clearly in the business of helping and satisfying his customers instead of draining their wallets.

We stopped by today panicking about making it safe to get to our roadtrip due to our car smelling like it was burning up. Bob immediately helped us and addressed our concerns. I definitely recommend Bobs Auto repair as he was patient explaining everything to us, and guaranteed our safety. Our kids are happy we didnt have to delay the trip ;)

Bob is the absolute best! Ive been going to him since I mined to La in 2003. Hes honest, kind, efficient, good prices, and has a team of great mechanics. He never upsells like other mechanics Ive experienced in the past and a only tells me what my car needs. If your looking for an awesome mechanic and overall great guy look no further!

Ive been going to Bobs since 2002. One fateful night after a mishap with AAA and Pep Boys a tow truck driver suggested Bob. That was the best tip I ever got. Up until then I had been ripped off by every mechanic Id met. Countless times Bob has helped me out with minor issues that I know someone else would have tacked on a big repair bill. As long as hes in businessI will never go anywhere else. Most recently we had to take my moms car there due to the battery light staying on. Turned out it was the alternator. My mom currently has cancer and we needed to be at the hospital the next morning. Bob had the car done with an oil change in under 3 hours. Mind you this shop is busy due to loyal customers. Bob saved us the hassle of a car rental and generally, we just love him. Hes honest and more than fair. If you are a single woman without a male advocate to do your technical car talk, then go here. Hell take care of your car without stealing your purse.

What can I say bought my car in the day before the 4th of July and Bob was pretty busy. He ask me to bring my car later and he diagnosed my check Engine Light and give me my options. I can only say that I very happy with the service and price. I recommend Bob, for anyone that is tired of mechanics ripping us off, he is fair and will give you great service.

Bobs Auto Repair show is located right off of Rosecrans Avenue /Firmona Avenue, cannot miss their sign!I started my search using Google, Yelp, and asking neighbors abkut trustworthy mechanics. I was given a few to call, was not impressed and a couple straight out didnt trust. I contacted multiple mechanics for qoutes, and visited quite a few until I landed on Bobs Auto Repair shop.The owners name is actually Bob, and has been in business for 35 years! Bob gave me the best price for the work I needed. Total job (full radiator flush + new front new brake pads) only took a couple hours to complete!!!I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here and making Bob your go-to when ANYTHING comes up with your car!Trustworthy, dependable, fast and the most reasonable price for labor and parts you will find besides a DIY project...Thanks again BOB!!!👍

My friend referred me to Bob when I was looking to get a second opinion on my cars diagnosis. The dealer told me my engine was bad and that I basically should sell it for scrap and move on. I love my car and didnt want to give up on it just yet. I dropped my car off and a couple hours later Bob calls me to tell me I needed some new spark plugs and a tune up, $255 and my car was running just as it always had. I knew right then that Bob would be my car repair guy from now on! I went back to the dealer and told the service manager more than a few words... Since then, Bob has done the brakes on my husbands car, replaced the stolen catalytic converter on my car and other routine maintenance. We love Bob!
