Soo I went in for them to fix my window, which they did. But it's only been a few weeks and my window is back to not working and they won't email me back. And I tried to schedule a new appointment like I did the first time and they were so fast but now they don't respond back. So I just feel like I wasted money for my window to still not work

The team took care of my AC problems on my truck and let me know of every option before they did the repairs. AC now works great!

I’ve been going to Bayard for a while now and they’re fantastic people. Thomas especially has been really good to me.

Derek and Katie are best in class over at Bayard Auto. Fast affordable service. I had outstanding experience with Bayard Auto, and I can’t recommend them enough! From the moment I walked in, their team made me feel valued and respected. Unlike many places, there was no pressure or shady upselling—just honest advice and fair pricing. They took the time to explain everything and made sure I felt comfortable with the service I was receiving. It’s refreshing to find an auto shop that genuinely cares about their customers. If you're looking for trustworthy service without the hassle, Bayard Auto is the place to go!

Got my brake pads grinded and replaced, as well as my oil changed, both for way cheaper than anywhere else would. Overall great experience!

If I could give this establishment 10 stars I would. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who’s looking for auto services. Thomas was absolutely amazing, I just moved to the area a few days ago and Thomas was able to take my car in one day and completed the service I needed, AMAZING is all I can say. I highly recommend this establishment, they have found a forever customer. Thank you Thomas and Derek, I will be back.

I can't believe they were going to charge me $384 dollars to replace a rear view mirror! I ended up going to Auto Zone, bought a $24 rear view mirror and replaced it myself. Only took 5 minutes. The mirror just fell off while I was driving and I took my car here because it was close and I was worried about being pulled over for not having it. The staff is nice but anything you can do yourself, I highly recommend you do it. They will overcharge you for simple jobs!

I visited Bayard Auto Center due to a check engine light issue, and while the front desk staff were informative and helpful, my overall experience was far from satisfactory. Initially, the shop began diagnosing basic issues, such as examining the spark plugs and coil packs—details I had already identified before bringing my car in. When it became clear that the problem was deeper, I authorized a compression test, which failed. The recommendation was to rebuild the top end of the engine, and I was assured that their associated machine shop was top-notch. What followed was a lengthy 3-month ordeal marked by poor communication and inconsistent timelines. It took two days to remove the heads, two weeks at the machine shop, and another two days to reassemble everything. After some time, it was suggested that they perform a leak down test in the bore of the engine. Despite being a relatively quick task, this took three days to complete. When I sought updates, I frequently encountered excuses about the main contact being “at lunch,” even well into the afternoon. Weeks passed with no updates, prompting me to visit the shop in person. Only then did I discover that the machine shop needed measurements for new pistons—a piece of information that should have been communicated much earlier. I understand that part delivery takes time and that resources may not always be available, but the lack of communication on these matters was frustrating. Instead, I was given fabricated timelines that they knew they wouldn’t meet, likely to appease a pestering customer like myself. Frustrated with the lack of progress and communication, I opted to purchase a completely new block to expedite the process. Upon delivery, I was dismayed to find my new block—worth $13,000—left exposed and being used as a makeshift desk in the shop. I had paid upfront multiple times, yet the communication continued to be subpar. After a few hiccups with engine compatibility, they were able to get the car drivable. I waited two more days for them to put on the final bolt-on piece. After reaching out a few times to see if everything was fine, they assured me it was and that they were detailing the car for pick-up. I waited all day, only to receive an email at 4 PM on a Friday saying the check engine light was flashing. They informed me that the heads were probably overheating because of the tune. At that point, I had enough. I went to pick up the car immediately. When I arrived, the car had not been detailed—it had been sitting there while they discovered the new issue during a test drive. I had waited hours under the impression it was being detailed. Overall, it was a terrible experience, and the job was not completed after three months. I understand some of the compatibility issues and they don't like using performance parts but I only had 1 aftermarket part. The communication could’ve been better to a customer with 10k in the hole. They had decent customer service, but this is not the place to go for rebuilds. In hindsight, I should have chosen the Ford dealership/perfomance shop for their expertise and reliable service.

Took my daughter's Subaru Outback in, they diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, performed the repair and even followed up to make sure the problem was fixed. Ended up needing front bearings and brakes.

Great service at a fair price. It’s nice to take a vehicle to a place where they can do everything, Everyone is always friendly and they’re good about explaining what’s going on. It’s the best shop in town.

This place is great. I recently purchased a used car long distance and upon arrival it had a few warning lights active. Derek and his team went over the car thoroughly, let me know what was going on from the diagnostic and also identified a few other issues. They were great at letting me know the costs upfront, and when it needed non- standard parts letting me know immediately about price changes. I picked the vehicle up right before a holiday and they actually texted me on the next business day to make sure everything was running well. I've found my go-to mechanic moving forward!
