Bobby's Auto Repair & BODY SHOP

Oct 29, 2024

Bobby is an awesome mechanic! Fair and honest. I would highly recommend him for servicing of your vehicle. He rethreaded a spark plug in my truck. He has the particular tools and experience necessary for even complicated tasks.

Bobby is always so knowledgeable and honest about every car or truck I’ve brought to him.

Bobby’s Auto Repair is a FIVE STAR mechanic! Bobby, the very kind and very honest owner, helped me personally the whole time. My Ford Escape badly needed a full OEM fan assembly replacement (it had been broken for a month). Bobby quoted me on the OEM part and his labor like an old friend. Furthermore, Bobby’s total estimate was the lowest price of the Top 10 Ford mechanics in LA on Yelp that I called! He repaired my fan assembly in the time he quoted. He repaired my car 4 hours after I dropped it off and on the same day. No hidden labor charges. No extra repairs forced on me. No increased invoice. My old honest mechanic in North Hollywood sold his business last year, so I needed to find a new honest mechanic this year. Thank you for your excellent repair and customer service Bobby!

It’s a bit disappointed experience. Very expensive price and they are not professional. Weeks ago My 2009 Toyota Prius turned on the warning engine light on the dashboard. I googled the nearest repair shop which is Bobby’s Auto Repair. The first time I went there, asked Bobby for diagnosing my car, turn out to be the error code was about the coolant pump, I wanted to save some money so I asked Bobby if I can buy the part and they do the replacing job for me, he said yes, so I drove back and bought the part on Amazon. The second time I brought the part and got there, he did the diagnosis again, unfortunately there were two error code this time, I asked him what is the problem, he told me he will check the engine and figure it out then told me how it will work for next. Hours later he called me, he needed to replace the coolant pump and then it will be okay. Since I bought the part already, I need to pay the labor fee, it will cost 392, I asked for discount, we fixed on 250 for the labor. Then he told me he will start working on it after the engine cooldown and 2 hours later he called me again. He told me one code is disappeared but another code is still there, and he needs to replace another pump too, and it will cost 392 for the labor and the part will be 131.08. Although I didn’t realize the labor for replacing the pump is so expensive, even I already paid 250, but the second time for 392, it is way more expensive than I expected. But if this is a fare price in the market, I’m okay with that. Why I feel disappointed is because he told me it will be okay after replacing the first pump, but then it was not okay, I think it is fair enough we have to face new problems in the processing of fixing, but if the repair shop charged you and they figured out it didn’t work, should they take a bit responsibility for the next repairing cost? And today I went to another shop, they told me for replace the part need labor 1.8 hours and cost 178, Bobby told me it need 3.9 hours! And cost 392! Crazy! I’m lucky when I felt something wrong at his shop, never again Bobby.

Got a flat tire and noticed while out to lunch during work. Luckily Bobby's shop was just across the street. Eventhough he said he didn't do patches he still helped me out eventhough my car needed a patch and at a reasonable price too! This place was a lifesaver. Thank uou Bobby.

bobby is seriously the best. i have never found a more honest mechanic in my life. he will never try up upsell you or use scare tactics. he will tell you the problem, the possible solutions, and even give his advice (even if it is to not do the service). what a mensch.

Fast and affordable. Great place, saved me time and $. Honest. I got a flat to the rim tire and was panicking - fortunately this place was in a short distance. I am convinced they have a good team there and the owner is polite and honest.

No. This mechanic is not honest. My car stopped in the middle of traffic during rush hour. I had it towed to his shop the next morning. The tow truck driver said it was the fuel pump. Bobby called me and said he was right. I paid for it to be replaced. Shortly after picking up my car, up I noticed the condition had significantly worsened. I was right. It stopped again, twice. He told me he did what he was supposed to while laughing at me with his worker. No, he did not. He did not fix the problem. Either he charged me for a part that was not needed or he never examined the problem but went with the statement of a tow truck driver who had not done any diagnostics. I had a problem with him a few years back. Thought I would give him the benefit of the doubt. This has proved to be a costly mistake! Never again. I will hold him accountable. His dishonesty puts me in harms way while driving.

Great experience here. My car overheated at 11am and they had it fixed by 2pm for under $200. Would recommend

Bobby and his team were great. I came in for a check engine light I needed off for a smog test, something wrong with the gas sensor on my old Honda, usually an easy fix. Needless to stay the problem was a little more complex and persisted afterward which warranted more trips to the mechanic. He kept working on my car free of charge until the problem was solved, standing by his warranty of the initial repair even though I had to spread out my visits over multiple weeks due to my schedule. Very accommodating, and he eventually fixed the problem without having to buy more parts. I haven't had to find a mechanic since Ive been in LA and was looking for someone who does great work and I can trust, Bobby and his business are definitely the type of mechanics you can trust. This will be my go-to guy as long as im living in LA. Highly recommend.

Bobby is great! Super helpful and trustworthy. His pricing is fair and he stands behind his work. I have let him service three of my cars over 5 years and always have had quality work from him.

Bobby is incredibly kind. He saw the scratches on the side of my car and told me he would feel guilty charging me because it was so easy to fix. He came out and buffed out the paint that was scratched on my car. I told him I couldn’t let him do it for free so I gave him some cash. I highly doubt you will find, honest and kind body shops around here, so please give Bobby your time if you need bodywork.

Nov 05, 2023

Did not want to help me out after having my car towed there because he said he would help me out then cancels on me after i paid for the tow.

Nov 05, 2023

Bobby is honest and quick. Highly recommend.

I was referred to Bobby by my friend Justin after having an horrible experience with Firestone. Bobby was so nice and super knowledgeable! I dropped my car off at 8:40zm without knowing what was wrong and he was able to diagnose it and fix the issue within a couple hours. His pricing is SO affordable. I have already started referring him to people.

No greeting no smile, no thank you. The attitude alone makes you feel unwelcome but it’s an emergency and you have no choice but to allow them to work on your car. “Bobby” does not appreciate nor care about establishing a client base. I came to him on June 1st from a referral across the street at O’Reiley’s. I came in with my new alternator and the man told me it was a 2 hr job and I should leave my car there and come back. I’m in heels and I have no where to go, so I stayed around. The job took 30 minutes to do and I paid him $140 in cash and he didn’t want to issue me a recipe and said his work had no warranty at all so why would I want a receipt. I asked for a receipt for my personal reasons and he then went ahead and wrote one. The man is very unprofessional and takes advantage of women customers because he thinks we are naive. Today I decided to give him another chance and give him my business again. My car got broken into and my tool box stolen so I have no tools to open the door panel and retrieve the broken lock part that is inside of the door panel obstructing the window. He wanted me to leave my car there and charge me $250 to open the door panel “because it’s a very hard job to open it up” he said. It takes 10 minutes or less to do so, just look on YouTube and you’ll see. LADIES, DON’T GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. GO ELSEWHERE.
