Handley's Auto Repair

Aug 17, 2024

Bob Handley and his team are a rare breed and some of the best mechanics you’ll find. They can meet almost any automotive need you may have. Bob himself is a very kind person and you won’t get lied to or get the run around at this shop. Just real answers and quality service by true professionals, not “parts changers.” I’ve spent quite a bit of time working on cars myself and find myself knowing more than most mechanics. Not at Handley’s. Bob has over 40 years of experience and gives us all the benefits of that wealth of knowledge. You won’t find a better shop in Bakersfield or almost anywhere, for that matter.

Only complaint is they fixed my issue (coolant leak) without making sure I was ok with it. Just wanted it checked out then get it fixed based on price, let them know on the phone to make the appointment and to drop the keys off. Good pricing for it but if it was more I couldn't have afforded it and I just would've liked to know the price before they went ahead and did it

Bob is a super amazing guy. Anytime I’ve had any issues with my truck I take it to him and his staff and they ALWAYS take care of me. Always affordable pricing too. Bob is honest and very transparent about your vehicle and will only tell you to fix what needs to be fixed. He has been doing this for a very long time so he knows a ton of great information. Ivan the front desk guy is super kind and helpful as well. Super happy to have a trusted mechanic I can always go to.

I took a car that several mechanics diagnosed as needing a new engine. Bob took my car in and it turned out that it only needed ignition coils and spark plugs. On a separate occasion one of my cars wouldn't pass smog due to a certain part not working. Bob checked it out and told me to try a new smog check station since the part was working fine. I took his advice and turns out all I needed to do was reset the driving cycle. Needless to say, this is the only mechanic I trust with my cars and recommend to family members.

This is hands down the best repair place in Bakersfield, Bob Handley is a helpful gentleman and a highly trained mechanic with decades of experience. He knows his stuff and is transparent about his approach. He was more than happy to inspect a used car I was interested in purchasing from a third party dealer. The process was fast, the pricing is more than fair, and the service is professional from everyone that works here. I’m glad to find someone as genuine and helpful as Bob, I know I can rely on his expertise. ⭐️ 10/10 You’re in good hands here

Bob was wonderful!! Couldn’t figure out the noise and took it to a few places that diagnosed the noise and it just didn’t seem right to me and didn’t want to empty my pockets fixing everything til we reached the noise. I heard great things about Hadley’s Repair Shop and Bob so I took it here and he figured it out right away ! He saved my car and I couldn’t be more grateful! He’s undeniably the best mechanic I’ve had !
