This business ONLY works on "heavier trucks". Just thought I'd share and post this since that is not stated anywhere on their Google page. :)

Elevated service!! They are not the least expensive but they are a low risk provider in repair services. which means you’ll have peace of mind that they will get it done and done right. Highly recommend you give them an opportunity to work on your vehicle.

We highly recommend this business for expert repair of Ford diesel trucks. Mechanics at Hoven’s are knowledgeable, friendly and honest. We had our Ford deisel truck towed to their shop after the check engine light lighted up and the truck started losing power. They ran diagnostics and began to trouble the problem. They discovered that the fuel filter was not completely sealed. They tightened the filter and got the truck running again. We are so grateful that they were able to help us.

Grade A. I called a day ahead to schedule an oil change. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. Brian, the owner, was very attentive and apologized for the so-called long wait.

Hoven’s Automotive is always trustworthy. I have a 2004 Ford Excursion 6.0L and he has done some amazing work to it as needed. He is always honest and upfront about the work he will perform on your vehicle.

Dudes awesome and extremely fair!

Had another shop her in town tell me I had a blown or cracked head gasket. I was referred by another mechanic who said these guys are the 7.3 powerstroke guru. He said I had a clogged radiator. This saved me thousands of dollars. 2000 miles later and my Excursion is running perfect!

I highly recommend them, they've taken care of my family's diesel trucks for years. They're the only one we will use! 👍👍👍👍👍

I strongly recommend Hoven's Automotive for your light diesel truck repair. My check engine light recently came on in my 2019 F250 truck. After taking it to an oil change place to see what the code indicated, I called Brian at Hoven's Automotive to see if he could diagnose the problem. He got me in on short notice and quickly found the issue. Since the truck is still under warranty, he advised me to get my truck fixed at Ford. Even after spending some time explaining what was wrong, he refused to charge me for the diagnostic work. In the future, Hoven's Automotive will be my choice for future repairs to my truck.

I've gone to Hoven's Automotive many times, and I've always been extremely pleased by the quality of service there.

Someone told me about hovens so went he was up front with all my questions. Truck was done faster then I thought it would. One of my new mechanic that I will be going to .

Nov 17, 2022

They did everything they could to help me. They answered all of my questions and went that extra mile to assist me with extra manpower when they clearly had other things to do. I believe the crew can figure out what's wrong with your rig. I know they did mine when no one else had a clue. Lastly they will get it done.

Brian has done a lot of exceptional work on my truck over the years. I was leaving the state in 24 hours when my truck developed a leak that covered my driveway. I called him in a panic, and he said to bring it down. He diagnosed a fixed the problem quickly and got me to my cross country destination without issue. Thanks Brian, you're the best.

Brian was awesome at putting my mind to ease he was the right guy for the job ... Quick diagnostics. Multiple price point options for repair... Timely manner in all responses. Informed every step of the way...had me omw in just a few days. MUCH appreciation to his team🙏🏼

Nov 17, 2021

I would recommend to anyone. Turn around time was fast, price was reasonable, quality work. What more can you ask for. I won't go anywhere else.

Nov 17, 2021

Very knowledgeable when it comes to Ford's. He has worked on my 7.3 for different reasons and his work is very thorough. Getting it done right the first time is very important as diesels can be expensive to repair. He came highly recommended and I also recommend him to others as well. Definitely trustworthy when it comes to diagnosis.

Nov 17, 2021

I had my injector cups, injectors and glow plugs replaced here. They were done when they said they would be for the price they quoted me and I haven't had any problems with the repairs they did. That was 4 years ago. I would definitely recommend this shop for ford diesels. I will bring my truck back here if I need another repair.

Nov 17, 2020

Brian and his staff were quick diagnosing the problem when my check engine light came on. They were professional and provided outstanding service. Best place to take a Ford diesel in Bakersfield. Highly recommended.

Nov 17, 2020

Brian knows his diesels

Nov 17, 2020

Always good work

Nov 17, 2020

Great shop fair pricing and the mechanics are always up front with you. I️ have gone to them for repairs as well as have told my buddies and saved them money and got the job done right, thanks to Brian and his team ***once again thanks found the issue with the transmission and didnt charge me took it to Gils down the street 7/20

Nov 17, 2020

Hoven’s is the place to take your Ford diesels! I call them the Ford Doctor’s. I’ve had my truck in there on 3 different occasions, each time the problem was corrected the first time. Fair pricing, great communication, and completed on time. I couldn’t image going anywhere else. FYI - don’t be put off by the location, or the office decor.

Nov 17, 2020

I had a problem with my f350 coming into Bakersfield. I found Hovens And I will say they are possibly the best shop I have entered. They diagnosed the fix as a wire that had rubbed over the valve cover causing injector issues. He could have easily told me I needed an injector for 900.00 but he didn't. A really fair place with quality techs.

Nov 17, 2020

My 2007 6.0 had a difficult-to-diagnose issue that had been eluding me for months. Took it to Hoven's Automotive based on reviews that I saw online. Totally worth it!! Very professional and communicative, unlike most independent shops these days. These guys took the time to figure out what was going on and fixed it right. The price was VERY reasonable; I know that they spent more time diagnosing and testing than what they charged me for. Thanks Brian and crew, I will be back.

Nov 17, 2020

They deserve as many stars as are in the galaxy. The best people, best service, fair price. I have taken more then 30 diesel trucks to them evertime they exceed our expectation, fixed issues in one shot at fair price. They are not expensive at all. Very honest guy. I wish more businesses follow their steps. Great Job 👍
