My car was making a helicopter sound from the engine which is never good. I was told by our lube guy it was possible a cracked fly wheel or flex plate. After much research on google and chatgpt I understood this was a high labor issue not a part issue. lol. I called a few different places and got pricing from 1800-2500 with a minimum 3 day lead time. My co worker recommended B&D to me. After a quick and friendly phone call I was quoted $1500. I brought it in late Thursday to leave it for work to begin on Friday and I received my car back early Monday morning. Brian was very informative with the issues and sent pictures of the cracked part and even did a follow up call to make sure everything was running well for me. Grateful to have found an honest and reliable mechanic and will return if I have to! read more

Honest, straightforward, and extremely helpful. Any automotive needs, I will go there first! Not from the area and found myself having to find someone quickly. Luckily I stumbled upon this place. Thank you for taking care of my auto needs. read more

Guys did a great job installing my daughter's transmission! Very Fair & Honest, We'll use them again read more

While residing in Corona Brian always helped myself and my daughters with our vehicles. Super polite and goes out of his way to please! Always 5* service! read more

I don't write many reviews, but this place earned one. Brought my hybrid in for an AC repair and honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Brian was super helpful getting me scheduled, and Chris took great care of the car once it was in. The whole thing was done fast, priced fairly, and Chris, who helped me throughout was genuinely friendly, not in a "we're trying to sell you something" way, just good people. I've been looking for a trustworthy go-to shop in the Corona area for a while now, and I think I finally found it. Felt less like a transaction and more like dropping my car off with a family member who actually knows what they're doing. That's a rare thing. Highly recommend. read more

B&D go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the service they deliver is second to none. While my visits have consisted entirely of routine maintenance thus far I would not hesitate to bring more complicated issues to their doorstep were the need to arise. For reference I have an older model Lexus, yes I know they are built like tanks and require very little if treated well (that's why I purchased the vehicle). Nevertheless, I visited for the first time I approached with the usual skepticism that one does when meeting a new auto mechanic the first time, we've all had our negative experiences and entering gun shy is par for the course. Bryan immediately put my fears to rest and walked me through a plan to keep this vehicle rolling for another half a million miles. All this and a first service that went over every aspect of the car including far more than just wat any run of the mill OBD-II scanner could draw up at a price that was quite reasonable for the labor involved in completing the work. Full story, the team here knows what they are doing and visiting them for your mechanic needs would be a great idea. read more

Brian is the only person I honestly trust with my vehicle. His prices are fair, and he will do everything he can to ensure transparency during the repair and integrity. He follows very old fashioned business ethics that are much needed in today's society. I'm so glad B and D Auto is here in Corona. read more

Bryan and his guys are great. Reasonable and very friendly. Only issue for me is that he is 44 miles away from me in Corona. He fixed a couple issues with my 2012 Honda accord and fixed it in a timely manner. read more

Brought my car to another shop closer to make house cause B & D was closed Saturday. I panicked about my leaks. Other shop told me I needed several repairs done to my 2008 Mustang costing about $3,863. One was to rebuild my transmission which B & D did in 7/2024. Right there I knew something was wrong. I went and picked my car up. I called on Monday, spoke to Brian asking prices from his shop of what I needed done. Plus about what the other shop said on my transmission. Take my car in and B & D, they went inspected my car ( No Charge) and both things the other shop said needed done was completely wrong. I was questioning Brian a few times about if I really didn't need 1 repair the other shop said I did. My sister & brother in law owns an auto repair shop in New Jersey 60 years and she was telling me what to ask. What made me feel super comfortable was when Brian said, "I am not going to let you leave my shop in an unsafe car". Brian could have said I needed it done and take my money but He did not! B & D saved me $2,726 in unnecessary repairs and is 100% the shop you take your vehicles to be repaired. Honest, reliable, priced reasonable. I could go on and on. Thank you so much! read more

Emailed owner about a week ago to give him an opportunity to respond before I post my review. Did not have the decency to respond to my email so here is my post: "Bryon, two weeks ago, from yesterday, August 16th, I drove in to your service center to see about replacing my three inside door handles which were broken on my 1995 Toyota Corolla. Jason told me they can be fixed and that he would call me back same day to confirm he could order the parts. Later that day he called and said he was ordering the parts, and we confirmed an appointment at 9am, Saturday, August 16. He asked if I could leave the car there and I said no that I would wait for it even though he said it make take an hour. I arrived at your service center yesterday, August 16 at 8:50am and went into the office. Jason asked me if I could leave the car, again, I told him no, that I was going to wait for it since I didn't have a ride. He said, ok and told me it will take about an hour. I said fine. After an hour went by, Jason said he was waiting for the parts. I didn't understand why because my appointment was made weeks in advance, and he told me he had ordered the parts. My car sat in the parking lot for almost two hours before it was pulled into an empty bay. There were two empty bays ever since I first arrived. No other cars were being serviced except one over the two-hour timespan I was there. At approximately 10:30am, my car was finally pulled into one of the bays and it took only 15-20 minutes for the mechanic to repair two of the doors. Jason came back and told me that I would have to come back at 1:15 for them to do the third car door (because he didn't have the third part). I had to wait almost two hours for the car, not because it was being worked on but because he was waiting for the parts to be delivered. Had he ordered the parts as promised, I would not have had to wait two hours, and it did not take an hour to replace the door handles especially when there was very little business that day. When I came back at 115pm, I waited another 20 minutes before they replaced the third car door which only took 5 minutes. I wasted two hours of my time which I will never get back. During the time I was there, I wasn't even offered water, a decent chair to sit (you only have uncomfortable stool-type chairs). My back suffered greatly from waiting so long and I wasn't even given an apology nor discount. I was charged close to $200 for the repair when I discovered from another mechanic that he could have done the complete job for $125 (had he had the parts ahead of time). He said it would have only taken him 30 minutes at the most. I was going to let this go and not send you an email, but I have been taken advantage before (many times). By reading all your positive reviews I thought your service center would have been better than most. read more

Brian and his team did an amazing job on my car! I am very grateful they were able to figure out what was wrong and fix it very quickly.

Follow up on an unusual problem with courtesy and reasonably dealt with it , they are busy and seem to be pretty efficient

I am a first time customer 1/15/25 and now a customer for life. This shop is awesome. I won't take my cars anywhere else. Brian Hazelwood was courteous, helpful and most of all honest. He gave me a quote, did the work and it was less as his guys repaired the issue (A/C fan & Module) more "efficiently" than the time allotted. Great shop. God bless B&D Automotive. 22 years in service & counting. Thanks for the service Brian!! read more

I was looking for a new trustworthy mechanic and I found him Brian was so nice and helpful. His staff is friendly. I just got an all around good feeling from this place. Thank you Brian, I appreciate you! read more

I am very impressed with my experience from start to finish. Job was completed early and under budget. Since when does that happen?! Clean shop, professional technicians, friendly customer service. I will bring all of my vehicles here from now on. Thank you Chris and Brian! read more

I take my car to Chris at D&B whenever I have an issue and he never fails to correctly diagnose the problem. He makes sure to educate me on whatever the issue may be and how much of an importance it is to get it fixed immediately or if it can wait until I am able to come up with the funds to have it fixed. You don't just get what you pay for here, you get great customer service from a team who cares about getting the job done. read more

Easy to schedule service, excellent work and suggestions on needed auto services. Highly recommend. Great ppl. Brian is very knowledgeable and gives honest recommendations. This is a company I'll highly recommend to all. This was an experience I feel trustworthy and honestly is rare these days especially if you're a woman. read more

From start to finish, there exceptional professionalism and courtesy was unmatched by any other local competitors. The shop manager was very knowledgeable and kept me in the loop throughout the repair. He went above my service requested and took care of a couple of additional repairs my truck needed. I have already recommended this shop to other friends. They have gained a lifelong customer, thank you. read more

Having to get your car repaired/serviced is never fun and usually ends painfully for your wallet but Brian and team went above and beyond to get my car back on the road as quickly as possible and I really appreciate it! I visited them before for a fuel injector issue that ended up working itself out (on their advice to wait and see if I didn't need an expensive repair) and I will continue to go back for future car needs. Thanks guys! read more

Chris was very professional when we spoke about my vehicles issues. The team at B&D automotive are honest and reliable. My car had no power and was making some noises when accelerating. They found my car just needed a simple tune up, which was plugs and coils. So happy to be back on the road. read more

A good car mechanic knows who to trust with a certain job, how to solve problems quickly, and how to be completely honest and transparent when dealing with customers and solving tricky problems. This is how I describe Brian. Thank you for taking the time to inspect my car and thank you for your honesty. read more

I have been going to B&D for years since my best friend gene referred me. BRIAN is by far the most fair and honest mechanic I have ever met! I recommend this place highly! read more

Absolutely the best mechanics. The mechanics are helpful and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend them

Took in a used truck today to have Brian inspect it before deciding to purchase it. Brian took his time to walk the seller and myself through the inspection. Once it was done I felt very comfortable in purchasing. Brian and his team are stand up mechanics. Honest , reliable and great work. Its hard to find good mechanics. I wouldn't take any of my cars anywhere else. read more

Brian and his team are the best! When I lived in So Cal I always brought my car here. My mom has brought her car here for at least 10 years. I've sent friends here as well. They always do a great job, are timely and very responsive! They communicate, get the job done right and go the extra mile. You would be hard pressed to find a better mechanic, because these guys are the best!!! read more

Amazing place. Recommended by a friend. Had my car at Honda dealership and was going to cost over $2000, so called B and D and they told me approximately $1000 for same work so I had it towed from dealership to B and D and they fixed it the next day ( Saturday) so I am a very happy camper. I am visiting here so I was extremely happy to find a very good, reliable and REASONABLE mechanic Their info is in my phone in case I ever need a mechanic when I return to this area read more

My second time using B & D, all around great experience. Fast, friendly, efficient and reasonable fees. Highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars I would... B & D Auto came highly recommended so I took my car there to have a knocking noise underneath the vehicle looked at. First and foremost, let me just say the customer service was awesome. When it was all said and done Brian explained the issue and resolved it. What I had thought was going to be something major with the suspension, struts, or ball joints turned out to be something minor. I was in and out before noon! read more

I recently moved to Corona and I've had to bring my car is several times. It's an older Honda civic so it has the regular maintenance issues. They never over sell me. They're always honest with me about what my car needs. And they work with my work schedule. Their pricing is fair and they're good people. Brian and Chris are both extremely helpful. One part in my car that needed to be replaced ended up being a bad part (fault of the manufacturer not their) I brought my car back in and they had it replaced for free right away. I'm a young female and I've had plenty of automotive shops try to take advantage assuming I know nothing. But this is a shop full of honest people who do honest work. As a daughter of a mechanic I really recommend. read more

Great service from honest people! Brian and his team takes excellent care of all his customers

B&D is what any business should be: an honest shop that does what it promises to do. Took my Jeep to B&D after "repair" by my local Jeep dealer left it overheating worse than before. Brian told me he would inspect the Jeep and showed a list of all the items included in their exam. He said he'd give me a call the next day. True to his word, he called me told and me what he'd found, and itthat would take a day. The estimate was reasonable and I got the call the following morning to come get the car. I expected to be handed the keys to the car and go on my way--as is the norm. But Brian walked me around the car explained what had been done and why, which included replacing the radiator. Without my asking, he invited me to the back of the shop and showed me the old radiator, explaining why it had to be replaced. Support this shop... you won't regret it! read more

I've been taking my cars to B &D for years. Very honest and reasonable. Staff are friendly

My Honda Pilot requires timing belt change. Called Honda dealer for price quote and never got respond. Called another shop in Chino, very friendly response but surprisingly high price quote. Simply say they adds something unnecessary. When called B&D, Brian told me what my car really needs to do. The result is, fair price, quick job, and very happy to let him take care my car. Lucky to find a trustworthy local shop. read more

This place is great, we take all are cars here and Brian is always 100% honest. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

I have been dealing with Brian at B&D Automotive for years, and have been pleasantly surprised, after every visit. Coming from the automotive industry, working for one of the largest automotive electronics / fuel parts manufacturers in the world, I can assure you that he is always fairly priced. The quality of work is spot on, and they always deliver your vehicle back, on time, every time. Brian, and his crew, are extremely well versed in their trade, and are pleasant to deal with! I am happy to say, B&D Automotive is the only shop I go too. Thanks Brian, for making sure I am always on the road! read more

Brian and his staff are kind and knowledgeable. I used to only get my car work done by family and rarely the dealership so I really needed to find a mechanic that would be honest and fair. I'm so glad I found this shop because they really took care of my car on two occasions. Brian called me to keep me up to date with the ever changing situation with my car, but it was fine because he figured out the issue. It feels like my car is being taken care of by a family member so I really appreciate the customer service. The internet really steered me in the right direction. read more

Great customer service, great work, fast, friendly...... "that was refreshing..... what a nice experience " was my thoughts as I was leaving this morning! I called, asked about a battery replacement. I showed up 10 minutes later and I was out of there in 15 minutes. They were quicker then they had even predicted! These days,, it's so awesome to walk away and appreciate a great experience!!! Thanks B & D!!! read more

Brian and Chris are the most honest people I've met in a long time. My daughter had to have her car towed to their shop because it broke down on her way home from San Diego. She said the check engine light was on so we had them check it out. Turns out, she simply ran out of gas. Chris didn't even want to charge me for the gas he put in her car to test it. You just don't find a shop like this anymore. I will be making the extra drive to take all my cars to them in the future. read more

I would highly recommend B&D auto! Very fair business practice, they only do what's needed and don't upsell you. I've been to several Corona mechanics and have been very unhappy with the work done. Definitely a good value! This is the kind of place you can send someone with zero car knowledge, and know that you're not going to be taken advantage of. read more

If you have transmission problems take your car to B & D Transmissions in Corona. Took my car in late Thursday, they ordered the transmission Friday, new one arrived Monday @ 8am and I had my car back Monday afternoon. Best price around. Fritz Ford want $3,500 more. Will be taking my car there for future oil changes & any other issues. Great customer service & price. read more
