My husband and I have some horror stories about some mechanics we've dealt with in the past so our…read moretrust in mechanics was at zero. Knights auto was recommended by a good friend and we'll never take our vehicles anywhere else. We brought my husbands work truck in for a power of steering replacement. Within a few weeks of driving the truck it was making sounds like the pump was going back out. We brought the truck back to knights, they looked at it again and admitted the part was faulty. They replaced our pump with no cost. This showed outstanding integrity since In the past, we've dealt with mechanics who shrug off their mistakes and make it seem like it's your fault to get more money out of you. Not the case here. Love this shop. Won't find a more honest mechanic than Dave Knight in the mountain communities.

I read about this guy through Yelp and most of the reviews seem positive so I thought let me give them a call and see how this goes, well, that's about as far as it got. I made three phone calls to the guy and never got a response. No one answered and nobody called back. I know he offers in recovery service but if I was really in a bind, I would've been really stuck because nobody even returned my phone call after I left a message, I can't recommend the service because I never got to use it.

After calling a few spots for roadside assistance all around the SB National Forest area and not…read morefinding many available or reasonable spots for service I gave this gentleman a call quoting on a flat tire replacement and possible towing since I thought something had broken; he gave me an ETA of more or less 2 hours, (I was at Lake Silverwood), he was quick to come in 1:45 minutes and attentive as soon as he arrived, he got the replacement done in less than 20 minutes and he also helped me realize my battery had died after we accidentally left a light in, thankfully we did not need a tow back to the lake which he was always transparent about. With all this being said I can assure you you're in the best hands with this gentleman.

My wife saw this place on Yelp so I drove our car there. The shop is small and easy to drive past if you aren't paying attention. I walked inside and the owner/ manager was on the phone with someone. He advised me to wait and I did. He told me his tire guy was at lunch, but I could pull the car to the bay and was welcome to use his air. I used their air with the pressure gauge and my tire filled up. He told me if you use 7/11 it will just drain air from your tires. He didn't charge me anything and I was so grateful. Someone could have easily taken advantage of me, especially being from out of state. Based on his honesty and integrity I would highly recommend this place.

Recently, a check engine light came on in one of our cars. I took it to AutoZone to have a diagnostic check run. They said I needed a new alternator and a few other parts serviced or replaced. I took it to Phil's. They thoroughly checked the car and ran their own diagnostics, and it turns out it wasn't the alternator. This isn't a ridicule ​or slam of the folks at AutoZone. It's just a vote of ​confidence and appreciation, knowing that there's an honest mechanic here in Big Bear Lake; they could've easily taken advantage of us.

Valadez Towing called me back in less than five minutes and was able to arrange a time to pick up my car which leaves plenty of time to get it to the tire shop for the one installation appointment they have left today. And the prices are so fair and reasonable! I had other companies calling me an hour or hour and a half later, and wanting to charge crazy prices for a tow that's a little less than 5 miles. Not to mention, Melissa, provided excellent service, communicates well, and gave me a nice narrow window time of when to expect the driver! AAA couldn't even guarantee me what time they could get to my car, and the other places that called me back either sounded super shady and could barely speak, or wanted to charge ridiculous prices . So glad I found Melissa , Jose and the Valadez towing company!
