John and 1928 Model A Ford Roadster

Bedard Automotive What can I say? I am a graduate mechanical engineer, worked 35 years on nuclear submarines, taught mechanical engineering as CSUF for 15 years and a car guy. I've worked on my own cars extensively for 65 years and go to Bedard's shop only when I'm stumped or in over my head. Very infrequently do I take a car in for any kind of service or repair but when I do it is not an easy diagnosis or problem to solve. Bedard's seems to thrive on difficult problems. Typically, I talk to Matt Bedard (used to talk with Chuck Bedard) when I drop off a car. He is always straight forward, honest in discussions and extremely thorough in his work. When you go to a dealer you get to talk with a service person who may or may not know what a transmission is. At Bedard's you talk to Matt which eliminates the chance of misinformation and eliminates 1/3 of the dealer charges. So, I rate Bedard Automotive thusly: Atmosphere: The best Mechanical knowledge: Absolutely the best Price: 2/3 dealer charges Time required to do the job: What ever it takes to do it correctly. Price: About 2/3 dealer charges Quality: Absolute best. Bedard Automotive is the best.

Prices are a little high but they do great work! They keep you up to date on your vehicle, and do a great job with there inspections.

J's Mobile Mechanic - rescued by Jesse

J's Mobile Mechanic

I paid Jesse $120 toward motorcycle service, and apparently accepting payment was the only part of…read morethe job he was interested in completing. I had ordered a part and was waiting for it to arrive, so about a month passed. During that entire time, Jesse never contacted me to ask whether the part had arrived or to follow up on the work I had already paid him to do. I eventually had to reach out to him myself. Over the following three weeks, I sent multiple text messages and called several times, all of which were ignored. After getting nowhere, I called from a different number--and suddenly Jesse answered. His excuse was that he had been "busy." I asked him to send me my money back and he hung up and blocked my number. In total, nearly two months passed after he took my money with no communication, no follow-up, and no attempt to complete the service. Being busy may explain a delayed response. It does not explain ignoring a paying customer for over two months while continuing to keep their money. That is not poor time management; it is poor business practice. There was an $80 diagnostic fee, so technically I am only out $40. Financially, it is not a huge loss. Professionally, however, it says everything I need to know about this business. A reputable business does not take payment, fail to complete the agreed-upon service, ignore every attempt at communication, and then offer excuses only after being reached from a number it does not recognize. The motorcycle needed a diagnosis, but the bigger problem turned out to be the business itself: unreliable, unresponsive, and completely lacking in accountability. I would not trust Jesse with my motorcycle again, and I certainly would not recommend paying him anything upfront.

Jesse is the reason my cat is alive…read more Last weekend, during the Garden Grove toxic chemical evacuation, my tuxedo cat decided that the undercarriage of my cousin's Tesla Model Y was a great hiding spot. It was not. He was wedged in there for 12 hours with no food, no water, and zero litter box access. He was absolutely losing it. I ran through every option. Fire department? Busy with the actual chemical explosion rattling all of OC, fair. Animal control? Ghosted me. My cousin, currently out of the country, tried Tesla Roadside Assistance through the app. Tesla's answer: their technicians are not trained to rescue animals. Noted, but deeply unhelpful in the moment. Two other mechanics passed too. Jesse was my third Yelp attempt and my last real option. He showed up within two hours, no fuss, and got straight to work. He tried everything - the frunk, underneath, removing the right wheel - methodically working different angles for an hour and a half because my cat had chosen the most inconvenient possible position to be chonky in. Jesse stayed patient the entire time and got him out safely. My cat is home. He is fine. He is completely unbothered, as cats are. Jesse showed up when nobody else could. That is not something I will forget. Oh, and his prices are insanely reasonable. If you need a mechanic who will actually show up and problem-solve, Jesse is your guy.

So incredibly happy and grateful to have found Frank and his team! I've been telling everyone who…read morewill stop and listen that they're amazing. 10/10 would recommend Frank's shop without hesitation. My car suddenly went into limp mode. The check engine light and several other lights came on. They disappeared after I stopped and restarted my car but I was frantic and didn't know what to do. When I called Frank's shop, he asked where I was and said I could stop by and they could do a quick diagnostic just to set my mind at ease before the weekend. Keep in mind this was just over an hour before they closed. Within half an hour, the problem had been diagnosed and fixed, and I was on my way. I still can't believe how quick and easy the whole experience was.

I have brought my girlfriend's SUV to Frank a few times in recent months and wanted to write an…read moreupdate. One visit was to troubleshoot the air conditioning, which was barely cool at best. I was hoping it just needed a Freon recharge. After checking the A/C system, Frank confirmed that the Freon was just low and everything else looked good. Luckily, her older car uses the newer, less expensive Freon. I just hung out while he recharged the system, and it was ready to go about 20 minutes later. The cost was only $150, money well spent to get ice cold air conditioning back. The most recent visit was to troubleshoot a service error code and ABS and brake warning lights. I was hoping this would just be a sensor on one of the wheels, but Frank said it looked like the main ABS ECU unit was faulty. Given the potential cost of the repair, it didn't make sense given the value of the car. I appreciated his honest opinion. He said there was no charge, but I still tipped him for his time because he always takes great care of me. I have tried a few other shops in the area over the years, and had initial good experiences. However, they all eventually gave me an estimate I knew as wrong, or didn't do work they said they did. I've been going to Frank ever since, and trust him 100%. If you need a top notch mechanic, Frank is your guy!

As parents whose daughter is currently away at College and not living close to us, we tend to worry about her and her vehicle. However, since we have been taking the VW Beetle to Mike's Foreign Car repair, it's one less thing for us to worry about and we know it's in great care. Not only do we see their expertise, efficiency and pride in their work but we also experience great professionalism when we call and during the day when they give us updates. I also want to mention that Mike's Foreign Cars prices are fair especially for a college student in a college town. Thank Mike's Foreign Car for always going out of your way for taking care of our daughter and her vehicle. We truly appreciate everything you and the other staff have done for her.

The pricing is always fair, appointments are easy to get, and the work is done right the first time. Daniel is especially great to work with. He's friendly, professional, and does an excellent job explaining what needs to be done and why. If you're looking for a shop that specializes in German vehicles and values customer service as much as quality repairs, I highly recommend Mike's Foreign Car.
