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.

He is Neel the owner (as you might've guessed) of this establishment on Imperial Hwy, which is thankfully not too far from us. He diagnoses quickly, gets the job done efficiently, charges reasonably compared to other mechanics we've gone to in the area, and above all is a man of integrity--he's allowed us to pay for certain repairs days later to make sure our car is running properly first. He is transparent about his shop's limitations (they don't do German cars but refer us to highly rated shops nearby). He is clearly very experienced and knows how to weigh the best repair options, especially for older vehicles. I plan on relying on Neel for years to come. Cheers!

They were busy but insured me it would only be about two hours for an oil change, break inspection, and tire rotation. Got a call about an hour later from Neel himself saying my Rav 4 was ready to go and didn't hassle me about doing any additional work, which I feel you get every time at a mechanic shop. It was a great feeling to just get the service and feed back you requested. Thanks Neel and Hector for the honestly, professional input, and transparency. Look forward to working with your company in the future. Only downside is parking. Be patient and you'll find one.

I went to the pos Puente Hills Mitsubishi at first for help and was told it would be $300 to disassemble the entire braking system to even have it diagnosed when all it needed was a 5min reset by specialty computer tool. Came here to Tokyo Automotive Repair to see if they could help, and Kevin upfront was so nice. The tech, Kai I believe, took care of it right away! No more error beeping. Never going to the dealership again.

I'm always on time with oil changes 5k miles no matter what year... I relied on the old reviews of this place with Tatsu but I agree, I met Kevin and he isn't that welcoming, not sure if he's going thru something in his life and taking it out on customer but I also agree, he's short, can come off as rude and idk, doesn't seem to enjoy talking to customers about cars. I asked for oil change only and got quoted over 200$? He tried to say the better oil was recommended but like dude I can go to valvoline right now for 100$ no questions asked.. I think they try to charge more because they use high tech diagnostic equipment which is great for major issues but for simple things I was displeased to get upsold when my almost new car is in great condition..... I was hoping to build a lasting relationship with this place but I'm going back to my trusted dealer who is a bit farther but worth the drive, Fitzgeralds Auto in Costa Mesa or OC Masters Tech in Orange for my MAZDA!

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!

So glad I found this gem of a business. Frank was super friendly and honest. He took the time to…read moreexplain what was the best route to take care of my car. Pricing is fair for the quality of work and service, will definitely be coming back here.
