One of the most trustworthy and honest mechanics in Orange County. Matt is so professional and goes out of his way to make sure he explains what he did. He recommends upcoming services without being pushy. His prices are very reasonable and the quality of his work is top tier. There is no other place I will take my cars. You can tell by the amount of vehicles he constantly servicing how good of work he does. His shop is clean and staff very friendly. read more

I'm not super good at writing reviews but my name is Les and I own a plumbing company in SoCal I've been using these folks for about a year. I ran into some problems with my personal truck 2500 Dodge after extensive work and cost 15,000 miles later because of RAM I had more issues Matt and his crew stepped up to the plate. Unlike anything I've seen in business lately or for a long time for that matter the first was a camshaft. The second was a crankshaft ended up replacing the motor , Matt his son and his crew are exceptional in their work ethic customer service. And they stand behind everything they do and they do great work. It wasn't their fault. I was back in there three times for the problem. Turns out Dodge Chevy and Ford have the same problems and I just wanted to give kudos to those who deserve it. I stressed a great deal over that hole episode. I think Matt was even going through some health problems at that time. Really really appreciate everything. I referred Bedard, Automotive to a few of my friends from church and my daughters although I have since l moved out of California. I will still be referring them to friends in California. read more

Bedard Automotive - 2500 - Auto Repair Near Me - Anaheim, California

First time here and I was very impressed. The customer service at check in and on the phone was incredible. I was also given a courtesy ride home. Matt is wonderful and explained everything clearly. Cost was less than dealership. They washed my car, and my tires look shiny! I will definitely be back! Thank you, Bedard read more

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. read more

Bedard Automotive - John and 1928 Model A Ford Roadster - Auto Repair Near Me - Anaheim, California

Time to get all the hoses replaced on my Chevy diesel. After two trips over there in person, several phones calls, and several weeks later, no estimate from 'Matt' as promised. Guess they like to cherry pick their work... read more

This place is so unprofessional. Car had a very serious issue and had to call several weeks in a row just to pry issue out of them. Customer service puppet ladies in office were short and gave me no updates and oddly every time I called Matt the owner busy doing something. Interesting. This is by far the worst service I have ever received on a vehicle. Business license ought to be revoked for avoiding customers in addition to providing services that they do not warrant. Travesty of a mechanic shop in Anaheim. read more

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.

Matt and his team serviced my Ram 2500. Their knowledge, communication and work performed was all excellent, the best service work I have experienced in many years. They also did my smog test. Five stars! read more

been going to bedards family run operation since chuck was running the show matt runs it now, not the cheapest place, but you get what you pay for. they have certified master mechanics including matt. great people there, and always busy. and their guarantee is gold can never give enough praise for honesty and integrity, and you get that at bedard's automotive read more

If I could give them a million stars I would! They are absolute great. From the receptionist to the mechanic, Matt they have been so helpful and honest. I would recommend them to anyone I know. So grateful for them. read more

I would advise you don't go here. Know it all mechanic that thinks he is too smart to admit his mistakes. Took my car in for routine service and got it back with a blown engine. He goes on explaining everything about the car and not that his work was absolutely pathetic and ruined the engine. Dude has all these awards in his office but it all a sham. This place is a scam and the owner is at the root of it. I'm still having issues with my car and legal action is not out of question for this scmuck. read more

Great shop. Madness team are always on point and strive to make the customer happy. I recommend Bedard automotive without hesitation. Whatever service you're needing, they can handle it. read more

Bedard Automotive was recommended to me when I first moved to OC in 2017. I had just bought a 2015 Toyota Camry. Bedard is going to keep that car running for the rest of my life. They are professional, honest, dedicated and reasonable. Before I take a trip to Northern Ca, I take my car to Bedard. I am confident that I will have a safe trip. read more

Matt did some engine work for me a while back. He had experience and knew the problem that my car was having. His shop is big , clean and well staffed . Prices are reasonable. Would highly recommend. read more

This is a great automotive shop with a long history and great integrity. Highly recommend.

Bedard Automotive is the best option you can ever hope for with a mechanic. The work is always flawless, honest and prices are fair. In an industry plagued by options you can't trust, Bedard is always there to have your back. read more

Such a pleasure to work with this company! Our daughters car was broken into and she was really distressed- The apartment management was worthless - it's a "gated" community but the gates are always broken. Insurance was a nightmare also which was strange since we have been with USAA for 33 years- So a big huge "THANK YOU!" Great service- great communication- actually cares about people- I was on the phone with a female telling her how frustrated I was with the whole thing- she listened - I found out later in the conversation that she is the owners wife. She took her time to listen to me. That is huge. Matt always takes the time to take care of his clients- and goes above and beyond to find parts etc. Highly recommend. Thanks- Brad and Leslie Dierks read more

After two years of going to random "highly rated" mechanics I was finally able to find Bedard automotive! From the get go they were accommodating even though they had many clients ahead of me. After two years of no one being able to figure out why my car was overheating, the mechanics at Bedard were able to within an hour! Since my visit my car has not overheated and I am enjoying running my air conditioning without worrying any overheating issues. The quote I was given was also very fair for today economic standards. I appreciated the honesty and the value. It's also a plus that they know Daniel or Danny from the former SoCal Tire in Brea. Who by the way referred me to Bedard. So any former SoCal wheel and Tire customers try Bedard out! read more

Matt and his team at Bedards are the best. I always try to purchase from family business rather than large corporations. I trust Matt with all of our vehicles read more

All I Wanna Do is Zoom Zoom Zoom! Yup, one of my cars has reached the 170k mark. Lights on the dash were on and the poor old thing was over heating. She hadn't even had a wash for a month. I contacted the dealer regarding the air bag warning light because my regular mechanic did no want to touch it. The dealer thought it was the clock spring and quoted me a price that was very high. My buddy referred me to Bedard. ~Work-5 Stars Matt quoted me a price that was a fraction of the dealer. He also diagnosed and checked every part of the car to make sure she was safe for the road. The airbag issue was fixed along with the cracked radiator and a full service on the cooling system. When I picked up my car, they had even washed her and steamed the engine clean. She looked brand new! ~Customer Service-5 Stars I was provided with timely updates on the service and process. Everyone I dealt with was friendly. ~Price- 4 Stars So, this place is a bit more expensive. That being said, you get what you pay for and quality is what I got. There was no doing the bare minimal here. The entire engine was checked and I was provided details of everything and reassured my car could go another 100k miles. Nice! Overall, I am a fan and then some. 4 Stars and then some. Rounding up to 5! Bedard Automotive, Anaheim... another reason the OC is the best place to live! read more

Bedard Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Anaheim, California

See all

The previous owner of my car recommended this shop and I couldn't be happier. Matt's and his team do great work, they check everything on the car and they're super reliable. I've gone here for ac and an oil change. They check brakes, tires, etc. and give you a quote on what else the car needs. They're not pushy and their pricing is reasonable. I highly recommend this place. read more

Just want to express our most sincere THANKS to the Bedard Automotive Team for their excellent, personalized service and great value they have provided to our family for what now has spanned 9 vehicles and 30 years doing business together! It is always a pleasure! Alan&Robin B and fam. read more

I needed a smog test from a STAR-certified shop in order to renew my DMV registration, and it was definitely my own fault for not looking at my registration info earlier. Luckily, Bedard Automotive was on the list of approved shops, less than 10 minutes from my house, and they were able to take me as a walk-in. I did call ahead to check that they weren't too busy. The only complaint was that the lot was SO full of cars that I couldn't find anywhere to park in order to go into the shop. Eventually, I found some room against the wall, but luckily didn't have to keep my car there long as they took it right back for the check. I waited in the lobby, and was in and out in under 30 minutes. The staff wasn't chatty or anything, but they were pleasant enough. It seemed like the kind of place that just maybe doesn't have a particularly warm and outgoing office staff. As long as they're reliable and take good care of my car, I don't mind! read more

Bedard Automotive is the best! Matt really cares about his customers and doesn't try to upsell/upcharge on anything. He knows EVERYTHING and is completely honest when making recommendations on repairs. The work they do is top notch as well. I highly recommend them. read more

The driver's side windshield visor broke on my Accord and wouldn't stay up. I had heard from friends that Bedard Automotive was a great place to go for repairs and/or maintenance. I called them on Monday, they ordered a new visor and by Wednesday afternoon it was installed! The price was competitive and of course, lower than a dealer. Check them out and you won't be sorry! read more

Great work! Staff accommodated me very easily and was able to get the work done within the time specified. Everything was much appreciated. Will definitely return in the near future. read more

Matt is the best!!! I stopped by unannounced on a very busy day to see if they could look at my car while I was at work because my check engine light came on. Not only did I not have to leave my car for the day but Matt came out to check the light on the spot. He then added oil and checked my tires at no charge. Bedard has been my mechanic for years and they keep impressing. I've never felt so comfortable taking my car anywhere!! For all the ladies who normally feel like you have to have your dad or husband with you to be treated fairly and with respect, this is your place. I can't recommend Matt and Bedard enough. read more

Bedard Automotive was recommended to us by a friend and we're thankful for it! We've been bringing our cars here for a few years now and we couldn't be happier. This is a family owned business run by father and son, both are very knowledgeable and friendly. The service is top notch, pricing is fair and reasonable. They pride themselves in providing excellent service, keeping our vehicles running safely and smoothly. I highly recommend Bedard Automotive for all of your car repair needs! read more

This is a great place to get your car serviced. They have always done a great job for me. I will continue to take my cars there for maintenance and repairs. read more

Coming to Bedards was a great experience. Their customer service was top notch! My engine light came on and it was throwing an O2 sensor code. I replaced this sensor about 6 months ago. Matt and his team went through my car pretty throughly. It turned out, the throttle body needed a good cleaning. If it were any other mechanic, they would have given up and replace my O2 sensor. I felt as if my friend was fixing my car. I will not go anywhere else! read more

IMPRESSIVE EVERYTHING! EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE: 1. Matt Bedard thoroughly explained the necessary work that he was going to perform on my 1999 Lexus RX300. Each time I called to get an update, Matt came to the phone to provide an in-depth explanation on his findings and the required repair. He never rushed the conversations and answered all of my concerns, making me feel confident and at peace with the issues. 2. He also thoroughly inspected my vehicle to ensure everything was safe. He went over and beyond to provide service WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST to me; i.e. rotating my tires, checking pressure of tires, addressing the hissing of the brakes. COMPETENCE IN HIS TRADE: Bedard Automotive was recommended by a trusted individual in the Automotive business and claimed that Matt Bedard, in his book, IS one of the top mechanics in the business. After interacting with Matt, I understood why. Bedard Automotive also employs certified mechanics/technicians in various makes of cars, They know their craft. COST OF REPAIRS: Very reasonable. My car issue was an EVAP CANISTER that went bad causing fuel contamination and a broken Engine Torque Rod. The Lexus part alone for the Evap Canister was $729.80 and the rod was $90.02. The total bill was $1,240.41, which shows that most of the cost was NOT on their service. With the time they took to inspect and problem-solve the issue and repairing the problems, it was worth the "Excellence in Customer Service" and "Competence in Trade" that I received. I have heard of Bedard Automotive before but also heard they were "pricey" so I went elsewhere. I regret that I listened to those comments. Their pricing is very competitive. TIME IT TAKES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE: It took about three business days to fix the issues. The car remained with them for a total of seven days because Matt wanted to address other issues such as the brakes hissing and the noise from the struts, which were NOT safety issues but related to "after-market" parts that previous service dealers used. Matt did let us know they were very busy so if we did not mind leaving it there for a few more days, it would be helpful to their load. To those who DO NOT have a back-up vehicle they can use, such length of time would be challenging. Fortunately, we did, so it was a joy for Matt to address them WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHARGES. When my husband and I picked up the vehicle, Matt came out and summarized again what was done with the car. He opened the hood to show us the rod replacement and went over again what he already discussed with us on the phone. I was very impressed. TIME IS VALUABLE yet, Matt understands the psychology and importance of customer satisfaction. They also washed my car - such gestures may seem little, but to us, it went a long way! This was an EXCELLENT customer experience for this event. read more

I don't know where to begin. For starters, they've got a reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable staff that is always responsive and informative. I received several calls regarding my vehicle and what needed to be done. They requested confirmation every time and it kept me reassured. I've taken my vehicle to numerous places throughout the years and never received the kind of service that i received here. I didn't sense any dishonesty, and they actually went ABOVE AND BEYOND! THANK YOU BEDARD TEAM!!!! read more

This place sucks... have been waiting for 3 weeks now for a simple quote.. the girl who answers the phone is lame as well... she should be forcing her guys to call people back with quotes. It's not that hard.... read more

As always, Bedard was fantastic! They were sympathetic when my car was towed in on a Monday morning for a leaking radiator hose. I'm sure it's their busiest day, but they fit me in so I wouldn't have to rent a car. It helps that it is close to my work. They did all the work and checked all the other hoses on my 10 year old car with 146,000 miles. Although they recommended changing the other hoses Matt said when he physically squeezed them they seemed OK for now. I like that Bedard is a long standing family owned business. I never feel like they are trying to take advantage of me. I won't go anywhere else! read more

I own multiple very old high mileage vehicles, Matt and his entire staff are really proficient at keeping me on the road.

My truck quit running in front of Bedard. So I left it with them and they repaired and washed it. Get appointment they are busy. Truck back on the road, running great. read more

Took my car there today because it had major engine failure on my way to work. Mr. Bedard came highly recommended by my coworker, I don't live in this area and did not know who to go to. He did some research and found out that my issue is covered by Hyundai warranty associated with a recall. My car is being towed to the dealership, Mr. Bedard recommend a dealership that he trusts. I appreciate Mr. Bedard's honesty and timeliness in helping me this morning, I would highly recommend this shop! read more

Matt and his team are the best. I normally do all my own car repairs, My truck was showing a emissions bank error. Problem was, when it would be at the shop, it would not error. Matt took the time to figure out exactly what was wrong. My gas mileage has now improved 5mpg. Driving a 3500 diesel. Thats a huge win!. read more

I've been going here for years and figured it was about time to say something about this place. I've taken several different cars here over the years, even a 1957 Chevy. And I've been to countless other automotive repair shops over the years. Bedard is tops by far. They do excellent work. Everything is always done right the first time. In over 20 years I've never had a complaint. They even know my name. read more
