Josh Bevan sets a great example for how mechanics should handle customers and their vehicles. I tasked him with a large amount of work on an extremely neglected, rust-riddled 1999 Chevy 3/4 ton truck that came into my posession. I like how he understands the "common failure points" of certain makes/models and helps prioritize work that should be done asap, work that can wait, etc. Josh and I both understood from the start the work wouldn't be cheap or easy. The estimate I recieved was detailed and transparent, and I liked that he offered a discount if we did all the work at once. Very fair - most shops don't do this, but as a person who has done many different repairs on all numbers of machines, I understand it's easier to make certain fixes if you already have it apart! I told him "do it all", and a week later, the truck was ready. It runs, drives, steers, and stops like a whole new truck now and I will definately be returning when I need more repairs or service done. read more

Josh has been our to-go to guy in our family for our mechanical needs. Does a fast and wonderful job for good price. Hard to find an honest and reliable mechanic that does quality work nowadays. Lucky for us we found Josh. I highly recommend. read more

Honest, flexible, effective, not a creeper, provides options, responsive. He was recommended to me by a friend years ago, has taken excellent care of my Charger. Would recommend him unreservedly. Has never made me feel weird or silly, answers questions concisely, follows up when he says he will. read more

**EXCELLENT** I have a collection of vintage Jeeps. They look and run like new. I don't let any mechanic touch my Jeeps except Josh Bevan. Josh is not an ordinary mechanic. Most mechanics want cars in and out as fast as possible to maximize profits. Josh goes the extra mile to double and triple check his work to make sure all repairs are done accurately and professionally. Josh has proven to me time and time again that he will take a the time necessary to make sure everything is completed perfectly. He has always been ready to accept my Jeep into his shop when I arrive and he is excellent at giving me any updates as he proceeds with job performed. As a result, my Jeeps have always been ready when we agree on the pickup time. Josh knows Jeeps but he has incredible knowledge of other cars and what makes them good and bad. For example, Josh knows some well engineered Japanese parts and German parts that work better than American parts. He has recommended these higher quality parts when they are superior for reliability for the repair I need done. He is very knowledgeable. Impressive. ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*** You will not be disappointed. read more

See all

Good guy and a good shop. I decided to take my business else where cause of the lack of communication. It's hard to get a call back from the shop owner, just inquiring about service. read more

Have never had better service. The service has always been top notch and honest. Josh makes sure that as I customer I feel valued and heard on my concerns and all questions are always answered. His communication is amazing as well, I have never had anything done without being communicated with first. Hard to find a mechanic who cares and does the job correctly. Definitely will always be back. Just left a messages to have my car come in. read more

I own 3 cars and I went to Josh at Bevan Auto Repair the first time about 5 years ago. Since then, I have been going exclusively again and again to Josh for all my cars' repairs and routine maintenance. Josh is a perfectionist, honest and very knowledgeable mechanic. He works hard to make sure he provides excellent service to all his customers. Josh is very skillful, not only as a mechanic, but also he was able to replace worn leather seat covers in one of my cars, making the interior look new again. I highly recommend Josh Bevan for all your auto repair needs. read more

Exceptional Service! First time visiting this mechanic and I don't see a reason to go anywhere else ever again. He was able to get my car in the next day after calling. Josh was very fair and friendly and found a solution to an issue I'd been dealing with and fixed it quickly! I love the way he took the time to explain the problem to me, and the price was very reasonable. read more

Josh is an honest and trustworthy mechanic. The moment I met him, I could already tell what kind of person he is. I had a weird battery issue and the socket in my blinker went out. He solved and fixed everything and explained everything to me without making me feel insecure about not knowing much about cars. Josh will be my go to mechanic from now on. Everything was also very reasonably priced! Go to Josh, you won't regret it! read more

My daughter goes to school at Sonoma State and her window regulator broke. I called Josh he told me to have her bring the car by confirmed the problem, taped the window up and fixed it the next day. Honest, fair and quality work. read more

We have been taking our vehicles to Josh for years and he never disappoints. Always honest and efficient. You will not be disappointed.

I really appreciate the time Josh takes to explain what work he is doing and why. His work is spot on and his prices are more than fair. I have been to Bevan twice for work on my truck and will continue to be a customer here. If you are looking for a mechanic you can really trust, Bevan Auto Repair is the place for you. read more

Always a panic with something goes wrong with our cars, right?? My service engine light went on, and immediately, my car made a not normal noise. I got home safely, and called Josh Bevan at his shop. He was highly recommended by people I trust, and they were spot on! He calmly listened, and he got me in right away. My car is a 2002 Nissan Maxima, with 238,000 miles. I'm planning on replacing it, but was hoping to buy some time. After Josh's thorough inspection and explaining options, I felt very informed to make decisions. The work he did was excellent and the price extremely competitive. The best part was working with such an honest and knowledgeable expert. I can't recommend Bevan Auto Repair enough. Thanks, Josh, for getting me back on the road with a smile and peace of mind! read more

Great service, honest and reasonable. Someone you can trust with your car. Josh will not steer you wrong. Give him a try if you haven't already. You won't be sorry!! read more

BRING YOUR CAR HERE! Josh is so incredibly helpful! His prices are AMAZING! His work is SO FAST! I really appreciate everything he has done for me. I have brought 2 cars into him and he finished the job in a day and even had some suggestions to help me out for the future. He was so helpful and so informative. Thank you, Josh! I will definitely be bringing my car back if I ever have trouble! read more

Josh is the most honest and loyal mechanic I have ever had. I am so glad that he started his own business we will all benefit from this.

I took my car here as I needed an oil change and tune-up. While there I mentioned that my car occasionally had problems idling low. Josh was amazing! He explained the suspected issue in terms I could understand, and suggested the least expensive work first to see if that resolved the issue. Turns out it did - the part only needed to be cleaned, not replaced. This saved me several hundred dollars! If you're looking for a great mechanic who is also very honest, Josh and Bevan Auto Repair is the place to go. read more

My husband and I were so excited when Josh opened his own place (he had been our favorite mechanic at a previous shop). We have now taken both our cars to Bevan Auto Repair. Josh is very thorough both in the work he does on the car and in the time he takes to explain his estimate and recommendations. His prices are extremely competitive - much lower than other places I've been. We are going to be regulars! read more

Took our little Hyundai car for a timing belt change, which at the dealer, costs a fortune! Not only did Josh give us a great price, but he also took care of some other minor things that we needed and kept our overall cost down. He was very detailed about exactly what he would do for us and what the cost would be.. no costly surprises! He even came and got my husband so he could pick up the car during business hours when I was unavailable running our own store. Excellent service, lots of knowledge, extremely efficient and reliable. Can't give him enough stars! Will definitely be bringing in our other car for some work soon! Thanks!! Sue & Raleigh read more

Josh is knowledgeable, prices are fair and most importantly he is honest! I had taken my car in to another shop and they didn't know what was wrong for sure but tried to get me to do a $3500 repair. Took my car to Josh and for less than $300 my car seems to be all better! I won't take my car to anyone else from now on! read more

Bevan Auto Repair is a quality shop dedicated to customer satisfaction. They clearly explain the issues my truck needs fixed and then deliver the repairs without issue. What I like most is that Bevan will let you know what is important to repair and what can wait. The quality of work is equal to or better than other Mechanics I have hired. I really like Bevan Auto Repair service because I feel they provide a value other shops don't and that I'm their most important client. read more

Top notch service. Best automotive shop in Sonoma County hands down. I would highly recommend Bevan auto repair for any automotive needs. Josh is very professional, knowledgeable and always delivers as promised. read more

Amazing service. I absolutely love this place over anywhere else I have been. Josh and I talk every time I need to take a vehicle in. Pricing for trusted work is the best. read more

I was from out of town, looking for a good & honest mechanic. I asked local friends who they would recommend, and they said that Josh Bevan's place was the best. I was only in town for a few days, and needed my car fixed right away and he went to work on it right away. He did a great job getting it fixed, and his prices were reasonable and honest. I feel like this is the place to get your car fixed and back on the road. read more

I had my brakes fixed at Bevan Automotive and I was really pleased with the service. It was less expensive than the quote I had gotten. Plus I got really good service including a clear explanation of what had been done and work I should consider in the future. Great shop! read more

I've always taken my Lexus ES 350 to the dealer for service, but when it came time for the very expensive 120K service, I decided to try an independent repair shop, as I suspected it needed additional work as well. Read the Yelp reviews and settled on Bevan Auto Repair, and I'm so glad that I did. Josh is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, honest, and dedicated to excellent customer service. He did a great job on my car at a fraction of the price the dealer was going to charge. Extremely impressed! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but this one is absolutely necessary. I've had very bad car problems, bad mechanic luck and A LOT of money gone. On Friday my 2010 car (not THAT old) broke down for the 3rd time in 5 months! First repair was $3400 for all new brakes, full service and all new tires, second I took it in because the transmission was "rough" coming out of first... wahla! Needs a transmission rebuild!! Another $3800! Not 6 days after being without it for 3 weeks, full service, rebuild and given the run around ...I'm on the side of the freeway, again! The last 2 times I did research, asked for referrals, called mechanic after mechanic, did my do-diligence & still had very unfortunate experiences. This time I just found the closest mechanic to where my car was broken down and surprise, I couldn't be happier!! Josh at Bevan is awesome!! He referred me to Nestor's Towing (who was also phenomenal), got my car, did a full diagnoses, changed my tire (oh yes, one of the brand new tires shredded as I was breaking down) and did a full write up as to all that was going on. When I got there, his adorable dog greeted me, he took the time to walk me through everything going on (that brand new transmission is spewing trans oil everywhere), was respectful, knowledgeable and after all this work, I was walking away spending under $100 out the door! I wish I found Josh months ago! I can't recommend him enough and I will be coming to him from now on. He was honest about repairs he'd be happy to do and ones he recommended weren't his specialty...I've never met a straightforward mechanic like this. Thank you Josh for making this horrible car ordeal easier!! You are honestly a stand up man and mechanic! You have reignited a single mom's faith again. Not to be mellow dramatic...it really was a rough few months! read more
