BJ's Auto Care - Overcharged drive belt for 2004 kia spectra. SCAMMERS. - Auto Repair Near Me - Daly City, California

I've been going to BJs ever since an uber driver told me about him. When I first took my Chevy cruz (I know) it was just basic stuff, but when it started getting more serious he'd explain all the details and the process to me and show me the prices of parts on the computer. The last time I went to him with that car he told me he wasn't going to fix it. Not because he couldn't, but because he said it would cost too much and that I should just use that money on a down payment for a new car. He even went out of his way to tell me about the government funding to salvage my car for a better price than just junking it. Him and his wife have always been very sweet to me (they gave me some mochi donuts once cuz I was stuck there until my car was fixed) and have never taken advantage of me. I asked him that once and he said "I don't have time to do that. I need to fix real issues." He's a real one. I was able to convince him to give me one of his embroidered hats. I wear it every time I go now, just for maintenance on my "new" Honda Fit (which he also inspected for me before I bought it). 10/10 would recommend. read more

BJ's Auto Care - His last embroidered hat (no he does not sell hats) - Auto Repair Near Me - Daly City, California

Started out with diagnostic due to misfire. From this point on communication was very brief and very little to no info was given to me about what was going on in detail. Had a p0300 misfire and that was the only code . Keep in mind 4 months prior I hade coils , wires and plugs replaced . I was told that 3 plugs and 1 ignition coil was need ed . So at this point I feel that all spark plugs should be placed instead of 3 . Then I come in to pay and seen my invoice that an extra spark plug was added and receptionist said ignition coil was good and bj told me personally about this ignition coil being bad. At this point for diagnostic and 4 plugs my total was 600$!!!!!! Now I wasn't able to talk to bj because receptionists didn't seem let me or came out when I tried to talk to him . As I left I felt my car still misfiring slightly disappointed. I brought the car back and was told to leave it leaving the car overnight. I received a phone call the next day saying they wanted to replace the other four spark plugs that should've been checked and changed when I first got the diagnostic. I told him that all the spark plugs were new and they told me that they didn't look new the first four plugs that were bad. Why would you change for spark plugs that were bad and not need to check the other spark plugs. I was told they will change the for spark plugs for another 200. Wowwwww! Not only that I was charged $50 for gas that I didn't even approve for and I showed up with half tank so I don't know where all the gas went then I was charged extra on my bill because they were charged 3% on credit cards does BJ do good work yes I will not take that from him, but I do not appreciate being jumped around. Money is hardly earned and I feel a little bit of disappointment specially I've been in the neighborhood for a long time. I definitely will not be back. I'm $$850 in for eight spark plugs. And still have not talk to bj about my car in detail and specifically what previous work was done and specifically what he had done just a bunch of miscommunication and overcharging from my standpoint 850 for 8 spark plugs should have been half that !!!!!!!! They for sure will try to rip you off and for sure charge you double then what the job really is not trustworthy on the diagnostic and will charge you double what the job is worth the story is exactly how I posted it. nothing more nothing less the job was complete. He did a good job on my vehicle after the fact, but I was double charged for this job and the receptionist not cool. read more

Great service and fair pricing! They are willing to take the time to explain the work that needs to be performed. Genuine and honest. Thanks BJ! read more

No appointment, pulled up and they accommodated me right away! I had a nail in tire, they even checked all my tires including the spare after the repairs! Very pleasant interactions that made me feel at home with them! 10/10 would recommend! read more

10/10. My family & I have been coming to BJ since forever. 1 & only car shop we personally go to for any car needs. Very friendly, kind & approachable! read more

I came here multiple times I bring a friend to check out his Toyota Highlander, and the owner was so disrespectful and rude. Even though he had a lot going on he was completely beyond unprofessional, disturbing behavior. Highly recommend do not come to the shop my friend drove from Vallejo, California to come see him for disco to be so disrespectful. Babies having a bad day, but you don't treat customers like that especially paying customers. read more

I'm new to maintenence for my car and I needed to get new rear brake pads and rotor. I came to this shop after looking around for a decent price and they were very helpful. They replaced my brake pads when a different shop recommended I needed to do the rotors too. But they were gonna charge me double and my rotors were still okay. The people were friendly and got my brakes done the same day I dropped off the car and they gave me a fair price. I highly recommend this shop! read more

I have been bringing my Honda Fit to BJ for 5 years now. I am a retired woman who knows nothing about cars. I am so glad to have someone I trust absolutely to be honest about what needs to be done, and who is an excellent mechanic. He is polite, kind, patient, and professional. His rates are reasonable as well. read more

I've been here a couple of times because they're quick and their work costs are fair. I remember I had an issues that was an error on my part and they didn't charge me for diagnosing the check engine light. They even checked my oil since they were already under the hood. Another time they went to the Lexus dealership to pick up a genuine part, instead of an after-market. Even gave me the bag from Lexus. Honest people, great service. read more

BJ's Auto Care delivered fast and reliable results! I had to register my car for the DMV and was in and out of the DMV due to needing a brake and light inspection. I called around and not many places did these inspections. After getting my inspection, i headed back to the DMV and they said they needed a smog check! I called around and not many places did smog checks for diesel cars. Too my surprise BJ, whom i just saw earlier that day did do smog checks for diesels! It was a long day in and out of the DMV but BJ delivered and i get all my inspections done in 1 day! read more

BJ is a one man show at his shop and he can take care of all of your auto needs. I've been bringing my cars here for a couple of years now and he has never let me down. Fantastic service, always friendly and very fair prices. His wife runs the counter and BJ handles the rest. He has numerous certifications posted on the walls to prove how he has mastered his craft. No job seems to phase him and you can give him a call Monday through Saturday and even drop in to see if he has the time to take care of your needs. Even when he is swamped he will do his best to fit you in. He is super trustworthy and he won't steer you wrong! What more can you ask for? Thank you BJ, see you soon! read more

Came in for an oil change and it was quick, easy, and decently priced. I was worried about my A/C unit but the technician (I didn't get his name) took the time to explain that it wasn't broken and how it actually works to get the coolest air possible. Highly recommend! They will take good care of your car and your pockets. read more

Great service, prompt and honest. They do basic service on cars and smog check. This is a family run business and BJ will most likely be the one that will greet you and explain what's going on. He gave me a short report on how my truck is doing and didn't try to add on extra things. I recommend this guy. read more

I have been going to BJ's Auto care for 6 years but his service has gone downhill. We take 4 cars to him for service and now we will take 0 cars to him. To start I took my minivan to him and he changed the radiator hose. It was still leaking and when I took it back he said "Oh the hose is leaking." I said but you just changed the hose and says "Oh I meant the thermostat housing and a belt." I left the van for him to fix and I asked him about a smog station that was a Star Station because I also needed to smog my van. He said when you come pick it up I will give you the name of a place you make take it. I specifically said o.k. will it be done in enough time today to be able to take it and get it done today? He said yes. When I came to pick up my van, BJ was not there and his mechanic John was. I asked John for the name of the place to take it and then John says "Oh no you cannot smog it now because I disconnected the battery which cleared the computer so you will have to drive it at a certain speed for certain miles to reset the computer before it will pass smog now. I said what do you mean? John then says well BJ did not tell me so or else I would not have disconnected the battery. Now I have tried to drive it the right amount of miles but it has not been enough. BJ then said leave it here and I will drive it the right amount. He then keeps it for 2 days and calls me saying I can't get it to reset the computer. I explained this is unacceptable and why did you allow John to disconnect the battery knowing I was going to smog it? He then says " No we didn't disconnect the battery." I said yes you did because John told me he did. Now I have a car that won't pass smog unless I drive it at a certain speed and a certain amount of miles. This has caused me so much trouble besides the fact I found out he never even changed the thermostat housing and just fixed the leak on the hose that he had fixed supposedly before. I spent over $500 and the problem is still not solved and I can't smog it. This is complete negligence and I will not take any vehicle to him ever again. Bad business! read more

The owner quoted us $500 something to change the suspension so we said ok do it and then he said he was going to do an oil change too so we said ok because how much can an oil change cost? Well when we went to get out car our total came out to $800 something . That is ridiculous. If we had known an oil change would be $300 we would've said no and did that shit ourselves. read more

Definitely a trust worthy shop. Bj does his best I have serviced my car several times with him from oil change to battery and regular maintenance. He is honest reliable and gets the job done. Thank u Bj read more

A friend of the family referred us to BJ. It's nice to have a mechanic who we can trust. BJ is upfront about what needs to get done right away and what can wait a while. When he fixes anything, he explains everything in detail. If he has to replace parts, he shows us what had to be removed so that we can see the damage ourselves. read more

Bj is the absolute best. He saw us within less than five minutes and he took into consideration that we were on time crunch. He checked each tire and capped all the tires missing caps. Would highly recommend this stand up guy to anyone! read more

After waiting at another place to get my Smog test done for an hour with no progress I decided to stop in here. Great service and was done in short order. Would definitely go back for other car service needs. read more

BJ is awesome! Aside from his inviting and attentive personality, he always pays very close attention to his work and provides really helpful insight and alternative solutions to your car problems. He gives you info on your car problems with suggested options, and let's you decide how you want to approach it. He doesn't pressure you into fixing anything, and gives clear info so you actually understand what's going on with your car. It's always great working with him! Two thumbs up! read more

After John did the smog test on my son's car, I/we came back for repairs. He is honest, fair and efficient. Thanks a lot John.
