I've never had to get my own car serviced and repaired before so I wanted to know that I was in good hands. I went on facebook and asked the harbor point group what people recommended for auto repair and the great reviews of scottys caught my eye. I called up scottys and they let me know they were booked for the next 2 days (it was the first) but they said to drop it off and that they would do their best to look at it beforehand. sure enough I got a call the next day with a breakdown of what needed to be done. They gave me an estimate which was HALF WHAT THE JEEP DEALER QUOTED US, plus it didnt include some of the nonsensical stuff they suggested to fix that scottys said did not need to be done. ultimately they were able to get everything done before we headed out for vacation. when I went to go pick it up, they had admitted there was a communication error and that it wasnt ready just yet and that it would be another hour or so. I mentioned that I had just took an uber and had a lot of other things to try to work on and to see if they could try to give me an accurate time estimate. the guy there (isaac i think) just handed me a set of keys and said heres a loaner ill call you! that alone made this a 6 star experience! talk about admitting to a mistake and making up for it with phenomenal service. anywho, i know where ill be getting my oil changed moving forward! thank you guys!

Is 0 stars possible?…read more I went to this place by accident after confusing it with universal auto body (who does a solid job by the way), to get my brakes inspected. After telling me they were going to waive the diagnosis fee, they took three hours to diagnose the problem and falsely told me I needed to get multiple different things replaced, costing over $2800. After telling them I was going to try and get a 2nd opinion, they charged me $180+ just for the diagnosis. I am now getting it fixed at another place for less than $1000. These guys are thieves!

True, as one below noted, he is not bubbly and effusive and coming from behind the counter to join you for coffee, but if you're taking your car anywhere for that... Bob's has always been honest about the issues with my cars and either fixed them (always reasonable in pricing) or advising I'll need an advanced specialist or that he sees no solution (I'm talking about you, Jaguar).

This guy clearly does not want to be doing emissions tests, and will make you wonder what the heck is going on because there is no communication or instructions provided... except maybe via a grumble or something.

Working with him was every bit as seamless and enjoyable as it was a decade ago. Sebastian is as knowledgeable about the product as ever, straightforward, and always delivers exactly what he promises, when he promises it. He took the time to answer all our questions (and there were plenty!) and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. Beyond being an exceptional sales advisor, he's simply a great human being--someone you can trust completely. If you're considering a BMW, do yourself a favor and ask for Sebastian. We've worked with him twice now, ten years apart, and both experiences have been outstanding. My immediate family have also purchased through him with him similar, wonderful experiences. Highly recommended!

At first, I brought my car just for brake replacement, but they did extra inspection and found other issues that were endangering my car. The mechanics, especially Chris are fantastic -- really knowledgeable and dedicated, careful with the car, and paid attention to the details. Not to mention, they work so fast and get the job done within a day or matter of 1-2 days! Also, the front office staff is communicative, and on top of it, getting back right away. After receiving my car back, it now actually runs better than when I first bought it nearly 2 decades ago! It is smoother, lighter, and the worrying sounds are gone. I would trust this precision center with my car and recommend them to any friends, family, or strangers.
