    I have been having ongoing signs of issues with my car of parts that I paid to be repaired and…read morereplaced. I brought my car to get an inspection of what may possibly be the problem. Perhaps, needing service on repairs and parts that I have already paid for. On July of 2025, I took my car to a shop because my car was making noises...brakes, tires and so on needed to be replaced, I paid for that. Then, as I was driving my car it came to a complete stop. I was unable to move because it wouldn't turn on, my fuel pumps were the problem. Paid to have those replaced at the same shop that I trusted. On March of this year, 2026, I'm at Target and my car failed to turn on. I towed it to the same shop and they "repaired and replaced my non-working fuel pumps" because it was still under warranty. My car is acting up, possibly fuel pumps again. This would be the third time in a year dealing with the same problem. Long story short, brought it to G & J Auto Repair Shop to have George inspect it because I feel that he is honest. Spoke to him in March of this year when my fuel pumps gave out again. I had warranty and so I decided to take it back to old shop. He has been understanding, has checked my electrical concerns,inspected the fuel pumps and has taken the time to inspect my overall car, so that I can have a peace of mind! I wholeheartly appreciate that! He has provided me with excellent customer service and so has his son, Luis! Thank you and may your business continue to flourish!

Another mechanic changed the spark plugs/coils but the code was still popping up. G&J was able to diagnose that I had a bad vacuum hose. They replaced it, and the code was cleared. For AC repair, George quoted me on the cost for AC compressor and fan replacement (parts & labor). Pricing was very good. Next day they had my car ready for me to hit the road. I pulled off the lot with my AC blasting ice cold, engine codes cleared, and car running Great! So thankful for George and team taking care of me. I definitely found my new Go-To mechanic. 10/10 highly recommend!!

    Been coming here for nearly five years and we absolutely love the customer service we've received…read moreeach and every year (we have two cars and do a *lot* of commuting, so that's the only reason why we've had to come in so often). Sadly, this will be our last time getting our car checked-up here since we'll be moving out of state - but this shop has definitely raised the bar of what we expect from car repair shops. Each and every time we've had our car repaired or had its oil changed in *OTHER* shops (including nation-wide big name car shops... looking at you, Jiffy Lube), we'd get the usual run-around of this-needs-fixing-that-needs-fixing, you-need-these-parts, you-need-this-cleaned-out... But whenever we'd go back to this shop and tell them what the other shops recommended, they'd give the car a thorough look-through and find that NONE of the recommended actions were needed, nor even recommended. They've even found some minor issues that the other shops hadn't noticed. From our experience, they're not the cheapest, but they're definitely the most reliable. They've always been honest with their work, customer care, and quotes. And if they can't offer a fix, or they don't have a specialty in some of the jobs, they have always given us the contact information of other shops that can help us. Honestly can't say enough good things about them, they're an amazing car shop and we'll seriously miss their kindness and thoroughness. We'll be bringing them a homemade cheesecake once our car's final repairs are done (we'll need it in tip-top shape for a cross-country trip) as an extra thank you for all the help they've given us over the years.

We arrived said we were looking to get our car smog certificated. They took the registration document and said that they lost their STAR Smog Certification and they could not do it... come back in a couple years! Very disappointed that we had to go there to find out they could not do the certification, instead of telling us over the phone.

    I CAN NOT THANK DAVE AND BRANDON ENOUGH!!! I recently…read morestopped into Bolles Alignment for a brake job on my 2022 Chevy Silverado. While I was there I also mentioned that my steering wheel had some play and asked if they could take a look. Brandon welcomed me in and was very hospitable. Once the truck was ready I returned to the shop and both Brandon and Dave explained what was going on with my steering.. Turns out that when I had last been at my local Chevy dealer having a recalled steering wheel swapped out, the dealer mechanic DID NOT properly reassemble my steering components and I quite literally was a few vibrations or 1 large pot hole away from having no steering. My overall experience with this shop was great. Their prices are reasonable and they work quickly and efficiently. But the fact that they could diagnose and repair a problem of that magnitude AND get me back on the road in the same day is really what sets them apart. I will 100% be returning to Bolles Alignment in the future for my auto needs. Thanks again!!

I was going to get my brake job done by a mobile service that was less expensive, but they backed out of the job. I showed up at Bolles because of their good communication and 5-stat reviews. It appears to be a father/son duo. No other customers had arrived yet and they took in my car right away. I expected to be in their waiting room for at least 3-4 hours but I was out much quicker. While waiting in the space, the dad brought me a mini fan )no AC) since temps expected to rise to 100. Super kind. Little acts like that and the speedy service will make me a repeat customer.
