coolest mechanic ever had. Fixed my girlfriend's car in less than 2 hours and gave me a ferrari hat that goes with my ferrari jacket. Completed my outfit. read more

Bernard is really a top tier guy and very honest. He got me in and out without a hitch.

How does this guy have almost a 5 star review? His friends and family gave him the five stars. He will charge you 160 for a tire rotation when they do it down the street for 30. Supposedly it's for "using his rack" which doesn't justify the price. If you go here you will be taken advantage of. read more

He took me in minutes after I called him and he had my car done the next day. Not to mention the great price and great communication. I highly recommend! read more

I hit a curb with my BMW X3, ruined a tire, and Bernard was great and helped me out quickly and courteously. (While I was there he did an oil change too so that was terrific.) Highly recommend this hidden gem! I'll be going back for all my car needs. Recommend you do the same. Owner is honest and kind. read more

Talk about a diamond in the rough! I came across this place off of pure luck. I was diagnosed by the dealership that my transmission was going out but decided to have a 2nd opinion. Turned onto this street as I was looking for 7 mile for lunch and stopped to ask the gentleman that was outside of his shop moving vehicles. You could tell he was busy but still was able to assist me with directions. I figured I'd ask him if he could give me his opinion the issue with my car. I told him I would come back after lunch. Ever since then, Bernard is the only mechanic i trust with my car. He'll give you his honest opinion and doesnt gouge you like other shops do. Still driving my accord with the same transmission and he FIXED my misfire. read more

I was unable to pass the smog check for unknown reason for over a month and the stress of my registration and tag expiring was weighing on me daily. Trip after trip to my usual auto shop nearby, they couldn't figure out what to do. Thankfully Bernard at Mechano Garage was able to quickly identify the problem and got my car fixed to pass the check in no time. Now I can resume volunteering to transport animals from shelters, foster homes, and vets! I highly recommend Bernard and his garage as he is a great guy and a very intuitive mechanic. Best of all, very reasonably priced for his amazing work. read more

Bernard has helped me too many times to list. I've taken my '03 Honda, '04 Honda, '66 Ford F-250, 2002 VW Eurovan, Wife's 2011 Prius and her mom's '97 BMW Z3. Every time, the work is excellent and fairly priced. One story however, really says it all. the family and i were in the VW leaving for a trip to SoCal when we hit a curb and damaged the tire. I called Bernard and told him that we needed to get down to SoCal for a memorial. Bernard said "Bring the car over! I was leaving for the airport to pick up my sister but i'll tell her to take a Lyft" he had us going in no time and we were not late for our event. that's service that is WAY above and beyond the call of duty! thanks Bernard! read more

Great shop to take your car. I was kind of dreading to take my ford escort for the 180k service. Dreading it so Munich that I have been putting it off for too long. So I saw the other reviews and decided to bite the bullet. I took my little car down to the shop and got an estimate. There was no standard fee he just said lets open the hood and see what needs to be done. So he did. He opened the hood and said this looks good, this is fine, look at these cracks though, you should get a new belt, cables, fuel, and air filter. There were a few other items but it was far less painful than I expected. What I appreciated most was that he took the time to show me what needed to be done. I did not feel that I was taken to the cleaners at all. Will definitely be back. read more

Mechano Garage - Front door is plain but there is nothing plain inside. - Auto Repair Near Me - Brisbane, California

Quick, fair, and skilled. The triple crown for a mechanic. Thank you for the great customer service!

I have a 2012 Audi Q5. So when it comes to auto upkeep and maintenance, it's going to be expensive. I was recommended to go see Bernard when it was time to get new brake rotors and pads. His estimate was a lot more reasonable than what the dealership would've charged. When I first got to his shop, I was greeted with a smile and welcoming arms. He immediately checked out the car while I was there to make sure the estimate was correct and there wouldn't be any other issues. He did a thorough walk through and confirmed what needed to be done. He is an honest mechanic. He actually took the time to explain what work needs to be done and why; taking time to show the actual parts with the explanation. You will not feel lied to or taken for like some other mechanics. The work was done just as explained. I came back to pick up the car and he did another thorough explanation of what work was completed. Full transparency with superior work. If you need work done on your car, Bernard is your guy. read more

Recently Bernard Bassil, owner of Mechano, Brisbane, worked on my 2000 Mercedes C280. He was able to resolve two complicated problems that no one else had been able to resolve. Bernard's courtesy & professionalism is the best, & one cannot help but notice how clean he maintains the business. This is a first-class operation which I recommend without reservation. read more

The best!!! ---- the owner, Bernard Bassil,is knowledgeable and explains everything to me. He did a through exam to my car when my car had water leakage. He diagnosed the problem correctly and suggested that I could replace the part by myself. I did fix the problem after followed his instruction. It costed me only $ 10 instead of $300 if it was fixed by a mechanic. His professional and honest attitude to customers has impressed me. I will definitely be coming back to his service in the future. I cannot say enough good things about his services. Highly recommend!!! read more

Mr. Bernard is professional, efficient, and highly skilled. His prices are reasonable. He takes extra steps to help customers. I always get my car serviced here even after I moved out of Brisbane. Highly recommended ! read more

nearly $850 of a bill and they didnt even do what i asked... it was in for a service and a pulley change which was fine until a week later when im on a huge drive and my brakes burnt out..not cool... total rip off for headlights too.. $250 over what i shouldve paid never again read more

I've been bringing my 1996 Tacoma to Bernard for five or six years. He is the nicest, most honest, and best mechanic I've ever found.

As a big gear head I can't remember being this happy with a repair shop in a very long time. I have taken all three of my cars to Bernard and could not be more pleased with the service I have received. I am telling all my friends to go see him. read more

A friend noticed that the passenger door handle on my aging Mercedes was undone - he said "You know who you should go to? Bernard." I took his advice called Mechano and showed Bernard the door handle and also the disabled center console that was not working/opening/closing properly, plus the plastic plate around the shifter that had come undone. (Why not get all the little non-critical, but annoying, things fixed at the same time?) He fixed all three items, and went way above what most shops would have done. Rather than simply removing and replacing the large center console (which 100% of other shops would have done and passed on a huge cost for Mercedes parts), he patiently took the multi-spring/latching piece apart and expertly put it back together - good as new! (I could have never done that!) All at a very, very, reasonable cost. Yes, it is not exactly a convenient location, but he will work with you on getting you and the car to/from him. This is the way all businesses should work. read more

I am thrilled that my friend recommended Bernard. He has worked on my car 2 times in the last month. He's very customer minded and goes to great length to make the experience easy. He's arranged easy transport each time so that the drive isn't inconvenient. His work has been excellent and I highly recommend him. read more

Bernard at Mechano Garage is so great at what he does, I feel the need to let everyone know! Usually, when it comes to writing reviews on yelp, I get lazy... Don't feel like taking the time to get on the computer, log in, find the business, take the time to write a review for people who may or may not care about my opinion, but he has justified me taking the time to tell anyone who cares... If you're looking for someone trustworthy (aren't we all when looking for a mechanic), quick and reliable, Bernard at Mechano Garage is the way to go. I was referred to him from a mutual friend, we've had him work on two different cars of ours and don't mind one bit driving across town to have him make a budget friendly decision on how we should proceed with service for our vehicles. Bernard, if you get a chance to read this, THANK YOU! read more
