C&C Auto has been great to work with on two major repairs. The first time I came in, it was for an engine leak, and the owner actually fixed a dent for me while he was at it! I was in shock. It's rare to get that level of service anywhere, much less a mechanic's shop. The second fix was for an A/C replacement, and they came in under their estimate. Everyone I've dealt with has been super friendly and communicative. I used to go here years ago when it was Steve's Place, who was also amazing. The current owner has been working there since Steve owned it. I would highly recommend these guys. read more

Steve's Place / C&C Auto - Thanks for taking care of our little Subaru, C&C! - Auto Repair Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Saved me from buying a possible money pit!! I took a truck there for a pre-purchase inspection. They were very thorough and when they found some unfortunate red flags they were super helpful while being unbiased. Took so much time to patiently help me by discussing lots of potential options and outcomes. Seemed very honest and down to earth and weren't just trying to make a buck and move me along. I highly recommend this great little shop!! read more

Thi is most definitely worthy of a Five Star rating. They are excellent mechanics, trustworthy, will go that 'extra step' for their customers, and there will never be a surprise when it comes to the final cost for repairs. To me this mean they have integrity, reliability, and genuine interest in doing their best for their customer. read more

I have a Saturn Vue, which no longer makes cars, so parts are next to impossible to find. I'm happy to say Steve's place found it at a scrap yard in Seattle! I was quoted a price, in the meantime, I was given a ride both ways, rather than waiting for the repair. When it was time to pay the bill, it was less because he fixed it in less time, and I was given a discount for paying cash. All in all, this was a very positive experience, and I will definitely remember them if I ever need auto repair service. Super friendly people too! read more

I've heard of Steve through a few mutual friends here in Bend who have given this place praise for their integrity and work. It's absolutely true - the folks at Steve's place troubleshooted and delivered every single time on my older Tacoma and 4Runner when the Toyota dealership folks completely missed the mark. All at a fair price. Will definitely be giving my business to the folks at Steve's place read more

Been going to this place for a few years now to service our Volvos (2004 XC70 with 255k miles, 2008 C30 T5 with 130k miles, 2006 S40 2.4i with 170k miles) and it's the only place in town I trust to A) Do the job well, and B) not rip me off in the process. I'm a home mechanic but whenever I hit a job a bit out of my league, Steve's Place is always my go-to. You'd be surprised how many places say they "specialize" in Volvo yet have no idea what a DICE or VIDA is. The guys' at Steve's Place though, they know what they're talking about and have always recommended the most cost effective yet long-term repairs possible to keep my cars running for hundreds of thousands of miles to come. read more

Okay, I drive a VW Beetle and had warranty service done at VW last week. They told me I needed a new drive belt that wasn't *covered* under warranty. They wanted a pretty penny for replacement so I called around. Found this place and just went in today for service. The mechanic said I didn't even need my belt replaced and I had plentyyy of miles left. THE HONESTY. I just had to write a raving review because a good, honest business is hard to come by. Take your car here knowing they won't rip you off! Thanks for being honest C&C! read more

Don from Steve's place is fabulous, honest, fair, and great all around great service, would definitely use him for a mechanic. We have used him for the last 4 years and has always been great. read more

Honest, sincere, quick turnaround, and fair pricing. Things were looking bleak for my Volvo V70, but the mechanic went above and beyond to fix it, and I am grateful. read more

The angle gear in our 2006 Volvo XC90 busted last year, and we were dragging our feet in getting it fixed, as the local dealer was quoting us at $2500. I came across Steve's place and read the reviews, and we called him up. He immediately explained what might be wrong with the Volvo, quoted us prices for new and used parts +labor, and was very thorough in all the information. We were very impressed with how quickly he fixed the XC90, how reasonable the pricing was, and that he took the time to show us the parts he replaced, how they functioned, and where/why they broke. We are extremely happy with our experience here, and absolutely trust Steve's Place for their quality work, speed of completion, communication throughout the process, and treating us like people instead of just the next customer. read more

Honest and friendly. They weren't able to service the Audi due to dealer issues but didn't charge me. I would go back again

I bought a 2nd hand Audi and asked the previous owner where he got it serviced. He recommended Steve's Place and I've been going there ever since. Honest, fair prices. I have complete faith in them. read more

I was on a road trip from Cali to Seattle. Unfortunately, when we started our van one morning in Bend, OR, loud popping noise and steam came out of the hood. I turned off the engine immediately, waited a minute and tried again - Same thing happened. It's frustrating when your car acts up. It's even more frustrating when you are in an unfamiliar city, hundreds of miles from home. Since I know jack about cars, I didn't want to embark on a 3 hour drive from Bend to Portland without getting it checked. While waiting for the tow truck to arrive, someone from the Visitor's Center came out and handed me a Post It with Steve's number. After explaining what happened, Steve looked over my car right away. After about 20 minutes, he said he couldn't find anything wrong. He checked all the fluids and "all the regular suspects" but, nada. I was on my way with only an hour off schedule. And the best part? He didn't charge me. I would have been happy to pay for his time, but he wouldn't accept it. "We're here to help," is what he said. "Have a good trip." CAN YOU BELIEVE A MECHANIC DIDN'T TRY TO RIP ME OFF? Oh, just a heads up for those making the CA to Oregon trip. 1) It's illegal to pump your own gas (do not get me started on the inefficiency of this) 2) The leg between Bend and Portland has you going over Mt. Hood with no shoulder to pull over. FUEL UP and Try to do it during day light hours in case you break down. There isn't a gas station until you're over the mountain. read more

I have a 2006 Volvo XC90 and a 2011 Audi Q5. Steve's Place is the only shop I will use. Both vehicles were serviced by their respective dealerships until after the warranty expired. In the case of the Volvo - long after.... Then I took them to Steve, and he did what ACTUALLY needed to be done, and clearly explained what DID need to be changed, updated, or replaced, while also explaining what the dealership was replacing long before it was needed. When the block cracked on the Volvo, Steve's Place found a well warrantied replacement and changed engines, parts and labor for less than the dealership wanted for a less warrantied engine. As long as Steve keeps the garage door open, my vehicles will get their service inside. read more

First time needing major service for my TDI Golf in Bend. I had what could have been a major service repair and was relieved that Steve was able to diagnosis the issue and complete the repair in the same day. I am happy to have a reliable and honest place to take my VW. read more

You can draw your own conclusion. I'm just telling you the facts. Took the car in for an oil change yesterday. Steve said I needed a new timing belt ASAP. He said the belt looked like the original belt, and had never been changed. I went home and checked my receipts to see if the belt had been changed. It had been changed about a year ago, Sept 9, 2011...by Steve's Place. My husband and I opened the hood to look at the belt, which looked pretty new to us. Needless to say, we are looking for a new mechanic. read more

My friends and I were visiting Bend for a week when I noticed that my 20 yr old Volvo was having mechanical problems. Steve rearranged his schedule the next day and repaired my car in a professional manner at an affordable price. I highly recommend his shop! read more

Love Steve's place! Steve is really knowledgable when it comes to keeping older Volvo's running smoothly without spending a ton of money. Steve was no non-sense about what my car needed and what I could wait on. I will continue servicing my Volvo here for as long as I keep it. read more

Steve is one of the most reliable and experienced mechanic that has ever worked on my Passat. If you have a Volkswagon and you need service- go here!!! read more
