Excellent service and people
B & C has been in business for more than 52 years, owned by the same family. To me, that speaks volumes. They care, not only about the business, but also each other and it shows by how they dealt with me. When I went in to pick up my truck, Cory was helping me get taken care of when his dad walked in and greeted him with " Good morning, son." It was very emotional for me to hear that and I feel blessed to witness that caring and love. Semper Fi!

Another great service at B & C !
Scheduled service completed without any problems. They identified the front brakes is needing replaced and did so promptly. Several other areas were noted to watch and could wait to be addressed in the future.
Cory L. from B & C Auto Repair responded on 10/14/2025 09:30 AM

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! 🚗 It sounds like our team was on the ball—addressing those front brakes like pros while also giving you a heads-up on future maintenance. It's always nice to know there’s a game plan for your vehicle. If only our cars could take the day off and let us drive them for a change! 😉 Safe travels, and we look forward to keeping your ride in top shape!

Oil change
We really appreciate B & C auto repair for caring for both our Rave4 and our Toyota Tundra truck. Their reminder texts for care have kept our two cars running well and without added expenses.

We appreciate your kind words and are delighted to keep your Rave4 and Tundra running smoothly—no one likes surprise expenses, except maybe a magician.

It’s a diesel!
I recently had the unfortunate event of having gasoline put in my diesel…by a neighbor, who has borrowed my vehicle previously and hadn’t made this mistake!! I trust B&C Automotive to perform any work on my vehicle as they are professional, friendly, and feel like family. They even suggested seeing if my insurance would cover this and sure enough they did!
Cory L. from B & C Auto Repair responded on 09/10/2024 09:30 AM

It seems your neighbor has taken the concept of borrowing a vehicle a bit too literally. We appreciate your confidence in B & C Auto Repair during such an unsettling time. It is gratifying to know you feel part of our extended family. We’re always here to help, whether it’s navigating a fuel mishap or any other automotive conundrum. Your endorsement truly fuels our passion for what we do.
