Happy Camper
A family business where quality and honesty are everyday tools. They have saved me thousands of dollars over dealer costs.

2003 Honda Civic
B & C Auto is a 5 star auto shop. They get the best parts for your car, and the time frame they tell you, is almost exact.
If there is a delay in getting your part, they will let you know. They don’t leave you hanging. If you call or text with a question, your text is answered asap.
Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

They take great care of older cars!
I have a 2003 Honda Civic, and they take care of what ever issue I have. It’s a very friendly atmosphere, and very knowledgable staff. Ray and Cory are honest, and get to the root of the problem, and it gets fixed! They have great mechanics, and very reasonable pricing.

Diesel Experts
It is difficult finding a good diesel mechanic in San Diego County. These guys know their stuff and take the time to explain it. They are not the least expensive, but they do top-notch work.

2013 Duramax WT
B and C is on point. I was going somewhere else to address the issues with my regen. It was back and forth spitballing with several visits. Ray and Cory handled it first shot. I’m never going anywhere else. Very knowledgeable and friendly atmosphere. I’ll give my money to these folks any day! Just going there and talking to them is worth the trip. You should see some of the product they’re putting out. Very impressive work! Thank you B and C!

Overall great experience
This is the second time I have had my 2013 Chevy Silverado HD at B & C Auto Repair. I was told they were the most knowledgeable and trustworthy diesel shop in my area. They proved this beyond a doubt. Their staff is friendly and provides accurate information and valued suggestions. I highly recommend B & C Auto Repair

Leaking truck
Was recommended by another auto shop who didn't work on diesel engines. Was glad B&C Auto was the place. Working with Ray was a great experience. Not only pin pointed what was wrong, but the customer service he provided was excelent and made me feel comfortable. In addition during the test drive he noticed my clutch fan was frozen. I always thought something was wrong but just thought we'll it's a truck. I will be going to this place for all my issues for now on. Great team.

Great service and trustworthy
I have been taking all my vehicles to B&C for years. Cory and Ray do a great job servicing my families cars and my business fleet quickly and I have never had any issues with the work they have preformed. I wouldn't trust my vehicles with anyone else.

They know there stuff!
I took my truck in, Itwas having problems starting every once in a while. Cory came over popped the hood took a vacuum hose off. There’s your problem he stated. Immediately Found the problem and then Ray installed the part and I was on my way. Doesn’t get any better than that! I recommend B&C Automotive Repair to anyone and everyone out there. Honest, Friendly,Trustworthy.
