Bob's Garage

I can’t praise Bob highly enough: friendly, honest and great service. I brought in my 24-year old Volvo with a starter issue on a Friday – it was getting worse with every crank. Bob took it in right away and replaced the starter same day. But when I came to collect it the engine started perfectly but then shut itself down. Very worrying as there could have been any number of causes, but Bob worked on it through the weekend and called me first thing Monday. We couldn’t have been more relieved to hear he had fixed the problem by replacing an old corroded part. So happy to drive home after a bit of a scare. Bob is not only an expert but thoroughly honourable. Although he had to put in a lot more hours to get to the bottom of things he charged me exactly the same as he first quoted. And whenever I called up, Bob and his wife couldn’t have been nicer on the phone: patient and accommodating, so different from calling almost any other business. Great to discover someone so reliable in the neighbourhood.

This last weekend my wife, our daughter and I had a long weekend in Carpinteria. We were 8 miles from the AirBnB when I got a battery alert on my car dashboard. We took it to Bob’s Garage and the car died in their lot. Their staff member Meredith was able to call and order the parts needed to fix the car, and offer to have the repairs done on Monday even though they were closed this week. It helped rescue our long weekend and we were able to rent a car nearby. They got the repairs done on Monday earlier than they previously predicted. Wee would like to give Meredith and Bob a shout out for all their help. Would definitely recommend using them.

Bob's Garage was very helpful last year when I had a check engine light on. They fixed a vacuum leak and cleaned the air mass intake. The biggest thing was Bob drove the car over the weekend to build the miles needed to reset the computer to clear up the history. Well Done 👍✅

We got stranded in Carp on a friday night, had the our Jeep towed to Mr. Bob on Monday. Found out my Jeep's ECM (Electronic Control Module) was bad and Jeep doesn't manufacture the part anymore. Miss Virginia went above and beyond in getting us working parts. And also had Mr. Bob repair my transmission (Again Jeep doesn't manufacture the parts anymore, so Miss Virginia did her magic) . Great service and very reasonable prices. Will gladly recommend to anyone.
