It’s been years since I’ve been here, but was in town for an event and needed a brake job. Bruce has retired, but Todd is the man now and I enjoyed doing business with him. Honest, excellent customer service. Prices are good and quality of work is excellent. I may save future maintenance for my next trip to town. I highly recommend these guys. Keep up the good work.
Great place! Very reasonably priced services and repairs. But even better is the knowledge and experience they have. Id pay double just to get things fixed or repaired by them. When they say its fixed, its fixed!
I took my 2003 Chevy Tahoe in for a few deferred maintenance issues. Joe and his team took the time to troubleshoot, clearly explain what they found, and provided recommendations for repair. I am very grateful for their most amazing customer service and patience. Thank you so much for everything. My Chevy drives like shes brand new :)
Have been taking all my vehicles here for years and have recommended them to many friends and family. Its hard to find an auto shop that you can trust, thats why I only take my service needs to The Auto Shop.
Honest with integrity best shop in town.
They are awesome. Fair, honest, polite, fast. You wont be disappointed. We went to few places before that made me never want to go back. This is the place. They could made up a lot of issues with our cars but instead they chose to be honest and we ended up with a bill waaaayyyy smaller than any other place. They are professionals and wont play with your cars nor your wallet.
Was due for regular service and had maintenance light on. Have been going for years to Auto shop. Had always received excellent, kind service. Told new owner that I was expecting the same excellent service to continue as I recommend many people to this shop. Have been assured that the high standards will be maintained.
Great staff.Joey and Todd are always upfront and easy to work with .
The only problem I had was that it took almost 2 and a half days to get all the work done. That put me in somewhat of a bind not having a car.
We have been going to the Auto Shop for years and have never been disappointed. We got a new car and it started having a weird sound at the area of the gas cap door. Honda gave us a quote but we decided we would take it to the Auto Shop instead. We ended up saving money by taking our car to the Auto Shop! Thanks to the guys at the Auto Shop who look out for the customer!!
I called to make an appointment and the shop squeezed me in the same day. I received phone calls with information about my vehicle diagnostics as well as potential problems that might incur an extra price.I had a great experience with this shop and highly recommend others to use this location for their vehicular needs because The Auto Shop provides prompt and friendly services.
I have always had excellent service, honesty, very professional people working at The Auto Shop.
The Auto Shop is my go to place. Honest, Dependable, Knowledgeable, and Courteous are only the beginning of the positive attributes to this business.
The Master Service Tech was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and honest about what he found. You get a lot of value experience and excellent service for an affordable price. Id recommend The Auto Shop to anybody....
This place is legit, they work hard to please and get the job done. Very pleased with the customer service as well as quality of services completed on my car! Camo and his buddy (the doggies) were too dang cute too! Will be back when needed!
Reliable, honest, reasonable
Great service! Took my newly bought used car in with a gas leak.They couldnt find the replacement parts but worked on it for several hours and fixed the problem. 2 months later everything is still good.
No better honest auto repair that I know of. Have used Bruces services for a number of years. He will give one an evaluation that is straightforward. Have recommended him several times on the local Next-door site and responses to my posts are always positive. Bruce, dont let all this stuff go to your head.
Always friendly and fast service. Good prices too
They fixed my 02 Pontiac Grand Prix and made sure it was working right. They charge a fair price and get the job done pretty fast. Would recommend! 5 stars
I have been using the Auto Shop for 8 years after a referral from a friend. I had been bouncing form shop to shop looking for a mechanic that was Humble and Honest... hard to find until my first experience at the Auto Shop.I was a mechanic for several years for a small shop when I was a young man. I can fix most issues but leave the major ones to Bruce. I have found The Auto Shop Honest and Truthful.The Auto Shop has worked on every car I have owned and all my family members. I get quick, accurate quotes for repair. I have never had to bring anything back for the same issue.I will NEVER use anyone else.
Ive first did business with Bruce and The Auto Shop about 25 years ago. Without exception, every experience was positive. When I again purchased a Japanese vehicle I had no hesitation about returning and have found nothing changed. A well run honest repair facility. If you are looking for a good foreign car mechanic you have found the right place.
There are few good shops in Modesto. Heres one!
Ive been using the Auto shop for a number of years now and have absolutely no complaints. Well maybe one, they never have coffee and doughnuts waiting for me when I get there.All kidding aside this is the best auto repair facility Ive ever used. Bruce and Larry are very professional and easy to talk to, they care about every vehicle that leaves their shop. They totally understand customer satisfactionand the value that a returning customer brings. Ive never been unhappy with any of their work and I wont take my vehicles anywhere else. A.A.
Ive been going to The Auto Shop for well over a decade and have always been treated like family. The repairs they do and the routine service is outstanding. Ive recommended friends and they have always thanked me for the recommendation. They will never do anything that is unnecessary and will inform you if there is something that was discovered that may need to be checked out. I highly recommend The Auto Shop if you are looking for quality auto repairs or service.
Bruce and Jan and their team have been my go-to for car help for many years (over 15 years). They give you straight answers and advice on the maintenance of all makes of autos, my whim not theirs. Bruce and his team have kept the cars in top notch running condition and have extended the ownership of each to be a pleasure.I highly recommend these home-town people that have a high quality maintenance team for your autos.
I have been taking all of my vehicles to The Auto Shop for over 20 years. They are the best in town. Amazing customer service.
We tried this place for the 1st time, since they had amazing reviews. We can confirm that their service is outstanding! We took our 2007 car in for a repair. Bruce gave us an idea of what the issue may be but did not guarantee anything until he got a closers look at our car. We were able to schedule an appt for the following week. Today we dropped off our car off first thing in the morning (8am). Bruce kept us up to date along the way as we ran our errands. He also informed us of the concern he had regarding our tires. We returned to the shop to find out that our tires were in really bad condition, bad enough that we could have had a blow out. Bruce advised us not to drive back home in Patterson, and replace them today. The service took until 3pm but it was worth the wait. We will definitely come back for any further issues! We got our tires replaced and aligned. Our car is now riding perfect our issues are now gone. Thanks again Bruce & staff, we appreciate your outstanding service!
Bruce is great. He is honest and caring. Every time I took my truck in for a repair, he was upfront with the cost and what needed to be repaired.Another great feature I enjoy is the online booking. Instead of calling, I can simply book an appointment via the website and take my truck in.The last great service is the automated reminders. I am terrible in keeping track on routine maintenance. The emails are a great way to inform me that a service is due.
The guys at The Auto Shop have been keeping my cars, my kids cars and now my grand kids cars running in top shape for 20 years. Thier work is done quick and professionally complete. They may not be the cheapest but you get more than what you pay for. Honesty and friendliness is what youll get every time.
I have been coming to Bruce and his staff for about 27 years he’s a very honest man. The shop feels a lot like home. not to mention the dog and I share the same name 😁
Good and fast
The Auto Shop definitely deserves a five star rating and let me explain why. First of all they are very honest in all of their dealings. I had my motor mounts and water pump replaced, as well as some other minor repairs. I got a great deal compared to other shops who wanted to sell me things I really didnt need or want. They give you options and explain why certain things have to be done, they really take the time to repair things the right way. Bruce, the owner, doesnt have amateur mechanics working on the vehicles like other shops I have been to. Second reason this shop is five stars is because they are very kind and courteous, even the dog who wanders around the shop and greets you occasionally. They call you when deemed necessary if there are changes or if he can save you money on parts with different ordering options. Bruce and his wife are customer service oriented. They care about the customer not just the money, although money is necessary to fix the car.
I always have a positive experience at the Auto Shop! Very professional team, experienced and trustworthy. Thank you Auto Shop!
I had the best experience with this shop. Will be going to them for all my auto needs
I recommend The Auto Shop for good honest work. Their estimates are reliable and they try to get the work done as soon as possible. They recently replaced the clutch in my Honda and did a great job. Bruce will take the time to answer any questions you might have.
Need work done to your car ?, look no further. Ive been trying to get my AC fixed and after looking online for places nearby with good reviews I came across? The Auto Shop. Went in and got it checked out, they worked really well with my school schedule which was a huge plus for me. After a couple hours of diagnosis and repairs, my car now blows cold air:) highly recommend!
I have received service from Bruce and Larry for several years. I am so pleased that I can have a mechanic that I can trust to give me special service, from taking me home while my car is worked on or letting me play with their dog, and complete work on my car. I would recommend the Auto Shop to anyone who wants consistently good service and friendly recognition.
They are honest people to deal with and, oh yeah, they know how to fix a car.
I deliver parts here frequently and these guys are always the most friendly people on my route. Give them your business!
Our family has been coming here for many years. Bruce was always spot on. I would expect he would have chosen the new owners carefully and so far am confident he made the right choice. Professional, friendly and punctual.
Great bunch of guys Ive known since they opened up their business always a great outcome. Thanks Bruce & Larry. 👍
Been going there for over 20 years, honest, reliable, recommends only what needs to be done not adding on stuff that could be done later or is not really necessary. If something goes wrong they will fix it right. Highly recommend!
My car was fixed quickly and inexpensively
Highly recommended. I have found Bruce to be courteous and honest in his dealings with me and other members of my family. We have been using the Auto Shop for several years with different cars and have not been disappointed.
We have had The Auto Shop repair our vehicles for more than 20 years. Very honest and excellent service. I would highly recommend to anyone!
I want to add my voice to others whom I am sure have received highly conscientious and efficient work this auto shop provides. Sometime about a year ago we were returning from a camping trip when my RAM 1500 suddenly overheated; after a conversation with them I took the truck into The Auto Shop where a complete analysis was preformed and I was provided a very reasonable estimate of repairs. one of the things that was found that had not been expected was a sheared manifold bolt [possibly from time of manufacture] the craftsman doing the work had a very hard time removing the broken bolt however, charged very little more than the original estimate. I will never hesitate to take one of my vehicles to them and would feel completely at ease. I would consider them at The Auto Shop capable efficiently preforming any auto repair they are certified to do. Pastor Jack
I have been a customer of the Auto Shop for many years. They provide excellent service and repair for both of my cars. I share the same last name with Bruce however, unknown if, we are related. The Auto Shop has provided excellent service and advice on maintaining my 1991 Mazda Miata (it still passes smog, at an Independent Smog Testing and Repair Shop).
Professional, courteous, very reasonably priced and timely. Cant say anything bad about The Auto Shop. Ive taken all of my vehicles there for service and maintenance. Wouldnt go anywhere else.And its a family affair- 3 generations of our family have their cars worked on at The Auto Shop.I would suggest them every time!
Bruce is the best mechanic in town, probably in the world even. Fair priced, honest. I can do most of my own maintenance and repair, but when a job is too extensive for me, I only go to the Auto Shop!
I trust the Auto Shop! The service I receive there cannot be beat. They have my vote for the best auto shop in town. I recommended my mother here. That should say how much I trust them!
If you are looking for a cheap mechanic that MAY guess whats wrong with your car and then ...MAYBE... fix it... this is NOT your place.If you want accurate diagnosis, honesty and professional repair at a reasonable price... LOOK NO FURTHERProfessionalism and courtesy from the front counter to the back of the shop.
Very professional... Was honest with me! I didnt need the work that I thought. I was very thankful for his honesty.
When I first moved to Modesto 20 years age, someone recommended the Auto Shop. I have never been disappointed. Bruce is always available for questions and they have always been 100 per cent honest, even telling me once that what I brought the car in for, wasnt needed.
I have been a customer for years. The Auto Shop continues to knock it out of the park on service. My kids now have their own vehicles and take their cars there. The only time we go anywhere else is if its a service thats not on their menu. They are simply the best!
Friendly, Honesty, Integrity and Professional. What more do you need in a Business.
Best Auto Shop in town for decades!! Good, honest work reliably done. Never a doubt about honesty and integrity of estimates and charges. I recommend this shop!
Still the great service for the last 30 years.
You can always tell a great shop (business for that matter) by how they handle problems. Bruce repaired a starter and solenoid for us on our car. The part failed, as parts do sometimes in the first week. Bruce got my car back in and replaced it with a new one that is running perfect. Bruce Little and his team are a 5-Star Shop because they care and make things right for their customers. Thank you Auto Shop for your attention to details and excellent follow through. :-)
Love this auto shop. The owners are sweet, honest and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them to everyone.
Because of the great service, communication and honesty I have received from The Auto Shop over the past 20+ years, this is the only repair shop my husband and I will ever use. Try them. You wont be disappointed.
Bruce and Larry have been taking care of our vehicles for the past 30+ years. I have complete confidence in my travels up and down the state and beyond that my car and truck will get me there and back again. Their insight to diagnosis problems and experience to spot potential problems is why I continue to have my vehicles serviced by The Auto Shop.
The Auto Shop is the BEST! Weve been going to them for many years. They are experienced, honest, reliable and friendly. We highly recommend them for all your automotive needs!
I was visiting from out of town, and my car started making a bad scraping noise. I was worried that something was seriously wrong with my car, and decided to take it in as soon as I could. It turns out that I just had a bunch of tumbleweeds stuck in it! They only charged me $40, checked to make sure my brakes were ok, and got my car back to me quickly. With my level of ignorance about cars (and tumbleweeds, I suppose), they couldve tried to cheat me. While my car didnt need much work, the Auto Shop really struck me as a business with a lot of integrity. Thank you!
I have been going to the Auto shop for about 11 years. They work on my cars as well as my F350 Ford. i prefer to go no where else as I am completely satisfied with there work.
Called to get an air conditioner recharged on an old car early 90s they said it’s not a car they do which is too old but yet they’re google advertisement shows cars 10-15 years older for their google picture weird business weird customer service ...don’t waste your time with this place
The Auto Shop has been my go-to repair shop for my cars for years now. I keep my cars for a long time and put a lot of miles on them. The guys at the Auto Shop take care of me and I can trust them to keep my cars in good working condition.
Wow! work done right the first time! These guys know their trade and went outa their way to do difficult job for a fair price. You can Trust them with your car and wallet... and you can trust them to shoot straight about your options upfront. Dont risk shade trees or franchises... take it to Auto Shop.
Bruce and team are honest,friendly, and reliable. Fair prices,excellent service. They get the work done right.
I called to get a quote for a New battery and installation. After calling several shops including the Cadillac dealership they were by far overpriced. Ive always thought the dealership was the most expensive. But you guys overpriced them by $100.00. To bad because Ive been looking for a New shop to take my vehicles to.
If youre looking for a mechanic that you can trust; know the work will be done correctly the first time; that they stand behind their work, and youll receive good customer service, this is the place to go.
I have used this shop for my cars for years and when I purchased a new car recently I never hesitated to continue with them. Honest, friendly, and competent.
Bruce will listen to you. He will give you an estimate after a diagnosis. The work is done well, and on time. It is a friendly place.
It had been many years since The Auto Shop had serviced my last Ford. But when my current Ford truck approached 60k, I remembered how great the service was at The Auto Shop. Bruce has always been trustworthy, and fair, and a great mechanic. Ive since found out he can service my Prius too. Its great to be back.UPDATE: Its November, 2018, and even though it is a 65 mile drive for us, we will not go for auto service anywhere else. We retired our 2006 Prius with 275K and just had our first service from The Auto Shop for our 2015 Prius with 24K. We know that Bruce and his team will take good care of this one too.
Found The Auto Shop By having My overheated auto towed there by AAA recommendation. Bruce And staff always polite and professional in their work.I use them for all scheduled maintenance and occasional mechanical emergencies.Pricing is always fair. I would recommend them to anyone requiring Automobile service
Extremely knowledge, and genuinely friendly mechanics.
We have done business with the Auto Shop for 30 years and we are still sending our friends to them.Greg Boutte
Fantastic service like normal; Ill continue to have my vehicle serviced here!
Best mechanic in town
Wonderful company to work with! We will be back!
Always courteous, efficient, and extremely competent. The Auto Shop is great.
Great shop and very honest
Honest and fair!
EXCELLENT!!!
Do they do a free diagnostic on the ac to see whats wrong with it!!!???
We always appreciate the honesty and prices at The Auto Shop.
I’ve had nothing but good experiences at The Auto Shop. Let Bruce know “Eli with the green Tahoe” sent you if you end up giving them your business.
Truthful and Honest
Great Shop. excellent !!!!!!!
