Came in for a used vehicle pre-purchase inspection last Fri. 6/10/22. It's no wonder Bobby and the Olive Auto Center team are approved by AAA. Couldn't be happier with their expertise, knowledge base and overall professionalism. Their pricing is competitive and more than justifies for their quality of work. The team over at Olive Auto Center come highly recommended. They've earned my business and I plan on being a regular customer. Thank you Olive Auto Center!

I was recommended by my boss to have my brakes checked with Bobby Olive Auto Center. A very serious problem with the brakes was detected. I felt very confident in leaving my car to have the service done after I was informed by Bobby about the whole problem and also the risk I was taking with the problem. I am very satisfied with the service of the entire team, for sure if I need something in my car without a doubt I will go to the Olive Auto Center! Great Work Team! Viviana

Bobby and his team at Olive Auto were amazing! We bought a new (used) car and were startled when we realized the brakes and rotors weren't safe as we came down a mountain. Bobby knew right away what the issue was, ordered our parts and had everything finished so fast I couldn't believe it. He is genuine and kind with all the customers and gave us a killer deal. We have already brought him our other car to fix up!

Bobby was wonderful with helping me and my car issues that I was having. He was very clear and knowledgeable of what needed to be done. Whatever I didn't understand he explained so I knew what was going on. He also was able to give me possible estimates on what I may have to pay depending on the severity of the problem. He was also very fast in getting my car back to me fixed and ready to go and kept me fully updated during the process. I would most definitely recommend Olive Auto Center. Great work Bobby & the OAC Team.
