Report
Does good work, knowledgeable. Good communication, except for cost related issues. I was charged $75 for an inspection sticker that included a "check over for safety inspection" that surprised me, the labor to install a battery was verbally quoted at "about $25" and the charge was $35, when I asked which battery was going to be installed he told me the brand, not the model, and assured me he never had issues with it. More transparency and mere detailed answers to my questions would have earned you more stars. Edit, thanks For the response and clarifying.

Report
Brought my 2004 Acura TSX to Bobs Motor Workshop and they wouldn't fix my timing chain because my car is modified. I have a short ram intake, a cat-back exhaust, and an aftermarket steering wheel. Appearantly it's a liability. I respect the decision they made but I don't agree with it. Very unsatisfying.

I used to live the next town over from Bob's and have since moved over an hour away and still will travel hat far because Bob's is the only place I trust not to screw me over.

Professional and reliable! I recently had Bob replace a timing belt & water pump on my 2008 Honda Ridgeline while we were away on vacation. Bob sent me e-mail updates while they were working on my vehicle just to keep me in the loop as to how things were progressing. Bob did the job perfectly and didn't try to sell me anything else, like so many other garages do. I sent Bob a text when we got back that I was coming down to pick it up and he said "by the way, I ran it through the car wash for you because it collected so much dust while you were away on vacation". Who does that this day and age and doesn't charge you for it.nobody! I will definitely send people to Bob's and will be going back as well. This place is legit!
