Took my Ford Edge to have the brakes replaced. They are close to home and I wanted to support local businesses. After the brakes were done, the car started making rattling and squeaking noises. Took the car back to them 3 times and they still could not get it fixed or maybe did NOT want to. It became a waste of time and with frivolous excuses like 'oh it was a spring that was making noise' I got the impression I was being lied to. Took it to a different mechanic and it was the cheap brake pads that were rubbing against the rotor and making noise. I have no problem with a business making money but unethical behavior is unacceptable.

We have known this business for over probably 14+ years. Can all clients be happy...Not! Well, they have taken care of all my cars and trucks stated with my 2007 Jeep, Sons little Chevy Spark, his 1963 VW Bug, My Tacoma, and my son's current 2006 Chevy Silverado and 2019 Honda Civic SI. Regular maintenance is the key to good vehicle health. You neglect your cars and drive them like manure then expect higher mechanic fees. The choice is yours. Maintain your vehicles health. I am Him to grown Beach Barber ExtraOrdinare soon to finally move away from California onto My home State North Carolina. Thank you

I love this shop. Mark took on my car for a simple job, or so he thought. He ended up having to drop the engine to do the job. But bc my car is a 2006 everything went wrong. Things broke, and more parts needed to be ordered. It took more time than anticipated. Mark and his crew worked round the clock to get me my car. Very professional and highly recommended

I would not even give this place one star. We took our car in for a regular transmission maintenance and some shaking. They told us it was the motor mounts and the transmission mounts service the transmission. We paid them $1200. a week after we got the car, the car started jerking and shaking. I told my husband to check the transmission fluid. They never replaced the dipstick. When we took it back to them, they denied that anything was their responsibility at all. We have been going to this place for years and have loved them. They are now under new management and they are TERRIBLE and RUDE

These guys are pretty awesome! Even in 2023 it can be difficult to find a good honest mechanic that wont try to screw you over just because your a chick. They give good referrals for other car services that they don't perform at their shop. I really appreciate them helping me out and squeezing me in on a last minute basis. These guys are the best in Huntington Beach hands down!

We recently took one of our cars to Bear Automotive for some repairs, and we were very pleased with their service.When we had picked up our car, we were impressed by the quality of the work. Our car ran like new again, and we're sure our students will feel confident driving it.Overall, we had an excellent experience with Bear Automotive, and we would highly recommend them to anyone in need of car repairs.

I spent $1,000 for new brakes here not long ago. I was having problems with the brakes so I went back because they were under warranty. I'm a teacher in LA and on vacations I do DoorDash. The rude and dishonest man at the desk said because I drove for DoorDash they considered it a commercial vehicle and would not honor the warranty even though 80% of my miles are driving to LA and back. They didn't mind taking a thousand dollars from an occasional doordash driver when I bought the brakes and they never mentioned that before the job was done even though the owner knew what I did for a living. BOTTOM LINE: THEY LOOK FOR REASONS TO NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTIESService: Brakes

I can not express enough how amazing this place is and how super wonderful Vic is! I have (sadly) had to bring my car and my daughters car in a few times in the past few years. As usual, its always a scary situation when you go to the mechanics. What's wrong, how much will this cost, why is my life like this! All the questions. The first time I brought my car in, I was worried. Vic reassured me they would find the problem and do the best they possibly good. "Sure, sure. That's what every mechanic tells me" and then they overcharge for work that does not need to be done. Imagine my surprise when I walked in to pick up my car and it was LESS than I was quoted! why? Because they didn't try to sell me on something I didn't need! Brought my daughters truck in a few months ago after being WAY over charged and nothing fixed at Pep Boys (I know! I know! Don't judge me!). Again, Vic was amazing. Talked us down from the money ledge we were on by assuring us they would only fix what was wrong. Again, they fixed the issue and didn't price gouge us! Had to bring my car in yesterday. Vic was awesome, called me when the tow truck dropped it off, called me with GOOD news that it was not the $1300 fix I thought it was, but they fixed the issue and it was far less than I anticipated! I appreciate the fact they do not tell you something is wrong just to make money. They fix the issue you are having and that's it! Special shout out to VIC for his amazing customer service! Always super nice, super honest and just an all around amazing guy! I appreciate him so much! Thank you Bear for employing amazing people. And thank you VIC for your amazing honesty, Not a lot of people left like VIC in this world. I am blessed to have found one of the good guys!
