This is my new spot. There's a reason that when you call to make an appointment, you're going to have to wait a little bit before they can get your car in.

When you find a good mechanic, you KEEP THEM! This is one of those places that won't rip you off. I had a support joint on my drive shaft break, dropping my drive shaft while on the freeway. Had it taken there and in a few hours and only about $120, the replaced the joint, put it all back together and I was on my way.

I'm a backyard mechanic since I was a kid and can easily spot good shops when I see them. Shane is the real deal. Friendly, professional and honest. I have no trouble highly recommending him.

These guys are honest, quick and convenient. I've made several trips here in the last year and it's always a pleasant experience. I appreciate the open and honest communication about all the options I have to fix my vehicle.

I will definitely be going here for all my automotive needs for now on. I was expecting to pay for a new air conditioner compressor, but was told I only needed new belts, saving me $800. Thanks George and Shane for being honest businessmen that I can trust!

Very honest and friendly staff. Didn’t try and upsell me just addressed my issue and had me out the door. Will be bringing my car here if anything else needs to be looked at.

Although I’ve never gotten any service or work from these guys—every time I call them—they are willing to share their knowledge and expertise. It’s a busy shop for a reason, and Bakersfield is lucky to have such trust worthy business owners in automotive repair!

Honest and respectable! I'm not usually one to post reviews but I just had the most pleasant experience at this company that I had too. The people are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are fair and they dont have sneaky fees. Friends, if you need to take your vehicle for work, advice or what not this is the place to do it.

This shop replaced the water pump on my Buick. The car was sounding strange when we picked it up. They looked it over, found the issue and corrected it. They are honest and took care of us. We chose this shop based on reviews and felt it important that we contribute to those reviews. Thank you to this crew!

I can count the number of business I actually trust on one hand. Fruitvale automotive is on that list. Their staff are great, the prices reasonable, and they've always given me a straight answer. I just had the girlfriend's Kia worked on and I'm scheduled for Monday to have them look at my trucks oil leak. Just make an appointment because they're still is in high demand

Not one to take my car to a shop but now that I’m disabled I don’t have a choice, ac quit working took it in and figured it was going to be a pricey job. Turns out it was a $2 fuse, they checked my fluids and made sure everything was good before leaving. Most places would’ve said it was some big job and got their money because they know I can’t crawl around and inspect but this place is honest and respectable.

Very honest and reliable! Glad I went to them. Took my car to get checked for one thing.. turns out that wasn’t the problem and I had a bigger issue on my hands. The owner handled the situation very honestly and made me feel at ease! This will definitely be my go-to shop in the future. Thank you Fruitvale Automotive!!
