Excellent service and people
B & C has been in business for more than 52 years, owned by the same family. To me, that speaks volumes. They care, not only about the business, but also each other and it shows by how they dealt with me. When I went in to pick up my truck, Cory was helping me get taken care of when his dad walked in and greeted him with " Good morning, son." It was very emotional for me to hear that and I feel blessed to witness that caring and love. Semper Fi!
Cory L. from B & C Auto Repair responded on 10/16/2025 09:30 AM

We greatly appreciate your kind words about B & C Auto Repair! It's heartwarming to see that our family values resonate with our customers. 💙 Watching a father greet his son at work adds a touch of warmth that sometimes feels like a scene from a movie, doesn’t it? We strive to create an environment where both our customers and team feel valued. Your reflection on our family atmosphere certainly brightened our day! If you ever have any auto needs, know that we’re here, ready to provide that same care and attention. 🚗💨

Another great service at B & C !
Scheduled service completed without any problems. They identified the front brakes is needing replaced and did so promptly. Several other areas were noted to watch and could wait to be addressed in the future.
Cory L. from B & C Auto Repair responded on 10/14/2025 09:30 AM

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! 🚗 It sounds like our team was on the ball—addressing those front brakes like pros while also giving you a heads-up on future maintenance. It's always nice to know there’s a game plan for your vehicle. If only our cars could take the day off and let us drive them for a change! 😉 Safe travels, and we look forward to keeping your ride in top shape!

Excellent service.
B and C auto, is a family owned and run business. Ray and Cory will answer any and all questions, clear, and you never feel hurried. The Service Tech’s are amazing. I have never had a “go back”, where something wasn’t fixed correctly. They back their work, and from Ray and Cory, to the girls in the office, and the Automotive tech’s, they all work together to get the job done, the first time.
Cory L. from B & C Auto Repair responded on 10/14/2025 09:30 AM

Overpriced and Rude
I had my car towed to B&C because I thought my starter wasn’t working. It was about closing time and Ray had a quick look at it and found it was the battery not the starter. He wanted to charge me $550 for a new battery and installation. I felt like I was being ripped off, so I ended up having AAA do it for more than HALF the price. They also wanted to charge me $75 for simply diagnosing the situation which I didn’t agree to. They told me rudely to get the vehicle off the property. Needless to say I won’t be going back there. Overpriced!
