My car wouldn’t start and I thought it was the battery. Called AAA to check it out. Battery was fine, the technician was very helpful and referred me to Abel’s Auto and Truck Repair. I called the auto repair and spoke with Dan. He was able to take my car and repair same day with full diagnostic. Very reasonable price. I couldn’t be happier with the service we received.

I have a 1996 GEO tracker and I have took it to many mechanics most of them were either overpriced or didnt want to help or didnt even explain what they were doing. Then I met the lovely people are able Auto and truck repair. There is a gentleman named Dan such an amazing mechanic he walked through step by step what I needed and even sent me pictures communicates really well and the prices are actually reasonable I highly recommend this shop to anyone.

I had bad experiences with other mechanics. One guy told me that a small oil leak would cost $1500 to fix in a car over 200k miles. While he was right about the price (rear main seal) he didnt tell me that the leak wasnt bad enough to need fixing, probably even until I was ready to let the car go. Its been over 2 years, and the leak has slowly sealed up on its own. Since that time, I have been seeing Dan at Able Auto and Truck Repair. He has never done anything like this to me. I had a catalytic converter that was periodically setting off the engine light. Instead of saying lets spend the $1300 and do it now he said lets wait and see if it passes smog. If it does, maybe next years catalytic converter will be cheaper and we can do it then. He was right, and it did pass smog. Dan and his crew are knowledgeable, nice, good people. I dont see any problems in the business. They arent out just for money. They have a shuttle going picking up customers and dropping them off. During the 2020 virus they all wore masks, kept keys in bags, anything that would make the customer feel like they were cared for, no matter how worried or unworried the customer was. I this Able Auto and Truck Repair should get a rating very close to 10 out of 10. I told all my family members in town to use them, and I recommend you do too.

Dan and the guys at Able are real class acts. Ive ironically broken down in Bakersfield two years in a row. The second time, I knew exactly who I was going to call.They performed a complete inspection and sent me the results promptly. We discussed the needed repairs and the repairs were performed quickly and expertly.They get an A+ in customer service as well.I highly recommend them.

I was referred to Able Auto by AAA. Brought in my 2000 Dodge pickup that has been having some overheating as well as various other mechanical issues. Received not only the diagnostic for the overheating issues, but a full detailed inspection of the truck was done and a report was emailed along with the condition and recommendations for each item - along with pictures that they took of the items on the report where applicable! Got some bad news back about the truck, but it was to be expected for the age and condition its in. But Dan was great as far as explaining different options, what was probably worth fixing and what wasnt, and they were able to get me up and going. Cant say enough about the great communication, thanks Dan! I have 2 other vehicles and Ill be taking them both to Able Auto from now on!

Our van broken down on highway 5 heading north near Bakersfield at midnight, After spending one night in the van, we were recommended by another AAA auto shop to Able auto repairs. Dan is really professional, friendly, he checked the van and told us the price within a few hours, even though it is bit high for our old van, but it is still worth doing it. No hidden fees, no surprises. We picked our van up two days later, it works great! well worthy it. We love Able Auto Repairs, they have good services, they are honest, professional, helpful, even providing free shuttle services to rental car place. Highly recommenced. Thank you and God bless you All.

My car was towed in, after stopping on the freeway. Dan diagnosed the problem at no charge and let me know what it will cost. I gave him the go ahead and my car was done on time. Not only did he fixed the problem but went one step further to inspect the whole car for free.. Some issues came up which he brought to my attention. I could have taken the car to another mechanic for them to check it or called around for pricing, but his honesty and caring attitude made me give him the green light to fix my car. My car is running very good now and to top it off, I have a couple of years nationwide warranty. Now thats service. I highly recommend this shop. Thank you!!

Highly recommended: excellent & affordable service. My Silverado broke down in the middle of the desert with 600 miles left to get home, and thank goodness AAA towed me to ABLE Auto. Dan and the staff there were courteous, quick and knowledgeable. Within an hour I knew what was wrong, how to fix it and got an accurate estimate. They kept me informed and got me back on the road with no surprise long waits or cost overruns. Thanks to them for getting me back home safe! I highly recommend them.

Took my Stick shift 1987 GM Corvette here, because my engine light was on. And I overheated it bad. They took my car in like it was their own child, and gave me that A1 quality care it needed. I had them put in a remanufactured engine, (old one had 200k miles and severely heat damaged), and when the job was all said and done. My car was ROARINGGGG sounds beautiful. Dan took excellent care of my car and made sure it got the card it needed. Anyone who’s looking to get clapped in a street race.. Beware. I will straight take you to GAPplebee’s in this thing.In conclusion, take your care here if you care about it, because they definitely do. Thanks Able Auto.

I took my 2011 Camry in for an oil pan replacement and new brakes. Dan and his team sent an informative email detailing what needed to be replaced now, what could wait, and what was in good condition - with pictures. Their quote was far below Bill Wright Toyota, too, where I’d usually take my car! I am happy to have found an honest mechanic, and will no longer take my car anywhere else for repairs. I highly recommend Able Auto and Truck Repair!

I have been coming here for many years and they have always done great, HONEST work. I appreciate how work is done right the first time and Dan is extremely personable. The fact that they also give a AAA discount along with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on their work says a lot. I can’t say enough great things about this place, and especially of Dan. Dan cares about your vehicle as well as you as a person.

Not AAA- quality service. My daughters car overheated and AAA towed her car here. However the mechanic did not adequately check the car and totally missed a leaking water pump. He replaced some clamps, and only replaced the thermostat after my husband asked about it point blank. Long story short, we had to get it serviced again after it was towed from Bakersfield to Long Beach. Very stressful.

I was impressed. Ive been in Bakersfield for 5 years and Ive been looking for a good mechanic and auto repair shop. Now i dont know the staff personally, but they were very professional. They even gave a ride home, once the AAA Tow Truck dropped my car off at the shop.Ables would probably come to mind again, if i needed something in the future.

From when I first called in to when I drove away with my repaired truck, I was impressed with Dans professional and honest treatment he gave me. He and/or his workers repaired what was needed in a timely manner. But I really cant say enough about how well Dan treated me as a customer. I can tell hes an honest and hard worker. I will definitely trust him to do the job right with my truck when I visit him again.

These guys are amazing. I was on tour with my band in California when the van wouldnt start, showed up around 2PM on a Friday, with only three hours til closing for the weekend. We needed to be in Sacramento that night, they diagnosed my van with a broken distributer, sourced a replacement in town, and had someone stay late to get us back on the road. We made the show with only 20 minutes to spare. Thanks so much!!!

I have been going to Able auto for a couple years. I had previously tried many places in town, and these guys are my favorite.I take my everyday cars, as well as my classic car to them. I consider them master mechanics. I am kind of the car guy among our friends and contacts, and I tell them about Abel auto knowing theyll be happy with the service. I think theyre awesome.When I had noises coming from the rear end of my classic car and had spent lots of money at another shop, and they couldnt get it after three attempts, I brought it to Abel auto and they got it on the first try, no problem!They get things fixed and dont get carried away on billing the way most car repair shops do. They treat customers as if they were family.I like Dan and he is very down to earth. I have met Mike, his partner and one of the mechanics Rod, who threw a new motor in my old vette and took care of it like it was his own.Its no wonder these guys are the only AAA recommended place in town.I wish I had found these guys earlier!

We were out of state and out of luck, having broken down in Bakersfield with our five kids along, on a big road trip. AAA recommended Able Auto & Truck Repair. I was not disappointed. Dan took care of us! He quickly diagnosed the problem, gave us a fair and honest price estimate, and kept us informed of the progress. We had to stay overnight in a hotel while the work was done. The next day he sent one of his workers over to the hotel to pick me up, so I didnt have to get a taxi. I was very impressed by the whole experience. If I lived in Bakersfield, I would definitely take all my vehicles to Dan, at Able Auto and Truck Repair. Honest, fair, high-quality work! Thanks!!

Review №58

Brought two different cars in, this place over quoted both by thousands of dollars. Claiming its because they are top notch when I asked them to just fix the basic things with economical parts they refused. The service clerk Dan also was a bit of an ass when I was talking to him about the most recent diagnostic. He chuckled when he came on the phone because he thought I was trying to give the receptionist the run around by trying to get to the bottom of what was going on with my car.Bottom line is dont trust these people, they will always aim to overprice and screw you. I recommend Advanced Muffler downtown as a much better alternative. He has prices at least 25% better than this dump.

Review №64

I think most of this reviews are fake. Dont come here because they will let you pay for full report even if you dont need it and just want to fix sample things. I dont know they feel themselves as dealer or what? If your tires are bad they will not gonna test or drive your car because you know they want to you to buy new tires from them. After that, their prices are very expensive. Dont headache yourself find an honest mechanic that helps you not take your packet.

Able Auto & Truck Repair is recommended by AAA so I contacted it when my 1992 Toyota Pickup wouldnt start. AAAs tow service diagnosed the trouble as a bad alternator & dead battery. Able Auto got me back on the road for the cost of a new battery and diagnosis of the alternator as no problems. Being a 90 year old, driving a 23 year old vehicle Able could have charged me for an unneeded new alternator. Kudos to this honest, courteous, terrific repair shop owner.

Review №71

In early 2018 I took my truck to this shop because as the car was on the road, it would shut off. No stalling, just complete shut down. I took it to Abel’s and at first they charged me $135 to diagnose it. But then they called me saying they needed to run an electrical diagnosis, and that was a separate diagnosis fee ($270) in addition to the initial one. I ended up paying $405 in diagnosis alone. I was told it was an electrical problem with the ECU, and this problem also burned out the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor, and both needed to be replaced. This last problem, they said, would cost me $115.19 ($63.31 for coolant and $51.88 for the sensor) because in order to reach this sensor, they needed to empty the coolant, take the sensor out, replace it, and then refill the coolant. I got a warranty on this. In total, for initial diagnosis, electrical diagnosis, and replacing the ECT sensor, they charged me $548.33 (this was with my AAA discount of $50, or else it would have been $589.69). In addition, to (hopefully) get my truck running again, I was quoted $2,600. I asked to be explained in layman’s terms what the problem with the ECU was. I found the explanation confusing, leaving me without really understanding what the problem was.Naturally, I thought this was too steep (as did other mechanic friends of mine), so I decided to bring my truck back home until I could decide what to do. My truck sat on my driveway for a long time, and then I decided to take it to a shop recommended by my neighbor on the East side.His diagnosis fee is $85.00, and the total amount for diagnosis, replacing the ECU, and checking the ECT sensor, including smog was $765. The car runs great and there have been no issues whatsoever. He also indicated to me that not only was my truck’s original ECT sensor completely fine, but the one Abel’s put in my car was not even the right one and was a generic brand that does not fit my car’s requirements. You’d think that for a warranty and the amount of money Abel’s charged me just for replacing this sensor that they’d 1) do their due diligence to make sure the original sensor actually needed replacing, and 2) that they’d use the right sensor and one of good quality.Needless to say, I feel robbed and lied to, the two essential things a mechanic needs from a customer to get their business. I will not be using Abel’s ever again, and I will warn anyone that does give them their business, or is even considering doing so, and I will direct them elsewhere. Finally, I needed my truck’s AC to be recharged and took it to the other shop at noon yesterday. I was seen promptly and quickly. No sneaky business, just honest work, which is something I can confidently say Abel’s is not. Don’t be lied to and robbed by Abel’s, who tell you that things that do not need repairing need repairing. They just siphoned money right out of me and gave me a whole list of other things I should change. In my opinion, their reputation is completely bunk. They overcharge you to cover their overhead and their service is deceptive.My personal recommendation: Stay away. I would give them a zero if I could.

Review №72

If I owned a business this is how I would run it. This is the first automotive repair experience I can honestly say that I did not feel lied to or somehow taken advantage of. It would have been easy to tell me that our vehicle needed major repairs...the sound it was making was terrible. It ended up being a heatshield fastener that failed. They repaired it in less than 24 hours and called me with the good news. The office staff is very friendly and courteous. They even gave us a ride to the rental car office. The thourough diagnostic report they provided was outstanding. They let me know what should be addressed soon and what could wait...even provided detailed justification (and pictures) for the recommendeds they made. If I lived in the Bakersfield area, this would be the only shop I went to.

We are heading across country from florida to california from helping out with hurricanes to helping out the wild fires when we blew a hieli coil (blew a spark plug out by stripping threads on the base of the plug) in an 01 f-150. It is very common and a fix that u basically drill out the whole, rethread it and put in a little sleeve in order to hold the plug again. Its the 3rd cylinder to do it on this engine and i know exactly how much the parts cost. Not sure how long it takes to drill thread and put in sleeve but it takes 15 mins to remove AND replace ignition coil and spark plug.You HAVE to pay $108 just to have them look at your vehicle and that does not fall off once u get the work done threw them like a lot of shops. I stressed our importance of getting it done fast so we can get back on the road and the guy on the phone seemed like it was no prob and we could bring it in after they opened in the morning. It was during the time most shops close down when i called so i understood. I arrived in the morning about 830 and signed and handed keys over. I walked 3/4-a mile to a place i could rest in the a/c and grab a bite to eat. 11 rolled around so i walked back and they had not completed looking at it yet but it was moved into the stall. 1130 came by and i got an estimate for $500. They were charging more than 2x the amount for the coil than the out parts store $117 vs $45 at nappa and carquest. They r charging $280 for the labor, like i said takes 15 min for ignition coil and plug so unless the drilling, threading and screwing sleeve in takes 2 1/2 hours at 100 an hour, most shops hourly, then im unsure y it cost so much. Maybe i got a master mechanic... Come to find out that $108 charge is a scheme. It is a charge that they look over the entire vehicle and let u know what else they recommend u to get done. I did not want the truck looked over just one spark plug whole. Spark plug was also double what it is at auto parts store but its only$8 so what ever. Heres The kicker though. After waiting all this time for them to do this 60 point inspection i sat back down in the waiting room after already waiting 3 hours and hour and half goes by and im wondering whats taking so long. I walked around a bit and noticed the truck way in the back with the hood open. No one was around. Off to lunch. Its a short job to get fixed maybe 1 hour, 1 1/2 max. They spent precious time doing this 100 point inspection figuring out what other ways they could recommend stuff being done instead of working on what i specifically asked them to do and then went to lunch when it came time to start in in the actual work.Im still in the waiting room 5 hours later writing this so who knows if the work is quality yet but at this point i am not satisfied.As we speak a customer just walked in wondering whats taking so long on his car.DO NOT fall for this inspection trickeryUpdate**** another customer just walked in and said her car has something really wrong with it 20 mins after she picked it up from here. Lady at the desk kinda insisted it prob wasnt them cus it started and drove from the back to the front.And old cpl just came in and got charged that inspection charge and the ol lady said we just had that done not to long ago and the lady replied yes everytime it comes in. Thats a disgrace, we take care of our elders where i come from. Not charge them $108 everytime they came in for a boggis inspection. Ill prob be updating this again due to still sitting in waiting room...Update*** i decided to stretch my legs and noticed the truck out front. Had to ask if it was ready. Girl gave me a glare as she said yes. I gave her credit card to pay and signed a cpl things. Seemed like she was hiding the keys from me... Was kinda weird. Then i very nicely said thanks you! She was facing me and did not loses stride in grabbing something off the counter and said nothing back. So i said again. Thanks! And then i got a reply. Urg man. Im not in kansas no more...

Able auto on Fruitvale ave has been doing most of the work on my 1969 Ford Torino GT for years and years including a complete front suspension overhaul, the engine, two different transmissions (the original and one I wanted installed), and the rear end. From fixing a wheel spindle that... I couldnt find ANYWHERE to replace it with to shortening and rebalancing the drive line to customizing my headers to fit the new tranny in, these guys have been helping me every step of the way and they do amazing work! Doesnt matter what you drive, Dan and Mike are simply the best, and I highly recommend giving them a call for little problems or big projects. Ive sent any and all vehicles Ive ever owned their way: a 2000 GMC sonoma 4x4, a few saturns, and a Toyota and everything gets handled right the first time. In 9 years of repeat business and patronage I have never had to take a vehicle back to them because something wasnt done right! In the auto industry, its very hard to find a shop that good, with employees that honest and ethical. I am very lucky I found them!

Are you joking me? AAA approved, they drop us off Friday night after our car dies on the grapevine. No answering machine, hours of business on the door or website. Finally they pickup 8am Monday. Weve since rented a car to complete our drive. Find out their hours 8~5 m-f. Hired another tow company to take it to the Honda dealer that are open 7-7 & 7 days. Unless youre retired &, can wait till they, can work on your vehicle, Id go elsewhere!!
