Bob’s Tire & Auto Center

I took my car there because my transmission was shifting hard and making noise. $ 1,800 later and they never even looked at the transmission. They said they took it for a test drive around the block and everything was fine. I finally took it to another place and had the transmission rebuilt.

I was referred to Bob’s by All Pro Towing when I came to the Metroplex a couple of years ago. All positive experiences so far. I have an old car so about once a year I have Bob’s replace parts. I have found them to be honest and forthright with me. They are second only to my mechanic up north. Sure it costs money to keep the old car on the road, but at least I know I can believe what they are telling me. They will continue to be my mechanics.

I have been taking my car to Bob’s for years. They have always been honest and wonderful to deal with.
My first trip to Bob’s was when I blew a head gasket down the road from the shop. They had it fixed quickly and the price was extremely reasonable especially considering the amount of labor that it takes to fix a blown head gasket. Since then I have been back for all my maintenance. They have taken care of everything from replacing my alternator to replacing bulbs and routine oil changes.
I recommend them for honest estimates and trust the quality of their work 110%.

I’ve been going to Bob’s Auto for 12 years. They have worked on and serviced a total of five of my vehicles. This is an honest place. Where else can you walk in and find the owner standing behind the counter? And his partner, Mike has been working there for many years. A no frills, no BS place. Overall, I have been satisfied with Bob’s. Are they perfect? No, but show me one mechanic shop that is, and I’ll go there. I will say this… my husband had a Dodge that nobody could diagnose correctly, and Bob’s fixed it. Nuff said.

So I went to Bob’s based on the competitive pricing they had on tires. After calling around, they offered a better rated tire and beat the price from Discount Tire, NTB and other places. If all you need is tires, I recommend Bob’s. It’s not fancy, the guy behind the desk won’t waste a smile on you, and there is no comfy waiting room, but the tires are good and cheap.
For anything else, though, BEWARE. I figured it would be easy enough for them to change the burned out bulb in my front turn signal while they had the car in for new tires. I know from the parts store it’s a $ 1.50 part and about 5 – 10 minutes max time to do it. Well… I’ll say this and shut up: they charged me $ 3.60 for the bulb and $ 56 (!!!) to install it.
Lesson learned.
Estimates they provided for other work the car «needs» were also significantly higher than other reputable mechanic shops in the area.
