Bob’s Automotive SVC Of Sunrise, Inc.

Nobody trusts an auto mechanic. We all know that feeling when we bring our vehicle to the shop. That feeling that you’re going to pay through the nose and possibly hear that you’re going to need additional work on the car (when is a lot of cases, the suggested work is not necessary). I have been bringing my car to Bob’s for any work that I cannot do myself for the better part of three years (take into consideration that I’ve only been living in Florida for a little over three years!) and I have come to find out that they not only do good work, but they will not try to sell you a service that you don’t need. That’s integrity, and integrity is not something easily found in the world of auto mechanics. Got a problem with your car, you don’t have to look very far. Bob’s is the place to go!

Best reliable service. Good people. Took my car in for oil change and it was back earlier than promised time

*Warning* their ad says $ 28.95 for a tune up was quoted $ 250. Ad says break combo $ 85 was quoted $ 240. I have posted a photo of the ad as reference. This seems like the old trick to post good prices for service to get you in the door then hit you with 50−100% higher price.

Complete waste of time with these guys. My car sat there for 5 days only to get a call that they could not fix it. This is after they told me they were very familiar with the vehicle. I would not recommend these guys to my worst enemy.

I had my oil changed there about 3months ago and had a routine tune up. Needless to say when I brought my truck to another shop for my next oil change I found out that’s bobs auto had stripped my oil drain plug and ruined it. Also the apparently didn’t notice I had a massive vacumn leak in my egr and PVC valve… Their incompetence cost me about 500 bucks. Be very careful of going there, cheap is not always better. I would rather push my truck than bring it back to bobs…

This place is fair and honest. I’ve been conning here for the better part of 5 years. They always take care of me. John behind the counter is a great guy. If you plan on coming in on Saturday wake up early because there will be a line outside before they even open.

A good mechanic is hard to find and an honest mechanic is even harder to find. If you’re sick of chain chop shops like Pepboys and Tire Kingdom where they lie to you first and then overcharge you for the pleasure, I highly recommend Bob’s. We have been taking our cars here for years and years and have always been pleased with the staff and service.
All work is first come, first serve. No appointments. While some may find this annoying, I actually think it’s pretty fair. I recommend showing up early in the morning before they open (8 on weekdays, 7 on weekends) or while the mechanics are at lunch (before 1:30pm), to be one of the first in line. You might have to wait in a line, but it’s worth it to get in and out quickly. Also, you can always call ahead and get an idea if they’re busy or not and it’s worth making the trip.
The place is clean and well-​maintained. Prices for service are reasonable and they complete the work quickly. No mechanics lounging around, finding other «problems» with your car — they’re just fast and efficient. The mechanics are honest and will always come out and keep you updated on the work they’re doing. Further proof that they’re good people? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve taken my car in for an oil change or a minor issue, only to be told that I didn’t need the oil change, or that the issue was so minor, there’s no charge. Since when does an auto shop do something like that? It’s integrity like that that keeps people coming back. The real gem of this place is John behind the counter. He’s such a great guy, always has a smile, and his memory for you and your car is nothing short of amazing.
This place has a lot of return customers for a reason, and you’ll understand if you go. To sum it up: I wouldn’t trust my car to anyone else.

I am a fair shade tree mechanic; it’s rare that I will take any of my vehicles to a repair shop. I also know when I am getting ripped off. There are 3 primary reasons for this too many shops are un-​trust worthy, too many shops are not competent enough to actually get paid and the cost of any shop is expensive these days. However there are times when the situation dictates that a visit to a shop is in order. Such was the case before a resent visit to Bob’s Automotive Service. On a recommendation from a friend I called Bob’s in the morning and was told all work is done on a first come first serve basis. I arrived at Bob’s and was greeted with what I thought was a clean, professional shop. They began work on my car after about a 15 minute wait and the work was completed in about 2 hours. In the mean time the place got very busy, it was obvious to me the many were return customers. The guys working behind the counter were friendly and chatted with customers as they worked. Return customers is always a good sign. The work on my car was completed and off I went. A few days later an elderly lady asked me if I knew of a shop she could take her car for an oil change and tune-​up, I recommended Bob’s Automotive Service. A few days later my neighbor came up to thank me for my advice. She told me that not only did her oil change cost less than what she normally paid, she said that Bob’s told her she didn’t need the tune-​up. This saved her quite a few dollars, but at the same time cost the shop a few dollars also. In my book turning down unneeded work that a customer actually asks for is a good judge of a shops integrity.
I highly recommend Bob’s Automotive Service for competent work, honesty and fair pricing.
