Our story
A-1 Automotive has been fixing cars for Bakersfield drivers who want a straight answer and a fair price. Under new management, the shop runs on the same idea that earned it loyal customers in the first place: explain the problem in plain language, do the work right, and treat people with respect.
Whether you're in for a state smog check or a repair that's been nagging at you, our team walks through what's on the bill before you pay it. No pressure, no guessing games, just honest work from mechanics who know their way around your engine.
We've built our reputation one car at a time, and it shows in the way customers come back and send their friends our way.
What customers say
“I got a smog check here and they were fast and reasonably priced. I did call ahead, but I probably didn't need to. They also offered to explain anything on the bill I didn't get. I will be going here in the future.”
“The owner and his employees treated me with much respect and care. The problem with my vehicle was explained to me where I could understand. My vehicle was fixed and I was back on the road in no time! I highly recommend.”
“One of the best and honest mechanics I have found in Bakersfield and I will keep continuing to go there for any auto repairs.”
