B&B Auto electric

The owner William was very helpful and knowledgeable about my car’s a/​c problem. Other shops around were charging me double what William charge me. I’m pretty sure the other shops were charging me for unnecessary repairs but not William. He also went above and beyond on helping me with another issue at no cost. I will return and recommend to others.

I went back today and talked to Bill, the store owner. He informed me of some misunderstanding and miscommunication with my mom (which is understandable because my mom’s English is not very good).
The explanations:
1. Regarding the cosmetics: they actually negotiated with my mom and gave her a huge discount for the repair, but in doing so, they were unable to purchase some components for the light to sit properly in the opening.
2. They thought my mom came in just for the cosmetic repair. Although I think they should have checked the entire damaged area and take it for a test drive before returning the car, I appreciate his willingness to help and make sure the car was safe to drive. Bill replaced the strut and charged me just for the part + tax. They also aligned the wheel for free.
3. Bill had the residual spray paint removed from the windshield, no extra cost as well.
Overall, I gave them a 5 star, because I feel like I was heard as a customer and they wanted to fix the problem. I do feel bad that he didn’t ask for labor compensation, but I’m also thankful because I have a lot of expenses from the accident.

Good men with few words but favorable advice and service actions.
My car was banged up and took them for examinations & repair. They provided the detail estimate and advices as though if they were in the customer’s shoes. Appreciate the assistance and help from this shop and its mechanics.

Just got my smog check here. Quick, efficient, and $ 35. :) I didn’t have to wait, friendly service, and all around a great experience. Will come back again for future car issues.

Came here because it’s so close to my work! I called in earlier to ask how much a smog check was, the guy said $ 35. Once I got there, he said it’s gonna be an extra $ 5 for some BS. I forgot what he said I think it was for licensing or whatever but he could have at least told me on the phone and gave me the final price –_​– but an extra $ 5 is whatever’s. So I’ll give this place 4 stars

The guys here are super helpful answered every question I had and made sure I understood everything about my smog check. I will recommend this place to anyone I know. Give them a try and mention Unilocal for a discount. What other smog check place gives a discount… None that I have ever been to. Service was very fast even though they had a lot of cars to work on.

If I can give more than 5 stars, I would! This place is awesome! Mike, Don and Bill are simply the best! They deserve 10 stars on my books!
I’ve been taking my cars to them for at least 10 years now. I have complete trust on them. They take good care of me.
My last visit was a couple days ago where I towed my car to their shop because it would not start. Mike checked all the possible causes and narrowed it down to possible bad fuel pump relay. However, he told me he was able to start the car without replacing anything yet. He said sometimes the fuel pump relay can act up intermittently. He tested my car for one day with the original relay fuel pump and then he went ahead and ordered a new relay and tested it with the new relay on the second day.
When I went to pick up the car, he patiently explained to me that he couldn’t determine the exact cause of the problem because my car can start perfectly fine and put the original relay fuel pump back. He said there will be no charge for his service!
Whoa! All I can say that Mike is honest, trustworthy and honorable! Remind you that he already purchased a new relay fuel pump to be used to test my car and now he had to return it because he wanted to do the right thing!
Thank you Mike for doing what’s right and for always putting your customers first!
B & B Electric didn’t ask me to do this but because I’m grateful to what they have done for me, I decided to volunteer to be used as their reference. If you like to talk to me about my experience with them, feel free to contact me at (818) 659 — 515 seven.

Would of gave the place higher if they had taken my Unilocal check in, which was 10 bucks. They only took 5 bucks off it, which is pretty shady and misguiding.
On the positive, it was cheaper than most places with 5 off — came to 45 for a smog check. Also service was quick, less than 20 minutes.

My family has been going here since I was a kid.30 years now. don always is so helpful. …thanx again

My family has been going to B&B for as long as I can remember. They are a family business of brothers and they will not screw you over. Hard to come by these days right? I remember my mom bringing her car in cuz she thought she needed new breaks. It would have been very easy for them to simply agree and charge her for them… but after a thorough inspection they told her they were still good and had no need just yet for new ones. That’s just one example of many over the years. They may not try to win you over with a bunch of bs like other places do, but they will fix your car, and for a reasonable price. They have loyal customers and there is definitely a reason for that. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Honesty, knowledge, and results at a reasonable price… what more could a girl ask for? :)

B&B Auto Electric is awesome… Don has helped me out with a couple of my cars from smog repair to electrical wiring and recently a bad tail light.
Don works very fast, is straight up and gets the job dont without any BS… the prices are low and Don doesnt take you to the cleaners.
I highly recommend B&B electric

As it is stated in the other reviews, this place is the best! Regular joe’s like me who don’t know all there is about cars have all too frequently been victimized by shady auto repair shops (read as Purrfect Auto in Temple City). Special thanx to Don who helped me with a nagging computer problem on my van when nobody else could figure out the problem. A very friendly and respectable business. I will be back!

I called Kerechuk first to see if they have availability to do a smog check on my old beater. The guy who answered the phone had the best phone manners and customer engagement I have heard in a long time. Unfortunately for me, they didn’t have a guy available until mid-​Feb, so they immediately recommended B & B.
When I called B & B, I wasn’t quite sure about this shop because the person who answered the phone before I arrived wasn’t quite exactly warm like the guy from Kerechuk. However, I came anyways considering it was just a smog check and the cost was fitting after doing some research online. After arriving, I still wasn’t sure what to expect and relying on the Unilocal reviews was a bit hard for me because they didn’t have too many. But still, willing to give them a shot.
So turns out my car OBD didn’t pass the smog test due to an EGR valve issue causing the engine light to come on. He also asked me a few questions as to what may have caused it. When Don explains to me to issue, I honestly was skeptical. But that’s the consumer concern side of me asking myself ‘am I being screwed here?’ He gave me a cost estimate of the repair or diagnostic and possible explanations to the cause. Still skeptical, I hesitantly said that I’ll bring my car back for the repairs.
Coming back the second day, I now understand why people come here. They are a no-​fuss team of brothers. Not big on small talk, but just from observing their little interactions with some of the other customers that are having services done, you can tell they have a loyal customer base. They even have cars waiting in their lot for repairs and other auto service work.
Don explained to me the process and the timeframe and what to expect to reassure me. 3 hours later, my car was done and runs noticeably smoother than before I brought it in. And the engine light is gone. Thanks Don! I would definitely recommend people with car issues to come by. I don’t know the full extent of their services, but I did feel pretty good about having brought my car here and coming back if ever my car is in need of service.

The **3-​M Brothers** (ie, Mosseau Brothers — Bill, Mike & Don) are simply the **BEST**!!!
They are car mechanics that KNOW what they KNOW, and are GREAT at doing what they do know. Just as important, they are **HONEST** and willing to tell you when they come up against a situation where they are **NOT** the best equipped to work on your car.
In a previous review (very lengthy, SORRY about that!), I detailed how Don Mosseau has been simply SUPERLATIVE in his ability (and LOTS of PATIENCE!!!) to keep my 1985 BMW 635 CSi /​E24 (Euro Edition) passing smog check over the past 8 to 10 years and thus street legal and able to be registered. If it wasn’t for Don, I’d probably have been forced to sell my car to another E24 enthusiast who lives outside the reach of California’s smog regulations.
The Mosseaus are great with both American and Japanese cars. Over the years that I’ve taken my 2 Hondas and 1 Toyota to them for various maintenance & repairs, they’ve always done excellent, top-​notch work at very fair and reasonable prices.
I’ve seen Bill do **COMPLETE /​FULL RESTORATIONS** on classic American cars (Chevys & Fords, etc) — 1950’s through 1970’s models. I’m talking about «from the ground up» restorations — chassis, frame, engine, drive-​train, electrical wiring, interior & exterior body work & paint that where the end product was simply **OUTSTANDING**.
Getting back to my ’85 BMW, since I take my Japanese cars to B&B and I know the M-Bro’s and TRUST them, it’s natural that I would also take my Bimmer to them.
What is simply **GREAT** about the Mosseaus is that they **WILL** do the work that they are ABLE to. Recent examples over the past year of work that they did on the BMW was replacing a bad starter, fixing the central door-​locking system (which I KNOW was a MAJOR, pain-​in-​ass time suck — THANKS MUCH Don!).
My BMW is a manual /​5-​speed. A couple of months back, I was having trouble with the clutch. After Bill checked it out, he told me that it was not the clutch per se, but the central hydraulic system which the clutch, the power brakes, and the power steering all ties into. He told me that was something **BEYOND** his experience to do a good job on and said that I should take it to a shop that was a BMW specialist, which I did.
That’s a perfect example of the kind of HONEST, NO-​BS type of people that the Mosseau brothers are.
If you live or work anywhere within a reasonable distance (which I think of as an approximately 5 to 10 mile radius) from their location and are looking for a great. honest, reliable & reasonably priced auto repair place to keep your cars working, you should check these guys out… you **NEED** to check these guys out!

I get my truck smogged here every 2 years and I will keep coming back. The service is great and Don’s knowledge is extensive. They are honest and friendly. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Was looking for a mechanic around the area because my radiator took a dump. Got my car towed here and I am so glad I did. I don’t know what greentea lady was talking about but you can’t really comment on service when you didn’t receive any. Maybe there was an emergency or traffic on the freeway. I on the other hand received prompt service and it was a great deal. I didn’t wait too long and was back on the road to make it home in time for dinner.

I was looking for an auto repair place for my air conditioning. I should have heeded notice to the reviews left on google as reviews left by possible affiliates of B and B electric. Their hours are advertised on saturday at 9 am, I called on a thursday to double check and they said that it was. So i went on a saturday, 9 am rolled around and no one was there, i decided to wait a little longer, and finally at 9:45 am, no one showed up. During those 45 minutes, there were three cars that pulled in to the parking lot and then left because no one from B and B electric. I am a huge stickler for offering prompt service and B and B electric just lost out on 4 customers this past saturday morning.
My suggestion? go to kerechuk on valley and garfield. I opted to go there instead and I can tell you that this is the first time that I even was impressed by a mechanic. Prompt service, great customer service, professionalism, reasonable pricing and they knew exactly what they were doing. I am not only referring all my friends to kerechuk but they deserve a fb posting!

want honest auto mechanics? if you do B & B is the place for you… JR, Mike and Don (smog dude) take care of business… I have been dealing with B & B for years and never had any problems… the honesty will save you a ton of money… I have referred several friends to them and all have been happy campers…
