I had a lug bolt issue no other tire company would help me with.
I snapped a star wrench off so I took it to Austin at Bear River Tech.
He not only took care of my issue he wouldn’t charge me for it !
I have since sent friends, in every case he took care of all their issues and was extremely honest, unlike other local mechanics…
This young man has integrity, check hi, out

Grant use to own this wonderful auto repair,so I made an appt. With new owner for 930. Neighbor there told me he never gets in till about 1130. After waiting 25 minutes I called shop left a message if I didn't hear from him very soon I was leaving. I waited than left. Sure even st 1145 he called said a family emergency happened, I asked why didn't he call or txt,esp. After the business next door had txt him at 10 when I was waiting. THAT ISN'T A WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS, esp. After Grant & Peggy worked yrs to make that one of the best places to take your car for honest work.

I needed my window regulator replaced ASAP as it was the day it snowed my window decided to not go back up. He was able to get me in the next day and I got my car back in the afternoon earlier than Grant originally estimated. I had already done a little shopping around and the price was reasonable in comparison to some of the other places I considered. I decided to go with Bear River Auto Tech due to convenience and being able to get it done that same day, and I was very pleased with everything.

I have been a customer of Bear River Auto Tech ever since I moved to the area 18 years ago! I saw a coupon in the local paper for an oil change and was so impressed by Grant and Peg that I continued to bring my cars to them. They were, and continue to be, honest, professional and trustworthy. It is so nice to feel complete trust when it comes to car maintenance and repairs! Oh, and you won't find nicer people.....

We are very pleased with our experiences with Bear River Auto Tech Inc. The owner Grant is trustworthy and highly skilled. His business practices are excellent leaving us always feeling we received the best possible service.
In years past he has worked on my husbands older cars and was always able to solve problems that other mechanics were unable to repair.
I would highly recommend Bear River Auto Tech for all your cars needs. Their customer service is genuine. Their work is high quality, and his repairs are never overpriced.

Trust and reliability describes Bear River as they provide what most businesses fail to provide and that is customer service. Reasonable prices, work is excellent, and my vehicle has always been ready as promised. Always pleased that Bear River provides me with a quote of the repairs before he begins work. Highly recommended.

I discovered Bear River Auto Tech about six months after I had moved here (three years ago). Prior to that, I had continued to drive to the bay area for servicing my vehicle because I had a mechanic I could trust, a mechanic with integrity. I thought he was one-of-a-kind. Then, my daughter recommended I go see Grant. I was thrilled to find another mechanic of the utmost integrity!! I am confident when I ask for a safety check that my vehicle is running as it should. I am confident when I ask Grant to trouble-shoot a concern that I am not given a costly list of "fixes" to the problem, unless they
