Love this place. They changed my sensors and the rear brakes. It's hard to find a great mechanic that will not take advantage of their customers.
Thank you Tom.

Just a returning customer letting everyone know how great of a shop this place is! Taken my Corolla here for pretty much everything, from oil changes to major issues because I know I can trust Mike and the rest of the team here. I've never walked out unsatisfied or over budget, and they always let you know your best options, and tell it exactly like it is.

That's where you go for a high-quality alignment.. performed by people who know what they're doing... those who are complacent of voter fraud should have their voting rights revoked.

My wife has been taking her Jeep here and loves the service. They have taken care of any service she needs. Mike is a stand up guy and always explains what's being done in detail. Prices are reasonable and service is excellent. Benders is our go-to shop!

I have had them fix a couple cars for me. I recently purchased a car for my daughter and Mike at Benders, looked a couple over before giving me the green light to purchase one.
They are honest and if you're a woman, you should bring your car here.

I was recommended to come here one time in the past when my brakes on my 2018 accord were making l funny noises... the mechanic Mike checked it and told me this was an issue that would be covered under warranty.. my first thought was this place is legit and not like other shops that lie to get your money.. long story short I went back to the dealer and was charged $0 by both parties .. the second time I needed regular maintenance and a new air filter.. my first thought was to call Honda dealer .. again it was going to be around $200 for both oil change and air filter.. I called benders and got

RUDE! I came in with an appointment at 1:00 for a steering alignment. I walk up to the office and I am about to enter, and this little lady tells me "let's go outside" I tell her about my 1:00 PM appointment and she says "we don't have any appointments at 1:00, no one is here that can do alignments" then she says "leave your truck here, we will call you in a few hours" I spoke to Mike yesterday, he said to come in at 1:00 and I can just wait because it will only take 30 minutes. He was out to lunch at 1:00 so I waited in the parking lot. Next a little old man with a severe case of small man's complex

Tom, Mike and all the mechanics are super friendly and honest!
I always take my vehicles to them because I know that they will fix my issues and the prices are always reasonable! I highly recommend them for any vehicle issues you may have. I send all my friends and family to them because I know they will be taken care of! If I could, I would give them 10 STARS!! :-)

I always went to a place called Brake Masters in Pomona for an alignment because that's what America's Tire Company would suggest. I went back to America's Tire Company about 7 months after getting a new tires and an alignment and there were large holes and slits throughout all of my tires because the alignment didn't do anything since my cambers were so bad. I was shocked, I drive so far for work everyday and the fact that nothing happen to me is a blessing. The alignment company did not tell me that my cambers needed to be replaced (probably because they were terrible or

Benders is the best!! If I could give them 10 stars I would!! I am from outta state and was looking to purchase a used lexus. The first one I brought to them they gave me all the details on the things that were wrong with it, took the time to explain what was wrong and what to look for. Took it back to the dealership and he just kinda shrugged his shoulders and acted like he didn't know of any of the problems. So I found another one I really liked brought it to Benders to have it checked out. I love the level of service they provided and felt like I was treated like family!! I wish all auto

We were new to the area and had trouble finding a reliable shop. My husband's 14 year old car needed some work and we were dreading the cost. Tom was able to fix it at a minimal cost and it's still running great 2 years later. Then the dealership where we had purchased our new car told us we were in need of several major services totaling $700. We went to Tom for a second opinion and he confirmed that most of what they quoted was unnecessary and completed what needed to be done for 1/2 the cost. We really appreciate the honest work Bender's does.

Benders is AWESOME!!!I am a poor girl -but i love my hotrod!!!My '74 Nova is my daily driver,and the crew at Benders has kept us on the road for 3+yrs now.I trust them implicitly.This is the only place i take my big girl-even just for an oil change.Mike totally takes care of us every time .He keeps me up to date with what's going on - not only with any immediate repairs - but with what I may need to think about doing in the future - all with no pressure.The owner Tom, has even made follow up calls after we've visited,just to check my satisfaction with the job.He doesn't need
