I have brought my car to you0oixv on three occasions and this is the second time you have not charged me for a simple fix.

Took car to have starter replaced and now our brakes are grinding and seizing up.. had no problems with the brakes before they got their hands on it. Do not use their services unless you want other things to need fixed.

I walked in here today after my tire was deflating due to a nail in my tire. The men here made my day. They had no problem helping me at all. I'm still smiling. I am now a customer for life. I can't wait to tell all my friends about their quality service. Thank you Bruce's!!!

I called to make an appointment to have a safety inspection after my car was hit. So very kind and caring. I have found the shop that cares about my car like I do! Take your auto to Bruce's!

Bruce's worked on my brakes. They got the job done on time and at the agreed upon price. Nice to be driving safe again.

My partner and I have taken our vehicles to nearly every car repair shop in the western suburbs, selecting from those with 5-star reviews, with often poor results. The difference you'll receive from Bruce's is professionalism, honesty and expertise we didn't see at the others.
My Subaru was performing poorly and had exhaust issues. When I brought the car to Bruce's they examined the car and called me. The conversation upon their inspection is what sold me - a CLEARLY detailed look at the car and honest explanation that was informed by years of experience.
Nobody likes paying a lot to get their

This is the best mechanic I've ever had in my life. I feel affectionately towards the whole crew. I'm a young woman, and I've had unpleasant experiences with mechanics before- Bruce's whole team is respectful and informative. They always charge me correctly, always call me before doing something that costs anything. Furthermore, just today I was worried about a new used car I bought. Joe walked around, popped the hood, even drove it around the block for me to check it out- even though they were slammed with a totally full lot. Time and time again, these guys have been kind and fair. I really enjoy

I dropped my car off Thursday night because my breaks went out on the way home. I left my keys and info in their drop box. Friday they called with a detailed estimate on the issues. Bruce (I believe) told me the parts would come in the afternoon, so wouldn't be able to complete the work until Saturday by 1pm at close. I went up about an hour before close and they said they were done for the day and the work was taking longer than expected. He also said he thought I said if it wasn't done by noon since I had to go to work, I would be in on Monday. He apologized for the misunderstanding and got his

I've never had such an easy, painless and overall amazing experience at an auto shop before! The employees are helpful and are sure to explain what needs to be done and why, in addition to breaking down the cost for you (which is the most reasonable pricing you'll find!) They were quick and efficient in repairing my car. I truly cannot say enough good things about them and would recommend them to anyone!

So happy I found this mechanic. Not only are they super fair, they work very fast and are just super nice. I know nothing about cars and they always answer all of my questions thoroughly! Super appreciative to have them in Lakewood.

My engine was smoking and they gave me engine coolant for free so that I could safely drive my car to the dealership for repair. Thank you!

Great dependable auto mechanic. Doesn't try to sell you on any extras just lets you know the issues and what needs to be done. Trustworthy company!

My Ford Fusion was making a horrible creaking sound yet two different Ford service shops could not figure out what was wrong and instead "fixed" other things that didn't stop the noise. After seeing numerous posts on Facebook recommending Bruce's, I took my car there. Within 3 hours, they had diagnosed the problem and repaired it, for a modest cost. No more noise, no more worries! From now on, I'll take my car to Bruce's and save time and money, plus I'll know my car is fixed correctly. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and accommodating. I stopped for a transmission flush but they had to special order the fluid. I had to schedule a follow up appointment for the service and, because they weren't able to complete the job during my initial appt, they were willing to squeeze me in based upon my availability.

I can't say enough good things about this place and all the people who work there (extra special props to Bruce himself who proved that some places still value customer service over profit). I moved here from Seattle with my beloved 17 year old Subaru Outback. I didn't have a mechanic and I had no idea where to take my car so I consulted Yelp. With the help of Bruce and his team, I got another three years out of my car. As a woman I always feel like there's a chance I could be screwed over by a mechanic, but I never felt that way here. I trusted that they would do what needed to

I've been coming to Bruce for a while. He is an awesome and honest man. The service you get here from beginning to end, is outstanding. Fast effective and reliable work out of the technicians, they are always busy. They have fleets that come to them all time as well.

GREAT, HONEST service. I've always been a person that took my car to the dealer for service because of the unknown when it comes to mechanics. I was told about Bruce's by a friend, and I can say without a doubt, they are 100% legit.

I have now taken my car and my husband's car to Bruce's several times for repairs and maintenance work, and every time I have been very happy with the work and the customer service.

Each time I have been to the shop, I have been treated with respect and was not talked down to just because I am a woman - something that happens a lot when I visit other car related businesses. They are up front but not pushy, and treat everyone like someone then know.

The work they have done on my vehicles and their quotes for work are always the same or less than what I end up paying. Their prices are

Updated review, since I drive by this place daily, on my drive home after work in a rental car, I noticed my car on the lot. The shop was closed and front windows were down with all doors unlocked!!!!!!!! I am extremely upset!!!!! My car phone charger and other items open to being stolen!!!!! This is my first time as a consumer of their services and I'm extremely upset... I havent gotten any feedback on their progress but if they leave their customers cars wide open for easy accessability to the public I'm not feeling very confident about this one......
