Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.

San Jose is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and San Jose follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

This is the most honest and fair auto repair company I have ever experienced. Over the past 15 years, we have had 6 different cars serviced ranging from electrical, transmission, engine tuning, headlight replacement, brake repair/replacement and every time the services were reasonably priced and high quality. In a few cases, my dealer said I needed a repair and after they inspected the issue they confirmed the repair was not necessary. These guys are the best!

I started bringing my car to this body shop and had a couple of repairs that went fine at first, but my experience quickly went downhill when I tried to use my warranty. My warranty company wanted to send the part directly to the shop for them to install, but the shop refused to accept it. Instead, they insisted on buying the part themselves and charged me the full dealer price, even though it was clear they bought it elsewhere at a lower cost. When I questioned this, they admitted that they βhad to make money off the part,β which didnβt sit right with me β especially since they wouldnβt provide a receipt for where they purchased it. I also felt pressured because they said Iβd be charged to take my car out if I didnβt agree, leaving me with no real choice at the time. Overall, I found their process unclear, not transparent, and not customer-friendly. I normally like to support small businesses, but I personally would not recommend this shop based on my experience. It didnβt feel like they had my best interest in mind, and Iβd advise anyone considering repairs here to ask detailed questions upfront and make sure everything is clearly written before agreeing to the work.

I've been using B&C Auto for the past two decades because they have proved to be very trustworthy, which is very rare from my experience. They provide excellent customer service (great to work with, they actually listen to my needs & accommodate them, and are willing to explain the issue/repair with no "hard sell"). I highly recommend this gem!

i am very happy with the work B & C did on my vehicle. I highly recommend this shop. Take your vehicles here. They were honest about the repair and kept me informed. They handled the warranty paperwork and guaranteed the repair. Its hard to find an honest shop these days. I knew what needed to be done with my vehicle prior to taking it there. I knew the error code and they diagnosed it exactly. They did not try to do unnecessary repairs. They even told me if the error comes back to bring it in. I am very satisfied with their good timely and honest service. I finally found a shop to keep. Ed Howard San Jose CA
