I went to Blue Ribbon believing they were going to be able to find the problem to my 95 Dodge Intrepid and fix it. They did tell me they would be able to find the problem as to why my AC was overheading for 198 dollars, but didn`t tell me that if the part wasn`t available through the dealership that I would have to locate the part, because they didn`t have the time to search for it. Believe me if I would have know ... view morethat I would have gone somewhere else. Very nice people at the counter, but dealing with the people outside that do the work is not pleasant. When going outside to the garage to pick up car, one of the mechanic was very rude to me, when telling him I was looking for my car he said o.k. Put his head down and continued to do some paper work on a car. I stood there for a while, thinking he wasn`t going to help me. I said, should I go around the fence and pick it up. He responded "JUST WAIT A MINUTE, I WILL GET TO IT"! Never will I do business with them again and will tell my friends here at work about what happened. I shouldn`t even give them 1 STAR

If you don`t mind paying the maximum, this place is okay. They gave me an estimate to replace an oxygen sensor for $170.58 ( $83.75+tax for the sensor and $80.55 for labor). I bought a vehicle specific 12 month warrantied sensor for $29.95+tax and it took me less than 15 minutes to install it. Blue Ribbon told me their cost for the sensor was $33 and the "program" said it would take .9 hours to install. It`... view mores only my opinion, but marking up parts 250% and grossly exaggerating the labor is unethical. Their labor estimating program must be geared towards technicians who have difficulty buttoning their shirts. To their credit, they haven`t broken any laws. They have the right to charge whatever they can get away with. Vote with your dollars and take your business elsewhere.

They truly know what service is all about. Very fast. Taking customers late on a Saturday when competitors wouldn`t.

You get a Blue Ribbon for 1st Place &?ˆ¦ You get a Blue Ribbon for 1st Place & Blue Ribbon Automotive lives up to it`s name. They are #1. The best automotive shop in Bakersfield. The owner Mike is one of the nicest people I`ve ever met. He explains things so a normal person, who knows nothing about cars, can understand. I`ve been there twice & there were different girls in the front office each time but... view more they are so friendly & make you feel right at home. Deanna is one of their names & she is just awesome. I think the other girl is Mike`s stepdaughter. She is very sweet. I`ve only lived here for a couple years but I sure wish I would`ve found Blue Ribbon when I first moved here. I was totally ripped off by one of their neighboring competitors. I highly recommend Blue Ribbon to everyone in Bakersfield. Don`t be fooled by any of the neighboring businesses. Blue Ribbon is the Best. Lisa

Great customer service! While ...

Great customer service! While I was waiting for my smog test, I overheard a conversation between between the owner, Mike, and a woman who had taken her car to some other shop andf had a bad experience before coming to Blue Ribbon. Mike answered her concerns about her car what he could and couldn`t do to help her. He gave her clear, easy to undertand infomation and helped to eased her fears. He made her feel comfo... view morertable and she put her trust in Blue Ribbon. I was very impressed and though I was only there for a smog test, there`s no doubt in my mind that I can trust my car to Blue Ribbon for repairs when needed. Also, Deanna was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. They run a great operation at Blue Ribbon Automotive & Smog. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs an automotive specialist they can trust. - Mark
