In the 80s they offered computer classes to teach other shops engine computer diagnostics systems and ABS brake systems. In 1997 Ray took over for his Dad. Now he is training his son in the family business.

Diesel Experts
It is difficult finding a good diesel mechanic in San Diego County. These guys know their stuff and take the time to explain it. They are not the least expensive, but they do top-notch work.

2013 Duramax WT
B and C is on point. I was going somewhere else to address the issues with my regen. It was back and forth spitballing with several visits. Ray and Cory handled it first shot. I’m never going anywhere else. Very knowledgeable and friendly atmosphere. I’ll give my money to these folks any day! Just going there and talking to them is worth the trip. You should see some of the product they’re putting out. Very impressive work! Thank you B and C!

Overall great experience
This is the second time I have had my 2013 Chevy Silverado HD at B & C Auto Repair. I was told they were the most knowledgeable and trustworthy diesel shop in my area. They proved this beyond a doubt. Their staff is friendly and provides accurate information and valued suggestions. I highly recommend B & C Auto Repair

Leaking truck
Was recommended by another auto shop who didn't work on diesel engines. Was glad B&C Auto was the place. Working with Ray was a great experience. Not only pin pointed what was wrong, but the customer service he provided was excelent and made me feel comfortable. In addition during the test drive he noticed my clutch fan was frozen. I always thought something was wrong but just thought we'll it's a truck. I will be going to this place for all my issues for now on. Great team.

They know there stuff!
I took my truck in, Itwas having problems starting every once in a while. Cory came over popped the hood took a vacuum hose off. There’s your problem he stated. Immediately Found the problem and then Ray installed the part and I was on my way. Doesn’t get any better than that! I recommend B&C Automotive Repair to anyone and everyone out there. Honest, Friendly,Trustworthy.

BC Auto Repair is the Best!
Took my 98 Jeep Wrangler fto BC for new shocks. Ray and his team were excellent. Clear communication, fair pricing, and I had my Jeep back on the same day!
