What clients say about Bandon Beach Auto in Bandon (OR)
Jim is really absolutely a fine gem . He’s a great mechanic and knows what’s up!
We’ve taken 3 vehicles to him over the past 5 years and he has always been fair and professional in his communications and pricing . We are grateful to keep coming back to someone who knows what they are doing . We will drive across country to come to Jim and we do!
We were 2 1/2 hours away from home when the starter went out in our Honda Pilot. AAA only allowed us 100 miles for a tow, and we were prepared to spend the additional $400 on a tow back to grants pass, but with six of us it complicated the matter as we all couldn't all ride in the wrecker, which meant some of us had to stay behind over the weekend. A pastor friend called Tim, who went out of his way to accept our vehicle on a Saturday (not a business day). Our pastor friend then introduced us to a family that lent us their van to get home that same Saturday, and Tim had our starter replaced by Tuesday.
So grateful that Tim cared enough to go out of his way to help us in a difficult situation, and also grateful to spend $400 on a repair rather then a wrecker fee.
Highly recommend Bandon Beach Auto. Tim is a one man show, but he's "The man!"
Staying the night in Bandon, my car showed several "warning" lights when started next morning. I phoned the Honda shop in my area, (over 3 hours away), told to check into Coos Bay Honda. Uncomfortable with that I googled and found Jim at Bandon Beach Auto. Map Quested and showed up with out calling 1st. Jim was polite, gracious & listened to the issue. He immediately knew what to do & took the time to remedy it! Highly recommend this shop & thanks Jim, made it home without further issues!! ?
Jim is amazing and super knowledgeable. Long time mechanic very trustworthy. We are blessed to have him in Bandon. He takes care of us and all of our friends - I don't know how you do it Jim but glad that you do. Thank you!!!!
I was in Bandon on vacation. I had my brakes replaced right before the trip. I was hearing grinding noises when I stepped on the brakes or when I was backing up. I called Beach Auto and he was able to fit me into his schedule the same day. He only had to drive it for about 20 feet when he figured out the issue. Ended up my mechanic at home forgot to put in one of the caliber pins on my brakes. He was able to replace the pin and it fixed all of the problems. Charged me basically nothing, was super friendly, had had quick and great service. If you ever need any mechanic work done on Bandon, call Beach Auto.
We were in the middle of a road trip and needed some work during our stay in Bandon. Jim was very accommodating , friendly, and got my van back in shape for the rest of our trip. Our trip to the mechanic will be remembered as a positive memory during our stay. Definitely recommend, thanks Jim!
Figured out what was wrong with our Subaru right away. Saved us so much time and money, very knowledgeable and kind. I would HIGHLY recommend just for how good of a person and honest he was :)
I had a bad radiator, Jim ordered a new one and had it installed in my car the same day I brought it into his shop. I couldn’t be happier with the service.
We had a breakdown while on a trip and they were able to help us quickly. Great friendly service and a very experienced mechanic. Thank you Bandon Beach Auto!
Worried that the squealing belt on the truck might have been more than just that before the long drive back to Colorado, NAPA Auto parts recommended (and called/coordinated) with Bandon Beach Auto (Thanks, NAPA guy!). Jim basically dropped what he was doing to look at the truck and fix it right up at a ridiculously fair price - all within a span of 90 minutes from contacting him! He and his wife are the SWEETEST. Would STRONGLY recommend their shop for any auto repair needs!
Jim is AWESOME! We broke down Saturday night in our RV and spent the night in a parking lot thinking the trip was over since nobody would see us let alone get us in till mid week. Nobody answered calls or worked on RVs.Called and left Jim a message and he called back early Sunday morning! Even drove to coos bay to get us parts and had us out of town by 2! All that and the bill was cheaper than I expected to pay on a normal business day! It was a blessing to find Bandon Beach Auto, thanks again Jim and Marshawn!
Traveling through town and my car developed a knocking noise. Bandon Beach Auto was able to take a look right away, put my car up on the lift, spotted the problem, and had me fixed up in no time. Probably saved me from a much worse mechanical failure had I not brought it in. Do your car a favor and visit this spot!
Jim is honest and efficient. We had a serious issue with our vehicle. Called him; brought it in; went for a walk and when we were back he was finishing up. We were expecting to pay for emergency service fees and blow our vacay budget on the repairs. Thought we would have extend our stay. He was so generous, honest and fast. We got great service; met a nice man; and didn't pay outrageous fees. He made a serious concern into a minor delay. I am forever grateful.
I don't usually write reviews, but I had to let everyone know about this amazing shop. I was passing through town when a major part on my car failed (the transfer case for my AWD). Every other place in town was closed since it was a Friday, but not only was Jim open, he turned out to be exactly who I needed. He has many years of experience and knew right away what was wrong and what needed to be done. He ordered the part and, even though it wouldn't arrive until the next day (Saturday morning), he spent his Friday night doing as much work as he could until the part arrived. When it came in, he fixed my car and had it done by lunchtime. What would have taken a week or more, even in a big city, Jim got done in one day and did it with quality and expertise that I don't think could have been matched by many, even in a big city. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you so much, Jim!
By the way, make sure you go to Bandon Beach Auto, not Bandon Auto Repair.
Jim is a very good mechanic, he took care of our wheel bearings in a very short time. I will continue to take our vehicles to him. His shop rate is better than anyone in town.
Jim is an absolutely amazing mechanic. He knows his stuff and I absolutely trust his opinion. I am so glad I found a great mechanic, and I highly recommend him to friends and family.
Jim was super helpful! He was very straight forward and told me exactly what was wrong. I do most of my own car work, but it's nice to know there's someone I can trust for those jobs I can't do.
