Bob's Automotive Inc in
Ridgefield (WA)

Pretty good first experience. Had a battery discharge on my car. Bob ran all the tests and fixed all grounds. So far so good. Fast work on the oil change as well.

Very pleased with the professional and knowledgeable teammates, my auto was done in a mannerly time as promised..

As always Bobs Automotive did a great job. The new owner is following after a legend in Ridgefield and seems to be continuing what Bob started 35 years ago. They definitely strive for customer satisfaction.

I’ve been bringing all of my cars to Bob’s Automotive for many years now—four vehicles total between my work rig, my wife’s car, and our two daughters’ cars. I’ve trusted them with everything from routine maintenance to more involved repairs, and they’ve always done solid, honest work. They’re reliable, fair, and stand behind what they do. I wouldn’t take our vehicles anywhere else.

I trust Bob to do a good job and offer me the most cost effective solution for my vehicle. Highly recommended!

Bob was quick and efficient! Price was perfect. I recommend his shop to anyone!

Bob’s automotive always does great work at a fair price. I’ve used him on several occasions and will continue to do so if I need to in the future. I’ll highly recommend Bob. He and his employees know the automotive repair industry.

Brought our husbands vehicle in the Friday before Labor Day weekend and Bob was able to fix it and it was complete in a couple hours. Since it didn’t require new parts he didn’t charge us! Thank you so much Bob to you and your team!!!

There’s nothing better than having a trusted mechanic right in our hometown. Service is great and honest. Thanks for rescuing my Dad’s shaver from his car seat 😆

Took my son’s car for diagnostics and repair. With everything that is wrong with the car, Bob advised us to not throw good money away and get a new car. He could have advised us to repair but was honest about it. I appreciate that!

I just had another great experience at Bob's Automotive. I took my 2006 Scion xB to an a different automotive shop (not Bob's) that was nearby an appointment and figured I could get a straightforward evacuate and recharge. Within 15 minutes (that fast?), I was told that the compressor was seizing up even though there had been no noise and the A/C was blowing cool but not cold. I was quoted $3400 to replace most of the A/C components. Although in very good shape, the vehicle's sale value alone wouldn't even come close to that. I took it to Bob's for a second opinion, thank God. The technician did a performance and leak test. Nothing was discovered beyond normal wear and tear. The A/C service cost me a very reasonable bill a little over $200. This is an honest, clean, and well-run shop that has been a staple in Ridgefield for years. Do yourself a favor and bring your car to Bob's Automotive first. They're fair, and above all, honest!

I took my truck in to get the rotors and bearings fixed and had it back the next day, bob was pleasant to interact with, straight to the point asking for details about the vehicle and gave constructive advice on an issue that was a quick fix instead of trying to profit off of it. Will come again.

Bob is such a a good and caring person. He is so flexible and easy to do business with. Fair prices, great work. Customer for life ☺️

Dropped my vehicle off after it was having trouble starting sometimes and a weird knock started. They ran a diagnostic for me and owner told me it was bad news. Explained what was wrong with it, how much the repair would be, and told me unfortunately it just wasn't going to be worth the price to fix it. He was very apologetic that it was bad news, and didn't charge me for the diagnostic.

Bob's is our trusted family automotive repair shop. From routine oil changes to complex repairs and classic car upkeep, Bob and his team have kept our vehicles in top-notch shape. I highly recommend Bob's Automotive. Thanks Bob!

Was so pleased with Bob's! I love 100 miles plus away up in Bremerton driving down today to a work gig, I realize I had a wheel bearing issue I needed prompt repair! I googled wheel bearing repair near Ridgefield Bob's Automotive pop right up. I was able to arrange a co-worker to pick me up and drop me back off. Imagine my joy when the vehicle was ready by the time I got there mid afternoon! And I was not overcharged for. Even better!! Kudos Bob.

I had low beam headlight bulbs replaced—and Bob’s Automotive did a good job at a reasonable price. The wait time was short. I was completely satisfied with the service and customer service .

It pains me to write this review as I had 2 references to go here but they disappointed big time. They did a good job at diagnosing my main issues (for $100), and then their pricing to fix it was unfortunately crazy crazy high, like $1600 for some basic fixes that would take them a couple hours to do. I decided buying the part myself and taking it to a shop that will put it customer parts (this shop does not) was the better and cheaper option. You should do that too. Im unsure if Bob means well, or if he knows what he’s charging people is crazy, but his shop is far far below industry standard in pricing, and in friendliness (it felt very weird and not friendly in there, very off putting). If someone decides to defend this review in a reply I would appreciate an apology rather than just trying to cover your read end. No I didn’t want your highest price emissions certified catalytic converter part for the high price when I can just go get it for $80 online. Avoid Bobs.

Our Van broke down on I-5 near Bob's automotive, he sent a tow truck to bring us to his shop. Turns out our alternator went out and he was able to fix it and have us on the road within 4 hours. Very friendly shop owner Bob offered us refreshments and some lazy boys to sit in and relax. Very accommodating to our needs. Thank you Bob

Bob got right to my car. He got it fixed within 24 hours very happy with this service. I’m a big believer in supporting my local community. My brother is a mechanic and he could’ve done it for like nothing but I wanted to take it to Bob’s because I trust Bob I know he’s gonna be fair his pricing and he’s gonna take good care of me and he lives in my community.

Theirs is few things in life that a piece of mind can really minimize stress. Bob has worked in my car twice now in the last year. I have always had new cars and not had to experience many dash lights. I decided to get a used commuter car to save on expenses…let the stress begin. I don’t believe I bought a lemon, the used cars just need more attention. Each time I’ve had a light come on, I call bob and he gets my car in immediately. One time I even had to get it towed there. There’s always options to drop it off or pick it up when they’re closed, too. He prioritizes your vehicle and his team knows how we rely on our cars. The pricing is beyond fair and I was highly impressed. My last visit there, it was desperate “just fix my car, I’ll pay what I need when it’s done” kinda feeling. My car was fixed next day, found parts locally, and my bill was very manageable. What a relief! He took the time to explain everything that was wrong despite knowing nothing about cars. It really sounded like they went above and beyond trying to diagnose my weird issues that were not simply read off the engine lights. All in all- affordable, reliable, quick, and great customer service. They’ve got a customer for life!

Bob is easy to work with and has great prices. He gave me a fantastic deal on an oil change and new tires for my Porsche. He doesn't upcharge just because its a nice vehicle like the franchise auto shops will do. He also let me keep my new tires at his shop for three weeks while I got some final use out of my current tires. Great service and highly recommended.

My wife and I have been using Bob's for 20+ years. We trust his service will be done right, at a fair price and done as fast as possible. He stands behind his service. We had him replace an alternator and it went out soon after having it replaced, at no fault of his.The part was defective, he promptly got our car in and replaced it at no cost. It's the only place we go.

Bob’s Automotive is our go-to garage for repairs and maintenance. This shop has the home town customer experience with Bob at the front desk paired with modern efficiency. I brought my car in for brakes around 1p when the team was rotating through their lunch breaks and my car was ready before end of day. It’s important to note that I was a drop-in client today and stopped by with my fingers crossed that they would be able to work me in between vehicles. There’s nothing quite like getting that call from Bob letting you know that your car is ready for pick-up and hearing him say something like “it ain’t no fun when your car don’t run.” Truly appreciate the authenticity of Bob and his team. If you have a moment, get to know Bob, and both the history of his business and his life experiences. You won’t be disappointed!

Bob is the best mechanic in the area, probably in the entire Pacific Northwest. He was honest and transparent and fixed every one of my vehicles needs. He went above and beyond in helping get my 2002 Ford Expedition fixed, just in time for ski ⛷️ season. I am beyond grateful for Bob and his amazing mechanics. He will attend to all your vehicle needs at the most affordable rates imaginable. Highly recommended.

Bob and the team at Bob’s Automotive are extremely attentive to the customers needs. We take every vehicle we own to Bob. Every time we need preventative maintenance or if we need more extensive repairs the team does great work and they communicate different options for the work to be done to match my budget. This is the best and most honest Automotive shop I have been to in Clark County. Won’t take my vehicles any where else.

Bob’s is the best auto mechanic shop in the PNW. They work with me and my schedule better than anyone around, provide Horst work, take the time to show me the work being completed. I’ve taken about a dozen different cars there for repairs over the years and they expertly do the work and keep the prices fair. From finding and replacing engines to fixing custom work they’re amazing! If there is a mistake (which is super rare), Bob owns it and makes sure we’re taken care of.
