BERT'S FOREIGN AUTO SERVICE - GREAT PLACE – Today was my lucky day, I have a Mercedes and yesterday I had two messages one regarding tire pressure and the other for tail and brake light. I haven't had my car long so I was very frustrated. I originally was going to go to a dealer but decided to look on the internet and see if I could find a place close to work.. Well I saw's Bert's Auto, I came them a call and I got a very pleasant voice that say just bring it in, I immedicately felt very comforatable . On my lunch break I dr... read more
I Can't Say Enough Good Things About Bert's – I have had Mercedes Benzes for Twenty tyears. In that time I have used House of Imports, Fletcher Jones Five Star in Costa Mesa and Automax in Tustin for repairs. The one common denominator is that they were and I am sure still are ridiculously priced. A number years ago, I met Ron Jefferies when our sons played sports together. Ron mentioned to me his company, Bert's Foriegn Car service. At the time I was skeptical, because I thought that i would be better off with the dealer or... read more
Good Mechanic – He will take care of you
QUALITY SERVICE – I own a BMW 528it (station wagon) and the rear hatch lift system failed. I called every local repair shop and all told me only a dealer could fix the problem at a cost of about $900+. Then a mechanic told me that when they can not figure out what is wrong with a car, they send it Ron at Berts Foreign car repair. My moment of discovery. So I called Ron and guess what - not only could he fix my hatch, and had done so on several other cars, but at less than half the dealer price. At last, a mechanic and not ju... read more
A GREAT EXPERIENCE – I have a Mercedes and was driving on the freeway when it started to act funny. I didn't feel safe driving it and had it towed to the dealership. They gave me a quote. My friend told me to call Ron and I'm glad that I did. He saved me hundreds of dollars, drove to the dealership and picked it up and had it for me by the end of the day. With that said, I have a new mechanic. Thanks, Ron.
crook, liar, and rude – this guy Ron replaces a broken ignition switch so now i have 2 different keys, 2 years later it breaks again and says he'll fix it at cost. charges me $126 and i see on his computer that it cost $88. he's says it's not his fault it broke again and tells me to shove off. I call the dealer and for $150 and the VIN#, i get my orginal key with the ignition switch! i'm back to one key and my ignition has worked fine ever since...about 4 years ago. now hw wants to charge my dad $450 to change the air flow m... read more
THEY BURNED MY CAR TO THE GROUND!!! – I brought my BMW here after the timing belt snapped and bent 8 of the 12 valves. After $1,300 worth of repairs I was told my car was good as new. Less than a day after I got it back, it began to backfire. Not knowing what was causing this, or what this meant, I called the shop and spoke to Ron and he told me that it was nothing to worry about and that I could bring it in if I wanted to for them to take a look at. This was on a Friday, I said I would bring it in immediately and he said he... read more
Excellent Service – Bert is a pleasure to deal with, upfront and honest, works with you on prices - all around great experience.
Reply to: garage_sale200 – The price for the 60K service at Honda Santa Ana is $289.95 with a coupon, the diagnostic charge for the check engine light is $95 and the diagnostic charge for the SRS light is $95. The tire rotation was in question regarding the condition of tires that showed dry-rot and it was expressed to you that the best tires should remain in the rear in case of a blowout. It is so important when you receive service from any facility that if you do have an issue regarding price or service, the only way you c... read more
