About us

Bolts Automotive provides general maintenance and repair to all vehicle types from early American classics to the latest European performance vehicles and every vehicle in between. What sets us apart from our competition? Quite a few things. The first time you enter our facility you'll notice how clean our office, waiting area, restrooms and shop are. (the owner is a bit of a clean freak) We genuinely take pride in our work and stand behind every repair we perform with at least a 1 year/12,000 mile warranty, some repairs are guaranteed for even longer. We are known for being an honest shop. That might be an over-used statement but here's something to back it up: You might notice that we don't do much advertising and that's because we don't need to, the vast majority of our new clients are referrals from their friends and family members. You're not going to recommend a shop who just ripped you off. We also offer a few perks you might not expect from an independant shop of our size such as rides to and from your home or work as well as vehicle pick-up and drop-off. We hear every single day how hard it is to find an honest shop who really knows how to fix a customer's concern correctly, the first time. Give us a chance to earn your business, you will not regret it.

Fantastic. The staff and service at Bolts Automotive was so outstanding that i joined Angies list so i could give them a review!! i initially went to Bolts when i had problems with truck ten years ago because i was tired of doing auto repairs myself. I was really impressed. Eventually i bought a new car and due to warranties and service contracts had to stick to the overpriced dealership service department. Thats over now and i am thrilled to be a Bolts Auto customer again. The entire staff is professional and courteous. There's no hype or overzealous sales tactics. They're honest, respect their customers and do professional work. I found their labor prices to be gair and really appreciated the comfortable waiting area. They even have a play area for the kids. I have a very strong work ethic and seldom recommend a company but i am telling you now - IF YOU NEED AN HONEST MECHANIC GO TO BOLTS AUTOMOTIVE!

While driving my car one day I noticed the car was a bit bumpy driving and then got so bad I felt like I was driving a buggy. Bill told me all of my struts were bad.  He fixed them and then I felt like I was in a Cadillac. The cost was $524.  Out of curiosity, I called to get an estimate from another shop I used to use and theirs was $1,100.  I was impressed.  I've used Bill several times and every time he always gave excellent service. Also, he did give me a 10% discount for 1st customer visit.  Not sure if he still does. He also checks out the car to make sure there isn't anything amiss and I'll get a little tutorial on what noises to listen for to indicate something may need to be done - which I really appreciate.

I made the appointment, dropped off the car and later that day was called that the car was ready.  This is not the first time I've utilized Bolt's Automotive.  They are the ONLY automotive repair shop my husband and I allow to touch our cars.  When I was looking to purchase a "new to me" car, it had to have Bill's blessing.  If not, I wouldn't even consider purchasing.

We were referred to Bolts through a family friend. They had the range of equipment necessary to perform the replacement that other auto shops did not have. Cindy, the manager was very organized and professional giving us the sense that we had come to the right place.
We had been told by two other mechanics that the compressor was the problem, but at Bolts they wanted to double check that diagnosis just in case we did not need that expensive repair. They called a couple of hours later to confirm that it was in fact a compressor issue.
They called later to give us an update on progress and in fact kept the shop open a little later so that we could have the car for the weekend. It was a very positive experience and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

My car engine (2004 Toyota Matrix) was ruined due to recent flooding. The person who stopped to help me after my engine failed suggested her mechanic. She said they are the best. She called Bolts Automotive and they sent a flatbed to pick up me and my car right away. Bolts analyzed the problem as soon as we arrived at the shop. A blown head gasket and water in the engine necessitated a re-built engine. I received an estimate and parts were ordered the same day. The work was finished in a timely manner. The owner, Bill Bangs, was in the shop on July 4 and I was able to pick up the car that day.
Bill also helped me find a reasonable car rental while my car was incapacitated. Bill and his staff were all polite and informative. They are very honest. I am very impressed with their service. I am very fortunate that the lady who rescued me recommended this shop.

Great! I've been taking my car's to them for several years because I really feel that they're honest and never mind explaining stuff to me. They give me options on solutions/repairs which I really like, it allows me to do what I can with the available funds and feel safe until I can go back and have more done if necessary.

I have a very old car, and there aren't a lot of parts available. They actually spend the time looking on-line for parts that would work for my car. I was impressed with that. They have always given me a good price. I trust them. The car was there for a long time, but it took them awhile to find the parts.

The mechanic showed me Toyota service bulletins and thoroughly described the error code from my car's computer that resulted in the engine light. He then showed me, with my car up in air on a lift, the questionable parts. He gave me several options from doing nothing to replacing everything connected with the computer reported problem. He explained the costs and what I could expect in the future. There was no sales pressure. I opted for the replacement of an oxygen sensor that would solve the problem temporarily. I asked the mechanic if they would install the more expensive parts if I bought them online for a lower price. He encouraged me to do exactly that and told me the brands with which he had good experience and which ones to avoid. I have been to many repair shops over the years but I have never been given such knowledgeable and helpful advice especially when I paid for only 1 1/2 hours of labor and the mechanic spent almost another hour, unpaid, explaining the situation to me. I have an automotive background so he went into more detail than he might have with other people but this shop is more honest and more helpful than any other I can remember.
