El Primo Auto Center

If you don't book an appointment ahead of time be ready to spend the whole day at the shop, either cause you will be on the waiting list or cause they found a minor error which they could of assisted with but yet they send you away to figure it then come back (and pay an additional charge for the recheck) and be put at the bottom of the list again this may be the only DMV accepted Safety inspection site but sadly definitely needs to improve its service!

Very honest and quick service definitely my new mechanic spot in Bakersfield. They definitely know what they are doing

I was here on 8/7/2020 for brake and lamp inspection and a smog check.Very happy with the service I was in and out 35-40 minutes and no appointment needed. I recommend El Primo from my experience they are fast and reliable. I will contact them again to see if do AC repairs as I'm having a few issues with another car. Thank you El Primo. Diego

The customer service from the front desk was good except for one lady that was being rude because I asked questions and gave me a bunch of attitude from the beginning while she checked my car with the scanner when I was just simply asking questions.Everyone else that works there is cool except her.

Very professional and honest repair shop, which is always hard to find. Work was done in a timely manner and finished properly. If you are in the area and in need of some top notch work done on your vehicle El Primo is the best choice.

I have had the privilege of associating with the Espericueta family, owners of El Primo Auto Center since 1977. The honesty and integrity of the family and the quality of their employees is absolutely supreme. Knowledge of what and how has been passed from Pete and Ana to Jaime and Lyn, now to Marcos and his wife is the sort of knowledge that can only be acquired through hard work and experience. We have three older vehicles that can be repaired. We take them nowhere else. I cannot give a recommendation high enough to compare with my estimation of the quality of the service given there.

I had to get brakes and light inspection. 20 minutes wait. Awesome customer service and friendly. I will always be here for my auto needs.

Took my Infiniti to get the brakes serviced . When I got there , I had an estimate within 10 minutes of being there . Gave them some information on the car the keys and they got to work . After about 30 minutes or so my car was ready . Overall great service .

We have been associated with El Primo since the generation before this one. I became acquainted with them in the 1970's and have had them service our vehicles ever since. We have never been disappointed with any aspect of their service.

Fast service! Friendly and responsive. Excellent customer service! We needed the Brake and Light inspection for the DMV. We were in and out in 40 minutes. Super grateful. Thank you!
