What our clients say about us

These guys went the extra mile, and they really earned my trust! I went in just because I had a flat tire. But the mechanic found a nail, removed it, patched the tire (not plugged), re-balanced the tire, found another nail in another tire, patched that one, and then used force-matching to fix a wobble that I'd been living with for a year because I'd taken the car to two other shops who had failed to fix it! I go to auto shops full of cynicism, expecting that everyone is just out to rip me off. But he was thorough and transparent and honest. He really seemed to enjoy the process of diagnosing a problem and not giving up until it was fixed perfectly. He's a real craftsman who clearly takes pride in his work. This shop is nowhere near my house, but now my wife and I both use it. I can't recommend him enough. Thanks, Bauer Auto Service!

Bauer was able to identify the exact issue with my car, a fuel pump and the associated fuel lines, and replace what was needed. Work was done well and in good time. This was much preferred compared to the dealership who wanted to replace the fuel tank, pump, and many other parts.

The best mechanics and diesel service in the tri-state area.

Above and beyond service here every single time. My company has been using Bauer exclusively for years--and for good reason! Today I dropped off my sprinter van for servicing and asked for directions to the train station as I was leaving. The owner and his very polite and professional daughter Lily offered to drive me to the station! They insisted it was too hot out and so the lovely Lily took me right to the train station and made sure I knew where I was going before she left. The Bauer automotive building may be large and impressive looking but make no mistake this is a family business ran by people who see you as a person! They really care and it shows. 5 stars. Thanks again Bauer!
