Our story
Mark's Automotive is a full-service auto repair shop in Bakersfield. We work on everything from daily drivers to classics, handling transmissions, alternators, and electrical issues alongside the routine stuff that keeps a car running.
We do not push repairs that are not needed. We would rather tell you what to keep an eye on down the road than sell you something today, and that is the reputation we have built with our customers over the years.
We also go out of our way for people who are stuck. Stranded travelers, drivers hundreds of miles from home, even a trailer with blown bearings on a tight schedule: we have stepped outside our usual work to get people back on the road the same day.
What customers say
“I need to talk about how amazing Mark's Automotive is. We are 1012 miles from home, with 98 miles still until our destination, and our trailer bearings went out. We came in at 9am, desperate to be at our destination by this evening, and he agreed to fix it, even though he doesn't normally do trailers. He had us ready by NOON! Bearings, hub, drum replaced, new trailer jack, and it was affordable. This guy is my hero, and if you are ever in Bakersfield, and need work, I recommend you come here.”
“I have an 89 Camaro IROC Z. They are the only people that can touch my car. Even tho I live 100 miles away, that's fine. Do the job right the first time. Prices are inline with out automotive shops.”
“These folks are the best! I got stranded in Bakersfield, 150 miles from home, due to a transmission issue, and they gave me first priority. The part was delivered in less than an hour, and they had me back on the road in time to get home before dark. Corey was so friendly and kind, she let me bring my dog into the waiting room, and made me feel like they truly cared about my predicament. The cost was totally reasonable, too! Can't say enough nice things about this shop.”
