Bozeman Community Auto

I was more than pleased with the service of this shop on a Friday afternoon, they managed to get us in for an emergency repair the same day I called in and out in about an hour. Awesome owners and efficient staff! Thanks again for getting us back on the road.

BCA is the best in Bozeman. Eric is straight forward and an honest mechanic that will always try to find the best or cheapest option available to you. I have used him for 3 years on multiple different cars and have nothing but good things to say!

I found their rates to be reasonable and the work to be thorough and well done. I am definitely coming back here!

I dropped off a truck in mid-October that had terrible timing problems (the noise it was making was pretty disturbing). They were booked until mid November, but Eric assured me they'd start their diagnosis before that (The Ford dealership in town guaranteed they wouldn't get it through the door before mid January, so don't bother even checking if you own a Ford). Fast forward to a complete miserable time finding a timing chain (thanks again for nothing Ford) and getting it replaced only to discover major engine damage (rod knock!) and he once again came through with an engine replacement (salvage engine). He gave me a great break on labor because he felt like he should have known before replaceming timing belt, but there's no way he could have heard the rod knock the way the truck sounded when I left it (I couldn't!). Now I have a truck that sounds and runs great. He even removed the new timing chain and components off of the bad engine and installed them on the replacement engine. It took a while to get from point A to point B and cost more than I hoped or expected, but none of it was the fault of Community Auto. It was a lot of bad luck, some poor Ford design, an auto workers strike (affected parts supply), and a tough time of year with the holidays, but my truck is good for another 100K miles and I'm happy I found this shop. I'll be switching all my vehicles over here for service, diagnostic, and repair work. If I never walk through the door of a Bozeman brand dealer again, it will be TOO SOON. Thanks, Eric.
