I hired Robert at Bowers Diesel and Auto Repair for a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle I wanted to buy. The car was located far enough from where I lived that I couldn't ask my mechanic to look at it nor did I know anyone in the area. I called around to many places and they were all very busy and booked up. Some didn't return my call. While a couple other shops also offered to fit me in a couple days later, I decided to go with Robert for the inspection as he was not only kind on the phone, but took the time to offer me advice prior to me even bringing the car to him. He said his shop was also very busy, however he was able to fit me in the same day I had been offered by the other mechanics.

Because I was out of town, the auto dealer agreed to bring the vehicle to the shop for me. Robert called me first and let me know it had arrived and his initial impressions and that he would call me back after the inspection. He treated me like I had been a customer of his for many years or had been a friend of the family.

He gave me very good information about the vehicle, what his recommendations were for upcoming maintenance and repairs, went over the carfax VIN report, and allowed me to ask him questions which ultimately helped me to make up my mind. I am very glad I chose him for the inspection as his guidance helped put me at ease about my decision to purchase the vehicle and gave me confidence to proceed with negotiations for the sale.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop or enlist their services again.

Edit: I forgot to mention that what I was charged for the inspection was extremely reasonable and more like the price I would have perhaps paid with the mechanic I have been with for many years rather than at a place I had never been to before. I am very grateful. Thank you to Robert at Bowers!

I’ve had James work on my F-550 7.3 power stroke twice now, the first time when I bought it and the second time was rear brake replacement. He’s been nothing but professional along with his staff every time.
The communication is excellent when diagnosing problems and the fixes have been excellent quality craftsmanship using the best quality parts.
I’ll continue to use him for any future mechanic work I need done.
I recommend Bowers Deisel and auto repair to anyone looking for a mechanic.

The shop replaced my alternator very quickly and under budget. Couldn't ask for a better shop. I will be recommending them to family and friends.

I have a 94 Chevy with the 6.5 td that had electrical gremlins and James and his staff did fantastic work with very fair prices and found out the issues and got them all fixed . I would recommend this shop to anyone for any of your automotive needs. Great place! great staff! great work! They even follow up with you a few days later making sure you are satisfied and everything is working great. James and team go above and beyond for their customers. I had an issue with a sensor that just happens to be just out of the warranty period even truck had less then 5k of miles on it since work was preformed. James didn’t think it was fair and took care of it and only charging me a small amount of labor for work preformed, not exactly an easy fix either. Bowers diesel and auto repair is the place to go! Once again thank you to James and team !!

Great work, had him run diagnostics on my old diesel just to make sure everything is running smooth. He found a few area for improvement and I am glad to listen to all his recommendations. I was a helicopter mechanic for years but I dont have all the cool digital tools he has to really narrow down issues. Top notch crew over there and can't forget about the great price!

Back in March 2020 I just showed up with my hard starting 1997 Ford F-350 7.3L into James to look at. He took the time to quickly throw his scanner on it, checked the fuel for oil(most places want you to make an appointment) which I thought was awesome of him to do. He was professional, honest and courteous. Ended up dropping my truck off a few days later and let him keep it. Called me when issue was found.(4 out of 8 glow plugs were bad). Gave a very fair price on batteries, new glow plugs, relay, belt and the labor. I also have received two text messages since then just checking in on how this old truck is doing, which is really cool thing to do. I highly recommend anyone with a diesel truck to go to Bowers Diesel!! James is a stand up guy!

Couldn't be more happy with my service here at Bowers Diesel. Job was completed within a single day and when I wasn't able to pick my truck up in time before closing, James took it upon himself to park it in my driveway before I got home. Excellent experience at a Excellent price. Highly recommend.

I recommend James he is an honest person. He fixed my Jetta and had back to me the day he said he would. I did have to go back a heard a noise after a week and it was an easy fix was back on the road in 20 minites. (My timing box was loose). Referred a friend And she was happy as well with the prices and job done in time said. (Obivously no issues while doing the job for a timely manner). Then took my daughter's car in for some advice and was awesome with this as well. Go see James At Bowers. You will be happy.

TLDR: Throughout the whole process of figuring out my car problems, James was thorough, courteous, helpful, and efficient! His prices are beyond fair for all the work he did. I won't take my car anywhere else!

I noticed my car shaking quite rapidly one day while driving, but ignored it (I know, bad choice on my part) and continued to drive. It had always vibrated a little bit, but nothing like this. I noticed it happening mostly when the car didn't have the chance to warm up, so I thought it was just a temperature problem. On the advice of some "car people", I decided to get a tune up. I called a couple of places in town and was told that they would need to look at the car to determine what was wrong (understandably), which would cost a minimum of $100 before anything else. I emailed James and he sent back a very helpful guess of what could be going on, as well as price estimates for different engine types of my car. I scheduled the appointment and James got to work! After working on the tune up, he discovered that one of my engine mounts was torn. He gave me a call and I gave him the go ahead to repair the engine mounts. Then, as he was working more, he found that there was no oil in my car. Gave me a call, let me know that he could take care of it, and then a couple hours later, I get a call that my car is all ready to go! Driving it back to work, I noticed that a vibration that had been there since I purchased the car in 2011 was gone! It drives so smoothly now! Throughout the whole process, James was thorough, courteous, helpful, and efficient! His prices are beyond fair for all the work he did. I won't take my car anywhere else!

Excellent customer service, and a great value. I appreciate the professionalism, honesty and punctuality. We would highly recommend Bowers. James was a pleasure to work with during a pre-purchase inspection.

Took my Jeep in for services the other day but haven't had them done yet because in 15 minutes they found the issue I have been trying to get the dealership to fix for almost 2 years! Very impressed so far with the knowledge and integrity at Bowers Diesel & Auto. I will be returning to have all my services done after the warranty issue is fixed. Thank you!
