David was extremely honest, helpful, and capable. They repaired my rodent damaged vehicle. I explained how important the car was to me and they worked the logistics out wonderfully. The car runs great; I couldnt be more pleased with the outcome/experience. I would not hesitate to take a vehicle to them for any issue.

By Far the best mechanic shop Ive ever been to! Been bringing my Toyota FJ here for a few repairs and suspension upgrades. This is my baby so I dont just let anyone work on it, let alone touch it.First time I had to get my radiator replaced, and since having David replace it its been running perfect temps. Also had a roof rack installed here, and full front suspension upgraded here and the work and service has been excellent every time.Also had a rear upper control arm bolt hole that was wearing out and creating a bigger hole. David welded the bolt to the frame for the easiest, and cheapest fix for now. Drives nice and straight, brilliant job!If you need any work on your car in Big Bear, I wouldnt bother going anywhere else. Honest, reliable, and very fair pricing.

Two weeks ago I was in Big Bear for a work trip and while there my car started having issues as a result of a service I had performed in LA just days earlier. David, one of the owners, was so kind and helpful, verifying my suspected diagnosis and offering a very quick same-day fix that got us back down the mountain and home before work the next day. He charged me for a single part and got us on our way, on a holiday weekend to boot.I can’t say enough good things about the experience I had, and how grateful and overwhelmed I was to be the recipient of David’s kindness in what could have been a difficult situation. If I am ever in need of work in the area, Knight’s is the first and only option.

After an offroading incident, my Jeep was leaking differential fluid front and rear. I went in without an appointment, and Gregg didnt bat an eye. They took me in, gave me a quote and told me theyd be done by 2 PM. I received a call at 10 AM that they were done, and at the quoted price! NO price-gouging, fast, courteous service, the reviews are REAL. I wish he was my permanent mechanic!

Thank you Dave and everyone that works in this shop for the awesome customer service. Its really hard to find honest mechanic shops nowadays. Knights Automotive has gone above and beyond to provide the best service. Been here about 4 times and the EXCELLENT service has been wonderful every time. Thank you so much. Will always be a customer.

Where do I start. This shop is going to be the only shop I will be bringing my truck to. I had my truck in another shop and they charged me 300$ to fix nothing and gave me the truck back with the same problem. The owner of Knights went above and beyond to diagnose and solve my issue in a matter of 2 days. Its incredible. I was expecting to pay way more then he charged me. He showed me pics of the problem and I got my truck back in perfect running condition. He was super fair and explained the situation. (A mouse nest in my fuse block) Needless to say as a new Resident to the mountain I have found my trusted Mountain shop. I highly recommend Knights. As 16 yr Boat mechanic myself Im very hesitant to hand my Truck to anyone but these guys showed me what they are all about. If I could give these guys 100 stars I would. Thanks you so much Knight yall are studs.

Ive been going to Knights now for several years. David and Jaime, the owners, are stand-up people. David is a great, honest mechanic. David also knows his stuff when it comes to off-roading 4x4s. I take both of my Jeeps to Knights.

My husband and I have tried several places and this is the one we recommend!! They are professional, do an amazing job, dont over charge, are not the kind to say there is extra work that needs to be done when there isnt. They have worked on all three of our vehicles and no complaints. If you want trustworthy, honest work done give them a go!! Thanks you guys for all that youve done.Chapman family

I happened on Greggs Automotive several years ago when I first moved here, just needed an oil change without making an appointment for the next day. Greggs got me in and out and gave me a better price than others had quoted me. Since then Ive had both major and minor repairs done, always within the estimated time and cost.Service is friendly and professional, and I feel confident bringing my vehicles there. We are fortunate to have many good and reliable mechanics in this town, and Greggs is right up there in my top picks!

Gregg’s is a trustworthy and knowleadgeable shop. I trust Greg and his crew with my vehicles. When Audi wanted to charge me over $1500 to clean out my fuel injectors, Gregg’s charged less than half of that, which eliminated my reoccurring engine light issue. They’ve done a great job on everything we have brought in including the Audi, my old Subaru, our Toyota and my husbands Jeep. They’re honest, quick and have good prices.

I highly recommend Knights Automotive. David helped me out in that he quickly pinpointed a transmission leak I had. He was cordial, professional and more importantly, honest. I had to call him back for a follow up question and it wasnt a rushed conversation although Im sure he was busy. Blessings to you and your business.

I took my car in last week because it was making a loud rattling noise. It turned out to be that the exhaust pipe connection was loose. The mechanic welded it for me & did my oil change for $118.00! I was prepared to spend much more, but was very pleased with the honesty & time efficient service I received! I will definitely be taking my car there from now on. I highly recommend Knights Automotive!

Ladies, this is the place to go when you need automotive service, repair, oil change or anything car related. David and his staff are a very friendly and HONEST group of people. I have to do all my car stuff alone, and it was so nice to have someone i trust working on my car. The piece of mind i had knowing i wasnt walking out of there getting less than what i paid for was awesome! I finally feel like Im able to take my car in and have an honest discussion about what my car needs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!

Love everything about this place. The new owners really have done a great job! They are very friendly and really take the time to care for your needs. Their shop is clean and inviting. After a few experiences with other auto companies, I am so happy I found someone on the mountain who I can trust.

Greggs Automotive came through for me. I went up to Big Bear to go camping and while at the Serrano Campground, my breaks went out. They started to grind and I had to get them fixed on a Friday. I had contacted one other local shop before going to Greggs.I went to Greggs in the morning and told em about my breaks, something they could service, but unfortunately I had to wait a while because there were no break parts in town. I went back about 2pm in the afternoon when they said theyd have the break parts from down the mountain.They serviced my breaks in a little over an hour, very quick on a short notice. Im glad they were able to service my vehicle quickly so I could get on with my family getaway and get to another campground. Thanks Greggs for taking care of me and allowing me to get on with my camping trip.5 Stars for friendly staff and quick service (same day).

We were on our honeymoon and our driver’s side berring went out. On a mountain and without options, we were prime pickings to be charged top dollar for the fix.Gregg charged a fair price, he got the part the same day, and put us back on the road in a few hours. It was beyond amazing!!! Then he texted us two days later to make sure our car ran well. My husband and I are tempted to make the 3 hour drive from San Diego to have Gregg’s service our car from now on. They made us feel safe and went out of their way to take care of us. Great job guys!! We can not thank you enough.

More like negative 5 stars. Went in for an alignment and they messed up my transmission. Its stuck in 3rd gear and doesnt want to come out. They dont want to fix it. Telling me to go somewhere else.

I came into Big Bear to take my boys to the snow for Christmas. As soon as I arrived, my battery not charging indicator light came on. Luckily, I was only a few blocks away from Gregs automotive. Although it was 2:30 p.m. And they were closing soon, they were able to evaluate my car and fix it with in an hour and a 1/2. Greg also check my battery and told me I had made it up the mountain running just on the battery. He was able to revive my battery saving me an additional expense and saving our Mini vacation the following day. Greggs Automotive is a great and honest business! Thank you again Gregg!

Greg’s Automotive is a life saver. We had a dead battery after skiing all day at Snow Summit. We called him at 5 pm after his shop had closed.He answered the phone and drove to our location and gave us a jump start. Amazing customer service and made a perfect ending for a great day on the slopes. Thanks for the great service. Jim

Had an issue with my Jeep. The crankshaft position sensor failed and needed replacing. Knights auto did a great job at a great price. Almost $60 cheaper than the other shops I called. I will definitely be taking my vehicle here for all repairs In the future.

Straightforward, dependable, honest, no-BS auto care provided at reasonable rates. When our Volvo dealership mechanics mistakes caused a hose to fail, Gregg and crew were able to correct the problem quickly and effectively at a fair price. I highly recommend them.

David and his wife are truly amazing people. Whether you are a local or just passing through David will take care of you and your family. My older father was at bear mountain when the ball joint of his truck broke and the front end dropped to the ground. Not only was he able to have it repaired the same day but his wife also offered to drive my father to his house a few miles away. Amazing people! Thank you.

I had a smog test on my Jeep by the good people at Knights and left with the certificate in less than 25 minutes, which is great, but the reason I chose Knights is the fair and reasonable price.

Always a good experience here. I have been taking both my cats here since I moved up here.Theyve kept my cars running.I noticed someone left a 1 star rating because they say its too expensive. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa. Prices are what they are. Its infuriating that someone would hurt this business because they are indigent.The reason why I started going to Greggs is because I called all the other shops up here to see what they charge hourly. Greggs was one of least expensive.So, if you are truly concerned about price, dont be an ignoramous. Call around and see what others charge before going in and getting work done and then punishing the business because youre a broke ass derelict. Hong ping pong whatever your name is.Once again I am a very happy customer for the past two years. These guys never asked me to write this review and if they did I would take issue with that because reviews are supposed to be legitimate and honest.

Nerve wracking when hundreds of miles from home and at the mercy of an auto repair shop. Pulled right in and was greeted by soft spoken gentleman who was working on another car and told me he’d be right with me. Within a couple of minutes he checked the code, asked me some questions about how it was running and determined it was a computer glitch. He reset the code and I was on my way. Thank you for your kindness and honesty!!!!

My name is Tom Addison and Id like to Thank Gregg and his staff for the rapid repair on my 02 Dodge Caravan. I had to order a coil pack and Greggs guy took care of me so that I could limp home to Imperial Beach where I live. It took the young man a total of 20 mins to fix the problem w/parts I provided. If youre in Big Bear and have a choice of where to go for your repair, Id highly recommend that you take your to Greggs.Thanks again for helping me get back home.Tom Addison(10/16/14)
