When I drove up, Daniel greeted me very pleasantly, I asked to talk to Joanne, who Ive known a long whileI told them I needed a minor item. I needed a tire changed on a Water craft trailer I have. They told me no problem, and took care of it right away . I highly recommend this shop, and the next time I will make sure I ask for something a little more profitable. Thank you for a more than pleasant experience. Jay

I just recently moved up here from down the hill and hated to leave my mechanic that my family had used for 15+ years. After reading reviews, decided to give these guys a shot. And what can I say, WOW!! The guys were so awesome and took the time to explain my diagnostics report to me after clearing through smog and gave me recommendations on what was a dyer fix and what could be done over the course of the next couple of months. Never felt like I was being taken advantage of! Ive also never been in a shop that is so clean and well maintained. Will definitely continue to use these guys for future services. Extra thank you to Mathew for taking care of scheduling my appointment and walking me through everything.

I am New to Apple Valley and needed new tires for my work commute... This place wax one of four spots I called for estimates and lets just say I left there a happy customer. Looks like I found my one stop shop for my needs. Joanne was absolutely amazing with helping me get the proper tire fit, checking my sensors (because had a blow out and was reading all wrong), I mean the whole shebang 🤘🏼... My car is driving like a dream thanks you all for your help and will be coming back when need to.

They said they would help me and fix my car and then kicked me down the road because they were not capable of doing an easy job on an older car because of their aaa rating what good is that rating if you cant fix the car or your scared to work on it I thought this was a repair facility,thanks for the help.

Not good.. the owners wife wouldnt let me explain what I wanted and why.. she had her own agenda ..not what I wanted done.. she suggested a creat motor.. are you kidding me !! No ! I dont need another motor !! I c now why so many people give this Big Apple Automotive shop a bad rating.. they tell you that you need stuff done that doesnt fit your budget.. you would think they would learn what the customers want not what they think we need ..2 different apples to apples..not going back..

Being a veteran owned business I would like to see discounts for veterans on smog as well as auto repair, I understand the minimal profit margin but it would still be nice to save a couple of bucks. I say this because of being a veteran myself. But thank you for your service both in the shop and to our country. Army 1967-1970Tom Staggs

Charged us $160 for two diagnostic test when all we asked them to do was check out the Cadillac converter and than wanted to charge us $5000 to repair it. Worst customer service will not be going back and would NOT recommend if you have a fixed amount of money to work with definitely go else where they just want to get there pay check not to help you out.

They did exactly what I asked them to do. I had an engine code, and needed expert help to find the issue. Im mostly a DIY guy so I just needed them to find my problem so I could make a decision on if I could do it or just have the pros do it. It turned out to be a failed component that I was comfortable fixing myself. I couldnt have done this without the pros at Big Apple. Thank you guys for your service. Very reasonable price. Will definitely go to them again and again.

Its good for smog work, however their service could improved in communicating that they are busy, instead of just sending customers away to another branch 5 miles away.

Review №35

Great service and provides a lot of detail on other repairs that are required. I usually go to Walmart as I thought the price was more inline with an oil change but have found a new facility for my regular services. The price is almost the same but you get more for your money and you get a better feeling with the quality of the mechanics performing your service here.

I was driving my brothers car and it began to overheat. The Gage did not go into the red when I stopped and had AAA tow to big apple. They wanted $2800 to fix.said it was head gasket radiator water pump hoses thermostat etc. Then they wanted to make an offer on his 1999 pickup with 65000 miles on it based on $2800 fix. I towed it out of there and had it fixed for $80.00 Running great. Bog Apple is the biggest rip off!!!!

The side door of my Van was stick with my oxygen tank in the back. Joanne the service manager got a mechanic to fix the door and he actually fixed it both doors and then when I asked how much how much I owe them they said thats OK. The mechanic was helpful and kind to me. I dont know his name, thank you !!!

Review №45

This place is a RIP-OFF operation. I brought my car there to have a fluid leak checked. I was advised I needed a new radiator and the total cost including installation would be $2,150.00 .... I told them not to do the work while in the meantime I checked around for a better price. I was referred to A-Action Auto in Hesperia who quoted me $592.00 for a new radiator installed. I then had my car towed from Big Apple Auto to A-Action Auto who completed the work for the price they quoted. Big Apple Auto failed to install the underlying engine protector prior to loading my car on the tow truck therefore they had the tow truck driver deliver this huge part in the cab of his truck to A-Action Auto. Terrible Experience !!!

Review №55

Super frustrating trying to deal with them. I have called about getting quotes on basic maintenance work and they never give even a ball park of what it might cost. I understand that you dont want to be held to a quote over the phone when you havent seen the condition of the vehicle but to not even give an idea for something as basic as changing brake pads and rotars is sad. When your car needs repair it makes it really difficult to just swing it by for an inspection. They seem to do good business, so they probably dont care but the inability to talk a little shop over the phone doesnt instill confidence in the quality of work.

Wonderful!Thank you JoAnne😉😊

These guys are ok, theyll ask to do the complimentary AAA check and tell you everything needs a tune up but in reality they are trying to get future service. Literally every shop does this, so its to be expected. These guys are good for smogs though, in and out quickly for cheap.

I shouldve read the reviews first. This crap was a total waste of my intelligence, and time; racism toward African Americans exist, and $44 bucks down to $35 to be lied to about failing. Bottom line...When someone acts like their doing surgery on your vehicle, when you know all that not relevant leave before its to late.

Review №87

My car was flashing Service Engine Soon. It was running OK but I figured I should get it checked. Big Apple gave an estimate of $99.98. I should have questioned that more, but figured that would let them do any work up to that amount.They hooked it up to the computer and figured out that it was a lose gas cap. $116 total. The diagnostic was $99.98. I told them to keep their gas cap. Got one for 5 bucks at the part store.

Today took my car to this shop. To get my ac service done. My car just needed Freon. I was told it was going to be $69.95 for the service. They explained to be there were going to be extra charges due cause this particular car was more time consuming that they were going to charge me an additional $40. They told me that. That they ac may not work well cause the cooling fans stop working. They started hitting them with a metal bar. To make them work. They seem that they busted my fans. They did not come on before they were working perfectly fine. They wanted extra $1000 fled to replace them. These people they just want to take your money. They are not professional. They took of my glove compartment and left it outside after giving me the car. Had to wait 15min to get someone to put it back in. DON’T TRUST THIS GUYS WITH YOUR VEHILE OR YOU MOGHT REGRET IT!! I definitely regret not looking at this guys reviews on google before taking my car in. DONT MSKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID TRUST PEOPLE’S REVIEWS. And do the same thing I did if you are unhappy.I’m going to sue this guys for messing up my fans. I Can’t beleive they are still in business..
