Becka Automotive

One of the most professional and well run places I’ve done business. I have been there about three times for various reasons. I was taken care of quickly and within budget every time. I will keep bring my cars to Dan and his team. Thanks.

Highly recommend. Family business.

We brought our Chrysler 300 in to Becka on January 11, 2016 for the 60,000 mile maintenance checkup. Dan was really nice and helpful. The estimate was lower than I expected it to be. I highly recommend this shop!

I have trusted the service of my cars with Becka for years. I have always received honest and straightforward diagnosis from Dan and Robert and the work they do is based on need and recommendation and not due to unnecessary services that add cost. Trust is a hard thing to come by, and I trust Becka Automotive and will continue to be a customer for many years to come.

They are the most honest and trustworthy automotive shop I have ever dealt with. I took my car there thinking that I was going to spend a lot of money and they told me that it was a minor adjustment and that there was no charge. Who else does that?

Dan is really nice and honest guy. We took our car yesterday and the service was great. They don’t take advantage of you. Will definitely recommend them. This is our go to auto shop now whenever we get car issues. Superb customer service! Keep it up!

We have taken our cars to Becka for years. They have great communication and we have always found them trustworthy. Their work is excellent and we have recommended them to all our friends. Dan has been especially helpful.

I used to get a bit of anxiety over taking my vehicle to the shop. No more! My aunt and uncle first recommended Becka to me. If I am bringing in my vehicle for a problem they always do a great job of explaining the problem to me, offering their expert opinion, and providing good service. The prices are not the cheapest I’ve seen, but most places that advertise cheaper prices overcharge in other areas. This place is fairly priced.

My sister referred me to Becka automotive, and I’m very pleased by the professional service I received. The prices are fair, and the explanation of the recommended service was clear. There should be more shops like Becka, but until then I’m glad I found this one.

Becka was referred to me by a friend who has used them since 2008 for their automotive needs.
My car was towed to the shop late afternoon. As promised they got back to me the next morning with their assessment of repair needed. By 3PM my car was back in my possession. Great service, good price and very fast service. I would highly recommend their services.
The manager Dan was extremely helpful and polite. A pleasure to do business with them.

I’ve finally found MY auto mechanic!!! After suffering through some rather shady operations, I’ve found an organization that truly cares.
My car had a squealing noise. A different mechanic and just replaced the belt, so I was struggling with what the problem could be. Dan suggested a particular repair, but was up front with me that it would not guarantee it would work. Circumstances dictated that I leave the car with them overnight. The following day Dan calls me and tells me that he was laying awake last night thinking about my issue. He came up with a way to test his theory and found out that it wouldn’t have worked. On a whim he decided to throw a new belt on to see what happened. It fixed the problem. Needless to say I’m questioning the quality of the parts used by the other mechanic.
The fact that Dan may have lost sleep about my issue speaks volumes about his integrity and caring attitude. This seems so rare in today’s world.
Becka Automotive is a gem.

This place is family owned and operated. Great technicians that were super helpful with a problem with my car that the dealership couldn’t fix. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I will return for sure!

After getting an outrageous estimate from the dealer, Becka was recommended to me by a family friend. The service I received was outstanding! The price came in at a fraction of what the dealer quoted me (surprise, surprise) and the service was done quickly and with much better communication. I was treated so well by Dan every step of the way. It was also so respectable that they didn’t charge me for things I would have expected to be charged for. When I picked up my car, Dan ran me through everything that was done, opening up the hood and ensuring that I understood. They followed up after my service as well. You get the impression that they really care, rather than just seeing dollar signs. You can also opt in for text message alerts which make it that much more convenient. I’m hoping my car issues are over, but if anything else comes up, I will definitely return to Becka Automotive.

I have the utmost trust in Dan and the team at Becka. My family has been taking our vehicles to them for over 15 years. I wouldn’t dream of taking my vehicle anywhere else.
They are an honest, courteous, family-​run business.
I highly recommend Becka Automotive.

My family and I have been coming to Becka’s automotive for years and they’ve always helped us out. Dan Radichel has provided us with exceptional service at totally reasonable costs. I’ve continued to bring vehicles here due to their attempts at finding less expensive/​creative alternatives to issues with my cars. I will continue to come to Becka’s and I will surely spread the word. #ilovebecka

We have brought both of our cars to Becka for several years. They have always been honest and fair. I highly recommend Becka for all your automotive repairs!

Dan at Becka is so helpful. Very honest and very clean– really good care for my two vehicles. I came after being referred by a friend and now Ill never take my cars anywhere else!

i have not been to these guys for many years.
not because a bad experience but because i got a dependable car.
My first car (and my first love) was a ’67 ford mustang.
I loved that car but she was out to kill me.
i had lots of problems with her.
The previous owner didnt do much for maintenence.
When i got the car at 17 it was 30 years old.
Being 17 – 25 when i drove the car i didnt have a great job so opted to do most small repairs myself.
I often called these guys up with questions.
They helped me a lot.
The larger repairs that i couldnt do on my own i did with them.
The first time i went to them the mustang was dying on the side of the road.
Autozone recommended that i replace the battery.
I did. A few weeks later she was dead again.
Autozone told me to check the alternator.
I took off my alternator and took it to autozone.
They checked it for free. They said it was charging fine.
They told me i would need to go to a mechanic for a diagnonsis.
Growing up in chula vista, i opened the yellow pages (this was the late 90’s)
I started calling mechanics for advice and a good fair price.
There are a lot of mechanics. Lots starting with the letter A.
Most wouldnt tell me anything over the phone. Almost none would even give a price range for «best case scenario» and «worst case scenario»
The guys at Becka told me it was probably a bad alternator.
They told me the charge was $ 30 dollars for diagnosis. But if i got my car fixed with them that the $ 30 dollars would be applied to the labor.
I was appaled at the price. (i was like 19 by then so $ 30 dollars seemed like a lot)
But i went with them anyways. some other mechanics asked for a lot more for diagnonsis.
When i got there Dan helped me.
He again told me it was probably the alternator.
I told him it wasnt, because autozone told me it wasnt.
After the diagnosis he reported that it was indeed the alternator.
Autozones equiptment was not as good.
He offered to replace it. I declined because that was something i could do on my own.
The new alternator was indeed the solution to that problem.

I brought my vehicle in for the first time to Becka Automotive for two different issues. One was diagnosed immediately and repaired on the spot. The other issue was interior body molding related and had nothing to do with the mechanical workings of my vehicle. For reasons beyond their control, they advised that they didn’t want to risk any damage to my vehicle by trying to remove an unrelated part in order to get get to the actual part requiring replacement. To be honest, the dealership quoted over $ 300 to fix the same issue which I was equally concerned had I decided to pay the $ and have Hyundai do the job. I appreciated the honesty and integrity which Becka provided me and wouldn’t hesitate for one second bringing my vehicle back to them for future maintenance and/​or repair needs. On top of that, they really took care of me as far as the other issue I had brought my car in for. :) Kudos to Robert, Kevin and the team at this family owned business!!!
If you’re looking for an honest Automotive Repair Shop in the Chula Vista/​South Bay area, look no further! Becka Automotive is the place to go!!!

Becka has really handled me giving an honest review strangely. They contacted my mechanic at Fix N Go for my information and messaged me on Unilocal.Just a Unilocal message would have been fine. I did make one error in my review — Becka charged me $ 90 not $ 74 for unplugging my alarm horn and charging the battery.
It’s too bad this was handled this way. Also, the previous flag comment said that I was not a customer and that I had reviewed the wrong business — wow, overly defensive and dishonest. This time, I took a screen shot of the following:
«It took Tomas over a year to review Becka. The Honda was towed in and under his fathers name with a no start condition and car alarm going crazy. The alarm was not repairable so it was disabled and documented on the invoice that the battery was marginal. I could guess that’s why Tomas went straight to AutoZone after the Honda was repaired to replace the battery himself. Tomas did mention in the review he had no more electrical problems. His Father has returned months ago for additional repairs. The invoice was #30 195. I also hope the best for Mike at Fix N Go. Robert Becka Automotive. «
And I went straight to Autozone because my car died on the way home. Thanks for the «marginal» battery. No idea what «under his fathers name» implies. I should have had a separate invoice & you guys took down my cell number. God bless.
PS Robert, I had no electrical problems because I just needed a new battery which Autozone diagnosed in under 5 minutes (FOR FREE) then helped me install. Charging a bad battery & unplugging a horn — $ 90. Finding a new, excellent mechanic — priceless.
