Excellent service. Bob has taken really good care of my truck. He's straight up, trustworthy, and reliable - all great qualities for a mechanic to have! If you're looking for a reliable mechanic in East Sooke, this is your guy. I highly recommend Bob and the Underhoods Auto Repair.

Very happy with the services I had done on my car. Bob is an amazing mechanic. Very friendly and great on communicating. 10/10 would recommend getting your car serviced with them. I always get worried about being over charged since I have in the past, but The Underhoods auto repair definitely gives you a fair price for the work being done. This should definitely be your first spot to call if you need a mechanic.

I was given Bob's card from a friend, and I couldn't be happier to have found his mechanics services. He is trustworthy, friendly, and informative. The East Sooke Community is lucky to have Bob in the Area! Thanks Bob & The Underhoods Auto Repair!
