Truck & Auto Repair Shop in Chatham

Great service all the time... Nick always takes his time, no matter how small the job. I would never consider going anywhere else.. Trustworthy.... And that means everything when it comes to Mechanics. I'm always afraid of getting ripped off-- not here , never. Thanks again for a job well done!!

I have a 2000 Toyota Camry with 170,000 miles on it. I can't afford a new car AND I have a new baby so I need to make this one last, and safely. On recommendation from a friend I took it to Nick at Bauer Auto for an oil change, to check out a leak and to just check it out overall for any urgent issues. The leak turned out to be my exhaust system, which I had replaced right away because that could have caused carbon monoxide to get in the car. He also noticed my A/C wasn't that cold, and it's been brutally hot outside so he serviced that. He recommended some other repairs that could wait for now. I appreciated how he broke down what I needed to fix now versus what could wait a while, to make it more affordable. As a woman usually when I've gone to a mechanic I feel like they treat me like an idiot - Nick was super nice, approachable and respectful. He was really thorough, listened to what I asked for and explained everything well. Also, there's a really nice deli next door and a Bottle King up the block if you need to grab a sandwich or a bottle of wine. No complaints whatsoever so I'll keep going here for my car stuff. Thanks!

Came in and got a hitch installed on my car and also installed a bike rack right out of the box as well... To recap, I called ahead, made an appointment, and had all parts (bike rack was purchased separately), and I was ready to go. The team went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable with all the work (and Cost) prior to starting. The job was done right on front me, so I can see everything that was done. I loved the transparency.. In the end, the hitch looks as if it was factory installed. It was a great (amazing) job, and I'm very excited for it, and to start using the bike rack... While I waited, I was given the Wi-Fi password and offered refreshments. Great hospitality! Upon completion, the mechanic walked me through everything that was done and showed me how the hitch and bike rack work. I couldn't of asked for a better experience. Will be back again! ---- Updating review.. I went back again for new tires and a 115k service. Was just as satisfied! Everything was thorough and well done! For the service, they matched the manufacturers specification, except for the price of course.. Much better here!

Great place! I went in for an oil change and a checkup. Also got my window wipers replaced. It was very clean and everyone was very friendly. It's a pretty fun laid back environment. I would recommend this place to anyone who would prefer their car or truck to be in the hands of someone who just shook your hand 5 minutes ago rather than some random person who got handed a paper with a task and for all you know has no clue what they are doing. Plus there is a restaurant right next door...sorta. So you can grab lunch while you wait.

Overall a good experience. Bauer towed my tractor trailer in for clutch problem. Their shop looked at the truck the same day it arrived and installed new clutch by end of next day. Price was fair for new parts installed and labor performed. The fast service was very impressive and let me get back to hauling again...FAST. I would use them again or recommend their services.
