The best auto shop in the Willamette Valley! Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable. After a less than satisfactory experience at Subaru of Corvallis I could not be more satisfied with D & B Bear. They will go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy and well taken care of. Thanks Jack!

What a wonderful experience! First contacted D & B for a second opinion on a quote from another shop, (so Im not a regular customer, just a random phone call). They spent more than an hour going back and forth with me, detailing all costs and letting me know something just doesnt add up, and their quote for the same service was about $800 dollars less. I was already convinced to go there by their customer service but the price couldnt be beat. They got me in the shop the same week (during a 3 digit heatwave!!) took me on a drive to make sure they understood the noise I was hearing, and then went on to inspect my car fully. Called me later to tell me what the other shop found was in fact NOT broken, told me two DIFFERENT things that needed to be fixed at some point in the future and then sent me on my way. I have to be clear that I did not pay a single penny for all of this AND they wouldnt accept a tip because its our job to take care of you. WOW. Im a lifetime customer now, and you should be too!

This shop really saved us. In the middle of a road trip from the Oregon coast to Salt Lake City, our alternator went out. These guys showed some serious class and kindness in getting us into the shop and back on the road in no time, which was incredibly amazing for us. They also charged a very fair rate, less than our usual mechanic at home! 🙏🙏🙏

Not only are the prices fair and the work quality, the employees are kind and willing to talk through issues in an explanatory and helpful way. I never feel condescended to, and thats such a rarity as a single woman at the mechanics shop.

D&B bear provides Excellent Car Service. I had my truck in they replace the water pump and now I have air conditioning back! Awesome job folks! My girlfriend took her car in and all they needed was spark plugs and new wires and it runs like a champ now. They do excellent work highly recommend D&B bear.

I checked service not listed because I took my car in for a tune-up and it didnt need it nor did they charge me. This is a first in my 50+ years of car ownership. They were very friendly and must be more than just nice people since the shop was hopping w/cars being serviced.

They were supposed to replace my tie rods. They are faulty. My vehicle was on worst condition AFTER they “replaced” them. Don’t recommend. Would love my $500 back, but they won’t answer the phone.

When you find a good mechanic, you have to keep them. D & B has been a reliable place with fast and honest service. I just picked my car up from them. They were done earlier than expected and for the exact price they quoted, which was lower than every other place I looked. Friendly. Honest. I would recommend their services.

Ive used D & B for years for their integrity, high quality workmanship, fair prices, and how far they go to ensure customer satisfaction. This latest example exemplifies this: New front pads and rotors installed on my Audi. The new pads generated more brake dust than I was comfortable with. They offered to replace the semi-metallic pads with ceramic ones and charged me only the surcharge that ceramic pads cost over the others. WOW!

My parents have owned D & B Bear service for nearly 40 years. They pride themselves on being honest and always putting the customer first. They also have always offered friendly service. My father started working at his family’s business when he was 12 years. His experience is something that you don’t find that often. If you are looking for great, friendly, honest service, give Jack a call today.

I needed new spark plugs, and they originally thought I would need new wiring as well. When I picked it up they had only replaced the plugs because the wiring was still good so I ended up almost $100 under the quote. They also informed me if some other work I would need to have done soon, which was very helpful.

Had a great experience here. Car was misfiring. They changed the plugs and wires, had it done in half a day at a pretty good price. Most importantly, he was good about communicating the work he was going to do and the price. He called with an estimate and did the work well.

I took my car to another automotive shop in town for a tune-up. They quoted me a tune up at over $1,000 and said that I would need basically everything in my van replaced. I called D&B bear to find out what they would charge for the same service, and I was quoted less than a third of the price from the other shop. Needless to say I took my van to D&B bear and I couldnt be happier. They finish the job in just a couple of hours, they were honest, and transparent in their practice. They have a repeat customer in me.

I’m not happy with D & B Bear Service because they are making me pay a second fee to do work they should have done the first time. We went to them to replace the timing belt in our car, and they did that just fine. The thing is, they never told me the oil seals are leaking and might have to replace the belt again because of the oil damage. While we only asked them to replace the belt, but they mentioned our left motor mount needed to be fixed, but they should have mentioned to us that the oil seals needed to be replaced as well. Apparently, because we werent clear enough, we get to pay a second fee for something that should have been done the first time. Overall I just wish they would give me the option to have the crankshaft seal replace like what happen to customer services.

I made an appointment to have my brakes looked at and and a general check to verify my used vehicle was road safe. The Fuel pump went out the day of the appointment.I approved replacement of the fuel pump and a full service. I was told it would cost $520 and that they would check my breaks and let me know if there was any problems.When I got there the bill was $570 and they had ONLY fixed the fuel pump and changed my oil, and it had taken them 2 full business days to do it. They had ignored my request to drive the vehicle and do a general check to see if there were any other problems that needed to be addressed despite it being on the invoice, and gave me excuses about part prices.Ive gone to them in the past and was very happy, but I have to say I am significantly less impressed this time.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. We were recommended to them by our neighbors and rightly so! They did a great job fixing our car and did it so fast it surprised us and all of my coworkers. Thanks for getting us back on the road so quickly.

Really appreciate the mechanics here! Our car had problems and they thought they fixed it after a day but unfortunately it wasn’t fixed and we were a little bummed. A little less than a week later they had it all fixed. They even picked me up so I could get my car once it was fixed!

They are definitely over rated! Dont trust all these 5 star ratings! I used to have good experience with them 6 years ago but recently I took in my VW for front alignment and paid $60 (more expensive than anywhere else) with disappointing results. They dont even have electronic devices. Their excuse is the computer can be fooled to show any number!. That doesnt mean the electronic alignment equipment are not more accurate than the old school stuff! It all depends on how honest you are!After wasting time by taking the car in and picking it up in the afternoon (no they dont even have a parking lot! If something happens to your car you are on your own!) They said they couldnt align the car but still charged me $60!!! They blamed it on the tires which was absolutely not true because tires where in good shape on both front sides. Car was still pulling to left! I took the car home and did the alignment with a piece of string and a few test drive and readjustments.Lesson learned! If you do a repair and the bill is $500-1000 or more they may let the real mechanic do the alignment but if you go in just for an alignment they give the job to those less skilled workers who cant get a job anywhere else!I do not recommend them as they lost their integrity!

We had some problems with our radiator on our way home for thanksgiving and ended up at d & d. They told us we needed a new radiator, but it was late in the day and no one in town had one. We didnt end up having the work done here because of travel logistics but they were very helpful and kind enough to let us hang out in their office with a dog and baby while we figured out our tow truck. Very nice folks.

Extremely overpriced and blatantly unhelpful. If you don’t know a lot about your own car this is a place you can expect to be scammed

They have done me right a couple times now by coming in with quotes under others, and never going over their own quote, and my truck has been great!

Les Schwab wanted me to do some major repairs. I took my car to D and B look and they said my car didnt need it. The dealer is more expensive and the want to do additional maintenance then D and B recommends. These guys are honest and they are not just in it for your money.
