I HIGHLY recommend Brazos Valley Automotive! I had my sons truck at a local dealership for a week and they couldn’t diagnose the issue. I did my own research on a FB forum and told the dealership what I was told look for. Using my research they the diagnosed the issue and said it would be around $1800+ tax to repair. I called up BVA, talked to Pat and asked what they would charge for the same repair. He said it would be $1105 out the door. He also mentioned that he didn’t think everything that was quoted from the dealer would need to be replaced and that he wanted to re-diagnose the issue. After having the truck for a few hours they quickly discovered the problem. They fixed the issue in less than a day and only charged me $360. I can’t say enough about their honesty, professionalism and knowledge. I will only take my vehicles to Brazos Valley Automotive moving forward. Thank you Pat and the entire BVA team!

I have used BV Automotive for 10 years for various repairs - minor and major. Service and cost have always been more than satisfactory. Also, I have stopped by for random help like replacing a key fob battery. Bobby is patient and has never failed to help, and does so with a smile. I would not take my vehicle any where else.

Was having a bad creaking sound coming from front left area of our car. Was recommended to replace all shocks and struts to fix the issue and also brakes needed to be replaced due to wear. After spending a pretty penny, the sound still existed when I picked up the car. I took it back in and Bobby was able to identify some bushings and suspension arms needed to be replaced as well. They ended up taking care of parts and labor costs since we couldn’t fix it the first round. Extremely grateful for their willingness to re-address the issue and when presented a chance to do the right thing they delivered! Highly recommend!

Bobby is a man of not many words, but he knows what he’s doing. Got to my car two days earlier than expected. Honest people with very fair prices. Will recommend them to others.

Brazos Valley Automotive has been my go to mechanic for six years now. The prices are always fair, the staff are respectful and kind, and the work is completed above standard quickly. They are a company I know I can trust, because they care. Most recently, they retrieved my Aggie Ring from the dark abyss under my car seats (they're electrical and weeks of searching couldn't get the ring out) which easily could have cost me $200 elsewhere. No matter the problem, if it's car related, I would go to them before anyone else in town. If anyone from BVA sees this, thank you for all the great work y'all do!

I have taken my vehicles to BVA many times for various repairs, and I have always been pleased with the value, prompt service and quality of their work. I have even taken my cars there when I ordered a part and thought I could repair it myself, and discovered I was wrong…. I took the part to them and they just charged me labor. If you are tired of shoddy work and corporate nonsense, this is the place to go.

They've done 2 repairs and 1 service for us. Very professional, able to actually find a problem and make a specific repair, which saved us $12,000 off the Dealership price to "replace an entire system." They did the work on time, and as promised, at reasonable prices. This is the first mechanic shop we've had to use since moving to CS, and it's our go to place from here on out.

You don't come here for the charm and warm fuzzies. If you've got an issue to resolve with your vehicle and want to pay parts and labor and go, this is the place. They even quote and charge below quote if that's what it comes to. Be sure to call ahead to make an appointment, or you may be without a car for a few days. I've been taking my family fleet to BVA for years.

Was recommended here from sevciks service center initially for a headlight replacement. for reference i drive a 2012 nissan maxima. mechanic originally ordered the wrong headlight, so had to make two trips. when i took it back the second time i asked him to check the sound it was making. he replaced my headlight, belt alternator, and wheel hub. on my drive to HOUSTON my belt SNAPPED if i kept driving it would’ve ruined my engine. i had to TOW it and took it to my mechanic back home and took him forever to find the problem. a few weeks after he replaced my the headlight, now i have wires floating that should be connected to a light. i spent over $1000 for everything just for my car to be in worst shape i am so disappointed because there are so many good reviews but this was not my experience at all i will not be going back.

They're honest people with fair prices compared to other options in town. I will be back when I need additional repairs. I brought my car in for what I thought would be an oil pan gasket replacement/repair. Got a call from BVA who said when they got it up, the oil pan was fine but the oil pressure sensor was leaking, which was less than half of the original service estimate. I would have believed them if they said it was both, because I'm not a car person.

My good ole 2007 Toyota Highlander wouldn’t start. I was able to get it towed to Brazos Valley Automotive and Bobby quickly diagnosed it with a bad starter and took care of it for a reasonable cost. He also let me know of another smaller problem he noticed and said he could take care of it and quoted me a price for it, but said it should be a pretty straightforward fix if I wanted to do it myself. He even showed me what exactly he was talking about when I picked up my car. Happy to have found this place and I will def be using them for all my mechanic needs in the future!

They could have done whatever they wanted to my car but they were honest and fixed my problem without any attempts to upsell or overcharge. I'll be back if I have car troubles in the future.

I started coming here in 2014 when I moved to college station for college. I tried a handful of places here and there over the years and have yet to find a mechanic with better service, communication and pricing. I always recommend, and will continue recommending this shop to anybody with car problems.

My 1995 Nissan truck is humming. The guys at Brazos Valley Automotive in one day fixed all my concerns and found some I didn’t know. This was my first visit. I needed my air conditioner fixed and the brakes checked. They fixed my a/c and cleaned my brakes. They also found three belts that were in bad shape and replaced them. They also installed a new brake light part which I supplied. A lot of work done in just one day! I’m very pleased.😊

Brazos Valley Automotive is by far the best independent auto repair shop I have used in my 40+ years in College Station. I am completely done with dealerships. Their service is excellent, their explanations are clear and honest, their pricing is fair, and the quality of their workmanship is outstanding. I have trusted them with everything from AC and brake work to transmission repairs. Bobby Earle has been an absolute pleasure to work with.
