The Highest Rated Auto Repair in Clovis

Ranked by the rating and review count on each listing, not by who pays us. Nobody pays us.

  1. Old Town Auto Glass★ 5.0160 reviews · Specialty
  2. Midtown Automotive And Mobile Repair★ 5.0101 reviews · Mobile & Shop
  3. Caesar Dents And Autobody★ 5.039 reviews · Body Shop
  4. Mikey Mobile Oil Change★ 5.034 reviews · Specialty

The best reviewed business in Clovis right now is Old Town Auto Glass, at 5.0 stars across 160 reviews. Every shop above clears 4.3 stars with at least 15 reviews behind it, which is the point where a rating starts meaning something. Plenty of shops hold five stars on four reviews. That is not the same thing.

Of the 56 businesses listed in Clovis, there are 6 that will come to you, 31 with a workshop you drive to, 7 body and collision shops and 5 tire shops. 1 of them has been claimed by the owner, which means somebody has confirmed the hours, the phone number and what they actually work on. An unclaimed listing is not a worse business. It just means we built the record and nobody has corrected it yet.

Getting a Car Fixed in Clovis

Independent shops in California usually charge $120 to $175 an hour for labor, which is above the national average. A quote is the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts. At California rates, a brake fluid flush runs about $85 to $210 and an AC recharge runs about $165 to $460 for a midsize car.

Of the 56 Clovis listings that post their hours, 26 open on Saturday and 7 on Sunday. 15 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.

46 businesses in Clovis have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 38 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 121 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.

For work a general shop may turn away, Clovis has 2 transmission shops, 7 body and collision shops, 5 tire shops, 6 smog and emissions stations and 1 heavy duty and fleet shop. Call ahead with the year, make and model so you do not waste a trip.

Gas, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles from 1976 and newer, and diesel vehicles from 1998 and newer, need a smog check every two years when the DMV renewal notice asks for one. Gas and hybrid vehicles 8 model years old or newer pay a smog abatement fee instead, and electric vehicles are exempt. A smog check is also needed when most vehicles are sold and when a vehicle from another state is first registered in California. Details are on the California Bureau of Automotive Repair site. Auto shops must be registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, must give an estimate, and cannot start work until the customer approves it. Customers can get replaced parts back if they ask before approving the repairs, and the shop must give a final itemized invoice. Read the rule.

Owning a Car in Clovis

Clovis sees about 113 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 38 of them reach 100°F. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.

Only about 11 inches of rain fall in a year, so it is sun, not water, that ages a car here. Rubber parts, wiper blades and dashboards crack sooner.

The average commute in Clovis is 24 minutes each way, and 75% of workers drive there alone.

Yes. 6 of the businesses we list in Clovis will travel to you rather than making you bring the car in. That covers most servicing, brakes, batteries, diagnostics and plenty of repairs that do not need a lift.

How much do mechanics charge per hour in Clovis?

Independent shops in California usually bill $120 to $175 an hour for labor. The national range is $95 to $140. Dealers charge more. Most quotes are the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts, so ask the shop how many hours it is billing you for.

Does California require a car inspection?

Gas, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles from 1976 and newer, and diesel vehicles from 1998 and newer, need a smog check every two years when the DMV renewal notice asks for one. Gas and hybrid vehicles 8 model years old or newer pay a smog abatement fee instead, and electric vehicles are exempt. A smog check is also needed when most vehicles are sold and when a vehicle from another state is first registered in California.

Are any mechanics in Clovis open on Sunday?

Yes. 7 of the businesses we list in Clovis show Sunday hours, including Midtown Automotive And Mobile Repair, Central Valley Mobile Road Service and Repair / Mobile Mechanic and C-1 Road service. Call first, because Sunday hours are often short and some only take emergencies.

How do I know a shop in Clovis is trustworthy?

Look at the review count as well as the stars, because five stars from four people tells you very little. 1 of the 56 listings in Clovis has been claimed by the owner, who confirmed the details. Auto shops must be registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, must give an estimate, and cannot start work until the customer approves it. Customers can get replaced parts back if they ask before approving the repairs, and the shop must give a final itemized invoice. Get the quote in writing before any work starts.

Does it cost more to use a mobile mechanic in Clovis?

Usually not. 6 of the businesses in Clovis come to you, and with no building to pay for, they often charge a bit less than a shop. What they cannot do in a driveway is work that needs a lift or a press, so heavy jobs still go to a shop.

How does the heat in Clovis affect my car?

Clovis averages about 113 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Heat wears out batteries faster than cold does, and it is hard on the AC, the cooling system and tires. Test the battery every year once it is three years old and have the AC checked before summer.

Can I get a pre-purchase inspection in Clovis?

Yes. PPI Auto, our sister company, inspects used cars in Clovis for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. The inspector comes to the car, runs a 122 point check and sends the report the same day. Call 951-267-8500 to book.

How do I check a mechanic's license in Clovis?

In California anyone paid to diagnose or repair cars must be registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair as an Automotive Repair Dealer, and the number starts with ARD. You can look any shop up by name or number on the state's license search at search.dca.ca.gov. 32 of the 56 listings in Clovis show a BAR number on their MechanicRank page, linked to that lookup. If a shop will not give you its ARD number, take the car somewhere that will.

Why do some Clovis listings have photos and others do not?

51 of the 56 listings in Clovis show a photo or logo. They come from the owner, from the business's own website, or from our own jobs for Supercanic locations. We never put a stock or AI photo on someone else's business. Owners can claim their listing free and add their own.

How does MechanicRank check the mechanics in Clovis?

We call, text and email the businesses we list to confirm their details, and listings whose numbers turn out to be dead come off the directory. 1 of the 56 in Clovis have been claimed and confirmed by the owner. Nobody can pay to rank higher.

Why use MechanicRank to find a mechanic in Clovis?

Because we work with these mechanics, not just list them. Besides checking listings, we run free study guides and certification exams for mechanics, publish repair cost guides by state, and give shops software to send written quotes and invoices. 6 of the Clovis listings come to you, 56 carry a rating with the review count beside it, and the order on this page follows the published rules on our How We Rank page.

How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Clovis?

Most mobile mechanics in Clovis price by the job, not the hour. Independent shop labor in California runs about $120 to $175 an hour, and mobile prices usually land in the same range for the same repair. Some add a trip fee and some fold it in. Ask for one total price, trip included, before they drive out. Our repair cost guides show typical parts and labor for each job.

Is $100 an hour fair for mechanic labor in California?

Yes. Typical independent shop labor in California is about $120 to $175 an hour, so $100 is below the normal range. Dealers often charge more. What matters most is the total. Ask how many hours the job is quoted at and compare that with a second shop.

Who is the best mobile mechanic in Clovis?

By rating and review count together, the strongest mobile mechanics in the Clovis area right now are Stellar Mobile Auto Repair (5.0 stars, 120 reviews), Midtown Automotive And Mobile Repair (5.0 stars, 101 reviews) and Turbo Tire Mobile Services (5.0 stars, 80 reviews). We weigh stars against how many reviews back them, so a perfect score on a few reviews does not win.

What are the downsides of using a mobile mechanic?

Some work needs a shop. Transmission swaps, engine rebuilds, alignments and anything that needs a lift go to a garage. Bad weather can push back a driveway job, and you need a safe, legal place to park where the mechanic can work. Many mobile mechanics also run a shop, or will tell you up front when a job needs one.

How do I shop around for car repairs?

Get a written estimate that lists parts and labor. Call two or three shops with the same estimate and ask each for a total price. Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the work. Read recent reviews, not just the star score. A shop that explains the problem clearly and shows you the old part is a good sign.
