Automotive News & Information - BB Automotive

The best automotive/diesel shop I have experienced in both Odessa and Midland, Texas. They are honest, know what they are doing (these guys are just not parts changers), and work with you to fix your vehicle in the most cost effective way. In addition, these guys care about your vehicle and are not trying to just get you in and out to make a buck. I highly recommend them. It is difficult nowadays to find mechanics of this caliber, mechanics that are not only top notch but that also genuinely care about the customer. - Scott B. (5 star review on Google)
