I am continuously impressed with Bikini for my needs, wants and wish list! My most recent visits were quite extensive and far less expensive than dealer services.
It's really awesome and almost rare these days to find a business for auto modification and repairs that first of and above all you can trust, that treats you right, stands behind their work and does not take you to the broke house.
Bikini's crew recently did my brakes, fixed, vacuumed and charged my AC (it works just as good as factory btw which is almost unheard of after AC repairs), installed a new clutch, rear main seal, my oil pan gasket and change of corse and did a swap of a 2.5" to a 4" lift in less than 2 days. This amazes me because they somehow strategically planned and scheduled me in last minute with a full book of business to have it all done before a big wheeling trip. The ability to do that without favors or pushing back any other work for a busy business sets them apart from their competitors by a landslide in customer service and expectations.
Like all shops or dealers I was advised of additional repairs/services that I needed but Bikini puts them in a time line and life expectancy perspective. Most of you would think no that's not awesome they are just trying to get more money out of you when in fact that's not true here. With a quick look over I was told it appeared that I needed an additional repair and once they did a more in depth inspection it was found that no repair was needed and I was informed of this promptly. If they tell you that you need something you need it for safety or to ensure further damages are not caused not to dig in your wallet. If you don't "need" it they will simply advise you to think about said repair/upgrade and give and estimated life expectancy before "needing" the repair.
I'd give Bikini a 10 out of 5 ANY day. I have referred many and will continue to do so. Thanks again Bikini!!

The best jeep/4x4 shop I have found in town. The owners and staff are outgoing, honest, and friendly. I took my jeep in and Tony started trying to fix the problem right then. They will be the only place I go from now on for work on my jeep. Thank you guys for all your help!

Family owned and operated mechanic shop. They specialize in all types of Jeeps, but will work on any other car as well. They're reliable, affordable and trustworthy.
It's hard to find a great mechanic that whole heartedly knows what they're doing and doesn't try to take advantage of you. Looking forward to working with them in the future.

As everyone knows, it's extremely hard to find a good, honest and trustworthy auto repair shop, but Bikini Offroad is definitely one that you can trust. We took our jeep in to get worked on and we were having a bit of an issue as to what was causing the problem, but Tony and the guys went over and beyond to find out what was wrong and fixed our jeep in a timely affordable manner. We have never been more pleased with an auto repair shop and thanks to everyone at Bikini Offroad we can now enjoy the jeep life! We will definitely continue to do business with this shop. Thank you Bikini Offroad!

This the only place in town that I trust my Baby with. I've been going to them when they were working out of their garage at there home. Now that they have opened up their shop service has only gotten better. Tony is the BEST!! Hands down.

Fernando is a scam artist. For years he was fixing my car, but I always noticed something new was wrong with my car as soon as I drove away from his shop. His favorite thing to do was mess with my belts causing them to squeak. I took it back for him to fix it, however he simply said it's still making a squeaking noise. Since he failed to fix what I asked him to do I simply left him for another mechanic. The new mechanic I saw showed me that Fernando had installed new belts, but he did it wrong. One day Fernando showed me a double sided piece of paper saying "This is a new auto review check we're doing" and that one side of paper would cost $400.00. After this he flipped it over to the back and said "that'll be another $400.00." I immediately declined this offer since clearly it was his way of making more money. Please avoid this place.

Do not take your vehicle to this guy!!! He is a crook!!! And i repeat a crook!!! My vehicle was at his location on reindeer trail. He chose to leave my vehicle on street corner. He didnt lock my vehicle up and it got broken into and they broke my ignition trying to steal my vehicle and then they couldnt take it. Fernando the owner felt badly as he informed me on the phone. He was at fault because the vehicle was in his possession and he was fixing it right now . I said o.k. and went over there to look at it and when i realized he parked it on the street and no visible forced entry? He lied about securing it. I simply said i would like for you to fix the damages and i was going to take it with me. He said if i take it he would not fix it!!! I paid $280.00 to get it fixed to get it out of there. Not a honorable guy. When i told him he was not a honest person he said sorry i am just a Mexican? I was truly offended by that comment. "That is what is wrong with this society today".

Fernando is a great mechanic and is much more affordable than those I have dealt with in the past. He does not try to upcharge on unnecessary work and I plan to always take my vehicle to him even though it is not the closest place to my house.
