Bastida Auto Salvage & Repair at 2210 Sunset Strip Suite A, Mountain Home, ID 83647

Frank at Basida Auto Salvage saved my butt when my car started acting up—check engine light flashing, misfiring like crazy. He squeezed me in on a Saturday just to test it, then called with the fix. By Monday, my car was good as new. Even picked me up from home so I didn’t have to deal with a taxi. No hidden fees, no nonsense—just honest work at a fair price. If you’re in a bind, these guys won’t let you down. ---

Don’t trust this place. I told the mechanic to give me a total before he started working on my car, but he ignored me. Next thing I know, he’s calling with a huge bill, and I’m stuck paying for work I never agreed to. Sure, maybe there’s a fee for looking at it, but you don’t just start tearing into someone’s car without their say-so. Avoid this shop unless you want to get hit with surprise charges. ---

Guy was straight-up rude. Called about my blown engine, just asked if it was fixable or totaled, and he yelled at me like I’d wasted his time. No help, no patience—just attitude. I’ll stick with my local shop where people don’t act like jerks. ---

Absolute nightmare. Dropped my car off for repairs, and they didn’t fix it right. Had to take it somewhere else just to get it running. Worse? They stripped everything out of it—stolen, gone, no refund. If you want your car actually fixed and not robbed blind, go anywhere but here. ---

Hired Frank for emergency truck repairs after breaking down on the way to a wildfire deployment. He said I needed a new engine, and with the fire season in full swing, I didn’t have time to get a second opinion. Left my truck with him for the summer, and he kept dragging his feet—new excuses every time I checked in. When I finally flew back to pick it up, it wasn’t even done. Took it for a test drive, and it died immediately—timing wasn’t set, vacuum leaks everywhere. Next day, same thing happened an hour out of town. Took it to another mechanic, and they found a mess: wrong parts installed, broken sensors, vacuum lines all over the place, even an aftermarket air intake hose from a different truck just to rush me out. Oh, and he illegally removed my catalytic converter, then lied about it when I showed him proof. Now I’m stuck paying to fix everything he messed up. Don’t waste your money here—this guy’s work is a joke.
