B & I Frame & Wheel Inc.

Ok shop. Typical LA mechanic runarounds.

Long story-I’ll be brief. I took my beater Dodger Caravan in because one tire was wearing oddly. They were very, very, nice people. HOWEVER, they quoted me almost $ 800.00 to replace the lower control arms.
I got a second opinion from another shop. That shop fixed the problem for $ 59.00 and explained that the lower control arms would not be the cause of the tire damage. Lower control arms don’t «go bad» without a serious accident. (The bushings might).They might cause the car to pull one way or another-​it wasn’t.
Again, the people were nice, I just do not feel they were interested in addressing the real problem. And $ 800 versus $ 59 is a big difference.

I brought my 2003 Dodge 2500 2wd QC for installing new front coil springs, they did an inspection and showed me worn out upper and lower ball joints as well as a steering rod end that was causing bad steering feedback in corners. They patiently explained everything, and gave me a ride home. My truck is extremely clean and well cared for. I am an Aviation tech. on jets and I am extremely particular on how maintenance is done. They absolutely
did a great job for a fair price. The truck drives great and I highly recommend them.

I seriously could not be happier with these guys. I have a 1984 Cadillac Eldorado in mint condition that was riding horribly. After a recommendation from my GM mechanic and my BMW mechanic, I brought my car to them for help on Friday morning. They called me shortly after with the diagnosis (it needed new shocks, ball bearings, and rebuild of the front right axle.) I went ahead with the work, and they had it ready for me on Saturday morning. When I drove the car I could not believe the difference. It was once again riding like a brand new Cadillac — truly amazing and I never thought it was possible. Also, I really liked dealing with Marty — great guy.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Got referred here by Jim at Dawson’s Tires (also awesome) and they figured out that the alignment I had gotten somewhere else wasn’t the problem but that I needed 2 new control arms. Marty was very personable and kind and didn’t make me feel stupid because I didn’t know all about cars. The other people who work there were very friendly as well. They fixed everything like they said they would in the time they said they would, showed me the bad parts so I would know for sure what had happened, and even told me to come back after 1000 miles so they could recheck everything to make sure it was all still ok. I highly recommend B&I!

Boo!
69 k5 Had brake pulling hard. They wanted to start by doing all the brakes. N then see what happens.
Took it to gm truck center. They changed collapsed brake line and saved me probably a 1000 Dollars.
Thanks but no thanks

I love these guys. I have brought assorted vehicles to them for years from a new Mercedes to an old Ford Ranchero. I have always been impressed with their integrity and professionalism. Troy even did some crazy custom welding for my Ranchero frame that saved the day. Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue– you guys came through huge for me in January of this year.
My 2002 Toyota Corolla had been in a hit-​and-​run, and the front right tire, assembly, CV, etc, were totally screwed in the process. After going to North Hollywood Auto Repair and getting totally hosed, I turned to B&I to see if they could finish the lackluster work they had done to get my car «barely» functional again. NHAR gave me a $ 1200 — $ 2000 estimate on just the frame repair, and you guys made my car fully functional again for a paltry $ 600! I was blown away.
Everyone at the shop is extremely personable, concerned, and not condescending at all (which seems to typically be a running theme amongst repair shops in California). They even repaired a part that NHAR installed incorrectly for free a week later when it started going bad in my assembly. «We’ll just put that under our warranty, its fine. Be back in an hour» they told me. Wow!
Thanks for saving me when I was in a tough and stressful spot, B&I.

This place is my new GO-​TO frame and alignment shop for my truck.
I am totally anal when it comes to precision stuff like frame and alignment work. It takes a lot for me to actually trust an auto repair shop, but this place really does it for me.
Also, these guys are off-​road enthusiasts like myself so they understand what my truck needs. The tech did an initial alignment and made multiple adjustments, with a quick test drive after each one to make sure that all was well.
Pricing is very competitive with less competent neighboring shops as well!

excellent work. many shops said they couldn’t align my car (1970 beetle) because its too old and they cant input into the computer. these guys have some oldschool looking devices setup to align cars, its not like any other shop ive seen out here. they straightened out my steering wheel and my car drives much better now.
its also nice to see all the cool cars they have in their shop :)

Excellent shop, fine tuned my racing suspension on my 70 firebird with 4 link rear suspension, coilovers, torque arm brace, and watts link set up.

These guys are a great shop when in a bind they are there to help!

I had my car taken to these folks yesterday to see if they can find an annoying clunking sound in my front suspension in my 2002 Nissan Altima. Not only did they find the problem, they fixed it for a very reasonable price. I wish I would have went to these guys a few years ago as it would have saved me a lot of money and hassles. Nobody else could figure this problem out. Talk to Ed or Troy those guys are great!
