What we fix
The whole car, handled.
No mysteries, no upsell theater. You describe the symptom, we find the cause, you approve the fix.
Brakes
Pads, rotors, shoes, and full brake system diagnosis. Stopping is not the part of your car to gamble on.
Auto A/C Repair
Mississippi heat does not negotiate. A/C diagnosis and recharge so your cab stays livable through August.
Front End Suspension
Front end suspension work and wheel alignment. If the wheel fights you or the ride feels loose, start here.
Axle Repair
Axle repair for clicks, clunks, and vibrations. Caught early, it stays a repair. Ignored, it becomes a tow.
Oil Changes
Engine oil and filter changes, done right and done quick. The cheapest insurance your engine will ever have.
Not sure what your car needs? That is what the diagnosis is for.

The shop
A neighborhood shop on N Main.
B & R Auto Repair sits at 1501 N Main St and works on the cars Hattiesburg actually drives, to school at USM, to work across the Pine Belt, back home again. Folks keep coming back for the same reason reviewers keep saying it: honest work at a fair price, explained in plain English.
One customer’s daughter goes to school at USM. When her car needed work, the shop drove her home and delivered the car to her at work when it was done. That is the kind of place this is.

Word on the street
Hattiesburg keeps the receipts.
4.5 stars across 57 reviews. Here is what the Pine Belt actually says.
“Fantastic service. We have used these guys twice now. Once for a cooling problem and this time for brakes. My daughter is in school at USM. They have taken great care of her both times. They were quick and reasonably priced. They even took her home and delivered the car to her at work when it was done!”
“Replaced alternator in less than 2 hours of bringing it to the shop. One of the only places open on the weekend and did great work for an incredibly reasonable price.”
“I had a great experience with B & R auto repair. My car was really messed up after my brakes failed and I got into a wreck. They fixed all of the problems I had with my car in one single day.”
“My dad is the best mechanic I know! People can pretend and bring the prices to the extreme for something that is not even wrong with your vehicle, but not Bob. He’s honest and knows his stuff!”
“Great people with excellent prices. They were very friendly as well as knowledgeable. Turnaround time was awesome as well. Definitely will use them again!”

The right part, the first time
Before you call
Fair questions.
Straight answers, the same ones you would get on the phone.
There is no published price list, and any shop that quotes your repair without seeing the car is guessing. Call and describe the problem for a ballpark. Reviewers consistently mention fair and reasonable prices, and nothing gets repaired without your approval first.
It depends on the job and the parts. For reference, one customer had an alternator replaced in under two hours, and another had wreck damage from failed brakes fixed in a single day. Call ahead and the shop will give you a real timeline.
Yes. Computer diagnostics for the check engine light is one of the core services, along with ignition, fuel, and engine repair. The light is a symptom; the diagnosis finds the cause.
Cars and trucks of most makes and models, domestic and import. If you drive something unusual, call first and ask. The shop will tell you straight whether it is a job they can take.
Cash, Visa, and Mastercard are all accepted.
Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and Saturdays 8am to noon. Closed Sundays. It is one of the few shops in town open on Saturday, which reviewers mention often.
1501 N Main St, Hattiesburg, MS 39401. Call (601) 584-6740 and the shop will talk you in.
One call. That is the whole process.

you are.
Check engine light, soft brakes, weak A/C, mystery noise. Describe it on the phone and get a straight answer.
