Highly recommend this shop! Owner is nice and honest. Quick and easy responses with up front pricing. They offered a diagnostic for $150 and removed the charge after the work was completed. Not to forget they even gave me a discount. They ordered and replaced all parts under 4 hours. They even stayed open late for me to pick up my vehicle! read more

916 Auto Repair - My happy car! (she's smooth and quiet now) - Auto Repair Near Me - Gold River, California

I only started using 916 Auto Repair recently, but Samson and his team have already helped me with several vehicles and I've had a really good experience every time. If you need an honest, knowledgeable, and fairly priced auto repair shop near Gold River or Rancho Cordova, I'd definitely recommend them. They've worked on my 2017 Ford Transit Connect, 2014 Mercedes GL63, and 2014 BMW X5. They replaced a driver-side CV axle, did oil changes, replaced brake pads and rotors, diagnosed and fixed an A/C and heater blower issue, repaired a trunk/liftgate problem, and also replaced a valve cover and gasket and battery. What stood out to me most was how knowledgeable, honest, and fair Samson and his team were throughout the process. The staff are friendly, the front desk is welcoming, and the customer service has been great. It's hard to find a shop that does quality work at reasonable prices, but 916 Auto Repair has done that for me. Definitely recommended. read more

I contacted 916 Auto after doing a 2 and half week research (which included Yelp and Google Reviews) to have my 2004 Mazda 3 AC Condenser (Factory OEM) replaced. My AC Drier was cracked and inoperable since last year. In this region of the Sacramento Valley and Placer County, 916 Auto quote beat 5 shops I contacted in the region and 1 shop even told me it's not worth it and I should get a new car. Bet if my car was a 69 Camaro, they'd do it. Why? Cause its a Classic Camaro. No matter the condition. Some shops don't want to work on Imports. But oh well. Their loss, not mine. I contacted 916 Auto and spoke to Samson to schedule an appointment and he said to come by that very same day. And so I drove from Roseville to Gold River that morning. Samson is honest & to the point. When he pulled my car in, he noticed a coolant leak. Now I didn't notice any leaks in my driveway, as it would seem the Coolant is evaporating or dissipating, but he notice it was getting on my Alternator, by the stains. It turns out, my OEM water pump (factory part since 2003 for this model year in 2004) finally gave out at 262K miles. Who'd ever think a Mazda/Ford part would last this long. This was an unexpected thought as I only had budgeted for the quote. So I called my CFO (Wife) and let her know of the issue. She said get it fixed and she'll adjust other expenses as she knows I need AC for the upcoming summer temps. So I authorized Samson to proceed with the entire job. Now I can't couldn't do any price comparison, but he did give me a discount which still fit in my overall budget. I spent my whole day in their lobby. They have updated their lobby to make it feel more comfortable and less Auto Shop feel. I notice the many people who drop by to have their car service are all happy and are returning customers. From a Dealership oil drain plug that was torqued too tight, to oil changes, brakes, and even a customer who was a bit upset where the Dealership sent the wrong part twice. The Dealership. I spoke to many of them and they all had the same answer when I ask. "What made you come here?" They replied, "Their price can't be beat!". In summary, my AC is now working as it should. Now I only used my AC for 2 whole days It gets cold and it has been awhile since I have felt cold in my aging car of 22 years. With my new water pump installed as well, my car is running smoother overall. Smoother shifts, heater gets warm fast. Almost, now almost like it was in 2004. So, Did I find a new shop for my Project Commuter Car? Yes I sure did. They have gotten a new customer. Up next is my Transmission Gasket & plug. One thing at a time! Have fun out there & do your research! read more

I was having AC issues with my 2016 Ram 1500 and decided to take it here for a diagnostic. Samson, the owner, was very accommodating and was able to get me in the same day. It took him about 30 minutes to pinpoint the issue. Turns out my AC compressor and expansion valve were going bad. After the diagnostic, 916 Auto Repair gave me a quote for the repair. The price was reasonable and fair, so I gave them the green light to proceed. Now my truck's AC is working like new. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my vehicle here again for any repair or maintenance. read more

I started taking my cars to 916 Auto about a year ago and have been impressed ever since! They do great work. Are incredibly thorough in their evaluation of the vehicle. In addition, they are very competitively priced, especially for the quality of work. I highly recommend them. read more

I needed serious brake repair and I had no idea how bad it was just that it was needed. I was taken on short notice and had everything explained to me as it came up which I truly appreciate. I did ask around about prices and was quoted a good deal more than what was being charges here. Not only that but there is a warranty with this service that gives me peace of mind. read more

I stopped in because my AC stopped working on a very hot day and I was near the shop. This was my first time her and the office was difficult to find, as it is separate from the garage and not well marked. I arrived later in the afternoon but they were able to quickly diagnose the issue and order the needed part. Due to my time constraints, I had to leave when the repair was completed but was told I could return when I had time for them to run another test to ensure the problem was resolved. I went back the next day and the test was completed quickly. The repair cost was competitive, based on quotes from other shops. read more

I found 916 Auto Repair through a very good friend of mine, someone I trust completely, and I'm so glad I listened to him. My car started overheating and my A/C was barely blowing cold air. I gave them a call, they were able to get me in the same day, ran a diagnostic, and actually took the time to explain exactly what was wrong and why. No confusing jargon, no upselling, just a clear breakdown of the problem and the fix. Everyone there was very pleasant, patient, and clearly knew what they were doing. It's rare to find a shop that's this honest and this hardworking, and it made the whole experience so much less stressful. I'll absolutely be coming back if I ever need anything else done, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic! Great quality work and honest service! read more

After doing my homework (and a lot of it), I landed on 916 Auto Repair--and this is exactly the kind of shop you hope to find but rarely do. Yes, it's a little tricky to locate at first (don't expect a big flashy sign), but consider that your first filter--because what's behind it is worth it. Let's be honest: most people walk into auto repair shops guarded, already bracing for inflated pricing, vague explanations, and blind trust. That was not my experience here. What stood out immediately was transparency. Not the "we'll take care of you" kind--but real, verifiable transparency. Clear explanations of what needed to be repaired, why it mattered, and what it would cost--parts and labor included. Even better, they backed it up with proof. No guessing, no pressure. And then--the detail that sealed it for me--they offered to return my old parts without me even asking. That alone tells you everything about how this business operates. 916 Auto Repair doesn't rely on gimmicks or upselling--they rely on integrity, and it shows. It's not close to where I live, and that doesn't matter. I will make the drive every single time. When you find a shop that combines honesty, skill, and professionalism like this, you don't keep shopping around--you stick with them. This is my go-to. Period. read more

Samson and Galina were very helpful and efficient at completing my requested preventative maintenance in a timely manner and at a very fair price by combining multiple repairs that were located near each other in my Toyota.

I highly recommend them. read more

Very good business just got another set of brakes and rotors installed on my 3th vehicle

I had originally had my 2013 Kia Optima towed to AAA shop. They were costly and unsure if what they had quoted me on was even the issue. I did some research online and found 916 Auto Repair. I am so glad I decided to have my car towed here for the repairs. They were honest and open about the issues withy car. They did not overcharge me for unnecessary work. They worked quickly and kept constant communication with me. I highly recommend bringing your car for repairs. I should also note my car is a hybrid and it's hard finding mechanics who will work on my car. I will definitely bring my car for any future repairs to them and recommend anyone else to do the same! read more

Went for an oil change. Was easy to schedule, quick and priced well. Ended up going back to get brakes and struts done. They did the work for a good price and showed me the old, worn parts after. Recommended some services that will be coming up due in the future. Coffee and A/C in the waiting room. Would take my car back here again. read more

916 Auto Repair - 2010 Prius - Auto Repair Near Me - Gold River, California

This business gets a 1 Star for having fake Reviews and being a shady business. Before you even think about coming here, look at the reviews. Almost every so-called "5-star" rating comes from an account that's only ever written one review -- for this shop. That's not a coincidence; that's manipulation. I actually called them out on Google about their fake reviews -- and not long after, their business disappeared from Google entirely. You can't even find them there anymore. That says it all. I went in for a brake inspection, and they claimed they were "done" in under 45 seconds. There's no way that was a real inspection. It felt like a total scam -- they just wanted to grab my money and move on. I walked out instead. The shop itself is a disaster -- cluttered, dirty, and completely unprofessional. The staff were cold, dismissive, and acted like they couldn't care less about customer service. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. Between the fake reviews, shady tactics, and disappearing act on Google, it's clear they have something to hide. read more

I highly recommend this mechanic! I brought my car in for a battery issue as well as a door actuator issue. They took the time to properly explain what was going on and provide next steps with the battery issue. The door actuator was fixed immediately. I really appreciate their honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail. It's hard to find a mechanic you can truly trust, and I'm very happy with the service I received. I'll definitely be bringing my car back for any future repairs! read more

My family, girlfriend, and I have been getting our vehicles serviced at 916 Auto Repair for all of our vehicles over the past couple of years. Customer service is great and they offer expert services for deals far better than any dealership or other mechanics I've gone to. I took my 98 Corolla in for a check engine light and misfiring issues. After performing tests, I received helpful explanations and photos of the issues found in my vehicle. Before performing any additional tests and services, they checked in with me to confirm which I really appreciated. Services were done efficiently and they communicated promptly throughout. I will continue to bring vehicles to this shop because I trust their expertise, value their customer service and appreciate the good deals! read more

I had a car accident on a Sunday morning, and even when Sam was closed, he said could still bring my car to his shop. By the next morning, he gave me a full, itemized list of my issues and walked me step by step on how he was going to fix it, all at an excellent price. He even had it done that same day! He did so great that I asked him to do some other maintenance including oil change, tire rotation, alignment, cabin filter and spark plugs. My car feels brand new again, if anything, it works better! Sam is friendly, professional, thorough, and not an arm twister whatsoever. I really do appreciate doing business with reliable people like him that make you feel like you're dealing with a friend. If you're still reading this and haven't called Sam about your car issues yet, stop right here and give him a call now! read more

Great staff. Great service! They quickly resolved my problem and we're very affordable.

My car / BMW had engine vibration problem at idle, and the root cause was traced to be degraded engine mount. I purchased the replacement part from FCP Euro and requested for quotes on the labor. Samson provided a competitive quote and his shop had outstanding reviews, so I went ahead, and the entire process was flawless and smooth. It was a joy to work with him. My car's problem was completely fixed and the communication was excellent. The people there were kind and cheerful. They service all types of cars, foreign and domestic. They also offer free scan and break and bushing checks. Highly recommended. read more

I sent a message on Yelp today requesting a quote to have my rear brakes and rotors done. I asked if I was able to bring in my own parts I had purchased at Auto Zone. Sampson (the owner I believe) said that was fine and that I could bring my car over immediately and he would check my brakes for free and give me a price after. I was honestly expecting to pay double what he charged. His prices are great and the work began immediately. One of my pads was missing in my box I brought (left it in my stepdads garage) but he was able to have new ones delivered in 10 minutes. He also gave me an additional discount when I was paying and quoted me for other work I need to have done. All in all 5 star experience. Will recommend to everyone looking for a mechanic in the area. Waiting area was nice and cozy too! Thanks again!!!! read more
