Having a vehicle crisis turns into a pleasant visit every time because Sandro is such a kind and affable person who takes the time to help his customers understand what is going on with their car. I have learned so much from him and every interaction is enjoyable. I can't recommend this business enough. Really excellent pricing, easy scheduling and quick turnaround. Go to Barr's!!!

I brought my 23 Subaru Forester to these guys for rear brake job and oil change…read more A few days AFTER, no leaks from oil change, no smell of burnt oil no leaks on my driveway so that went well!! Brake job so far is doing well. No noise, no brake pedal vibrations. Parts were OEM pads and rotors. I brought it here because they had good pricing! And obviously quality work too! Dropped off my vehicle and work was done sooner than originally quoted which is a good thing! I paid for what was quoted with no hassles or any sales pitches which I appreciate! The gentleman who greeted me when I first came in right when they opened was pleasant and actually looked like he wanted to be there very easy to talk to and straight to the point. I know where to go now for other car related issues.

On April 21, 2025, I took my car to Auto Stop because it was leaking oil. I had been using them for…read moreoil changes and had always been happy with that service, so I trusted them with this repair. They diagnosed the source of the oil leak, and because I have an extended warranty, I went through the warranty process and authorized the repair. Their labor rates exceeded what my warranty would cover, so I paid the difference out of pocket. Unfortunately, this is where my experience went downhill. After the repair, my car continued leaking oil for more than a year. I brought it back multiple times, and each visit resulted in another attempt to fix the problem, usually by adding more gaskets. It became clear that they were taking shortcuts rather than properly diagnosing and repairing the issue. At one point, I discovered they had even stuffed rags around the oil pan. After several unsuccessful repair attempts, Auto Stop finally admitted they could not fix the problem. To make matters worse, during the course of their repeated repair attempts, they damaged the upper oil pan. Their only recommendation at that point was to take the vehicle to the dealership. That's exactly what I had to do. The dealership corrected the original oil leak and repaired the additional damage caused during Auto Stop's failed repair attempts, leaving me to pay for work that could have been avoided. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Auto Stop. What should have been a straightforward repair turned into more than a year of frustration, repeated trips back to the shop, additional damage to my vehicle, and significant extra expense.

I came here for a smog check and it was very fast. At mid-day on a Wednesday there was no wait. It…read moretook about 10 minutes (2000 and later cars are just hooked up to the OBD II reader, quick visual inspection, and fuel cap inspection). The waiting area is air conditioned and has seating. Service was good as the workers were friendly and efficient. I purchased a Groupon for a smog check for a 2000 and newer car for approximately $26. The mandatory California State smog certificate fee was $8.25. This fee is the same at every smog shop and is paid to the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) to fund the smog check program; it is only paid if your vehicle passes. For a total cost of $34 it was a good deal. At the time of writing, this shop is not STAR certified. Be sure to check the BAR website to obtain an official list of STAR certified shops if you are required to visit a STAR Certified smog shop. This shop also repairs cars and has a four post lift and two post lift indoors. There were various items and a motorcycle under the four post lift so it seems that it is not used much. There is also a two post lift outside. There was a vehicle in the shop with a dealer license plate so it seems that this shop may purchase cars at auctions, repair, and sell them.

I drove all the way out here to South Sac as I bought a Groupon for their smog check offer. I…read moreneeded a Star station. I checked their website and they list they are a Star station and a photo of the logo. I arrive and I was told to wait 15 minutes as the workers were eating lunch in the office space. No worries. Waste the wait and the drive to be told they USED to be a Stat station but for whatever reason lost their status as one. If so, how about removing all mention/photo of Star from your website? Probably too much effort which in turn is a disservice to your customers who rely on you for accurate information to serve their needs.

This is the only place I fully trust with my cars. I've brought them Japanese, American, and…read moreEuropean vehicles, and they've always been knowledgeable, thorough, and honest. After moving, I tried another shop and was honestly shocked by how difficult it can be to find a place that is comfortable working with European cars. I never had that concern here at Green Rider. What really sets them apart is how much attention they pay to the little things. They don't just do the service you came in for and send you on your way. If they happen to notice something that looks like it may need attention, they'll point it out and let you know whether it's something to keep an eye on or something worth addressing sooner. I've caught several issues with my cars early because of things they noticed during routine service, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. I've had everything from leaks and worn components to small things like loose or missing hardware pointed out to me. They never make me feel pressured or like they're trying to find something to charge me for. They simply care about doing good work and making sure you leave with a better understanding of your car. Even something as simple as an oil change gives me peace of mind because I know my car is being treated with care and attention. You can tell they take pride in their work, and that kind of trust is hard to find. If you're someone who likes knowing your car is being properly cared for, I genuinely can't recommend Green Rider enough. I've moved over 40 minutes away and still willingly make the drive just to come here. That's how much I trust them.

I came back again for an oil change, and Dom and the team were wonderful! They were quick,…read moreefficient, and polite as always, but they also noted my poor car needed some TLC. There was absolutely no pressure or upselling, just straight-up documentation of what looked good, and what needed help. I came back the next day and got valve covers and timing belt replaced. Word to the wise: There's a waiting area and restaurants nearby, but the shop is so busy if you are in a hurry you don't wait for them to call. I dropped off my car at 8:30, but there was already two other folks in the shop's dual bays. They said it might take half an hour to take care of the other clients and then 2.5 - 3 hours to take care of business. I waited at the Starbucks across the way and showed up a little after 12... and the car was ready to go! I could've shown up earlier but Dom hadn't had a chance to call me. I appreciate Green Rider's speed, efficiency, clarity, and fair pricing. Thank you!!

I had been told by one shop that I needed to have the transmission cooler lines replaced. The…read moreprice quoted by that shop was more than I could afford. Upon the advice of a friend, they recommended that I call Hi-Tech and see how much they could do the work for. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they could do the work for significantly less . I was able to drop it off in the morning and I picked it in the afternoon as promised. They even asked me if I wished to keep the old parts, which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend Hi-Tech. The lobby of the shop is clean and inviting, with free coffee or water for you. A big change from other shops that seem to be stuck in the old style from the 1960s.

My class a motorhome is 12 1/2 feet tall, so that can be a real limiting factor for a lot of shops. They have a back area that can handle tall vehicles. It can be a bit of a tight squeeze, so you need to be a pretty good driver and feel confident that you can handle tight spaces. I carry a couple walkie-talkies with me to handle just that situation. The service rep took one and I had the other and we entered my vehicle into the slot with only a few inches to spare on each side. Backing out is also a challenge and that's where the walkie-talkies really do come in handy. The smog check went smoothly and I was happy with the overall service.
