Paid $350 for a tow and leak repair. When I went in to pay the office reeked of pot. Shady and you can't trust these druggies. The repair wasn't done or didn't take because it leaked as soon as I looked and the stereo, amp and speakers were all missing wires cut no broken windows or forced entry. Just $3500 of stolen audio. Don't trust this place with anything of value. read more

Shane at Apex Automotive is OUTSTANDING. He is both professional and personable. They do quality automotive repair work at very reasonable prices. I have been dealing with this business for more then 15 years and have always been treated well. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHANE AND APEX AUTOMOTIVE!! read more

These mechanics are awesome. They have been taking care of my newish cars and they are running great. The Nissan dealership auto repair shop in Redding Ca. are straight up crooks. If you have been going you'll know what I'm talking about. This shop is on a side street and is unassuming in appearance. The labor rate is unbeatable and so far everything is great. The most important thing with auto repair is trust. These guys are honest no frills dudes. If you want to waste your money and have fake kindness imparted on you go to the dealership. Dealership will gladly charge you $400 to change out an air and cabin filter (that literally takes 5 minutes). This isn't a hypothetical experience. The choice is yours and I wish you well! read more

Shane is honest and really knows his shit! All the people there know exactly what they're doing. I've had 4 different vehicles worked on by the guys there. In February they worked on my '11 Chevy Colorado. They did my brakes and shocks. It's held up great! I've gone 10,000 miles through hilled mountains pulling a trailer and haven't had any problems. My other vehicles have had ac, heater, steering pumps, water pump, control arms, brakes, tie rods and inspections done. This is the place to go to and very affordable! read more

They were reasonable and quick. They gave me accurate info and a good diagnosis on my Chrysler 200. Thanks for great service. read more

I trust Shane and Jimmy at Apex for our car repairs. They go beyond what I ask for and check to make sure our cars are safe and the systems are up to specs. Their prices are competitive, and because they are thorough, I have confidence that our cars are actually "ready" when they call. read more

Shane SAVED me from LES SCHWAB'S DANGEROUS TECH!!! Took my car in for standard brake job, when Shane showed me a missing lug nut and snapped off rusted over stud. Not 3 months ago I took my car in to Les Schwab for a tire rotation. The tech didnt mention a thing to me. Piss poor service. You can't trust all the techs there! read more

Horrible people George especially. I see that business going down the drain in a year or two. Took my car in for an oil change went to leave and it made a ticking noise and I let them know and they said there is nothing we can do. Horrible quality work and lazyness. My car smelt horrible and there was finger prints from oil all over my door handle and steering wheel read more

Would give ZER0 stars if I could!! ALL CRIMINAL! DONT GET STOLEN FROM! I took my 05 Acura TSX here on 5/18 for a 500$ subframe replacement job which THEY AGREED TO, I supplied the parts needed as well as CV AXLES, MOTOR MOUNTS, SUBFRAME BOLTS, and A-ARMS. My Car sat in their lot for 2 MONTHS, without getting a call or any contact at all. When I went to go check on it ALL of my parts except my Subframe had been STOLEN and someone tried to steal my ECU out of my car, center console torn to shit and broken. I have video evidence of me locking my car the day I left it there on 5-18. My lawyer and I are Going to be filing criminal charges with The Sheriffs Department and a business complaint with the city of Redding as well as the better business bureaus. These crooked people don't deserve the privilege of offering " business" to their community. GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE, and if HERE is the only shop that will do it. DO IT YOURSELF. Would've saved myself about 2500$. Don't let it be you. read more

In addition to the $1600 out of pocket this guy costs me to get my car able to be driven safely, he also committed fraud and got a $9000 payout from my insurance as well as raising my rates for the next few years. Now I have to take the time and energy and money to take this guy to small claims court and fight to get the $1600 for the work done to my car, court fees and the increase for my insurance for the next few years. All while he gets a new door to his shop. This guy is the creep who just keeps creeping. read more

Any time I need my car fixed, I know who to go to Shane and the guys at Apex. I've been coming here for years and always have fast friendly service. read more

Not for fuel injection charged for service that didn't turn- off engine light- use fuel cleaners, water removers- run through both on freeway 50 miles- don't go to radiator tire specialist read more

I went here because I was told they do good work and won't break the bank. I think they do what you ask and nothing more. Just not sure if I would go back. I had my car worked on. The valve covers changed, spark plugs, oil changed, water pump, belts and timing belt. All that is great! but I got a misfire the next day which I never has happen before. I ended up running sea foam through the car and the misfire is gone. I just thought it was strange that it happened when the car never had a misfire before. I have no complaints about the work done just strange that I got a misfire. read more

Apex Automotive is absolutely the best place to get your vehicle worked on. They know what they are doing, and are most importantly honest about what needs to be done. I 100% recommend them! Thank you Apex Automotive for always taking care of my needs! read more

hands down best shop in the north state area. They are honest, reliable, super efficient at what they do, they beat anyone out of the water just in the mechanics fee alone. This shop will always be my go-to and who I recommend Thank you Apex read more

They did an awesome job on my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Replacement. Friendly atmosphere. read more

I can't say enough about Shane and the crew at Apex. We were an emergency repair and they took care of us right away. Very friendly and GREAT service. read more

I call and they get me seen asap! They are honest, fair and through. They are the best shop and have the best prices! Have saved me $1000s...& many hours! Thanks guys! read more

I recommend this repair shop for their honesty and warranty. They took ownership for a defective part installed previously. They replaced it without cost or hassle. The staff is friendly and easy to work with. Tom M. read more

Do NOT go here.. in the micro-print on their receipt, it says they only offer a "60 day parts and labor", after a couple of visits there, these people proved themselves to be completely incompetent, with mis-diagnosis after another, costing me way more in the end than a more established and professional shop that would have charged more in labor, but with competent results. All said.. you get what you pay for. you want half price labor and stupidity.. Apex is the choice for MORONS! read more

Horrible service they stole stuff from my car and made me pay extra don't go here! They also were very rude and overpriced go somewhere else I'm saving you! read more

If you bring your car here be sure to remind them not to leave your keys in the ignition and unlocked overnight or it may be stolen, just like mine was. Then you can be called named and have your character questioned when you tell them they were irresponsible. James makes excuses for his "reformed" ex-con service writer who straight up lied and told me he still had the key and didn't admit it until the police made a second trip there. Now he's spreading rumors that I stole my own car, that I'm on drugs, intellectually challenged, a low-life etc because I posted a warning on Facebook so that others would be aware of what happened to me, a customer for over 12 years that referred him a ton of business. I don't know what's going on down there any more but from reading other reviews, I see that James has an altered reality and forgets that when you treat customers poorly, they tell others. I'm expecting his reply to this to say that I was vulgar and abusive because that too has been his go to when called to the carpet. I have the police reports to back my claim and the text messages as well. It's unfortunate that instead of taking responsibility for his mistake and honoring the agreement HE made to make it right, that he's talking mad smack about me, my child and my refusal to pay him 3x more on repairing my replacement vehicle. I wasn't in the market for a new car, the only reason I had to get one was because Apex failed to use reasonable care and lock my vehicle and take the keys out of it. He even threatened to sue me I look forward to a call from his attorney since I have proof of everything that I've said. read more

I took my Toyota van in today for multiple repairs. I could not be happier. Shane and his crew fixed me up. I thought it would be in for several days and it only took them one day. They also fixed my air conditioning which was wonderful . They were reasonable for the amount of work they did, and I truly appreciated how respectful they treated me. I highly recommend them. read more

Their Service Advisor was very pervy when I stopped by. Not to mention he quoted me incorrectly for the repairs twice. Very unprofessional.

Apex automotive, you guys are awesome and do amazing work with the outstanding men that work for you. Jason and Brandan you guys are amazing mechanics and that is something hard to come by. read more

They have done good work for me at a fair price. I don't give five stars easy so they would have to walk on water to get that. But so far they have done me right after a lot of different repairs on my older vehicles. read more

Give zero if I can too I spend 4000 to get my car fix and they did a CRAP of a job and the car still run like CRAP like serious don't come here you are better off going somewhere else then here don't know if these mechanics are even certified if they are oh god help us!!! read more

I would give them zero if I could. Back when they were Economy Radiator I had them do work on my motorhome. So far I have spent over $2000 having their mistakes fixed. Now one of the new exhaust manifolds they installed is leaking. It turns out there are two broken bolts that they had somehow tried to glue back together and make them work. They never said a word to me about that. Now the exhaust shop is having to dig out the mess they put in there and then drill out the bolts. The manifold is warped from leaking and now I have to buy another manifold. I URGE you not to use this shop. Look up their reviews under the name of Economy Radiator and you'll see why they changed their name. read more

One star, I have to say, does not reflect their work. They had my truck back on the road in no time. I was very happy to finally be able to use it again. It was broke down. & parked since the middle of last summer. Turned out it needed a new distributor, even though the one that was in it only had about 2500 miles on it. I never could have figured that one out. It also needed a new we battery, since the other sat for so long. They only charged $600. Could have been a lot worse. The only concern was that i am now getting a bit over 7mpg, w/no trailer. It was getting 13, pulling a heavy trailer from New Mexico. While hauling a tractor home, i pulled in to ask if there was something i could do to up the mog's. Parking lot was fairly clear, so i parked close to the office because walking is fairly painful for mr, & went in. I got half way through explaining, when. I assume, the owner comes in bellering i gotta move my truck/trailer. I said i had just one uick question, & he says, "i dont give a damn! Move the truck!" So, mister smart ass, i just left. & wont be back. I refuse to patron rudeness likr that, especially to that level. To the feller behind the desk, i feel for ya. It must be a real joy working for that jerk. (He's a hell of a nice guy, by the way). I thought i fount a "go to" shop for future business, but no way! Ive paid my dues. Worked too hard all my life to put up with some snot nosed youngsters attitude! You sure find out a lot about someone's character when they get in a position of authority. Makes me think someones daddy didnt lead him out behind the wood shed near enough. Now the cast is set. Oh well, at least i dont have to put up with him...ever read more

After being with them for years, and having given them a few thousand for various repairs, including a new engine, they chose start being dishonest and charging for things that the didn't end up fixing. They told me that they would charge to try and find out what the problem is, even though I already payed to have it fixed. They do not care about helping their customers. Do not give them your money, they will not care if your problem is fixed or not. read more

always helpful and respectful. recommended another local shop when they couldnot take care of an issue.

My family and I have been here many times. The auto technicians are amazing and they always get the car fixed at a fair price. Always recommend to my friends and family! read more

They are highly capable performing repairs and saved me 1000's. I have gotten minor repairs, an engine replaced because i should have replaced the water pump sooner. This was either a full top end repair, valves and heads and all the misc for about 3K, or have the engine replaced for a turn-key $1600. I took James recommendation and replaced the engine. Big thanks to APEX the car is still running strong without a single repair 2 years later. Recently I took my 6.0l diesel in running like a dog until it got warmed up. I did a lot of trouble shooting and decided to take it in, other shops said fuel pump, replace all the injectors and possible the turbo, between 3k and 6k. Again I'm thankful for taking it in, they found a vacuum leak in the exhaust manifold. Its a 17 years diesel so maybe not power like new, but I'm at least 90% power and thats 150% better than where I was. James was honest and said, that i have other components on the way out and told me what to look for, I'm planning to save a little and take it back but for now I'm running strong for $600 bucks. Sometimes you may have buyers remorse for thinking you over spent, but I'll tell you it makes you feel good, when you feel like you treated with respect and your happy to pay the bill. I highly recommend the shop. The other service writers are OK but James is the man. BTW James is a little gruff, my opinion is because he is the "subject matter expert" even if you "think" you know a little like me. He will get you back on the road and chances are save you a bunch of money. read more

I've been a customer of economy auto / apex for since they were located on North Street in Anderson. Unfortunately, I may need to find a new repair shop. We called on Wednesday to get the front brakes done. They said we could drop it off on Friday. I show up Friday morning to drop it off and Shane, who's working the counter, seems upset that I'm there and wants to know who we talked to. It was you Shane. He begrudgingly starts the paperwork and we leave after signing. He calls around 11:30 with an updated quote. I attempt to call them back but cannot get anyone to answer the phone until after 1:00. I agree to the new quote and Shane tells me it will be a couple hours. After 4:00 I still haven't received a call letting me know my car is ready so both my wife and I attempt to call. Once again nobody answers. We decide to head to town to pick it up. When we arrive we see the shop is closed and my car is locked inside. I was pretty upset but realized I would just need to wait until the morning. The hours listed that they open at 10:00 on Saturdays so my wife was driving by around 10:30 and went in. They were people present but they stated they were not open. After some discussion they agreed to pull the car out so my wife paid and we picked it up later. They had no problem with the thought of keeping my car all weekend after not calling to inform it was done, not stating that they were closing early on Friday and not stating that they did not plan on being open on Saturday. So much for me and my three vehicles, my two daughters and they're four vehicles being loyal customers. read more
