Went there on tuesday and bought ten gallons of transmission fluid paid cash roughly $450 …read more Came back the very next day to bring back four of the gallons that I didn't use. The refund was $168 and was told they didn't have enough cash to give me a refund and that id have to wait two weeks for a check. They didn't have no problem taking my $450 cash the day before and then when I called about the check a week later they said the check still hadn't been cleared yet. Obviously you deal with big companies and corporations that probably pay by check or credit card but Look guys simple fix either Let people know who are paying cash. If they need a refund they may have to wait for a check and or just don't accept it but what shop sells parts and supplies over-the-counter and don't have 168 bucks in the cash register, especially when there was 450 put in it the day before

I have been restoring cars for 30 years and have never seen this happen. Even Midas and Macco smooth out their welds. Spent the time and money to send my shop guy back thinking they over looked it. They refused to do it! Said they didn't have the equipment. Supposedly this is one of the best shops int he country. WRONG! When I got Hill on the phone he started cussing at me saying F this and F that and said F you. I asked calmly if they simply had a pneumatic hand held air tool with a biscuit disk on it and he said no, we don't have that kind of tool and if he did, he would not do it anyway because that is not what they do. This is an exhaust company for God's sake. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!! I took the pipe to Maaco and it took 10 minutes for them to do and they did not charge me a dime. SPD really stands for: Special Place for Dicks.

I had 2 different places tell me two different things were wrong with the car which were fixed but did not solve the problem. When I took the car to Coats Automotive I was told to ask for Gary who was attentive and listened to what I had to say. He asked many questions and right away had a pretty good idea of the issue. I left the car with him and in 2 days the problem was fixed. He even went as far as to take the car and get the smog done for me. I highly recommend taking your vehicle for any repair issue to Coats. I felt Gary was honest, trustworthy,straightforward and listens to the customer. I will no longer take my car anywhere else to be serviced. Thank you so much Gary! I truly appreciate your work ethic and customer service....

I am new in town, and asked a couple of friends for recommendations for a good car mechanic…read more Someone mentioned Tareef and his crew, and I honestly couldn't be happier. The check engine light had come on, so I went in on a Friday morning to the shop. I was greeted by Hayden who came out and tested the car. In 10 minutes he knew what was going on, told me it wasn't super urgent, and advised me to bring the car sometime where I could leave it overnight for them to test out a few things. Took the car to the shop the following Friday and left it overnight. The AC/PS belts were giving some noise, so I asked him to fix the tension or replace them altogether. The following morning Hayden calls me saying they fixed the check engine light by heating up the CAT, but didn't replace any of the oxygen sensors since both seemed to work fine. They also replaced the belts since one of them was broken. They only charged me for the belts replacement, and told me to bring the car back if the check engine light comes on again. So far it's been a week of driving, and it hasn't come back on again ... so staying hopeful :-) Oh, forgot to mention that I was told on the phone that the brakes needed replacing of pads and rotors. I asked them to do it later, since I knew it would cost me a bit. Upon picking up the car I noticed the rear brake was still adjusted, although they never charged me for it. Overall the pricing was fair, communication was clear, and these guys know what they're doing. They only charged me for things they did, although they thoroughly went through the car to ensure my ride was safe. Thanks a lot Tareef & Hayden!

UPDATE.I posted an update earlier, and I guess Yelp erased it?Idk.I know this is very long,but I…read morestrongly suggest taking the time to read it all.The leak they caused and we paid to have them fix,is now broke again,in less than 2 months.Please read. As I mentioned, I had a very severe oil leak caused by an incompetent oil change they did.They were previously called Kings complete auto repair, or Kings auto repair,and claim to have been in business for 20 years.I just notice the address is the same,but they changed their name to American Tent??? When I wrote this review back on 8/7/14,I wrote it under Kings auto repair.I believe I was their only review. I wonder how many names they have used,or locations they have worked at.Changing the name prevents you from information from previous reviews under a different name.It is the exact same thing as what apartments do all the time.When they change their names a lot.,or are under new management,there IS a reason for that.,My apt.recently did as well.I believe they did not want people to see all the really bad reviews.They had a 2 star rating for such awful treatment and response to any problems,and very slow response or even no response to complains,or things that need to be fixed.They changed the name,...however,if you look up them by their address,you can see all the bad reviews under the old name.Anywyas,,sorry to get off topic a bit.I am just making my point,about looking up the address or name(s),former names if you can find that info,or ,Kings complete auto repair, or Kings auto repair at 10751 Folsom Blvd in Rancho Cordova..I don't know what they were called before that,or where they may have been located before that, Their office is a mess.It is awful,very dusty and very dirty.They don't even have water for customers,or a beverage machine,and it was very hot in there.No air conditioning.I don't think they even had 1 review.I am not positive though.They may have had one.. .I just wanted to post an update.Approximately a month ago I took my car back to them to fix the oil leak they caused from a oil change.I did not know the oil leak was caused by their oil change,Their technician inspected my car,not knowing they did it.He said something to the effect that the last place you had an oil change used the wrong filter and was not the right size or made for my car.I don't recall verbatim,.He told me I was lucky my engine did not die.So we went back to have them fix it.My car is now leaking oil again from the same place that "fixed" it and caused the problem to begin with ,I will not go back there again,I did not want to in the first place.I have never ,ever had something like this happen from a simple oil change.Not only did they overcharged us on their written estimate for the fixing of the oil leak and brakes. I think they should have fixed the oil leak free,as they caused it. As I mentioned before they had a coupon off the cost of labor for brake service.They refused to honor it.So just fyi,the oil leak they caused,never apologized for,charged us to fix,is once again broken,just a little over a month after they "fixed" it. I refuse to go back there.They clearly are incredibly incompetent,and I would NEVER,EVER consider allowing them to touch my car again.They have cheap prices, and weekly coupons in the pennysaver.I think that is what attracts people.I know I use coupons for oil changes and free inspections too.I want to mention,the owner can appear very polite,and respectful,but I don't know how many people have seen the side of him my father and I did. I also suggest you consider why they have changed their name, and if they were in business 20 years as they say,why when they were called Kings complete auto or Kings auto,did they have one review?Mine.Or maybe 1 before mine.You do not save money if you have to keep repairing it because they can't fix things properly.Especially when they do not offer to fix their own errors. They are not listed with the BBB,they have no awards to my knowledge for good service, and customer satisfaction,or based on the stores response due to any errors they make,...as most places apologize, and fix any errors they did for free,They do not have valid or any good reviews on yelp,except for the hidden ones,Mostly about how cheap they are, or how polite he is.What a joke.He is polite until he isn't.He gets irate.No exaggeration, Just F.Y.I,he is NOT in a good standing with Angie's list,or any local reviews for sacramento.Such as KCRA, who does reviews of, "the best of Sacramento".We have not filed a complaint to the BBB yet,but we fully intend to now. I admit,when I read reviews like this,I REALLY take them with a grain of salt.Some people are very irrational,blame everyone,and just want to complain.Some are not rational or are not being totally honest.You have to be careful who's reviews you believe.I wish I had recorded his behavior on my cell.So it is not just my word verses his if he ever responds.
