I only started using 916 Auto Repair recently, but Samson and his team have already helped me with…read moreseveral 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.

I contacted 916 Auto after doing a 2 and half week research (which included Yelp and Google…read moreReviews) 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!

Ok. I needed brakes replaced and cv axle replaced. I wrote to Ed on Yelp and he told me how much it…read morewould cost. He informed me if I bring my own parts he would put them on. I ordered my parts and came the next Monday morning. I was greeted...information taken and right away my car was taken back. He had the axle changed in 40 minutes...and over 1000.00 less than Honda. He then did my brakes which took maybe 30 minutes. Only 180.00 for both. I was so happy..I brought my brother to get hus brakes done too. I found Ed to be honest and he absolutely did everything he promised. He even went as far as telling KY brother things he did jit need done right now instead of just doing it. I am very impressed with Ed. I would highly recommend him.

I went in knowing I needed an oil change, possibly get one new tire, possibly new brake pads, and…read moreeither new shocks or spark plugs. I left with an oil change, 4 new tires, new spark plugs, and air filters. I've held out on an oil change because I was too lazy to drive to one of those drive thru oil changing places. Honestly, the 4 new tires are justified. I saw how bald it was before I took them in. I just didn't know it was so bad that the wires were showing! Also, there was a nail in one of them. That's the only reason I justified in taking my car in. Lol. The spark plugs haven't been changed since I bought the car in 2021 at 60k miles. It's getting replaced for the first time at 103k miles. With my allergies, I always get new air filters whenever I go into a mechanic shop. So, that's standard. And turns out, I didn't need new brake pads! I don't remember the reasoning but it was valid. My car has never ran sooooooo smooth. I'm so glad I finally found a good mechanic nearby! And the cost! I was honestly surprised with my total. I thought it would be more. With how close by the shop is, I really have no excuse to not be on top of my car maintenance now. And I'm definitely going back for all my maintenance needs.

It's very unassuming at first, located off a busy highway with not much else, but isn't that how most hidden gems are? They always have amazing oil change deals running, (it's what first brought me in) so it's always worth it to call and check. I brought my car in again this week as they had another great special for an oil change. Which is a godsend in this economy and if you're already drowning in bills. The service was quick, easy, and everyone was friendly. I had initially mentioned another small issue with my car that I think was overlooked maybe due to some miscommunication. Even though they were clearly busy and finished with my main service, they were so nice and took the time to pull my car back in and make sure everything was good and even fixed the issue on the spot. They treated me like a friend or family member, I was so surprised and grateful. These are just honest people doing good work and treating their customers well. What business even does that anymore! So this is officially my place for oil changes and car care and who I'll be sending my friends and family to. Highly highly recommend checking out these great folks.

Quick and honest service!…read more I sent a message on Yelp requesting a quote for an oil change. They responded very quickly, priced fairly, and even provided time slots they had open, so I headed to the shop that same Saturday. When I arrived, they quickly directed me to pull in to start the service. It seems like I had just sat down when they called me back out to show me the the underside of the van. They wanted to know where I'd done the prior oil changes since whoever did them had stripped the tread on the pan from tightening the bolt too tight. I could clearly see that what they were saying was true and the pan had no tread and had been leaking oil this whole time. There really would be no way to do the oil change without also changing the pan. I asked how much that replacement would cost, and told them to go ahead complete the repair along with the oil change. This is my mom's mini van that I was going to drive back down to LA, so definitely wanted to ensure I was safe. I was told it would take 2-3 hours, but was quickly out in about 1.5. They even provided a discount when I paid since the repair was unexpected and fast, which I really appreciate. They pointed out some other concerns, but did not force any repairs on me, which I am grateful for. Will definitely be coming back for any future oil changes and repairs.

So....I created a project on yelp to get businesses reviewing it while I called a couple of more. Sam's responded first and was the most affordable. Plus, the owner was responding to me on yelp after hours. They said they had 2 of my size tires in stock and could do a front and rear alignment first thing in the morning. I stopped there first thing in the morning and when they went to work on it, they showed me a 3rd tire that was wearing in the same pattern as the first 2. So, I ended up purchasing 3 new tires along with the alignment. But from start to finish it took less than an hour. They were super friendly, kept me updated on the progress and guaranteed their work. Very efficient service and quite affordable. Would definitely recommend. Thanks, Sam's!
