    Thanks for the keychain!

    I brought two of our cars here for the etch and catch program and I always have positive experience. The AC on our 17 yr old Honda Accord is not getting cold and we brought it Thursday morning to have it diagnose and they had to replace with new AC and they finished the next day. Melanie scheduled me right away after I emailed her for estimate the same week. It was quick and professional service! Ron and Jim are great! They also offer veteran's discount. Customer friendly and trusted local auto shop and prices are reasonable! Thank you Folsom Auto Tech for excellent customer service!

    I've been to many mechanics over the past decade (at least 5). It was hard to find one I was confident in. As soon as I went to Folsom auto tech I looked no further. They are very honest, professional, and knowledgeable. Their prices on most services are reasonable and they provide a quick turnaround. They do not try to upsell.

    Brake pad, zero grease or lubricant in sight.

    Jim helped me from the beginning, listened to the car, then graciously took me home because I didn't have a ride.

    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!

I booked my appointment and showed up on time for a simple oil change in my work truck. Estimated time was about 3 hours. Yes, they offer rides but I didn't think it'd take so long anyway, so I just waited in their offering-less sitting area. Got the work done along with a number of glorified recommendations for work needed on the truck- and estimated $2,000 for simple things like break fluid, engine coolant, etc. About 6 weeks after I noticed that the truck started leaking a lot of oil, so I had to call a friend who does basic maintenance on his own cars to help me loot at what the problem was. WelI, we are not mechanics to describe with the proper terms (more than anything, I don't want to be corrected by the business owner and then use that to basically say that I have no idea of what I am talking about), but the filter was not put on right. He had to change the filter, replenish the oil, and that was the end of it. Well, besides the clean up on the floor and undercarriage that I have to still take care of courtesy of shannon's. Could I have taken it back to have it looked at? Yes. Do I have the time and patience to deal with this? No. I wanted to support local business but they are no better than the dealership, your friend mechanic, or any other large company looking at their bottom line.

In this case they don't deduct the inspection fee. They didn't verbally say the inspection fee would be $80. It was on a piece of paper we signed at the bottom. If they are trying to be transparent I would recommend they verbally tell you all fees before services, not just in writing because it was missed by us. Because of this I don't think we will go there again. I don't like that they don't waive an inspection fee if you use them for a repair. I get they have to do what they have to do to run their business, but many other places don't do this. Feels like it is sacrificing customer service for a little extra profit. Leaving one star because of the customer service, pricing, and transparency vs their work on vehicles. I can't speak to their work on vehicles.

They were able to get me in and out in short time. $99 for an alignment of a compact pickup was the cheapest of the three places I called around town.

I came across California Transmissions and their reviews were stellar that I went with them solely based on them. I was worried that I had transmission issues with my Jeep and upon calling in on a Monday, Joe the owner told me that he had a packed schedule, but he sensed my urgency and shoehorned me in on that Thursday. Onboarding by technician Mike was easy-peasy when I got there and left my vehicle in their capable hands. By early afternoon, Joe was on the phone telling me that after test driving it, he suspected it was an O2 sensor issue and that he'd start with replacing that. By the next day, my Jeep was ready to pick up and it drove well. Now, while we don't know if that is the final fix, Joe worked diligently in diagnosing the issue with sincere thoughts in mind of finding the best and economical solution. I am well aware that he could have escalated costs with spendy investigations and what not. My point is, this is an honest establishment, fine folks who strive to calm your nerves with clear communication and up-front discussions. I never once got the creeps of someone trying to take advantage of you while the chips are down. Their charges were reasonable. And that's the bonus of the online experience vs. the Yellow Pages, that you get testimonials that give you reassurances that a random shop will be straight-up and worth your while. I certainly recommend these folks who work with honest intentions.

They explained everything clearly, were completely honest throughout the process, and their pricing was very fair. As a mom and a woman, I really appreciated how comfortable they made me feel. I never felt talked down to or taken advantage of -- just genuine professionalism and transparency. We originally came here because another reputable repair shop recommended them for this job, and now I understand why. The service, communication, and quality of work were excellent. I would absolutely bring my other vehicles here in the future. Highly recommended!
