Everyone that works here is amazing. They painstakingly worked on my Volvo, whittling down the possibilities (engine light on, would not pass smog.). Turns out there was a coil in the engine that was intermittently misfiring, causing the catalytic converter to go bad. They did an AMAZING job diagnosing this. Prices were always very fair. The ladies who work at the front desk are hysterical and nice, and they seem to know everything about cars. Like EVERYTHING. This shop will work on all my cars for eternity. Take your car here. That is all. CAR PASSED SMOG, no more engine lights. read more

HIGHLY satisfied. Visited 2 times in the last six months. Great staff (Tilly) and very professional. Gave precise estmates and completed work on time. Fairly priced. read more

Always a pleasure working with the crew of George's FA, excellent customer service, quality of work is second to none, and very personable - makes me feel like I'm family. read more

Best folks ever! Can say how pleased I was with the work and Ladies up front. We will never go anywhere else.

I definitely like this place and it's reasonably priced. The only issue is they aren't really usable anymore. Have to schedule so far out in advance it doesn't make any sense. Called for an oil change and they said the soonest they could do it was in two weeks. For an oil change... that's unfortunate. Very nice, and great people though. read more

Very fast, friendly and professional service. Will definetly return for future repairs

We won't go anywhere else for automotive advice or work, ever. These folks live up to their name. They diagnosed our car and gave us options so we could decide how much we wanted to get repaired based on our budget and necessity. The overall price was excellent and they even held our car for us while we were traveling back. Best automotive repair experience we have had yet! read more

They replaced an engine for me. Did a great job. I found them to be honest about what does and what does not need to be fixed. Pricing seemed to be fair. read more

See the girls! There knowledgeable and come from a place where they recommend safety items first and give you a game plan to address other issues. Super clean shop and lobby while you wait for your vehicle to get repairs. read more

We were in need of some brakes on our truck and I had called them to make an appointment. They were quick, friendly and so helpful with the process. Providing us with not only high quality brakes, rotors and an overall quality control aspect by checking other things we may need on our truck. Would highly recommend and so happy we have found a place we will go to with all of our vehicles needs read more

If you live in Lincoln and need your car maintained or fixed I cannot recommend George's Friendly more highly. I moved to Lincoln about seven months ago and consider finding a good mechanic among the most difficult things to deal with. I tried a "highly rated" place nearby and was disappointed in their service and pricing. Then I found George's and the experience has been great. They truly ARE friendly, have gone out of their way to take care of small problems (at little or no charge) and have been very professional. They have my business forever and I am telling all my new friends about them. read more

A nice landscape designer from Fallen Leaf gave me a jump start when my battery died in Roseville. I headed straight to George's to make an appointment before the battery died again. They had the right battery in stock and took me right in. I enjoyed a coffee while I waited. The price was reasonable and came with a two year warranty. Thanks for the truly friendly service! read more

I've been here a few times now and every time it is a pleasant, professional, thorough experience. I still come back from out of town even though I don't live in Lincoln anymore. read more

Looked on yelp for an auto service shop. George's is definitely friendly, knowledgeable, and did a quick job on my car. Very good job, will definitely be back. I liked the reviews on yelp, Thank you so much, read more

Reached out to see about getting a warning light checked out on my vehicle. Was well taken care of by making an appointment and was getting communication every step of the way. The service requested was for an idiot light and good value in my coat of getting it checked out. Easy payment process and so glad they incorporate email, text, computers and a real system not just paper or forgetful employees like other shops. Please note that this was my first visit and I'm sure you will experience good service as I have. read more

My husband's Ford Fusion had a purge valve issue that was causing his car to stall every time he stopped at a signal light. We had the car towed to our house, called George's Friendly Auto and they got us in right away! We elected not to get the diagnostic as this same issue happened 5 years ago. They addressed the issue and the car is running smoothly. They also completed a detailed inspection for us, highly recommend for customer service, value, and speedy Knowledgable service! read more

We absolutely love George's Friendly Auto!! The girls and mechanics are amazing, they definitely care about their customers and put their needs first. They check everything thoroughly so you don't pay for what you shouldn't. I highly recommend them and would never go anywhere else! read more

This is quite possibly the best shop I've been into! The ladies at the front desk were so great. They got us in the same day and done super quick. Super thankful to have found them as we're new to the area and now have somewhere we can always go instead of calling several places. read more

My passenger door would not open from the outside when unlocked. I phone George's (based on great reviews in Yelp!) and was immediately booked for a check-up two days after. Very helpful, efficient, honest, and went out of their way to call my car's dealership and found out my issue was covered by the dealership. George's charged me only for the analytics, 50% discounted, and advised me that except for door latch mechanism, my car was in tip top shape. I am so thankful that we have business like George's in Lincoln! read more

Jess and Tilly at George's Friendly Auto are AWESOME. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. I had a very unique situation with my car and they took care of me like they would a family member. Their attention to detail, sense of urgency, care and communication is fantastic. I won't be taking my vehicles anywhere else. I've already referred a friend to them as well. Do yourself a favor: if you need any car repair or maintenance, call these ladies first. They are thorough and fair priced. read more

I would like to give Georges a shot up for providing excellent customer service, and a timely repair to my vehicle. I contacted them via their online contact form since it was over the weekend, I was probably notified next business hours, set a schedule to drop my car off, and it was repaired in a timely fashion. Pricing was as expected. This is my first time at our local repair shop, and I will be using them again for future needs. If you're in the area and in need of repair, I would recommend this place. Cheers. read more

My car wouldn't start and then let out a terrible cloud of smoke. I'd never seen anything like it. A local dealer wouldn't see me until mid-afternoon 2 days later while my local dealer/service was 2 weeks later! Jessa not only fit me in, she was honest and informative. After diagnostics and topping off oil, the quote was cut in half - and ultimately there were NO charges. Jessa, Tilly, and crew are trustworthy, personable, knowledgeable. Highly recommend. read more

They were very nice people. Did a good job and actually charged me less than what was quoted. Would recommend.

My 2016 Nissan Altima had Check Engine light and they helped diagnose the issue. As the transmission had failed I did not want to get it fixed spending $$$. However, the team at the shop was very responsive and Jessa kept me posted on updates and quotes to get car in order. They even gave me discount for finding the issue during holidays. Highly recommend and will love my go to shop for my auto needs. read more

I hate car repairs! I read good reviews online so I thought I'd try them since I am new to the area. They were so helpful and explained everything. They were reasonably priced and I felt like everything was examined throughly and they tried to save me money when they could. I will absolutely be back for future service and repairs. read more

I cannot say enough good things about their service they fit me in same day to look over a car I was considering buying- they gave me a good honest opinion about it. Will definitely use them again!! Amazing customer service really look out for their customers. read more

I paid up front for my ignition switch in my 2001 Toyota Sienna to get done and then they called me and said they did not have the proper equipment to finish it. They altered my invoice, added an extra charge that was not approved and refused to give me my key until I paid it.i had to tow my van from this shop to a dealership and have Toyota deAler do the work. I would NEVER trust these people ! Claim has been filed with California automotive bureau and the better business bureau. There was No denying any further diagnostics, they said they didn't know they needed to code my key to the van! Also no notice or approval to add charges and it's illegal for them to alter the invoice and make me sign it read more

George's Friendly Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Lincoln, California

See all

Only cause I can't do one star! I've been a loyal customer and referred many people! But today... George himself was rude disrespectful and said I didn't listen because I'm a female! WOW! Friendly George's? UM NO! read more

Wow. Thought today was going to be days and hundreds of dollars of repairs to my 2017 BMW, that was suddenly making serious noise up front. But George's Friendly Auto got me in on the same day! Friendly, yes, but also expedient, capable, and honest. I was down to two lug nuts on a tire! These people were on it within minutes, did the repair, and probably saved my life. This is my go to auto repair now. Love that as a senior, I can count on the front office AND the back garage. Thank you, everyone. read more

Years ago I had a bad experience with George's friendly auto. I recently went back to give them another chance. To my surprise they were great. I'll keep using them as long as I don't have another bad experience. read more

This was my 2nd visit and I required a search for why I was having the problem. George's recommend a let's try this and see what happens. Once the present issue was completed the next problem showed up. When all was said and done my car run's great. They did not cause or charge me for any labor that was potentially stacked by solving the problem then going back to search out the next. Pricing was great for the fix and verified against other repair shops. Looks like I will head for George's next time I need repairs. read more

My mom and grandma have taken their cars to George's and have found them to be honest reliable and friendly. read more

George's Friendly Auto Service - 645-6262 - Auto Repair Near Me - Lincoln, California

They worked on my Toyota Tundra last year; got it running after it was towed in. Brought my class C Ford motorhome in last week because I was getting no air in the coach for a/c, heat or vent. The dealer quote was $1500! George's researched a work-around they were able to do for just $500! They saved me $1,000 & now the fan pushes air into my coach. They are a team of great mechanics who work FOR their customers. read more

Took my 72 El Camino to have my new Edelbrock carb adjusted and timing checked. First, car was to be worked on at 7:30 and didn't get a mechanic until 9:30+. Second, my intake manifold had been bead blasted and without stains. My intake manifold now has gas stains, gaskets on carb are leaking as well as pump. Once again, my carb is new, two months, and had no leaks prior. Returned to George's and lead mechanic says they did nothing to cause the NEW problem and it just happened by coincidence! Worst customer service ever! In my humble opinion this shop is horrible. read more

Best repair shop I've ever been to. I've been bringing all the cars we have to them and they can even accommodate my goofy rare model! I've never had such a great SERIES of experiences. They've just got a customer for life, simple. read more

This is the best auto service we have ever received, we had just moved to Lincoln and our air conditioner went out in our 2003 ford excursion. We didn't know where to go so we googled some places in our area, this was the second place on the list and we chose right! We called and were answered quickly and were met with excellent customer service! Not only were all the people there so friendly, but they were all highly knowledgeable, and answered any questions we had. They gave us an appointment the next day and looked at it, within an hour they knew what needed to be done, they ordered the parts and installed it the same day! We only had one car at the time so one of the mechanics gave us a ride home, very kind, got to know a bit about him, and made it home safe and sound! Highly recommend to anyone here definitely the best! read more

Called last minute for an oil change, tire rotation and check a signal light, took my car in right away, always friendly service!

I've been to George's auto shop twice now since I moved to Lincoln, I'm totally satisfied with the service and the prices. They will be the only shop I take my car to from now on . I definitely recommend this shop for any auto services. Stay safe read more

We have been taking our cars to Georges or years. I have a 2004 Volkswagen that needed some work done on it, Rush and George and the team are amazing. They diagnose the problem and fixed it right away. Took care of some work that another shop had done incorrectly fixed it and help us get a hold of the BAR. They went above, and beyond our expectations. We will always recommend our friends take their cars to George's. Thank you Rush for helping us stop the scammers in Southern California. For your attention to detail, and kindness. Candace Jones-Lincoln CA read more

George's Friendly Auto Service - My baby. Piper - Auto Repair Near Me - Lincoln, California

Husband was quoted around $950 for repairs. That was about what we expected, so he said go ahead. Went to pick the car up and the charge was over $1400. Apparently when they called husband at work with the estimate they asked if they should "do the whole job", but did not state that the car also needed a new power steering pump which was not included in the initial estimate. Since it was all done over the phone, we have no recourse. Then, their credit card machine wasn't working so they wanted to take a copy of driver's license and credit card so they could run the card when the machine was back up in a few days. This screams of identity theft and I wasn't having any of that, but husband wanted his car back and they wouldn't release it without guaranteed payment. The people seem friendly enough, but after reading other reviews, it seems that we're not the only ones with issues regarding their business practices, and we won't be returning. Husband has already torn off the license plate frames they put on his car as advertising. read more
