My brakes started squeaking about a week ago and I called Kings auto to see if I needed an appointment to bring my car in. I spoke to Wayne and he said to bring my car in and drop it off the next day. I dropped my car off this morning and just picked it up. Wayne is very honest and reasonable. I didn't need front brakes so he only replaced the back and said he would check the front again in about 6 months...I highly recommend Kings Auto Service!!! read more

Was visiting my dad in Sacramento when I suddenly got a "low tire pressure" alert on my car. My tires are quite new and I figured I ran over a nail. I called Wayne of Kings Auto and he said "bring the car on over" - I did just that. He quickly found the nail, repaired my tire, and got me new windshield wipers (mine were in rough shape with the hot weather and I've been meaning to replace them the couple of weeks. Kings is a locally owned business and Wayne was friendly, professional and responsive. I highly recommend Kings for your auto repair needs! It is affordable too! read more

I know you are looking at reviews cause everyone gets uncertain about a new mechanic. But don't look any further!! Wayne is the automotive KING. Trustworthy, fast, affordable. Honestly there's no reason to take your car anywhere else. Best mechanic in Sacramento read more

Wayne is a stand up guy. He's no bullshit, tells you the way it is. Prices are reasonable and you have a good person to deal with. He's not super good at calling you though... I always end up contacting the shop before they call me. (It's usually 3 PM the day I'm going to pick it up, and he hasn't called to tell me about the status.) However, when you call and tell him which car you are calling about, he always has the stats ready to go. I brought my old Camry to them (which was stolen), my old Subaru (which was totaled in a wreck), and my dad's old clunky Volvo as well. He did an amazing job on the Volvo 940 - The thing was on the verge of its death bed. He replaced the drive belts and reworked the exhaust... It worked great! read more

I am so happy with the work that Wayne does. He checked my brakes because I was not sure how they were. I don't need them replaced yet. He maintains my Toyota Camry. His prices are reasonable. Thanks, Wayne! read more

This shop has the best price and get thing fix. My car die a block from his shop. I called him and Wayne came over and help me push my car to his shop. Thank you. read more

Wayne is the kindest, most trustworthy mechanic that I have ever been to. He never tries to sale you on things you don't needs and returns your car very quickly. I appreciate his service and recommend him to anyone looking for a mechanic. read more

Wayne is the reason we pulled 20+ years out of both our Saturn SL2 cars. Mechanics don't come any better or more honest. He even offered to loan us his personal vehicle while he fixed our car! We discovered Wayne when three other shops could not fix one of our cars. Three other family members are also fans of Wayne's. If a part can last longer, he won't replace it until it's time. He has a soft spot for home baked goods, but don't tell him we said so. LOL! read more

Wayne has worked on my cars several times and also on my family's cars based on my recommending him. He does a much better job than any other garage in town and his prices are fair. I would recommend him highly. Thank you! read more

I was referred to this auto service by another garage that I trust. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par and ended up costing me a bunch. I went to them to have my rear rotors and brake pads replaced. I thought they had done a okay job, because they took me in the same day and had the work done by the next day. The brakes didn't make any noise and were functioning well, but they returned the van to me reeking of cigarette smoke. At that point, I would have left an overall positive review, but definitely would have dinged them a star for having smoked inside the van. Unfortunately, that would be the least of my troubles. A couple of weeks later, my wife picked up a huge shard of metal in a rear tire. When I went to put on the spare, I couldn't get the lug nuts off. I'm a big guy and struggled so hard I ended up breaking a decorative shiny cap off of one of the lug nuts, but still couldn't get the inner lug nut off. So I brought the car (on the flat) to a Shell service station a block away, to have them get it off. When the guys at the service station tried, they broke a socket trying to remove the nut. The Shell garage ended up having to drill out the stud to remove the nut, and replace the stud and all the rear lug nuts at a cost of $140. They told me that the lug nuts had DEFINITELY been over-tightened. When I brought the Shell receipt to Kings Auto Service, they a) denied responsibility, b) said that is how tight lug nuts are supposed to be, and c) refused to reimburse me for the removal/replacement of the damaged lug nuts and post. Since they are a small business and I wanted to show good faith and be flexible, I even offered to accept future maintenance or repair work as reimbursement, but they still refused. In the end their position was that lug nuts are supposed to be tightened to the point that they can only be removed in a service garage. An that is just plain wrong, not to mention dangerous. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. They don't deserve your trust or your business, because they don't stand by their work or their customers. read more

Wayne is honest and is always very clear about what service he is performing. Even if your car's manufacturer recommends service, he won't automatically do it just to get the business. He'd rather send you away than do work that doesn't need to be done. He's prompt and quick, but to echo what a previous reviewer said, sometimes he doesn't call you so you do need to get a time estimate from him and call him to see if your vehicle is ready. read more

Come see my guy Wayne @ Kings auto service. They work on all makes and models doesn't matter if it's German America etc.. great prices and very timely when it comes to getting your vehicle back to you. I brought all my cars here from 2000 SS camaro 2014 dodge charger 97 Honda civic, And now my audi. Ladies I know you worry about mechanical shops getting over on you when you bring your car in. I promise you that won't happen here. Tell Wayne Football Player sent you and you will be taking care of. read more

At 4:00 on a Friday afternoon, I was stranded. When Wayne was replacing my thermostat, the housing broke. To make a long story short, life was no good for my Honda. Wayne got me set up in a local hotel, drove me there and got me home the next day. He sent a mechanic to a pick and pull on a Saturday for the housing. All this was done at a fair price and with more attention than I would have expected under the circumstances - especially for a stranger on a Friday night! read more

A screw wedged itself into my tire yesterday, so I needed to find the nearest garage before it wiggled its way out again and gave me a flat. Luckily, King's was right down the street. When we told him what happened, he dropped what he was doing, waved us in, and had us turn the wheel to face him. He repaired the tire, checked it, and filled all four tires with air. When we asked what we owed, he refused to take money for a small job, and insisted repeatedly it was on the house. The whole experience totally renewed my faith in humanity - he was just doing a service to be kind, and to welcome us to Sacramento. It speaks volumes for a business that relies on trustworthiness, too. I'll definitely be bringing my car back here for bigger issues in the future. read more

Wow! Kings Auto is the BEST! My minivan was a mess. It hit 100K miles and all of a sudden all types of things started happening. I did not want to go to the dealer so I decided to try this little place off Freeport Blvd just south of William Land Park. Wayne happily looked at my town and country van with the expertise of a well trained medical doctor. Like a physician he went through all of the symptoms of van was experiencing, asked me about its history, suggested a couple diagnostic tests and made recommendations. He consulted me on my options and provided a couple scenarios to choose from. He took the time to educate me on what was going on with my van. He was very honest about what he could fix and what he could not. He instructed me how to approach the dealer with a couple computer related items that they should correct. In the end, I had him complete all of the repairs of those items he could. He was fast, friendly and very affordable. Even when I thought I might have had a relapse with an issue, he happily looked at my van again, with no charge and gratefully the only issue was with me...not the van I would not hesitate to recommend Kings Auto Repair and only wish he would work on Saabs as well :-) read more

Wayne continues to keep my car healthy. His repairs have all worked flawlessly (brakes, balljoints, oil gaskets for leaks). His rates and repair options are very fair, give him a try! read more

The service desk is a mess and reminds me of a mad scientist at work! However....Wayne did a great job replacing my rear brakes on my Honda Pilot! Took the time to tell me a few other things that needed attention, and then diagnosed my ck engine light for free. What a guy! read more

Towed my 99 Honda CRV in on a Monday. On Tuesday morning, Wayne called t to tell me it was my starter, which I thought it was. Gave me an estimate, which was very reasonable, and by Tuesday afternoon my car was starting again. Not only did he take me home on Monday afternoon but he came and picked me up on Tuesday so I could get my car. This is definately my place for any auto repairs and I will highly recommend this business to all my friends. read more
