    Let me share you my story…read more We were on a road trip from the SF Bay Area to Seattle and back. That's about 2000 miles (probably more including the side trips). Needless to say, I had our diesel BMW X5 checked before leaving the Bay Area. When we got to Redding, CA, the dreaded check engine light (CEL) came on. So, we were frantic not knowing what was wrong with our car. Also, we had no idea what shop to go to. Can we find somebody knowledgeable and with the right equipment to work on a diesel X5? Can we find somebody honest enough who'll tell us exactly what's wrong and not charge us an arm and a leg? The universe must have been on our side because we found Steven, the manager (or owner) of Angelo's Classic Import. With Steven, all our fears were gone. They have a very updated shop with all the equipment needed to diagnose our car's problems. We found a very honest person in Steven who charged us honestly. (Turned out the issue was minor and he charged us only $20!) How I wish his shop is in the Bay Area because I would drive the whole length of the Bay Area just to have the privilege of me becoming his client for life! Try his shop and I'm sure you'll experience the same type of excellent Customer Service as I did! Thank you Steven for your service!

    Excellent work by RTS! I was out working in the foothills and hit a rock, puncturing the…read moretransmission pan. I am from southern california. I called around and got Mike who told me to bring it in, they are busy but it might be a quick fix. Paul got involved and did a careful diagnosis of the problem. The pan of course needed to be replaced. More importantly another part inside was bent, and if they could not fix it, I would need a new valve body, the part cost over $1,100 and would take a week to deliver, which Paul thought was ridiculous. He took this on as a challenge to fix the transmission parts without buying a new valve body. He worked hard on it, and in the end was successful! I saved a bunch of money, and they got me back on the road home. Great work, and much appreciated!

She lives in very rural Siskiyou County. Paul and his crew did a very cost effective rebuild of her transmission in a timely manner. The transmission has been working great for the past two years of heavy use. When we were at the shop for the above repair, we saw many friends coming in for repairs to their vehicles as well. Talked with our friends and found that they have been using RTS exclusively for years. They are all very happy with the work, pricing, and helpfulness. So when the transmission on my truck suddenly went out without warning on our wedding day, we knew where we would be taking the truck. Once again, Paul did a quality repair for a very fair price in a timely manner. Highly recommended!

Tried a number of transmission shops and only Frank with California Transmissions was willing to help without several days of delay. Frank prioritized my repair, worked late into the night and got me back on the road. I can't say enough about his responsiveness, mechanical expertise and dedication. He is an honest, reasonably priced, skilled mechanic, and a genuine human being!!!!

But as luck would have it we were a few blocks from California Transmissions and I was able to limp my Chevy Z71 in on the transfer case. (4WD, locked in first gear) It was Saturday afternoon and "Frank" was up to his elbows in another transmission. He listened to my sob story and quoted a fair price for a complete rebuild. We left my truck with him and his help gave us a ride to Enterprise for a rent-a-dent. Monday afternoon I returned my rental and hung out in the shop while Frank installed my rebuilt transmission. Let me tell you, this is not shade tree mechanic's work. I was impressed by the skill and professional integrity I was privy to. The shop floor may be a mess, but the work coming out of it is first class. We live on a mountain top outside of Weaverville and we'd have been stranded this winter without our 4WD truck. Thanks to California Transmissions we haven't missed a beat.

I bought very expensive aftermarket bulbs but discovered the front bumper must be removed to change the light housing which I also wanted to replace. I saw this body shop had high stars on Yelp so I called to ask if they would perform the work. Their immediate response was "no" and "we don't do that kind of work and only install OEM components." I kindly asked " do you recommend anyone else that will do this work for me?". Immediate "nope, you'll just have to call around" They were about as helpful as a broken fence post and could care less in my opinion. My next phone call was to Underhood Automotive. Immediately helpful and professional. Chris said they do this kind of work all the time and install DOT legal headlights on older Shasta County Search and Rescue vehicles. Every single question I asked was answered. I live 4 hours away from Redding so coordinating this was somewhat of a Challenge. Chris even told me my mom's car had loud squeeking brakes and he would inspect those as well. Strong Automotive has high stars so I'm guessing their body work is pretty good but customer service is also very important and in this department, they have a long way to go.

    On our way up to Redding for vacation the check engine light came on in my 2013 Honda Pilot. We…read morewere driving from the Bay Area and I was concerned that I would have car problems while on vacation and not know the area. When I called Redding Crown Honda, I got no help unless I wanted to pay to have the car checked. This was not an option since the car was just at Dublin Honda 7 days prior for diagnostics and repair. Why would I pay to have the car checked again? I called Dublin Honda, hoping they would work with Crown Honda, and get it checked for free. Guess what? Dublin Honda doesn't warranty their work, just the part. I ended up going to an O'Reilly Auto Parts store in Redding. A nice man checked the car for free but unfortunately he couldn't get a read from the car's computer. He recommended I go see Norm and spoke highly of him. Norm took a look at the car for free, gave me a recommendation, reset the computer and sent me on my way. He was so nice, respectful, and understanding. He took the stress away while on vacation and for that I'm so grateful. We need more men like Norm, in this world, especially in the world of auto repair. Thank you Norm!!

I didn't want to make another local appointment to drop my vehicle off and have it serviced whenever someone got around to it. So, based on positive reviews, I took a chance on making an appointment with Norm's and drove there for service. There was a miscommunication on my model but Norm ordered and received the correct parts in town quickly once that was resolved. I was able to drive away in a couple of hours and arrived back home by the afternoon. It was no hassle at all. Norm took a couple of minutes at the end to explain to me how I could do some more visual diagnostics on the vehicle myself, quickly pointing out a few relevant parts with his flashlight. He obviously didn't have to do that, but this is going to save me a lot of time later. The prices were very fair. When I looked up the services on Google for approximately what they should cost, Norm charged me around that amount. He also said for some things he wouldn't charge too much extra for if I wanted them done at the same time. This was much different than places I am used to who will charge me twice for taking apart the same thing once. Even with $50 in gasoline, the service was very affordable. I'll be spending all my vehicle maintenance budget with Norm as long as his business is still open. I'd be confident to recommend this business to anyone who has a Honda. My vehicle now runs a lot better than it did before and I feel like the money I spent went to someone who deserves it for quality work and excellent customer service.
