I took my car to Mike's to have a balky seat belt checked out. The owner, Riley, is kind and communicates well. After they checked out the mechanism and didn't find anything, they sprayed the latch with something that fixed the problem for no charge. Thanks Riley! read more

He cares that you rcar is fixed and you are satisfied. No nonsense approach. Off on Fridays. Fair prices and good work. Brian Jordan read more

Grateful beyond measure for Mike's auto repair! My rear drivers side window wouldn't roll up all of a sudden and this was when we were having pouring rain and storms! I went into work and asked a few coworkers if anyone could recommend a honest and reliable place to fix my car window. Jim immediately replied with YES! He said he had been going to Mike and Victorias for years and how there is no other place he would take his vehicles to. Victoria was super kind and friendly during our phone connection and initially said they were booked and weren't able to see me until the following week. When she realized the window was broken and that we were having a lot of rain she said I could bring the car in before closing time and they would see what they could do! The next day after I completed my work I had my window fixed and the communication from Victoria during the process was very much appreciated indeed! The trunk hood also was iffy and opening off and on with no rhyme or reason! Sometimes would open and sometimes would not. When it's completely broken and not able to open I am surely going to return and schedule an appointment with Victoria again. The kindness and reliability from this family business is truly appreciated! read more

Mike is a great mechanic.....trustworthy and honest and friendly guy. Vicotria is great right hand to Mike.....they have serviced my car for years. My husband who was a mechanic said to me if you need any work on your car take car to Mike's Auto Repair. My husband has passed, and Mike has answered so many questions........ :-) read more

The mechanic was very professional and did what he said he would do In the time he said he would do it. But the main thing was. I didn't have to take out a loan to get it done. Thank you, everybody at Mike's Auto. read more

Very disappointed I previously had given a 5 star review . A month ago I realized the work that I paid for didn't get done. I left my truck and a new hard to get wiring harness for the driver door to be installed. They didn't install the new harness they only spliced the old harness. Now it's failing again that's how I discovered the new harness never was installed. Of coarse Mike doesn't remember and will not pull the invoice and I can't find it yet. He even charged me for a part that he said broke when removing the door panel. He didn't remove the door panel. I have brought several cars for them to work on. Never again!! Shame on you Mike. read more

The AC in our 1996 Honda Accord quit during a heat wave. We took it to Mike and he fixed it up fast and for a fair price. Mike's will be our first stop the next time we have an issue with any of our vehicles. read more

My partner and I went and brought in a truck that we had bought with the intentions of re-building for 4-wheeling and mudding. After seeing all the positive reviews, we thought this would be the perfect place to not only bring it to, but to also help support a local business. We had experienced a parasitic power draw and mentioned that to Mike, along with asking him to check out the rest of the truck to see if there was anything else we needed to get fixed. We were surprised to get a call later telling us that there was no parasitic draw and that we shouldn't be wasting our money on the truck and to just get rid of it. We explained that we were wanting to rebuild and asked if he could please explain more why he felt that way. Instead all we got was a return call from his wife, that he wouldn't be working on the truck and that he was insisting that we come get the truck immediately. When we arrived, Mike was in the office and completely ignored us being there, while his wife handed us the keys. We ended up taking the truck to another mechanic who right away recognized the draw and helped us not only repair it, but also helped us do some replacement work on some other parts. While others seemed to have experienced positive service, unfortunately I cannot say the same. With all the 5 star reviews, I expected better customer service than what we experienced, but I'm leaving 2 stars here as they did not end up charging us for the time they took with our truck. read more

My family goes to Mike's and recommended this place to me. I can see why they've been loyal customer's here! Both Mike and Victoria were very helpful, accommodating, and kind. My Toyota had a bad oil leak that needed to be addressed. Regrettably, the repairs my car needed wouldn't have been able to be started for a little while due to staffing constraints. However, Mike graciously recommended another option that worked out great. (Thanks Mike!) Not only that, he replaced the oil in my car and charged me less than I was anticipating to pay for the inspection. Little acts of kindness like that stick with me and are greatly appreciated. As I said, I can see why my family takes their cars here. I would absolutely recommend this place and would happily come back for any future repair needs. read more

My front brakes started grinding and Mike's auto repair is just down the street from me. I called him early in the morning and he answered right away. He told me I could drop it off and he would fit me in in between appointments. He gave me an estimate and I told him I didn't have much money till the end of the week and I will get back to him. He called me not long later with a lower price just for me and even offered to have his wife drive me and my son home! When I dropped my car off the super sweet lady at the desk invited me and my son back to get a prize out of their cute little prize box! My son was so happy. My car was done in just a few hours and they even cleaned the brake dust off of my rims. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Our new go to mechanic! We bought a 2004 Toyota, Matrix, and wanted to have it serviced and checked out, as it is our new commuter car! Mike's did a full diagnostics up and down on the car, oil change, and air conditioning check. He was fair and VERY reasonably priced. He had the car in and out of the shop in one business day. We will definitely be using him again in the future with any car maintenance and issues we have for both our Matrix, and Highlander. read more

Highly recommended. I moved to Orangevale a year ago and came across Mikes Auto Repair and Im so glad that I did. Mike, the owner, also works on the cars. I can attest that he is an honest mechanic who does not rip people off. I know this because I have many cars and work on them myself. Im older now and don't like it and so I trust Mike to work on them for me when I get lazy. I'd recommend Mikes Auto Repair to anyone who doesn't know cars well and doesn't want to worry about being lied to about repairs that don't really need to be done. I like the shop ans it kind of reminds me of one of those old auto repair shops from the 1950s. Mike and his staff are very easy to talk to and you'll feel comfortable when you walk into the business. read more

I moved back to Cali with my beater Camry, let's say when I first started working after moving. Tight on money, needed car work. They worked with me a lot. Every month it seems I was in, random question, everything and they always helped, saved me money, and did the best they can. Always ready to answer random questions, now I have a great job and still am working on this car, gonna soon get a new one. And they will continue to help along the way. read more

Mike and his wife are sooo wonderful! They treat you like family, they are the type of people who truly care about you. We need more Mike and Victoria's in this world. Mike is honest and never rips you off. I am so grateful I found them. My boyfriend and I both take our cars here. I can't say enough about how amazing there business is! I truly appreciate them so so soooo much! If you want good honest work go see mikes auto repair! read more

i've known Mike for a couple of years through my employer, and he's a standup guy who is honest he does good quality work in a timely matter, and I would recommend him to anyone read more

Brought my car into the shop for the first time the other day. My normal go-to shop was booked out two weeks and I didn't have the time to wait for them. My experience at Mike's auto repair was great. They were very fair on their pricing and the communication was great as well. I would highly recommend them. read more

Mike and Victoria are top notch! Great to have a local honest mechanic that has so much experience. I had three mechanics try to repair my truck and were unable to find the problem. They all said it was electric and it would take hours to track down. I had my truck towed to Mike and he had it fixed in a day! Runs like a top and the entire bill was less than the diagnosis fee from the dealer. To diagnose, with parts and labor. Highly recommend using this shop to everybody. read more

Mike and Victoria were absolutely wonderful! My car was in a pretty decent accident and all the mechanical stuff on the passenger side was destroyed. He had to replace the control arm, hubs, tire rods , tire and honestly so much I can't remember. However what I do know is that they went above and beyond to help me. They even came by my house to get a look at the vehicle before I had it towed in. They were incredible honest and extremely fair with cost. I honestly feel like I got the better deal, other places had ball parked it at least twice as much as what I ended up paying with Mike. I had it towed in on a Friday and it was ready to go the following Thursday. If I ever have to have any work on my vehicle I will be bringing it to them! Thank you Mike and Victoria for being so kind, patient and doing a stellar job for me! read more

Mike and his wife are kind and helpful and don't take advantage of you. they are good people and honest. i recommend Mike Auto Shop to everyone who wants to repair their broken car they can be trusted read more

Mike was very honest and tried to save your money on unneeded repairs . My Lexus was leaking oil and dripping on the garage floor. The first car shop said it was leaking from companion racks and they wants $1000 to fix it. I brought my car to Mike for second opinion .After carefully observation , Mike found it was a leak head gasket and it was dropping on the companion racks . He fixed the head gasket and after 1 year from his fix , my car not dripping oil anymore. read more

Been going to Mike's for years. Victoria and Mike are great folks and super with the maintenance on my Tacoma. They go out of their way to help! read more

They caused damage to my vehicle, didn't notify me and when it was brought to their attention, they wanted to charge me to fix what they damaged. I took my vehicle to another shop where other things were brought to my attention like my ABS module being unplugged instead of actually being fixed. If you want a crook to work on your vehicle, charge you for services that aren't being completed, this would be the the place to go. read more

Mike was very accommodating and prompt with my car when I took it in. I asked around for a good place to take my new (to me) Kia Optima & was recommended Mike's by a trusted source. Mike and his wife are amazing, I wasnt sure how I was going to make the drop off work since I had to be on my way to work when they opened and was only available to pick it up once they were closed. Mike was available to meet me before they opened and met me back at the shop well after they were closed so I could pick my car up. Speedee would never be able to take such great care of my car nor would the dealership if I trusted them to. Everything looked perfect when I picked it up and she ran like gold. Thank you, Mike! read more

It really doesn't get any better. Mike and Victoria are awesome. They take amazing care of my mom's 1994 Buick and I always end up feeling like they haven't charged me enough! Very homey atmosphere, too! read more

Awesome shop. Great work done right and very honest.

Brought my 2003 Trailblazer in for a water pump noise. I figured it was going out and Mike quickly confirmed it. He replaced the water pump, the fan clutch assembly (as recommended by Chevrolet), and had it ready to go in less than a day. His charges were less than 1/2 of what a dealer quoted me. I drove it to Tahoe the next day and have put on 1,000 miles since the repair, and there are no leaks, noises, or problems. To top it off, Mike and his wife are awesome people. Great experience, I highly recommend Mikes Auto Repair to anyone. Thx Mike! read more

A couple of weeks ago I ran over a tree stump that had fallen off a truck. Although I made it home ok, a few days later when I first moved the car, the transmission was slipping. A friend of mine recommended Mike's Auto Repair so I took it in. The first thing I noticed was the "Please wear a mask," notice on the door. That made me happy. Victoria was very nice and Mike was a hoot! I had my little dog, Scruff, with me. After slowly approaching their cat, the cat took a swipe at Scruff, so Victoria gave Scruff a dog treat, being sure to point out to me that she'd looked at the ingrediants, carefully, and assured me that the treat was "quality." Later, Scruff found one of the cats toys and Victoria insisted that she take it with her as an apology for her cat's behavior! Although I've only driven it a few miles since picking it up, all seems fine - Mike even heated up and reshaped the front spoiler that was banged in during the accident. They got it back to me a day earlier than promised and were 10% under the estimated price. Besides being professional, they were very nice people and although I don't look forward to having more car problems, I will look forward to seeing them ! read more

My husband, Joel, has been taking our cars here for the last couple years. Mike and his wife are gems. Very generous and do great work. Thank you! read more

My experience at Mike's Auto Repair was first rate. His work was fast and very reasonably priced for the work performed. They were also nice to deal with so I recommend that you give them a try. read more

I now live over 90 miles away from Mike's Auto Repair, I still take my car to Mike for automotive service. The above statement should be an indicator of how good this shop is. And if that isn't convincing enough, see my prior review for an amazing example of how Mike saved me $900 several years ago by replacing a fuse. I recently took my car into Mike to have him look over another mechanic's work and let me know if there was any problems with the car (the other mechanic is located in Martinez where I live now, but I was concerned about some engine roughness and an intermittent ticking noise that appeared after taking it to the other mechanic). Victoria (Mike's wife and office manager) was extremely nice, provided excellent customer service, and scheduled a time to bring the car in. Mike thoroughly examined the car and let me know that the motor mounts may be shot, but that it didn't appear that there was anything wrong otherwise. He didn't try to pressure me to replace them, he didn't speak badly of the work the other mechanic did, he just gave it to me straight in his typical down to earth, personable manner. Since moving away from Sacramento, I have had the opportunity to experience several other mechanics in my new home town, many of those mechanics are 4 and 5 star mechanics based on dozens of Yelp reviews. To put it simply, Mike and Victoria are in another league from every other mechanic I have ever encountered. Mike just doesn't have any equal in the automotive repair world, and believe me I have looked. The only problem I have is that I can't clone Mike and Victoria and have them set up shop where I live now. read more

We love taking our cars to Mike! He is honest about what you do or do not need for your car. We even take any cars that we may be thinking of purchasing to him! We trust him 100%! I would give him 20 stars if I could! read more

My 2004 Camry was recently serviced at Mike's other/new location at 225 Q Street. As a single woman I am very skeptical of car repair services, and happily have been convinced this is the only repair shop for me. They even showed me my car's engine where work needed to be done. Repairs previously advised by EG Toyota advised unnecessary. Staff the best. If you value integrity, go to Mike's Auto Repair. Randy W read more

We have brought our cars to Mike to get fixed going on 2 yrs. We have always been really happy with all of his work. He has made us feel very welcome everytime we walk in the door. We will be doing business with Mike for many more yrs. Great work, fair pricing, great customer service. Oh, I dont want to forget about his wife Victoria.. Always helpful, and calls back with info about your car promptly. Thank you Mike and Victoria for taking such good care of us. read more

Mike is very fair and reasonable. He's honest as well. I wish I'd discovered him earlier. His wife is a great front office addition. She's very kind and helpful. read more

Mike and his wife are awesome! He's worked on my old truck a bunch of times and my newer Camry as well. When I have an emergency he always does his best to fit me in and his prices are great. There also happens to be some very adorable feral cats nearby that often get fed outside Mike's shop, while this doesn't help my truck it does make me smile :) read more

Victoria (in the office) and Mike (in the shop) are the auto repair Dynamic Duo. Victoria keeps you apprised of what's happening and Mike seems to come up with a way to save the customer $$$. Thank you Dynamic Duo ps. My entire family goes to Mike: my Uncle, my Aunt, my Mom and my Daughter. I can't think of a stronger endorsement. read more

Never ever trusted a mechanic like I trust Mike. Fast efficient and guarantees his work So glad I found them!

If I can give them 10 stars and draw little and big hearts on this review, I would. I know nothing of car engines. I only know how to drive (but I can drive stick and know how to downhill-push start a manual car all by my lonesome. But that's as far as my badassery on cars go). So when my husband was away for work and my new-to-me Prius maintenance light went on, I panicked. I went on yelp and read through various reviews on businesses that can handle a prius. Mike's Auto's reviews always had the word honest. So I called and spoke with the ever lovely and wonderful Victoria. She told me what the light meant, what to expect, and how much to expect to pay. It's been almost 4 years since then and the relationship we all share keeps getting better and better. Their shop is 10miles from my home but seriously - I would never trade distance for trustworthiness, impeccable work, and the cherry on top of how they just go above and beyond what is necessary every time I come in. Even my husband was very impressed with them and he's a build-my-own-car kind of guy. Thank you thank you thank you to Mike and Victoria! You are such a bright and shiny gem to the community. read more
