There's a reason why I've never stopped going here for all of my cars & the same goes for my parents. This place has become my family's go-to mechanic as my grandma also goes here now after we recommended she take the over 30-year old car with over 200,000 miles on it here as she refused to give up on getting it fixed. My grandma's previous mechanic failed/refused to repair it but United Auto took on the beast of a job & got it done. The owner Teddy even towed her car from her house to their shop & back for free whenever a new issue occurred while she's at home or work rather than her taking it over herself & getting a ride as she's the only driver in her household; also giving her discounts throughout the process. They also replaced an entire engine in my Mom's car. The team at United Auto Repair do a wonderful job on all of my family's different types & ages of cars. They are genuinely good people that make me feel like I'm not being ripped off as their prices seem reasonable to me; a person who is sort of a car-fanatic. I feel like my cars are in good hands in their care & my family & I will continue to recommend them to our family & friends the same way I'm recommending them to the reader of this lengthy feedback.

AAMCO Transmission & Total Car Care - Manager Brandon…read more I've owned my Montero Sport for 25 years. She's more than just a vehicle--she's carried me through some of the hardest chapters of my life. Earlier this year, I began experiencing issues: the check engine light came on, and at residential speed, it felt like someone had hit me from behind--though no one was around. I took my vehicle to a shop I'd previously used for routine maintenance. After a diagnostic, they told me I needed a new transmission, quoting me over $5,000. What followed was nearly three months of delays, incorrect parts, excuses, and ultimately a suggestion to "graveyard" my Montero. I refused. My vehicle still had life in her, and I wasn't about to let go without a real solution. Searching online, I found AAMCO. While I was hesitant due to mixed reviews, I called and spoke with Manager Brandon. From the first conversation, he was respectful, professional, and kind. I explained everything I had gone through. He offered me a clear estimate, assured me they had financing options, and most importantly--he listened. From start to finish, Brandon kept me informed every step of the way. All communication was remote ~ I never stepped foot in the shop--but I always felt like my vehicle was in good hands. After just two weeks, my Montero was up and running smoothly, for a Catalytic Converter replacement and the cost was nowhere near what the previous shop had quoted. Even better, Brandon made sure my vehicle was safely secured for pickup after hours. I'm big on customer service, and I can truly say I was treated with dignity and care throughout this process. Brandon, thank you sincerely ~you are deeply appreciated for helping me through what had become an exhausting ordeal. You and your team at AAMCO restored my trust and brought my Montero back to life. I will absolutely return here for any future repairs, and I highly recommend speaking with Brandon if you're in need of honest and efficient service. Thank you again, Brandon. -- Jamaca'

They did an inspection and performed the repair very quickly.

I found Golden State to be much more trustworthy than the dealership and I'll definitely be returning for routine maintenance in the future.

I called SDS ahead of time to coordinate and they said to bring it in and they could take a look at it. After the car was dropped off by the tow truck, THEN they said they would charge me $260 to run diagnostics on the electrical system. That would have been nice to know before it was unloaded from the tow truck, or I would have taken it somewhere else. I told them I wouldn't pay that and that $100 would be more reasonable. With no hesitation he dropped his price to $175 (still way too much). Clearly, they are charging whatever they think they can get away with and hope you don't speak up. From that point on, I could see there was no reason to trust these guys. The next day, they quoted me $500 for a new battery install and they said that the rear brakes are metal on metal and need to be replaced now. They quoted me battery and brakes replacement combined at $1100. So I drove down, had them jumpstart the car and I drove it to my mechanic in Folsom. He didn't charge me anything to run the diagnostic, and confirmed it needed a new battery but said that I had a few 1000 more miles remaining on the brakes. I went ahead and replaced the battery and the rear brakes for $720 total. Best case, SDS is just way overpriced and exaggerate a little on needed repairs. Hopefully they treat their regular customers better than people in an emergency.
