Great, honest mechanics. They will do the job right. Wont try to cheat you out of repairs your vehicle doesn't need. And will charge an honest amount for the work. read more

We LOVE this place. So, Roach has been taking care of all of our cars since we have lived in here is SD (over 13 years) and before that he has taken care of my friend's parent's car (over 20+ years). They are good guys we don't really take you for $$. Many times I have brought a car in thinking it would be a couple hundreds dollars and they were able to fix it for less then $30....or free sometimes :) read more

Best Of The Best! Old School Values We've been going to Roachs' automotive service since our mechanic retired. Our mechanic recommended; and if there's any question of integrity, you'll see after your first interaction. They're honest and back up all their work. The owner brings me home while they work on my car and he's in his 80's. It's family owned and operated. Strict business values that go by reputation not a chain name; so they have all to win; or lose; and they're winners. read more

These guys know what they're doing! I was completely unaware of what was wrong with the car and he ran diagnostics for me, before I dropped it off!! They're so friendly and helpful, making sure I understood everything that needed to be done. Even so much so, that they called before pickup and found I had somehow ran through all my oil and let me know they're be checking a few other items so it would take a little longer! We have an older Camry and I just trust that these guys know exactly what they're doing and will tell it to you straight!!! read more

The dealership was going to charge me $1600 because my control arm bushing was torn. Steve took a look and told me that they didn't need to be replaced at all and could last me a couple more years. He replaced the bulbs in my tail light and noticed that my key fob was no longer working and fixed that for me too. everything cost under $100.I love this place! Steve was so honest and so informative about why everything would have cost so much if I did have to get the control arm replaced, and he was very very helpful. I will definitely be coming back read more

We've been coming here for probably 20 years by recommendation of my in-laws who have been coming here long before. If continuing to utilize a recommendation from in-laws isn't testament enough... I'll go on. We do not live close to Roach's. We admit we have tried other mechanics with great reviews near us. Simply put, no one is as good as Roach's. Roach's is always the best. They are not "Part Swappers".... they do not replace an entire system when there is a loose wire. They diagnose one area, and the next, and the next, quickly and responsibly. They are stewards of time and very efficient. They care about the customer. Ultimately this saves money. We most recently had estimates on our AC. We had tried multiple mechanics near us with great reviews. They had their ideas and kept our car for days trying to diagnose what was wrong. They gave us quotes that seemed high. In our own research, it didn't add up. In a quick overnight, Roach's had diagnosed and found the exact problem. There was no need to spend hundreds extra on possibilities, just the amount for what needed to be fixed. We have always driven away paying half of what other mechanics had quoted with a bad diagnosis. We have always driven away not just satisfied, but overwhelmingly grateful for good people. These are the people that let you know the future of the world is going to be ok. I mean that! They put their heads down and work. They are quiet and let there actions speak with a smile. Lastly, we came here as kids. We were young. We started a family young. We didn't have a lot. When we had car trouble we didn't have the luxury of paying extra to mechanics who didn't know what they were doing. I'm sitting in the Roach's parking lot right now typing out this review because I truly feel like this business has continued to help us get through the difficult times of our life by simply being 'good people'... we didn't ask for anything, they were just good. I do actually mean they were incredibly-amazing-don't-go-anywhere-else-pure-gold-#1-service-ever 'good'. This is 100% a 5 star review and 100% a thank you!! (also, my in-laws are actually really cool.) read more

As a single lady this place is like taking your car to your dads. They only do what they need to and I don't feel like I'm being hustled. Finally found a shop I'll be taking my car to for a long time. read more

Just got my 4runner back from Steve & the guys at Roach's & they're the best!! It wouldn't pass smog so I drove right over to there to asked Steve to check it out....he ended up having it for 2 weeks, but it drives great now. Before I took it in it was surging when I would step on or off the gas & now it's as smooth as can be & the best part is he kept bring it in to the smog shop & fixing whatever was wrong until it passed--BUT NOT WITHOUT CALLING & TELLING ME FIRST WHAT HE WAS DOING & HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE!! I had to spend a pretty penny, but it was well worth it & we won't go anywhere else, ever. Thanks Steve! read more

Working with Steve at Roach's Automotive was truly a great experience.. Kids are in college in San Diego. While mom and dad are in Sacramento area. Had Triple A auto club tow a car to the shop. Steve and his crew were able to get car repaired quickly. In this day and age its very hard to find a great, honest shop.. Well that's exactly what Roach's Auto is !!!!! read more

Only place to ever bring your car or truck. They did an awesome job with the engine in my Ramcharger. I tell all my friends and family to go there. They don't screw you over on price. very nice people to work with. Never a bad experience trust me your in good hands with these guys. read more

Roach has been my family's mechanic for the past 16 years! I've been living in LA for 6 years now and can't find an honest mechanic like Roach. My family trusts them with every car we've owned. read more

Bought a used 01 Sequoia for cheap. It had a bad cat and oil leak; they fixed both for very reasonable prices and didn't BS about anything. In fact he told me I could drive it with no real problems with the minor oil leak it had and that I didn't even need to repair it. I insisted and he gave me a very reasonable price. read more

We've been taking our cars to Roach's (Mike and Steve) for a few years now. Everything from electrical issues with a Dodge Caravan to pre-purchase inspections on a used car I haven't found a reason to think about looking for another shop. Knowing I can get my car in and out in generally a few hours if not the next day (usually based on when I dropped it off and part availability) keeps me coming back when trouble strikes. read more

My wife and I have been bringing our cars to Mike and Steve for more than 10 years now and would not trust our cars with anyone else. Finding a good mechanic is like finding a good medical doctor. If you find a good one you stick with them. We live less than a block from a franchise auto service shop but we would rather travel the 28 miles to Roach's Automotive and get things done right. The service is friendly, the advice is honest and their prices are very reasonable. read more

Roach's was recommended to me by a friend. After visiting one auto repair shop that examined my problem and told me that the repair would be lengthy and costly, I went to Roach's. After about 10 minutes they had fixed the problem to the tune of $10. My jaw almost dropped. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anybody. read more

Excellent service. Very knowledgeable. Always quick and done right. Been taking our cars here since we moved to SD a few years ago. Highly recommended. read more

I'm 27 years old. My family has been trusting Mike and Steve with our cars since before I was born, back when they were a 76 station! That might show you my bias, but hopefully, more so just how good they are and how much we trust them. We've gotten some loyalty points, from 7-8 cars worth and 27 years worth of service, so they have always taken care of us, and always go an extra mile to find the part we need asap and get our cars turned around as fast as possible. They checked out some used cars for us before servicing, saved us quite a bit of hassle, and then never charged us (I can't say you'll get the same treatment though) read more

This place is the BEST! Finally an honest mechanic shop! We won't take our cars anywhere else. They are friendly, good, and they don't try to take advantage of you. read more

We have been using Roach automotive for 11 years after a friend recommended them. They are honest, and reasonable and we wouldn't go any where else. read more

Been going to Roach's for over 10 years now. Very honest and friendly. They are straight up with you and do not try to sell you something that you don't have to have done. Many times have brought in my car thinking it would cost a bundle, but they have managed to fix it for a fraction of what I thought it was going to be. If you find something isn't right (rare), I just call them up and they say to bring it back. Was purchasing a very old first car for my daughter and had them check it out. I will definitely continue to take my car here. read more

These guys have been taking care of my families vehicles for longer than i've been alive, that's 28 years ya'll! Mike and Steve, family operation treat your cars... well, better than you probably did! What's remarkable is they have had the oppurtunity to ask for so much more than what they do. When I've been in bind myself, they seem to really make it worth it to me to keep using them, and find some reason to charge me less than what they intially told me. After any replacement, they always keep the part to show you why it's bad. When getting my first car, they did a look over for a potential buy, basically told me to not to buy it, and then wouldn't take any money when we tried to pay them. We brought them something else and they admitted that for a lot of what that car does enginewise they can't work on, but said all around it was ok. Again, wouldn't take our money. Now I wouldn't promise they do that for everyone, but these guys are probably the most honest and trustworthy guys out there. Sometimes they do forget to call you as soon as your car is ready, if it's a same day expected deal. But I can't tell you how many times they needed a part and Mike or Steve would run around town, get what was needed, and still finish the fix before closing time. Recently, i called them 15 minutes before they closed, and Steve said he'd take a look at it, and it took me about 20 minutes to get there, he spent another 15-20 tinkering and testing it. I'm glad my parents found these guys and i've been able to trust them ever since! read more
