Brought my car in for CATs. It was a big job due to my make/model. It required them dropping the motor for access. I love my car and I'm glad to have found Scotty's. They are easy to contact, explain repairs in easy to understand terms, the repair is done right, and you feel like you're in good hands. read more

Scottys Automotive - Surgery - Auto Repair Near Me - Orangevale, California

I highly recommend these guys. They do quality, honest work and give genuine advice regarding repairs. I've been coming here for years for oil changes and diagnostic check-ups for my car and each time they have gotten it back to me same-day with a detailed list of all possible repairs that could be done as well as their verbal recommendations for which should be tackled first. You can tell they are good people after one visit alone - they sometimes have a sweet golden retriever named Mac who is well-mannered and keeps the vibes of their AC'd office room nice and chill. Will definitely be back and highly recommend Scotty's Automotive to those looking for trustworthy service work for their vehicles! read more

Excellent job got at finish the same day..Scottysat all times very friendly and trustworthy

Got an oil change servicing my truck. Professional, timely and efficient, same day call and serviced. Thank you!

Noticed a knock in the right rear quarter of our second car. I can't do the work because of recent heart surgery so we asked Scotty's to take a look at it. It was a loose shock, and they fixed it quickly and honestly. I have gone to them before, and would recommend them to anyone who needs a good shop to care for their car(s). read more

I've been using Scotty's for a few years now. Every person I've dealt with provided superior customer service, but I deal with Nick most often. He needs a halo above his head and a big fat raise. That man shows real empathy. The first time I called Scotty's I remember crying on the phone. Nick was patient and calming. He explained everything and answered all my questions. My car was fixed and every repair they did worked and never gave me trouble afterwards. That was 3 or 4 years ago. My car is old and has many miles on it so I decided to trade it in for a new one. Of course the thermostat decided to stick. Nick squeezed me in for that repair super quickly so I could do the trade-in. I also use Scotty's for my company's fleet vehicle repairs. They charge much less than the dealership and are more honest about repairs that are needed. Do not hesitate to use Scotty's. They are honest and do a great job for a fair price. 10 stars if I could do it! read more

I miss jon. he was honest and I could trust his diagnostic . This new crew seems only in how much money they can make you pay.

I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty & I love her. Yes, I am one of THOSE. She is 15 years old, bought used to teplace one that an idiot made a uturn into and totaled. Broke my heart til we found this baby. She kept killing brand new batteries, which AAA kept replacing every 5 days. The alternator was 14 mos old and all the lights were off. Took the girl into Scottys and these guys ARE THE PROs. Less than two hours later, they found the culprit. Some bozo aftermarket installed an alarm system, kept the remote & didn't tell anyone about it. It was shorting out the system. Bummer dudes. Seriously. Hats off to Scottys at Illinois & Greenback. read more

I highly recommend this place and I will tell my whole family about Scotty's! They have superb customer's service, great prices, extremely helpful and knowledgeable and it's obvious they care about their customers. I was very happy to stumble on to this place when both of my headlights went out. I visited 3 other places in the area first, and I felt like these places didn't want to or really even try to help me, but Scotty's cared and helped me right away. Thank you Scotty's! Definitely go to Scotty's! read more

Shout out to some amazing mechanics and the most honest and friendly service. Everything was communicated very well and their honesty of what needed to be repaired and what didn't was commendable. I greatly appreciate an honest shop, read more

The shop was recommended to me. I had no expectations other than it was another mechanic. I was soooooo wrong! Scottys is a very professional and honorable facility with extremely good staff. I fell into the snooty thought that nobody but the dealer could service my car like the dealer could! As an owner of a Range Rover and a lifelong fan of Neillo, I am overwhelmed to share my extreme pleasure with the work integrity of the Scottys staff. I have attempted to schedule a simple oil change and to check out a service light with the dealer. I have called and left numerous messages - none of which have been returned by the Neillo staff! On the contrary, I called at 4:00 on Wednesday night and was told "we'd be happy if you brought in the Rover tomorrow morning." I arrived about 10:00 and told them of my concerns and desires. Not only did they complete servicing the Rover by 3:00 the same day, they cleared the errors that were appearing and charged an extremely fair price, perhaps not enough. Regardless, my vehicle was serviced immediately, the team was professional and clean, there was no games or gouging happening. I cannot recommend enough the value provided for the service performed. It's too bad more Range Rover customers don't look past the dealer for a quality mechanic. Because they can be found and I attest that I will be a customer of Scotty's for years to come! Thanks Bill and Chris! read more

So I recommended my Father-in-Law to take his Lexus in after the dealer wanted $5,000 to replace his bent gas tank. Scotty found only the tank's guard was bent. Simply removed it and hammered it back straight & reinstalled it. Then sent him on his way. 20 minutes. No charge. Yup, he's still got it. read more

I've been to Scotty's many times and Im always happy with the honest service. My whole family gets their cars taken care of there.

Great service, great people. Reliable, friendly and worth the time taking your vehicle to them. You know it will be done right and can rely on their service. read more

Go to Les Schwab. They go the extra mile and they're a reputable business. At least you can get a warranty at Les Schwab and feel safe knowing they'll take care of you.. I am all about supporting local businesses, but when it comes to your vehicle you're better off going to someone reputable read more

We live just two Blocks away from the Illinois location. being a woman I get conned a lot when shopping around for car repairs but they have never made Me feel like I'm being taken advantage of. , I take my Lexus, and will be bringing my moms magnum in after mothers day. read more

So I took my Lexus GS 350 to the Dealer last week for a oil change and detail. They did great as usual but told me my rear brakes were done at 2 mm and I had a frozen caliper $1190... I love their service but not shop rates so I declined. I scheduled and dropped it off at Scotty's Auto in OV this morning for rear brakes as they have always treated me right. Got a call later saying my caliper is frozen but they are soaking in oil trying to free it. Said prob not going to work and total might be $590 (just half of Dealer). I said okay if needed as I need brakes. (Figured it was a done deal since I approved) Got a call from John an hour later, said he had bad news as they WONT be selling me new calipers today as they got it freed. Total $270 vs $1190! I highly recommend them and would send my Mom there if needed! Scotty's Auto on the corner of Greenback and Illinois in Orangevale. read more

I went to the shop on Illinois Avenue to get a Smog Certification for one of our company vehicles. I haven't written many reviews, but John and Daniel provided such a great experience I had to share. I want to start off by saying that this is the first auto shop I've ever been to that had a clean and comfortable lobby area! They provide a really nice waiting environment and finish up their work fast! Even though their shop was pretty busy, they both provided excellent customer service and were genuinely nice people! I left about an hour ago and have already recommended them to a handful of people that I work with. Thank you both! read more

My car was serviced at Scotty's. The service was 5 star. Scotty's was recommended by another local auto repair nearby. That says it all. I was impressed by not only the quality of work performed but also the knowledgeable staff. The courteous demeanor is something missing by many local service businesses. I will be back. read more

I got a quote for oil pan work on my 2006 Mercury Montego a week ago. First of all, they were able to do the work with the threads in the drain plug so my bill was less than the original quote. Daniel on the front desk explained everything to me on what was done and in a way I could understand him. My car has has excellent care and I wanted to get the work done on it and they completed all the work early. I feel I can trust Scottys and would return to them for automotive work. Thanks for being an honest and fair pricing to boot ! I would also trust them to do a diagnostic on any used car that I was going to purchase too. read more

Thank u Chris ordered my car tail light from dealership! Install part within 4 days! read more

See all

Thank you so much everyone for helping us find out why our 2006 Jeep Liberty was not starting. We appreciate your service.

Just started going here after our normal mechanic switched owners and we weren't happy with the new service. These guys are honest and busy. Busy to me means that others trust them, so that's a win for me. When you don't know anything about cars, it's nice to feel like someone is taking care of you. read more

I brought in my 2007 honda pilot with air con issues. They diagnosed the issue, fixed it in a timely manner, and kept me up to date on the process. All for a fair price! Now my air con is working just in time. Will definitely go back! read more

Long overdue review but I've been meaning to give Scotty's my 5 stars forever now. Had to drop by here suddenly when the metal plate on the bottom of my car detached on one side and was dragging. Searched for the nearest auto shopped and found this place. They quickly took me in, as soon as they opened, fixed the plate in a matter of 10-15 minutes and sent me off. I happened to forget my wallet at the time (hot mess morning) and owner told me to not worry about and just drive safely. Kindest people!! Months and months later, I'm still thinking about how Scotty's saved the day! read more

I would give it a four star but ran into some issues and service writer was not really willing to deal with the issue caused by them Owner is a nice guy and I understand being a shop owner it is not always the owner fault! I do recommend them but double check the work they performed! read more

If you ever need anything done to your car, they will help you and exceed your expectations. As soon as I walked in the door I felt at ease. Being a woman, I was nervous to go into a repair shop and give my attempt at describing my issue, but John at the front counter did nothing but make me feel comfortable. They fixed the issue for way less than other shops and were able to explain why the problem started and how I could prevent it. Words cannot describe how happy I am with them. I would never even consider going anywhere else, and they will be getting recommendations for all my friends and family. Thanks Scotty's! read more

My mother in law took her car in to get the A/c fixed they charged her 600 dollars because they said she needed a part she got the car back and it was hot She took it back they wanted to charge her another 500 dollars she left look it over to another son in law the Compressor was unplugged and Freon was at 53% will will never go there again read more

A trustworthy mechanic shop that any woman can feel comfortable walking into alone knowing she won't be scammed!

My husband has gone here a few times and suggested I call when my car was having issues. I called, got my car in right away before they closed. Received a call promptly the next morning with what was wrong and how quickly it would take to fix and a quote right up front. Everyone from Daniel at the counter to John, I believe the manager there, were very courteous, informative and friendly. I highly recommend coming here and will continue to bring our family cars when needed. read more

Scotty's provides great service. My GF has been bringing her cars here for several years and they have always provided reliable service at good rates. I recently brought my truck in for a catalytic converter replacement and the job was done in 1 day at a great rate. I also like that they provide over the phone estimates and called throughout the day to provide service updates. read more

My father took his vehicle into Scotty's 3 times in two weeks and they couldn't resolve a 'check engine' problem but they were fine to charge him labor and parts each time. He finally took the car to AAA auto repair and they were able to finally resolve the problem. read more

Once again John comes through with flying colors, always treated well, even when the calls are coming in hot and heavy. Daniel on the front desk is top notch, and so are the mechanics. read more

This place is a scam, I chose this business through yelp. My vehicle check engine light alerted me and I took my vehicle to Scottys Automotive for an engine analysis ($120.00). I was initially informed that a air oxygen valve needed replacement and a total of $420.00 that I agreed too. I was later contacted and advised that my radiator had a leak, which had nothing to do with my check engine light. Suspicious as I was, the business owner said to me that he would investigate the matter and would get back to me. To date, no one has contacted about my suspicious radiator leak. I was told that my radiator replacement would cost me $410.00 that never was the complaint. It's hard too find an honest mechanic shop, I warn everyone, don't go there!! read more

These guys really go above and beyond in the auto biz. So happy to have found them. I no longer live in Roseville but went to Scotty's for many years before moving to Los Angeles. I always was treated kindly and given good service with reasonable prices. They were my go-to. I recently had a car problem in Los Angeles and took it to my local dealership. I was quoted an insanely high price for parts and service (higher than most already-inflated dealer prices). I didn't know what to expect so I called Scotty's for a second opinion. Tony was so generous and didn't hesitate to give me his advice on the problem. He confirmed I was getting totally ripped off. I'm so grateful to have a car repair shop I can actually trust. Really appreciate Scotty's kindness and customer service-- it's rare these days! Thanks Tony and thanks to the crew at Scottys! read more

As good as it gets it right!! I was referred to Scotty's by a native of Orangevale, CA whose dad was a mechanic and who had been coming here for years. As my Dad was a mechanic as well, I am not totally illiterate when it comes to cars. Have found Scotty's good for all types of automotive issues and reliable diagnosis as to problem. They also do smog certififcation and I feel more comforatable taking my car to the mechanic who takes care of the car for the smog certification. Comfortable waiting room and a good breakfast restaurant within walking distance. read more

Took my truck into have the power steering pump replaced, not only do these guys use the most expensive parts they can find but after getting home I had to refill and reburp the pump being as someone had set the cap in place without actually securing it. For the better part if $600 I'd expect better service, especially considering they like everyone else is slow right now. read more

Great mechanics! Have gone to Scotty's multiple times and have never been let down. Their prices are competitive and I've never had issues with their work. They always get things things done fast and they finished one job with a final cost less than they had quoted. read more

Here's the deal. My husband has a 2012 Honda Fit which he took in to Roseville Honda because he gets free oil changes (sort of - we paid for the extended warranty which included several oil changes). They told him he needed a $400 brake job. He told them he wanted to go someplace else so he had to sign something to the effect that he knew his brakes were bad. He took the car to Scotty's and a few hours later they called and said not only did we not need brakes but the back brakes were at least 40% good and the front brakes were 80-90% good and that we had at least another 10-15,000 miles to go before needing brakes. Their charge to us - $0.00! I love and trust Scotty's!!! read more

okay, now these guys have really blown me away. I just found out that my nephew's car that they repaired broke down up in Red Bluff. Scotty's paid to have the car towed all the way down here and fixed the car for free. I've never seen a shop stand behind their work like that. You have a customer for life!!! read more
