Great work and friendly staff. Took my jeep in for service after terrible experience with autonation Chryslers and completed repairs at have the cost and not charged extra service fees read more

I am going to start by saying that I have used Scotty's multiple times in the past twenty years and mostly I have received 5 star service (most notably when my son had a Saturn that had a check engine light and they tried to fix it and when they could not (through no fault of their own) they refunded me all my money and sent me to the dealer. I found them to be very honest and fair pricing (not the cheapest, but quality work). What has prompted me to write this review today is the experience I had with Justin on the phone a couple of days ago. My husband and I recently purchased a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. While looking through the owner's manual we noticed that this car specifically recommends spark plug replacement at 40,000 miles. We just hit that and and not wanting to void our warranty we called to arrange a spark plug replacement. To note, I could have done this myself, but again I don't want to give Hyundai any reason to say the engine failed due to improper maintenance. When I called to inquire about pricing, Justin immediately told me I don't need to change them this early. He then proceeded to tell me that Hyundai just recommends this to get people to spend more money. He told me he used to work for them and it isn't the spark plugs that is the problem with their engines but rather a rod. Look, I appreciate someone trying to save me money, but I also believe that when a car is still under warranty manufacturer recommendations should be followed. I probably would not have written this review except I saw Mary K's review and have to agree that Justin seems to have some kind of bias against Hyundai. I know their GDI engines were not great, but this is a newer model and it has a turbo engine and I was just trying to do what was right for the car. I ended up making the appointment with another trusted mechanic. read more

I can't believe that I walked in to Scotty's and got an estimate for work to be done on the wife's car and lo and behold, I paid exactly what they estimated. Holy SH!T!!! You mean they didn't add unnecessary BS to my work I had them do?!?! That's F'n unbelievable. What a great experience to have a shop that doesn't try to price gouge you at every turn. No unnecessary add ons. Just honest work at an honest price. Thanks so much for an amazing experience. You guys are my go to from here on out. read more

Amazing service and knowledgeable staff. They are always friendly and straightforward.

Sorry not sorry for low rating,BUT charging 115$ for oil change alone is ROBBERY! Especially when the oil didn't even last. Only 2.75 months or 11 weeks. On top of that it didn't even make it half way to amount of mileage. Not worth it take your Acura or expensive cars else where! The car has no leaks nor does it have engine problems been checked by my hometown mechanic. Don't try to gaslight me, bc the car lasted almost full year with a different shops work. Just unacceptable read more

When I went to leave work at the beginning of last week, my car would not start. I figured it was the ignition. Multiple people have recommended Scotty's in Orangevale to me a few times in the past. I saw they had a location in Roseville, closer to my office, and I called ahead because I figured that they would be closed by the time AAA was able to tow my car there. Justin was very nice and explained the process of AAA dropping my car off after hours. The next morning I called them as soon as they opened. He let me know that he wasn't sure he'd have time to look at it that day but would call back asap. Within a few hours he called me back to let me know the problem was with the ignition, and told me my options for repairing it - price, time frame, expected longevity of the different options. My car is older and has over 175,000 miles on it so I went with the cheaper repair. Car was ready for pickup by the end of the day and has been starting up great ever since. I felt like Justin was very upfront with everything, and I think another shop could have and would have tried to get a lot more money out of me in the moment. But the experience I had with Justin at Scotty's will ensure I will come back in the future, and that I will be recommending this place to other people looking for a trustworthy mechanic. Car repairs are very expensive and stressful so considering the circumstances, this experience went as well as it possibly could have. Thank you. read more

We have taken our cars to Scotty's for years, I have recommended them to all of my friends. They do only what needs to be done, and the problem is fix. Quality work every time we have taken our car there we have never needed to taken it back for the same problem. They are honest in their dealings. read more

They have always been so good to me and honest! They are reasonable in price to! Justin is who I normally deal with and hes very knowledgeable read more

Scotty's never disappoints. I've been to their other location and had one of the best experiences with my repair you can have. I tried this location in an emergency. Not only did they go above and beyond to accommodate. They also go above average with repairs. read more

I have been taking my cars to Scotty's for years, both my Toyota Camry and the last 4 years my Hyundai Accent. Today, I came in for a routine Oil Change and was told by Justin that it was 2 quarts low. He literally said, and did NOT ask his opinion, that I should not expect my car to last til 150,000 miles if that and he was worried for his Son who just bought a Hyundai. Yes, older cars that reach 100,00 miles or more will do that as I have similar experiences with my Toyota, Hondas, Fords, Volvos.... Justin, do you have a crystal ball? My Intuition tells me because he has worked for Hyundai in the past and had a bad experience with them, he is projecting that opinion onto customers who own one. Will NOT be coming back!!! IN RESPONSE TO BILL C; I already had a long chat with Chris about this yesterday! He assured me that they have been working with Justin on his Customer Service skills and his sharing of opinions which Chris agrees ! While this has nothing to do with Tom or the Mechanics, I feel its time to move on, the damage has been done! read more

My maintenance check up went well! Very upbeat, friendly, honest and straightforward experience. I read reviews of Scotty's to help me decide on this location for my first car check up in the area, and all the good reviews were very accurate. When I requested an appointment they were able to squeeze me in the next day. I was given a price quote before handing over my car keys, and because there were no additional issues with my car, paid the expected quote. Would highly recommend this place for newcomers! read more

This is the 2nd time I have had a vehicle serviced at Scotty's and I am so impressed. They made the process so simple, from the first phone call, booking the appointment, providing a night drop off system, communicating their findings and plan throughout the job, and completing the repairs in a timely fashion. Their prices are more than fair- far less than I expected! In addition, I was told elsewhere that my car needed some parts replaced, and Justin at Scotty's checked it all out and assured me it was in good condition and didn't need the repair. I absolutely trust them to take good care of my car. read more

I will never go anywhere else. Scotty's is the most reliable and trustworthy place I have ever been. They have serviced my family's vehicles for over 20 years. read more

I have taken my Ford Escape to Scotty's since I moved here six years ago. I have never had better mechanics! My car began shuddering and the engine light was on. I had it towed to them and slept that night thinking I was going to be paying $10,000 for a new transmission! Mid morning Tom called me to let me know it was something else and the estimate was about $200. I was so relieved! When I picked it up it ran like a new car! I am so happy! Will never go anywhere else for my auto needs! I can't say enough about Tom and Justin! They are so service oriented and customer friendly, I just love them! read more

I brought in my 2015 Camry after an accident. It needed a replacement engine. These idiots put in the wrong wiring harness! Then they returned the car with alarm lights and no transmission indicator and said I was on my own. They don't know what they are doing! I had to take the car to someone else to figure out what Scotty's broke! Steer clear. Response to Bill C.: Your response is not correct Bill C. You put an Avalon engine in the Camry and didn't bother to check compatibility with the attached wiring harness. The wiring harness was not. Also, you didn't immediately reimburse me for an expert to figure out what you could not. I had to come back for that. read more

As a single mom with 2 driving teenagers car breakdowns are scary. Im I 100% trust Scotty's to be honest with me about what's going on with our cars and not try to sell me things I don't need. I won't go anywhere else with our cars. read more

We always feel insecurity deep anxiety when our automobiles stop working . This company via the men are on time amazing. Shout out to the mechanic Thank you read more

I have been coming to Scotty's for at least 15 years. The best by far, extremely trustworthy, transparent, they know their stuff and stand by their work. Truly a throwback, with the right values and customer service in place. Love these guys read more

Probably one of the best automotive shops that I have ever brought my car to and I've been to a lot around the Roseville area all the way up to Nevada County. I had some work done on my vehicle over summer and there was some bad cabling issues on my car. I drive a 2003 Chevy Tracker and there were cables that were shredded along with some sensors that needed fixing. I had a tight window because I was getting ready to move back down to LA in about a week. They were able to squeeze me in the next day to take a look at what was going on and I remember they were able to get it figure out + fixed for me by the following day. I was so grateful for their efficiency and attention to detail in such a short period of time. They were great people to work with and I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a good long term mechanic in this area to go with Scotty's Automotive. Thanks again!! read more

Called the shop about my car issues Justin right away told me to bring it in. Justin made the whole process easier than I thought all I had to do was drop off the car and he handles the rest, he definitely went over and beyond. Best customer service I've ever had. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Just had my car's air intake hose replaced and to my surprise they didn't charge me for labor. (All I did was brought the replacement part). I want to say my thanks. It really made my day. Good vibes are hard to come by these days. PS Please don't bring your busted car with parts and expect free labor. I don't want people copying me and then be upset with the shop. read more

Nice folks, did service in the time agreed. Price was reasonable. Communicated well till the job was done. Will use again. Ours was an older model Chevy Tahoe. Needed brakes, oil change/lube and a smog. read more

Scotty's Automotive is what auto repair used to be and should be. The guys are extremely nice and helpful. They listen. I got my truck in quickly. I was able to drop it the night before and they locked it up. I received a call at about nine the next morning. They talked about the work I needed done. Even though I asked for a complete inspection they didn't try to pile on marginally needed repairs. My truck was ready by 10:30. Not end of day like most. We've used Scotty's before and they've always been honest with a lower fair price. We'll be back. Thanks. read more

If customer service is important to you .....go to Scottys! I so appreciate that they communicated throughout the process of the fix and gave me options that would work within my budget. They have earned a happy customer read more

These guys do great work and fixed everything. They have excellent communication over the phone and kept me updated on the status of my vehicle while they were working on it. I will be back for service when needed in the future read more

We have had our cars serviced at Scotties for about thirty years. They do great work in a timely manner, are honest, and can sometimes squeeze us in on short notice. They are the best! read more

My wife took our GS350 to Lexus for oil change and 70K inspection (Lexus of Roseville). Seemed simple enough, but mechanic conducting inspection at dealership found several items that needed immediate repair/replacement including replacing the rear shocks on the vehicle that were reported to be leaking fluid. The replacement of the (2) shocks was quoted at $1,200. I told my wife to have them change the oil and I scheduled an appointment with Scotty's for Monday. Note, my wife was also told that (2) tires needed replacement, but Discount Tires disagreed and stated tires still were above replacement tread depth guide. After the car went up on the rack the mechanic and Justin took me out to the shop to inspect the rear shocks. To all of our surprise the shocks were NOT leaking fluid and were in perfect working order. Once again Scotty's to the rescue! The unfortunate part is my wife would have spent $1,200 at Roseville Lexus replacing shocks that did not need to be replaced. What did Scotty's charge for this outstanding, honest service...FREE! That did sit well with me so I paid for everyone's lunch on Monday. Thanks again Scotty's you guys are the best! read more

Tom and staff are life savers! Extremely professional and helped with my jeep issues in a timely manner! Thank you so much I truly appreciate it! read more

Dear readers, Please Disregard the my previous review if you've read it .... , based on an personal email reply from Tom, not Tony (sorry), I'm raising my stars... Tom offered a sober and just reply, as he quite correctly pointed out in his rebuttal, that I made an unfair and quite presumptuous assertion... Also I didn't mention that because they couldn't complete the job, Scotty's only charged half price on the Dodge diag and he took in my Silverado without an appointment! ... I'm leaving up this this public apology so readers can see how not to judge too quickly on others.... I got a little carried away by my disappointment, in they wouldn't repair our Ram truck (because those engines are too problematic afterwards)... So to Scotty's team and Tom , I apologize. ( see Tom, I know how to take my lumps lol) hope Scotty's and Tom will forgive me read more

These guys are fantastic! They always take great care of me. Very reasonable and quick turnaround.

Had an issue with my Jeep Grand Cherokee, the thermostat was not working. Called Scotty's, they got me in the following day and it was fixed. Friendly, dependable and they do great work at a reasonable price. A+ read more

Had a great experience with Scotty's from A to Z. The employees were all very nice and helpful. They answered my questions and checked my brakes quickly with advice on next steps. I will definitely be bringing my car to them if I need service again. read more

Our family has used Scotty's as our go to mechanics for years and will continue to do so. To be able to trust your mechanic is huge...we trust these guys. They get us in & out as quickly as possible and at a reasonable rate. read more

Brought my Subaru in with a front end shake. Explained the problem. They called the next day and said they couldn't find anything wrong or duplicate the shake. Took it to another shop and the lower control arm bushings were shot. Mechanic said it was impossible to miss. read more

Back in May I took my car to 2 different shops and they insisted I needed a new AC Compressor and Condenser. I called Scotty's and they were able to narrow down to 2 possible issues. I brought my car in and was able to drive away the same day with an AC that has blown ice cold for the entire summer without having to replace anything at all. They fixed the issue for a reasonable price! read more

Took my Jeep here to assess a strong coolant smell, after a few months of having other major issues with it. They got my car in very quickly! I was very impressed with their customer service and willingness to look over everything. They didn't end up finding any problems with it, and they didn't charge me for looking at it. This was my first time taking my car there and I will definitely be back for any future maintenance. read more

I felt well taken care of. They didn't try to upsell me on anything and did everything they said they were going to do in the expected time frame. The service was very friendly and they communicated with me during the process to make sure I was comfortable financially with the repairs they were proposing. Would definitely recommend! My Honda came back in excellent condition and I am confident driving it again. Thank you Scotty's! read more

If you are new to the area, don't worry about looking for someone to service your vehicle. Courteous, prompt and professional. Their prices are competitive and the reliability of their service makes every penny worth it. You won't be disappointed. read more

Best mechanic shop in the Sacramento/Roseville area. Honest, friendly, and all around great service. Justin and the team are awesome!
