Tedious Auto Repair - I was wrongly charged for parts and extremely over charged for labor. - Auto Repair Near Me - Chico, California

I took my van in for an oil change and checkup. They suggested an AC service and I'm glad they did because I knew it had not been working as well as it should have been and I probably would have waited until I had a real problem, which I definitely couldn't afford. I also wanted another service but they couldn't get the parts delivered in time so we ended up skipping that service. The business owner/mechanic has a nice demeanor and seems like he really wants to help people keep their vehicles in the best shape for a reasonable cost. One thing that struck me was that he very naturally made full eye contact as he spoke to me. This is definitely not a shady mechanic or businessman. I had a few issues with the receptionist, but to be fair, I was getting impatient about the parts that had not come in and definitely let her know that, and she's pretty young and it takes time and experience to learn how to handle with finesse people who wanted their car back yesterday but can't get it until tomorrow. My AC is now blasting ice cold air again and the dogs are very happy about that. Overall this is a business I would recommend with confidence. read more

My husband was coming home to Vegas Driving my 60th Birthday Present he purchased from a Family Friend when he broke down in Corning. (It was an a 2000 Jaguar that had very low miles.....it had just been driven around in town.) He called around and got a hold of Tedious and got Buddy on the phone. Even though it was late Friday night, Buddy told him to have it towed in.....long story short, the engine was unrepairable. A new engine is required. Buddy was the most honest and professional auto mechanic my husband, Mark, has ever dealt with. We have owned a few Jags and Mark knew what was wrong, as he has worked on all of them. Buddy told us honestly what was wrong and did not take advantage of the situation. We just wish we lived closer to Chico so we could give him ALL our business. Thank You, Buddy!! All Our Best to You from Vegas!! Mark and Laurie Shryock read more

New in town and have needed work done on an older Jaguar. Completed the work quickly and price is fair. So far so good. read more

Tedious Auto Repair - Another good job by Tedious! - Auto Repair Near Me - Chico, California

I feel we got ripped off because my daughter is a young woman who doesn't know about cars. I understand that many businesses have struggled during covid and are having a hard time financially. I would even understand if there were literally a covid fee of $200 because times have been lean. I don't know about cars either, and when your kid has a car problem and the knowledgeable person in the family can't be there, you're at the mercy of the mechanic. I won't ever know if we got ripped off but it was a very expensive repair. We paid more to fix it than the car is worth. It felt yucky. Also, communication wasn't great and it took longer. I guess it's mainly a hunch on my part that we way overpaid but we felt really taken advantage of. She chose this shop because it was highly rated on yelp. read more

Super great experience here! Will definitely be coming back here! I needed an oil change and a maintenance check and they were fast, as well as a very professional workplace read more

One of the only mechanics I've came across that didn't try to take advantage of my lack of car knowledge and seemed to genuinely care about my safety. 10/10 read more

Fast, punctual, friendly, didn't overcharge me or pressure me into buying things I don't need.

I took my car in for an oil change and small repair. The service was great and my car was done within 2 hours.

Coming from a girl who typically doesn't like talking to mechanics! This shop is professional, and great with communication! Thank you!!!

Hats off to tedious. Took my Jetta wagon in for timing belt and oxygen sensors. They did a great job and came in under estimate. Buddy was great to deal with and work was performed on time. I will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks tedious...you guys are awesome! read more

Customer service at its finest! I literally had no worries. Buddy handles everything and always makes sure I'm aware of what's going on with my car. My car was diagnosed, parts ordered, and repaired all in 24 hrs. Amazing work, cars running great! I highly recommend for your auto repairs read more

These guys helped me with my oil change and when I came in they told me my water pump was busted. Sure enough in the parking lot there was a puddle of water, I knew it was leaking a few days prior. They fit me right in on the same day and got it done. Super professional and fair. read more

Got my Uber inspection done here so I can start making a little extra money. Buddy got in me super fast and for a great price. Other people charge like 40 bucks but he only charges half that for an inspection. I got in and out really quickly. I would definitely reccomend coming here. read more

This place had Very friendly people, and fast service! Didn't know what was wrong with my car but thanks to their help I was able to figure it out! read more

What can I really say... Engine light came on and the next day I was able to get my car in with Buddy and his crew at Tedious. And just like every time before nothing but happy with the service and cost! Wasn't sure what to expect with the engine light but needless to say Buddy made it as painless as any car expense can be. He kept me informed and I knew what to expect when I picked up my car (again faster than expected) I literally will not take my car to anyone else.. even now with living in Yuba City it is worth the drive. The service at tedious Repair cannot be beat on many levels. If you are in need of a trust worthy, efficient and not too costly mechanic.. you're only stop should be at Tedious Repair in Chico. You will not regret the decision. thank you for taking care of my car Buddy.. you and the crew are a 10! read more

Got my appointment in one day. Staff were friendly and helpful. Buddy is very knowledgeable and willing to spend time explaining what needs to be done and why. Enthusiastic and obviously knows what he's doing. Fixed my A/C, brakes, tuneup in one day. Did what he said he would. I have a new auto repair shop! read more

My car broke down late a night off the 5 and got it towed here. I left a voice message probably around 9 pm Sunday and he texted me 10 min later with a response! Fixed it by Monday afternoon! He is nice and totally honest. I will be using him again for sure and telling anyone that needs an honest mechanic this is the place ! read more

They were one of the few automotive repair shops open the day after Thanksgiving! We're visiting from out of town and in need of a radiator. They found one and installed by closing time! WOW! Very accommodating, knowledgeable and wonderful customer service! Thank You to All!! We were able to get on the road and remain on track with our vacation! read more

First time here and they did a great job in a timely manner. Will come back if a mechanic is needed again.

Came in to get my a\c fixed and they did it in record timing. Now I'll be ready for summer heat. Thanks for the amazing customer service!! I will be coming back and highly recommend them for your car needs! read more

Honest diagnosis at an honest price. Buddy was fast in getting to me what the issue was with my car and worked with me to find out the best option for me. No funny business, just an honest company doing a great job. read more

Highly recommend this place. It's definitely not your average automotive repair shop that's looking to make a quick buck for doing little to nothing. I came in for an engine diagnostics to double check something I was suspicious was wrong with my vehicle. Buddy was honest about the condition of my car, let me know the only thing I really needed were my brake pads replaced. I made an appointment the following week to come back and have that done. I know where I'll be bringing my business the next time I need car repairs read more

Buddy is an easy guy to work with when your car needs repair. He is affordable and does the job right. I would recommend him to anyone that needs there car done quickly at an affordable price! read more

If you're trying to get reliable and trustworthy service DO NOT GO HERE. My college daughter took her car here and was handed an $1800 estimate. Luckily she called me before paying these greedy people and a majority of the bill was unnecessary parts and labor. I tried talking with the owner because I knew of a simpler fix to the issue they were claiming it was and he said "he wasn't aware of how to do it and had never heard of that". As she left his final recommendation was that she "get a new car cause hers is falling apart". Her 20 year old friend with little knowledge of cars fixed the issue in an hour and her car is running perfectly which says a lot about tedious autos car skills. AS A MECHANIC ISNT THIS HIS JOB. If you want a mechanic with real knowledge, a friendly attitude, and that can actually fix problems based on your circumstances tedious auto repairs is the last place on the planet you should take your car. Definition of a lousy and careless mechanics. Really wish she would have taken it in to Spencer's auto but unfortunately they were a week out for their amazing service. read more

Great shop fixed my stranded sons car in no time didn't even charge him cleaned out fuel lines and injectors thank you read more

They did timing belt job three years later belt broke. Rip offs. Now went to have done somewhere else. Makes me wonder if they ever really changed the belt. He said it lasts 100,000 miles. Liar read more

My daughter had car problems while visiting Chico I sent her here and Buddy took over and took great care of her situation, she was told her alternator was not charging they checked it out and found no problems and offered to run a diagnostic check to find the problem, turns out the guy at the auto store she bought the battery from misdiagnosed the alternator, Buddy said everything checked out OK on her car , since they found nothing there would be no charge, you don't find great auto care often anymore like these guys. Thank you again Tedious read more

I had bought a used car and wanted everything to be checked out. Brought it to Tedious Repairs and they looked at it and replaced my front axles that caused it to shake when accelerating over 40mph the issue was repaired in about 2 days and now it runs smoothly don't notice any shaking. read more

Buddy is the best mechanic I've gone to by far. My brakes were completely shot, so I got quotes from multiple shops around Chico to compare prices and every place besides Tedious Repairs was ridiculously expensive. He shaved off 60% of the price all other places were quoting me, and I got my car back within a couple hours! His service was so great that when I found out my axel was broken, I immediately went back to him. He ordered the part that day and I got my car fixed just two days later! Long story short, his service is phenomenal, his prices are the best, and I will definitely keep returning. Thank you, Buddy! read more

Great Business and affordable price is very friendly customer service. Will be coming here for my auto needs for years to come now.

I had a running issue with my car, dropped it off at Tedious Repairs and they solved the issue ASAP. They are honest, communicative, and quick! I had multiple issue with my car solved and fixed in one day. It doesn't feel like they're out for my money, and prefer to do good business rather than make a quick buck. Super solid place. 10/10 and would definitely return. read more

Thanks tedious for taking care of our Camry quickly and efficiently and being affordable!! Much appreciated!

Had some bad experiences with other places, but I've always kept coming back here to Tedious Repair. Buddy is upfront and honest with his work, and always gets it done in a timely manner. I'm not very good with cars and he's always made it easy to understand what the problem is. read more

I've been doing business with Tedious Repairs since they opened on Mangrove many years ago and now on 32. I have them repaired 3 of my vehicles at different times. The quality of workmanship is superb. They are affordable and reliable. The mechanic is very knowledgeable and informative on every repair. I would recommend this shop to anyone. read more

Would really recommend this place. Buddy was super helpful and ran us through our options. He was patient and was available to answer any and all our questions. Good service and we will be back in the future if we have car troubles read more

Went for a tune up great service. With good price. Guy was pretty cool and my car was in and out pretty quickly.

Buddy continues to take care of me and my car. He took care of my '98 Civic before I sold it, and now my '09. I came in on my lunch break to have one of my blinkers looked at and I was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. Thank you Buddy and crew! read more
