I called Thrive last week kind of at the last minute before a trip to see if they could fit me in for an oil change. They were full but the person who responded looked further and said we could squeeze you in at 4pm. We were so relieved as we just wanted to make sure the car was ready to go for the long trip ahead. And they were true to their word. Our car was taken in very quickly and besides doing the oil change, they did the usual thorough check. Fortunately, all was good as we do have our car inspected regularly. And they had a great discount going for the serve at that time so the price was very reasonable. Thank you Thrive folks! We are grateful! Our trip went really well. Andrea M. read more

I had my oil changed today and am a first time customer. What a well run business this is! I will definitely be back!

I pulled in yesterday without an appointment. They were able to squeeze me in as I was traveling from out of town. Very friendly and knowledgeable guys! Their waiting room was very comfortable and they had all kinds of free snacks and drinks. I'll definitely be getting my oil here as the price is almost a third of what I normally pay anywhere else! read more

Well Let me start out by saying this is a clean, friendly, and expertly run shop. I had received a coupon with a great discount for a full synthetic oil change which had a price that was hard to beat. I was greeted by Robert who was very knowledgeable about my vehicle. Service was superb with a couple of items fixed at no charge. The waiting area was great and well stocked with accommodating beverages. I recommend this business and they really made the experience pleasurable. They noted a couple of items that I will take care of down the road with them. read more

First time I've ever been invited back to the service area during an oil change for a quick update by the mechanic on the condition of my car and future recommendations. (All good.) The waiting area is clean and stocked with drinks and snacks. Super service. I'll be back. read more

I love this place!! Truly can say this will be my forever mechanic! They do quality work. They have a respect for your financial situation so they don't push you to do more than you need to do for your car. They're so kind so respectful and take care of your car as if it's their own. Highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Went in for my scheduled oil change at 10am. Got there 10 minutes early. Was attended to quickly and they let me know it would be an hour wait time which I expected. I waited in their cozy well stocked waiting area which has cold drinks, coffee and snacks, complementary while you wait. About and hour and half later a gentleman came to get me and let me know my vehicle was finished and they give you a preview of your vehicle which I took. I paid. I walked out to my car and to my surprise I see a giant oil stained foot print on my driver floor mat. Something I definitely wasn't expecting Since they're always so cautious with my vehicle. I walked in to let the service advisor know what I noticed, and he apologized tremendously and let me know that they would do their best to clean it up, and if they couldn't get the stain out that they would replace the mat. They took my vehicle back in and about 7 minutes later they came in to get me in the waiting area. Let me know that they were able to get stain out and that they would fully refund my oil change for the inconvenience. WOW!! Talk about great customer service. And this folks is what a WOW customer service is supposed to look like! I've been coming to Thrive for a couple years now and definitely will continue to for many years to come. read more

I called and set up an appointment. But I had a dental emergency and had to see my dentist. So I called again to see how long my smog check would take. I was told 30 minutes. I was out in 25 min and made my dentist appointment. Courteous and friendly atmostphere. I even inquired about service for my plug-in hybrids since I own 2, and hate taking a trip to the dealer. read more

Gosh! So glad we found Thrive. What a top-notch business. Had to get a new transmission in our 2017 Subaru Outback. Although the cost for a new CVT was very expensive- I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to do the work. Kept us updated of its progress, etc. With even a 3-year warranty. John , Robert , & staff are very professional & really care for their customers & do superior work! read more

Absolutely phenomenal service at Thrive Automotive (formerly Keith's Auto Repair)! I called in midday hoping to get my SUV in for a brake repair, and to my surprise, they got me in right away. By the end of the day, they had completed both front and back brakes and rotors--fast, efficient, and high-quality work. On top of that, the price was incredibly fair--truly amazing for the level of service and turnaround time. The team was professional, friendly, and honest. If you're in the Redding area and need auto repairs, I highly recommend Thrive Automotive. They've earned a customer for life! read more

Hi Cheryl. It's best to be honest. oil levels were not low as I got my oil changed back in October Of 2022. my oil was actually due for a oil change this month (January 2023). yes, you guys did look for "issues". As you called me twice finding more "issues". If I said yes fix all "issues". It would have berm a total of 1000 dollars + more you would have gotten out of me. I never been to a mechanic that was focused on finding "issues". past mechanics I brought my vehIcles to fixed the current issue tgat I brought it in for and they were done. It's best to be honest and add all details. Like I am. Thanks!! read more

This guy is a crook. Charged us 152.42 for repairs we did NOT authorize. Never going back ever, even tho AAA sent us.

These people are great! I came in after running over some debris while on the freeway, which ultimately tore the plastic right off my undercarriage engine protector. I began to realize that I was scraping a huge piece of plastic while driving and then quickly brought my car in to have them inspect it. They were very busy and yet still had my car on the lift within 15 minutes. I was out of there within 30 minutes with a vehicle safe enough to drive back down to Los Angeles. They weren't trying to sell me anything that I didn't need, and gave me a very reasonable service charge. Lucky to have found my service center once we move up to Redding in 2017. Thank you guys again! read more

I brought my Honda Odyssey in for a smog check today. The lady at the front desk was courteous and efficient in getting me scheduled and checked in for my appointment. The building has a spacious waiting room with sofas, tv, children's toys, and complimentary coffee. It was a comfortable wait. The smog check was done quickly, and I was on my way. read more

Been looking around and told GOD to lead me to a right please to get my breaks done the some day and I told them my situation and they work with me and gave me a fair price I will recommend it to friends and family ones again thanks now I could go to my trip safe . read more

I was visiting family 4th of July and had trouble with my Lexus Ken schedule was booked and I explain I needed to get back to work in the Bay Area. He got me in Wednesday afternoon diagnose and order the part and I was back on the road am Thursday morning. read more

Just in town for a few short days and someone had recommended Keith's. So I called morning of and they got me an appointment 90 minutes later. Friendly but more importantly to me, efficient and a nice clean building. Big waiting room and took less than half an hour in and out for smog check. read more

Consistently high quality work. Chevrolet and Toyota smog and tune ups. Estimates and parts cost are very competitive. The staff treat my wife and daughter with the same level of respect as mysel in the transaction and explanation of work, more rare than one would expect. The final mark of professionals is that more often than not I've been allowed to explain the cars issues to the mechanic whose doing the work, nothing lost in translation. Thanks Guys read more

So I went to Keith's today for a smog, on my new-to-me Chrysler. The car had previously been smogged, however I was informed, by Ken, the owner, that even tho the paper copy of my test said that my car passed it actually had failed due to the visual inspection element of the test. That they would be happy to order the part from the Chrysler dealership and fix the car for me which would run me about $300. Because this was a hard pill for me to swallow I called another place for a second opinion . The new place treated me with kindness and respect and said that the repair had been professionally done and saw no reason to fail it. It did however cost me another $50 but it was well worth it not to spend the $300! read more

This is a clean, well-run, efficient and most importantly: honest, auto repair shop. I always take our cars in for everything from smog to oil change - not because my wife can't, but because so many shops try to take advantage of women. (I'm not dissing you ladies, it's an unfortunate fact that a lot of shops do this). In our case my wife needed her car and took it in to kieth's herself and had great service. No one tried to sell her their super deluxe totally unnecessary upgrade for an extra fifty bucks, just good, honest what you see is what you get. What you see is an immaculate shop, happy employees and people who go out of their way to accommodate your needs AND do an outstanding job as well. We take all our vehicles there now for all our routine and not so routine work. I would not hesitate in the least to recommend Kieths for your vehicle maintenance and repairs. read more

Great place. Honest and fair business. Super clean - the nicest waiting room in town. (Even better than doctor offices.)

It was like "easy peasy lemono squeezy ". I was in and out with my smog test done in 20 minutes. Plus they were inexpensive. It only costed me $40.00 for smog check. Plus customer service was pleasant and nice. read more

I recently moved to Redding, and chose to start my search for an auto shop at Keith's because of the reviews. I've been pleased at the professionalism and expertise of Ken and his staff. I don't foresee going anywhere else for my auto repair and maintenance needs. However, I'll revisit this review after more I've gained more experience doing business here. read more

I went in on the recommendation of an employee. Ken, the owner and person who greeted me, acted put off that I was there. He then acted inconvenienced that I hadn't been there before and he had to input my info into his computer system. Lastly, he was upset that I didn't have my smog paper for the state. I let him know I thought that could be submitted digitally and that I could get it if needed. The rep on the phone hadn't said anything about it. He was unpleasant and ornery through the whole the experience. To their credit, I was in and out pretty quickly. Also, the lady who cashed me out was nice. If it was on him alone, I'd have given 1 Star. It was just an unpleasant experience dealing with him. read more

I stopped by to get an estimate for my car to fix my brake lights which wouldn't shut off after a car accident. The thing was the insurance company was going to pay them instead of me paying them. When I told the man at the counter he said he wouldn't help me and wouldn't work with my insurance and said he knew it wasn't from the accident but was my fault. I said you don't know me and have never met me or seen my vehicle and were not at the accident, how do you "know" I'm wrong? Before the accident my brake lights worked just fine. Immediately after the accident they wouldn't shut off. He did not make me feel like a respected customer and I walked out right after he started accusing me of lying about when the lights became faulty. I went straight to Bryant's up the street and they were more than happy to help me. read more

I needed a smog test done right away & was reading horror story reviews about several places in Redding. Fortunately for me, I was lucky to have found Keith's Auto Repair. They got me in and out in less than 30 minutes! They were professional, woman-friendly, and very reasonable. Their facility is spotless, beautiful waiting area and they have Keurig coffee for their customers too! You know this is a top notch family run business by the pride and customer service you receive from their staff. I will now take all our vehicles to Keith's for our auto needs. Thank you Keith's for making my experience 5 stars. read more

My family has used Keith's Automotive to maintain our cars for several years now, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I trust the owner and his office, period. If the car does not need something the owner lets me know. The office is very nice and responsive in a down-to-earth way; no pretense. Everything they have done has been top notch and appropriately priced. I make a point of having my oil changed here because they let me know if there is anything that needs addressing. There is that sweet spot for value where you get good quality for reasonable money (i.e. not cut-rate on one end with poor quality, and overpriced for top quality), and this business gets it just right. The owner clearly follows the golden rule: treat the car and the owner just as you would want to be treated. read more

Yesterday I went there for a smog, and I highly recommend this place. There's a reason why this place has all 5 stars! Very friendly and clean environment, also the waiting room makes you feel at home. Soda machine and cable! Lol read more

My wife and I have been going to Keiths Auto Repair for over 15 years, which I think speaks for itself. They have always been courteous and responsive to our needs and budget. As long as they are around we will continue to give them our business. read more

Took a trip to the Redding area over the last weekend and my jeep began to make a strange whining sound. Got to Keith's Automotive early on Monday morning and they were quickly able to identify my problem, alternator going out, They explained the problem, acquired and replaced the part and got me back on my trip schedule within a couple hours. They saved my trip and were very helpful and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this business to anyone in the area needing some automotive repair. thank you ken and everyone there! Greg and Zach read more

Went in for an oil change n smog. Customer service was great. They let me know what else needed done too. I will for sure be going back!

I am beyond happy with Keith's Auto Repair!! Today I called them to let them know that I was having my car towed in with possible bad starter with unknown time of arrival. My car arrived at 11 and I got it back by 2, and yes it was the starter. This is my second visit with them and both visit were awesome with getting my girl back the same day. Thank you Keith's Auto read more

Highly recommended service. Ken gave me outstanding advice when my Air Conditioning was acting up, explaining all the variables and how they could fix it. He's very patient (and some sort of genius as well, I'm convinced.) They had it fixed within hours and within my budget! read more

Great experience at this place. I was passing through Redding when the timing belt went out on my car. Keith's Auto Repair was able to fix it and get me back on the road that same day. They were polite, respectful, and knowledgeable. They even guaranteed their work! I would go back there if I ever broke down in Redding again. read more
