I live 3 hours away and loved Tim's reviews. He seemed honest which I loved. Called him and he ordered parts for us ahead of time. When I got there he turned away a woman because she said that she hadn't driven in three months and so she needed an oil change. It had only been 2000 miles so she didn't really need an oil change until 5000 miles. So right in front of my face, I witnessed him turning away, free money to be moral. With my issue, he drove around with me, he talked me through everything that was going on. He fixed the problem quick and kept me informed along the way of the prices. When I got back, he went through everything again and was just the absolute perfect person to work on my car and I will always go back to him for anything. I have already recommended him to my family in the area and I highly recommend him to anyone else. This is a really good company owned by a really good man. read more

Mr. Trinh runs a great shop. He is talented at diagnostics and an honest businessman. I feel so lucky to have found TLH and wouldn't take our cars anywhere else. read more

Mr. Thinh is an honest and very accommodating man. His prices are the best I've ever found, he doesn't push unnecessary stuff on you, and he's done everything for me, no job too small or big. He really knows his stuff and I won't ever go anywhere else read more

Mr Trinh is honest, knowledgeable, ethical and a great guy. When we brought our Honda Odyssey to the dealership for recall work.. They mentioned several maintenance items to us. I know that for things like brake and transmission fluid.. a competent independent shop can match dealership service for much more competitive prices. Mr Trinh worked for Lexus and Toyota before he started his own shop.. so he is a very knowledgeable mechanic. It was a genuine pleasure meeting him, and I will be happy to return if our cars need more maintenance or repairs. He doesn't try to sell you services that are not needed at this time. As an example.. I asked him to check our tire tread because the dealer suggested replacing two tires. He assured us we have 8 to 12 months before that is needed. If you want a great mechanic close to downtown Roseville.. TLH Auto Repair is a good bet. read more

This shop used to be good but for the last 2 years, they turn me down. I went there to change brake pads for my 60K miles Tundra, and they also wanted to change the disc brake too even though they still look good. I declined the disc brake change, and still driving until 100K. I called them for a quote to change the shock on my 4Runner, they said OK, and they never call back. A few times I called for appointment, left messages, and never get any call back. read more

Got a recommendation from a friend about this shop in Roseville. Been going to Midas for years avoiding the very expensive dealership rates but the latest quote for a repair was just too steep. Wife called up Thin and immediately got an appointment and a quote. The lot was full but Thin was quick in taking a look under the hood which surprised me. He opened the machine cover and cleaned up the area of concern, turned on the engine and showed me the leaking problem. He explained the parts to be replaced and answered questions. I was taking a look at his "magic spray" cleaner and he in turn gave a bottle of degreaser ("that's yours") he bought from the dollar store. He explained that he was using this yellow liquid for years now to clean up his garage floor and grill at home. He wrote on a piece of paper an estimate of the repairs and told me that it was going to be done in a day or two. Told, him I wasn't in a hurry but he immediately called someone on the phone and informed me most of the parts were on their way. Totally impressed by this guy's professionalism and thoroughness. In and out within 20 minutes. Will update the 5 star review (or not) upon finish of the job. read more

See all

Would highly recommend TLH Auto Repair. The shop is small, but they are very honest and will not try to sell you what you don't need. The owner is very knowledgeable, and their prices can't be beat! read more

Great work at great prices. Often doesn't charge for diagnosis. Honest. Works on all three of my cars. David read more

I feel very fortunate, to have been referred here (thank you yet again, Nathan K). I have a Toyota Camry and I feel like my mechanic (Thinh) was a specialist with it. Who would've thought you could get competitive pricing with this level of expertise and care? This shop is tucked back a bit from the main road but it does face Atlantic. If you get to East St. you have gone a touch too far as it is the last entrance (driveway) before the corner of Atlantic and East. read more

Plain and simple this is an honest mechanic. They are harder to find than a needle in a hay stack but here he is. Fast, reliable communication, and affordable compared to any other shop in the area. read more

Found this shop by accident, if you have to have a break down, my Kia couldn't have found a better location to break down at. They retrieved my vehicle a few blocks away, quickly diagnosed the problem. They were kind and very helpful and fixed my Kia at a great price. I will be bringing my vehicle here from now on read more

Had some major brake issues and brought my car into TLH, they diagnosed it right away, had the parts in stock, and got me back on the road the same day. Fair pricing, no upsell, and they explained everything clearly. Hard to find an honest shop like this. I'll be coming back for all my car work. read more

Thinh is the absolute best! Went to 2 other shops before him and they quoted me $3000 and $2800 to fix an issue with my AC. Thinh had me in and out within 2 days for $900. Showed me what was wrong and was super communicative. My go to spot for all things now! read more

TLH Auto Repair is my go to shop for all my Honda maintenance needs. Thinh is very reliable and honest mechanic. He uses quality Honda parts and fluids. Also, saves me a ton of money on repairs vs going to the dealership. Glad to have found him. read more

Service provided is excellent.The Quality of work is superb.Friendly environment.Highly recommended!

Absolutely best and honest mechanic! Helped so much with my Japanese car. I have shopped around for the same problem and other shops were quoting hundreds more. Mr Thinh Nguyen for the win! read more

Poor Quality Service, Oil leak after service from multiple places. I don't recommend here.

Thinh really knows what he is doing. He is extremely honest, communicative, friendly, and performs the job right the first time for a very reasonable price. I often refer him to family and friends. read more

Thinh the owner deserves 10 stars. He took my Lexus CT200H immediately on a Sunday to fix my "check engine light." He showed and explained to me step by step how to diagnose, isolate and fix the problem. It took less than one hour and the car is working again very well. In addition to that, he told me what to look for in the future, if other symptoms arise. I am thankful for his honesty and expertise. I will be a customer for life. read more

This review is long over due. I first met Thinh over 8 years ago; I was younger then and had a mustang that I obsessed way too much over. I found Thinh by calling around for a mechanic who was willing to upgrade my suspension at a decent price (changing coil springs are not fun and wanted to leave that to a professional). Not only did he have the best price, but he was able to do it within a week. After that, he became my go to guy for mechanical issues that were above my backyard mechanic level of expertise. Always honest and never trying to upsell me (which is easy to do with a car obsessed 20 something year old). Later, my girlfriend's Ford Escape had AC issues, in which he diagnosed the problem and replaced the AC Compressor for a very reasonable price. Again, never trying to upsell and only recommending what was necessary. After that, I didn't see him for years as I moved to the Bay Area. Fast forward to this week when my mom need a second opinion on "issues" another mechanic shop had claimed when she just went in for an oil change. I called Thinh, knowing from prior experience that he would be the best person to contact. Well, I'm happy to say that he's still exactly as I remember: honest and only recommending what NEEDS to be done. He called me today to say that the car has no issues. He could have lied but he DIDN'T, he was honest. A lot has changed since the pandemic but it was great knowing that he hasn't. Needless to say, I told my mom to only use his shop moving forward. Likewise, I recently moved back to the Sacramento area and will be exclusively using him as well as telling friends and family about his shop. Thank you, Thinh for continuing to have integrity in a world that is increasing lacking it. read more

Why was I wasting my money going to the dealer? This guy is the best. Really knows what he's doing and totally honest. If you have a Toyota this is the place to go. read more

Wow, just wow. I honestly hate leaving 5 star reviews because of two selfish reasons. One, they usually start getting busy of all the traffic and two, I don't like to give away my hidden gems. But this 5 star review is different. I don't mind giving this gem away because Thinh, the master mechanic, owner of this humble shop is my new go too. Quick back round. The place is somewhat hidden. You will literally pass it if you aren't looking closely. It's in between SCATT Recreation and a radiator shop on a long entry way line with cars. It's a very unassuming shop, but I don't care for the bells and whistles of bright lights and fancy chairs to sit in. I just want my vehicle fixed correctly. So I normally do all my own mechanical work on my vehicles, but ran into an issue, I just couldn't fix. I called based on Yelp reviews and talked to Thinh. I told him my issue and he actually gave me a solution, rather than just tell me to come in. He was extremely helpful over the phone, but I decided to come in as the situation was difficult to do at home. He gave me a time to come in and a decent, extremely reasonable price for the work to be done. I ended up showing up, and was in and out of the shop in less than 30 minutes. Thinh, was not only professional, but completely competent with the work that needed to be done. He even took the time to answer more questions I had when it comes to repair and servicing my own vehicles. Truly a great experience with an honest mechanic. PROS: knowledge of vehicles customer service great selection of candies $$$$ CONS: None read more

I was quoted at an expensive dealership, that my engine was leaking oil and that it might be time to trade in my car. Thankfully I took my car in to TLH, and it was thousands less. Definitely worth it to take your vehicle to TLH. read more

Great guy! Honest and inexpensive! As a woman I am always Leary if anything car repair related but this shop is legit! Highly recommend!

Took out 2011 Sienna in today with service. Owner was thorough, took photos for me, and explained everything in detail. Price was very reasonable and was exactly what was quoted. Gave printed statement of exactly what was done. This place is easy to miss even with google maps, so slow down and look for it. It's worth the search. Highly recommended. Thank you! read more

Thanks yelp for the help finding TLH. My 07' Prius needed new struts and Tinh was able to get them in, at half the price of the dealership, and in a timely matter. read more

Outstanding service. The mechanic/proprietor is very knowledgeable and very thorough in his troubleshooting. Reasonably priced. The fact that he is open on Sundays is a huge plus. read more

My family have been bringing our cars to Thinh for years (possible decades :) ) He knows what the cars need and what need to be done. He won't upsell you or recommend anything that not needed. read more

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. My daughter has been going here for about 5 years. Always helpful and very reasonable. Her husband hadn't driven his Tacoma in over 2 years. I live in So. Cal. and called Thinh and he pulled all the service records. I flew up and had the truck towed in. He worked with me on schedule and final repair was very reasonable. Should have done it a long time ago read more

Took my Toyota Corolla here for a repair and had a great experience. He was very honest and forthright, did not try to oversell, and was able to get my car fixed in a day. I will definitely be going back. read more

Thinh, the owner, is awesome. He'll tell you straight up what the problem is and won't upsell you. Great thing about him is he will actually send pictures and videos of what exactly is wrong or broken with your vehicle and what he did to fix it. He's very responsive and overall a cool guy. We trust him and we've been going to him for all of our cars' mechanical needs. read more

Can't find any other honest mechanic and his prices are so low it's unbelievable. Don't take your car to the dealer they will just rob you. I have been taking all my cars here and very happy with all the service I got done. Talk to Thinh and he will take good care of you! read more

TLH Auto Repair - The shop is clean too! - Auto Repair Near Me - Roseville, California

The shop is set back and easily missed, but the quality of service you find is above and beyond. This is a family owned and operated which means you are supporting a family not a corporation. Everytime we've had our Acura MDX or Civic Si in they've been reasonable on the cost. Definitely our go to mechanic for our cars. read more

Had a great experience with TLH Auto Repair. Honest and fair pricing. Definitely would bring my car back and recommend. Thanks TLH Auto repair. read more

Had my brakes and oil done here. The lot is sort of disorganized but the owner is nice and shows you exactly what he took out etc etc. love when a mechanic is transparent. brakes were a little over priced but that's okay. If the parking lot expanded or the shop was cleaned up I'd give this 5 stars. read more

TLH does quality work. Even though it's 15 miles from where I live, I don't want to go anywhere else. Thinh has been helping me maintain my '99 Corolla for a few years now. The oil always seems to stay clean a lot longer when he changes it. That's because he's thorough. He just replaced a bad power steering pump and did a super job. He replaced an o-ring on the pressure hose and used better sealing washers to ensure no leaks. Many other shops would have skipped that. His price for the job was more than fair, worth every penny. read more

Excellent work, very thorough. Owner takes time to explain what was wrong and how he fixes problems. Prices are fair. Highly recommend, especially if seeking a mechanic for a Toyota. read more

Transparent and affordable parts and labor. Great service. I shopped around for quotes on a window regulator replacement from several auto repair shops. Most of them quoted me 120 for the labor, but the cost of parts ranged widely from 170 to over 300 with the total ranging from 300-500 I went online to check the pricing for the part and it goes for 50-60 dollars. I asked the shops if they would be willing to provide me with part number and receipt from the part provider and they all refused. If labor cost is 300, just say so, dont try to tack it onto the parts cost. Anyways, I came here and got it done for 200. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Thinh and the crew at TLH Auto Repair are the real deal and all of the 5-star reviews that they've received are justified and well-deserved. I found TLH Auto Repair on Yelp after bringing my car to another shop in Roseville did some work on my car and it just wasn't the same after that. I called Thinh up and he was very flexible with my schedule and was able to get me in and after explaining to him what the issue was, he was able to diagnose and fix it right away. I told him I was not handy with automobiles yet he wasn't condescending and took time to diagnose the problem and explain it to me, along with the solution, in a way that I could understand. I knew then that I had found my "for life" car mechanic, which you all know is VERY hard to find. I've been taking my car there for regular maintenance; oil changes and such. His prices are fair and his work is always exceptional. Thinh is very honest and won't try and sell you something you don't need. I especially like that he always shows me the parts being replaced and explained why the particular part needed to be swapped out. I'd recommend TLH Auto Repair without any hesitation. read more

I highly recommend any one who needs repair done to come here...I am very satisfied with the work on my car...very reliable and professional and excellent work...thank you .. thinh read more
