Best autoshop in this area! Loved working with Saj and David. They are extremely knowledgeable and communicative. Was walked through their process in fixing my car and they made it so I could understand (not a car guy). I'd give them my business any day all day. Highly highly highly recommend. read more

This shop is full of good Dudes always there to give you a hand or some advice. It really feels like as honest as a shop can be as far as pricing and services as well. read more

True Blue came through!! Really appreciate these guys - Saj and Matt hooked me up with a lift install for my 2008 Nissan Titan. I pieced together suspension components myself... even after all my internet research and triple checking PN#s, some parts worked, some didn't (fitment-wise). The crew was patient with the whole situation as I ordered correct parts. They also did a new rack and pinion for me while they had the front torn down. Thank you fellas !!! read more

See all

I went in because another tranny shop i was at damaged my bumper then tried to blame me. They fixed the bumper but I still need my transmission fixed. I came here and show the owner the paperwork from the other shop and he was shocked. True Blue took pictures of my car before working on it. And looked my whole suv over. I got Complete Care here. Thank you read more

I don't even have words to explain what happened and I see that they've gotten a lot of good reviews so maybe my situation was not common? I made an appointment to drop my car off and very specifically explain what I needed checked. I told them I was going on vacation and they guarantee that they would call me within 24 hours and then start the work right away. 8 days went by a patiently waited for a phone call and never heard one word. When I called on the 8th day they had no explanation why I had not been contacted and nothing had been done on my car except adding a little bit of freon to the AC. When I asked why I hadn't been contacted the owner simply just said that they had been busy. And all my years of having my car scared for I have never had this happen before. It was truly shocking. read more

$188 for an oil change and tire rotation. Oil is 0w16 which is $29 for 5 quarts down at Napa. The guys seem nice just beware of what you're getting for your $$. I can only imagine what they'd charge for actual work, guess that's "where the world is at these days". read more

I have been a True Blue customer for a very long time and I will always recommend Saj and his team to care for my beloved Toyota. Just last week, I took my 2005 Corolla to Saj for some issues and got my car back after 2 days. To my surprise, Saj and his team made my Corolla drive like new. Saj and his crew NEVER lets me or my family down when it comes to our vehicles and the repairs needed to keep them running in tip top shape. Saj always make sure that my car is safe and running perfect. If you ever had doubts about a smaller auto shop, you can be assured that Saj and his team will take care of you and your vehicle like you are family! Give Saj a call at 916-673-9001 and make an appointment for your auto repair needs! Thank you True Blue Auto Care for always taking good care of the Hisey Families vehicles! Michelle Hisey read more

Recently I had a pre purchase inspection on my used car. Everyone was so friendly from the office personnel to the mechanic. The auto mechanic that did the inspection was very thorough and informative. He explained everything to us and we were able to have the problems fixed at the car dealer before we purchased the vehicle. This saved us a lot of money. I highly recommend this business. I will take my car there if I have any additional issues with my car. Thank you for your friendly service. Carol S. read more

Took my wife's car in because she was complaining about hesitation. They did a complete diagnostic but couldn't find anything wrong. They did notice a Service Advisory from Hyundai that addressed issues with the transmission. Rather than doing unnecessary repairs they printed out the advisory for me to take to the dealer for free repair. I appreciate the honest approach and the information they provided. I'll look to them next time I need repairs. read more

That you Saj and Staff for the very prompt alignment service on my custom 95 Toyota Tacoma Dump Truck this morning. You impressed this retired former ASE master mechanic/technician with your customer service and business. Which is hard to do. The Tacoma drives straight and great. Thanks also go out to America's Tire across the street for them recommending you. I highly recommend True Blue Auto Care. Thank you John S. read more

An honest car repair shop. Been doing my truck F-150 2006 for seven years is responsive and hold to a time schedule as he promises His prices are in range as others around here. reviewiii read more

Honest and reasonable is the best way I can describe Saj at True Blue. As someone that is not a mechanic and doesn't know a lot about cars, I put my guard up when it comes to auto work and want to make sure I'm getting a good deal and only doing the work that is necessary. I've been in the Roseville area for 6 years and haven't found a mechanic I trusted so before getting some suspension work done on my truck, I went to several shops to get estimates. Not only did the pricing come back better with Saj but he was the only one that I felt was giving me an honest opinion and suggestion. Coincidentally, each shop had a different opinion but none were able to explain the job to me as clearly as Saj and also help me understand the priority in what needed to be done. He never tried to upsell me or get me to do additional work which is exactly how I felt with the other shops. Moving forward: I'll be taking all my vehicles to True Blue and I'd highly suggest you calling and working with Saj before you get ANY work done on your car. They worked with my schedule as I needed my truck back and got the work done without any hassle or any "things they discovered" and I am happy with the work and the price. Save yourself some money and go straight here--don't waste your money on multiple assessments like I did! read more

Sadly, I had a bad experience @ True Blue. A while back, I brought my Toyota Tacoma in for a "check engine" light. It cost around $120 and it was determined that the speed sensor on the transmission had gone bad. As a shade tree mechanic, I easily changed the $240 part. That did not fix the problem. Fortunately, through a somewhat serendipitous series of events, I found out that the instrument cluster was defective ... another $360 part. I was able to change the part (a video on You Tube showed how and it was really easy) myself. We go to "experts" because they are supposed to be up to date on problems and the instrument cluster problem, it turned out, was diagnosed by a CAR PARTS STORE counter person! So, not only did I pay $120 to get a wrong diagnosis, but I paid another $240 buying a part that was not needed. True Blue's reply to my request for a refund for, at a minimum, the diagnosis was that they did their job and gave me the information their codes told them. But, their information was incomplete. Due to their ignorance, they should have refunded the money. I'll not go back. read more

Service was very thorough. Monica, at the front office, is a real company asset. Her positive attitude convinced me to use this company. Their owner is a great car problem solver. read more

Excellent service. Honest and upfront. Very trustworthy. Good values. I appreciate everything being explaind

Why cant we have a 20 star option?! I came here for a pre purchase inspection. I instantly made friends with their lovely front desk girl, and actually enjoyed the wait! Sag the owner Exceeded my expectations. He discussed in great length the codes that came up and potential problems. He informed me specifically about long term problems with the car i was interested in. He even went as far as to recommend multiple books i would enjoy based on my personal interests. They are the definition of trustworthy and everything you could hope for and more with customer service. If you live in the Citrus Heights area and you are not getting your car serviced by true blue you are Significantly missing out on the this Citrus Heights gem!!!!!! read more

My go to auto shop in fair oaks orangevale. They seem honest and no surprises. I've had work done on several cars and they do good work. It's not the cheapest but not the most expensive. I was in a pickle and needed my car back before the weekend and they drove it through my house. I think this is a good place to go for car work. read more

Great service. As a woman it's nerv racking having to get work done on your car. True blue provided great service for great price. Friendly people too! read more

First of all, I would like to apologize to Saj and Jeff, for NOT getting this post out any sooner than now. I am preparing to move to Houston, and to say I have had my mind on other things, is putting it very mild. Second of all, I would like to deeply thank Rob Auernig, of Auernig Auto Body, for the excellent advice he provided sending me to True Blue when my 2005 Toyota Pickup Truck was having a few issues. Rob Auernig and his staff did such an amazing job on some body work I had done after I was T-BONED, that literally NO ONE could tell where the repair was. THEY ARE THAT GOOD!! They also do dealer fleet work for brand new damaged cars coming in on deliveries to various area car dealers!! OK, so back to True Blue. This is honestly the most honest auto repair place I have been to in my entire life!! Everyone knows someone and say they will give you this deal, and that deal. Not True Blue!! They mean what they estimate, and they give you a fair deal. Jeff once had a bid for me that exceeded the work they had done. When I came to pick up my truck, he told me he didn't have to do A, and that B was not worn out, and C was just crooked and needed reseated!! All items were deducted from my original estimate, much to my surprise! Customer Service there is way above my expectations! Always greeted with a smile, always above just being friendly. They even laugh out loud at my jokes, most of the time! They always ask if you have a ride home, and if you don't live in Stockton, and they have someone available, they will give you a ride home. This might not always be the case, because when Saj or Jeff tell a customer when their car will be ready, it WILL BE READY!! So, they may not have the time. They don't want you to wait like you do at the dentist, doctor, etc. Oh, and in the mean time, while you wait at home to get that call, you have already gotten updates on the status from either Jeff, or Saj!! When I say these guys are good, I mean they are awesome!! I will miss this kind of loyalty and trustworthiness from them when I get to Houston!! They are truly the best, and more people need to let them know that! I am so very glad I met them, and their awesome, fantastic, honest, clean, fair, friendly business!!!! Saj, Jeff, and staff, THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!!! All the best wishes to you all, and the success of True Blue!!! MJC read more

I had a really good experience with this auto shop. They were upfront and honest and kept me posted every step of the way. I didn't feel like they were constantly trying to get me pay more repairs I didn't really need. They even had me come back a few weeks later to check on their repairs. I will be returning (but hopefully not soon, haha). read more

I look for two things in an auto repair shop: 1. Quality of service 2. Trustworthiness I found both at True Blue auto. From the front office to the repair room, everyone is professional and is there to make the client's experience A+.. My auto was repaired on time and with no problems afterwards. As to trustworthiness, I know I paid a fair price for the service, there were no corners cut, and I know if I did have a problem the problem would be solved to my satisfaction.

Monica up front is extremely professional, I was informed about everything on my car. Tim was the tech who worked on my Mustang, and he actually came up to the front to talk about everything he worked on on my vehicle, and was very informative! I will most definitely be back here, I trusted this shop with my pride and joy, and they in no way disappointed me! Absolutely amazing and trust worthy shop! Great job to the entire team here my vehicle had to be towed here, but after they completed the work, I was more than comfortable driving it away. read more

Went in for an alignment and all was good with that. Gave me a deferred work list. Way overpriced. Cabin air filter - $92.02. (True Blue price) Bought cabin air filter for under $20.00 and took me under 10 minutes to change. Battery replacement - $247.52 (True Blue price) I always go to the Toyota dealership for oil change so yesterday with oil change as I was due, new wiper blades installed and new battery installed was a total of $280 and change and that's a dealership. Was also told I need a strut/shock job and wanted $1,300.90. Called them and asked what brand and that was for Monroe. I told them I wanted Bilstein 6112's in front and 5100's in rear. Was quoted a little over $1,500. for this. I asked what model Bilsteins Jeff was quoting and he told me the 5000 series. Asked for the model number and he said again the 5000 series. I am assuming they were gonna put 5100's in front and rear which is not what I asked for. I can get a full set of 5100's shipped for under $500.00 so he wanted over a $1,000.00 for labor. Told him that's not what I want and told him I can get the 6112's (front) and the 5100's (rear) shipped for $860.00. That's still over $600 bucks in labor. I was ready to start giving them my business as they seemed like a nice business but their prices are crazy. read more

I brought my car in for a 4 wheel alignment. All went well, and the work done was explained. I will use them again when necessary. Thank you! read more

Let me just start by saying I typically DREAD going to the mechanic. I am a female who does not know anything about cars, and am always in fear that I am being taken advantage of and uncharged when I take my vehicle in. I found True Blue on Yelp. I took my vehicle in that same day, and was warmly welcomed by Monica and Saj. Saj was honest and helpful about repairs needed, and was so transparent about price and issues with my vehicle, and didn't charge or even suggest additional repairs that weren't truly necessary. The humility felt with this business is astounding, they listened to me and my concerns, and understood that I just wanted to fix the presenting problem. They are taking extra precautions during covid, got me in the same day, arranged for my transportation home and back so that I could attend my classes and be the least stressed out as possible. Truly a genuine business and I would recommend them to ANYONE in the area searching for an honest, caring, and affordable mechanic. Thank you True Blue!!!! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to True Blue Auto Care! Our change oil light came on our diesel before a road trip and True Blue was able to get me in same day with the best prices I could find around. Honestly, after I called and spoke with Saj the prices didn't matter because he was so informative and helpful when scheduling my appointment that I would have came here regardless. He made sure I was up to date with ever step of the process and not once did I feel worried I was going to be backed into any additional items outside the scope we discussed. They even had an online portal option that gave me access to photos of my service and a breakdown of recommended services with realistic timelines on when I should have them repaired. Overall this was just a great experience for a service that I absolutely dread. Thankful for my experience! read more

Genuine, kind, knowledgeable, of tent staff :) didn't feel lied to or uppriced for anything.

The best in the business as well as honest and friendly. They have been taking care of my vehicles for over 10 years now. Jeff is a wizard with the patience of artist. I would highly recommend them to all! read more

I needed to replace an alternator in my 2007 Toyota Sienna. Called a few local shops and True Blue's quote was the cheapest (about $300 cheaper than another shop within a 2 mile distance, and more than $150 cheaper than another shop within 1 mile distance). They also fixed it within the same day. Good job, True Blue. read more

Best service in town. I have a 97 F150 and in 2012 I took it to Jeff at True Blue because of the front end squeaking so bad, Jeff put it up on the rack and told me the front end needed replaced and he quoted me a price of $900. The job was done on time and came in at $847. In 2013 my A/C system went out and Jeff gave me an estimate of $1400. Finished one day after promised, due to a part not being available, cost of $1275. One month later the A/C started acting up and Jeff searched high and low to figure out what was wrong. It was an intermittent problem, so was very hard to fix, the new part needed cast $60 more, but Jeff said he would not charge me any extra. It is now 2017 and I have a 2010 F150, Jeff and his team came to the rescue again. The dash would go dead as I was driving. Diagnosed as a bad instrument panel, Cost..$900 for a new one. Jeff offered to try to take mine apart and repair it. He spent several hours working on it, IT'S FIXED!!!! other things in the dash that were not working now work as a result of his repair. (because of the computer in the instrument cluster) Now my truck works like new, thanks to Jeff. Final cost... $430. If I could give True Blue Auto Care 10 Stars, I Highly Recommend to my friends and family. read more

Brought my car in for oil change. Impressed by clean waiting area, with hot water for coffee and hot chocolate (love hot chocolate) and a few local papers to read. They advised other services that should be done, but didn't push. I appreciated that. Reasonable prices. I know I need a transmission flush. Car Czar quoted $240. True Blue quoted $120. Which one would you go to? If you put a lot of miles on your car or have a few family cars,True Blue offers "Buy 3 oil changes get 4th free." Cool. read more

I took my Ford Focus in because it broke down. Saj was amazingly friendly, used my name, and assured me things were going to be ok. His customer service skills are off the charts! I was freaking out about what to do with my car and how much money it would cost, but he assured me that everything would be ok and we would figure it out. His friendliness and customer service was genuine and kept me calm. During the process of my car getting fixed, I was dealing with Jeff over the phone. He was very thorough at explaining what was wrong and how they would need to fix it. He also gave suggestions on what they could do that would save me money. For example, my ignition was broken by people getting my car off the trailer when it was towed. Jeff said he would try to see if there was a way he could fix it himself to just charge for labor if the damage wasn't too bad. And he did it! He saved me $300 by being a great mechanic. With all the stuff going on with my car, I was originally quoted $1100. But the guys worked their butts off and found ways to save my money and I ended up paying $873. Paying that much on my car still hurts, but things happen and I appreciate True Blue being so good to me! I know I will continue to only use them from now on because I trust them. read more

Had my brakes done at this place and they are the noisy all the time I've taken back several times they said they greased them a lot but they squeak and clank all the time. Other shops tools me it's because of cheap pads they use and not ceramic. The picture I attached is after they had my car 2 days and could not figure out what the problem was with my cooling system over heating , then I get it back this is what I walked out from work to find coolant all on the ground. They told me they couldn't find a leak any where! read more

I am from Colorado and was out here preparing my parents to move. The Check Engine light came on and I needed it fixed before towing a trailer across country. The team at True Blue were able to quickly diagnose my problem and did everything they could to fit me in for the 2 hour repair that was required. These guys are truly customer oriented and do fantastic work. If you need auto repairs this is your place. They are friendly, honest and do fantastic work. Finding someone you can trust is the key to keeping your vehicle on the road. Thank you True Blue for getting me back on the road!!! read more

Honesty, Integrity & Quality is their motto and they live up to it every time I take one of my vehicles to them. Last month I took my classic 1956 F-100 to them for an inspection before putting it up for sale. It came through with flying colors.... Last week I took them my "replacement" truck for the same thing. I thought that all it would need would be a tune-up... I was wrong. They looked up the maintenance schedule for the truck and found that the tune-up is still thousands of miles away from being needed. However, Jeff found that the radiator was hanging on by a fraction of an inch of metal. Somehow the previous owner had done something that caused the radiator mounts to break leaving it in a bad situation. Saj sent me some pictures and then called with the good-bad news. Tune-up later.... good. Radiator replacement should be done now... bad. Jeff had completed a full inspection of the 13-year-old truck and found the radiator problem and a few minor things that Saj suggested I could do myself (change light bulbs and wiper blades). Later the next day I get a call that the truck is ready. GREAT service. GREAT communication. NO pressure to do things that I know a dealer would "guilt" me into having done. HONESTY, INTEGRITY & QUALITY !!! Thank you, Saj and Jeff for taking care of my cars and trucks over the years. read more

Very friendly, fast service, and convenient. The only thing I noticed was the paperwork is strangely not specific, not filled out- how much oil you needed or what type, if they filled the tires or not, just a detail thing but I like keeping track of the fluid levels etc. I will definitely go back though, very nice all around. read more

True Blue consistently offers reliable and honest high quality repairs! I'm happy to have found them, and honored to refer them! read more

Excellent, friendly service. An honest mechanic that you can rely on to get the job done right and tell you what's needed, what's recommended, and what you can do yourself. I use True Blue over the dealership for routine maintenance and any big things that come up. read more

Saj and Jeff are GREAT. I have had them repair my Avalon 3 times now. Once for an emergency gas line replacement before a scheduled vacation. They came through at a very fair price! They are friendly and knowledgeable and willing to work with me on what I want or don't want. I now rearrange my work schedule for them to do the work rather than pay the higher prices that dealerships charge. Getting ready to bring it in for basic transmission service and air and cabin filter change because they are doing pick up and delivery during the Pandemic. Great customer service! I highly recommend. read more
