Spent $3500 on repairs here. Will NEVER return 3/12/2012

I decided to take my car here based on its convenient location and some great reviews. I was very impressed at first, with Todd, the owner. He was very friendly, personable and I left feeling like I was in good hands. When they called to tell me what was wrong with my car, they assured me that if I spent the money for a new timing belt and the money to fix what was wrong with my car, I?d easily get another 100,000 miles out of my older car. With some hesitation of over $3,000 worth of repairs, I finally agreed to the work, knowing that my car would be under warranty with them for a year if the work didn?t hold. A few months later, something else went wrong with my car and I had to bring it back in for another $400 worth of repairs. Repairs that they told me ?if you want your car to run, you have to do this?. So after spending around $3500 with this place, I ended up having to bring it back in because the original problem was back. I made an appointment for 9am with a 1:30 pick up. When I called at 1pm after not hearing from them, they told me they forgot to look at my car. They then claimed they couldn?t find what was wrong with my car (because they had my car for 4 hours and only spent 2 minutes with it.) I felt like I was completely taken advantage of here because I am a young woman. I felt like they could have cared less about the $3500 I spent with them, or that their original repairs didn?t hold. The owner is a very nice man, but mostly everyone else who works there is very unfriendly and unwelcoming. I will never be returning to this place. more

Expensive and Shady 9/13/2011

As the saying goes, ""fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."" I have to say shame on me for giving these guys the benefit of the doubt. Everytime they have worked on my car the repairs have been mediocre and expensive, and something major goes wrong within a week. I have a co-worker who experienced the same problems. I finally started taking my car to East Sac German Auto even though it is a lot farther away because they do quality work for a lot less money. more

The BEST Auto Repair Place In Town!!!!! 7/26/2010

Truly, I cannot say enough good things about this auto repair place (and I am not usually a fan of any)! They are honest, dependable, reasonably priced, and EXTREMELY kind!!! My husband had a new air conditioning compressor put in our van without knowing that our vehicle was still under warranty! The bill was a little over $900 (which was almost half of what the dealership would have charged!). My husband, my brother, and my 21 year old son all said that I would not be able to get any reimbursement from the car company. I was beyond stressed! Todd (the owner) spent over an hour with me discussing the details of the situation and was then able to get my ENTIRE refund back. I am so grateful and will be a customer for life! They truly are one in a million!! Pros: Honest, Dependable, Reasonably Priced, Will Go The Extra Mil more

Extremely sketchy place, will steal your $ 1/29/2010

I had my alternator go out on me last year and they quoted me $300-$400 including labor, when I came back to pay that cost had somehow doubled and I was forced to pay it. The problem was never fixed and I had gone back twice to have them fix it properly which they just can't seem to do. My car still has the same whining problem and they tell me that the belt has to be tightened or loosened every time the temperature changes. Excuse me?? I paid $750 for you to fix my car and you gave me a bad belt or don't know what is even going on with my car?? I'm also finding out now that tightening the belt is extremely harmful for the car and the whining problem with the bad alternator they probably gave me will also allow the new one to fail soon. They are just trying to steal my money, and I'm a college student! Pros: Deceivingly nice staff Cons: Will up your cost and not fix your car properly more

At last, A shop that truly cares about you and your vehical. 2/26/2009

I took my SUV to Gold River Auto Repair and got treated like my business really mattered. I was welcomed by the owner (Todd Shaw) and all of his staff. I felt like I was home with family. Pros: great customer service, Hot coffee,Never misled Cons: Even though the repairs are very resonable, No one likes to spend money for repairs:) more
