When I went Automotive City for a smog check, the guys were friendly, expedient, and very customer-oriented. They even filled my tires with air and topped my cars fluids. The price was very competitive, too. Ill go back there for any future car repairs or needs.

A great experience overall! I called to ask them much they would charge for an inspection, and they said they would do it for free! They could have quoted me any amount of money, but they didnt. In the inspection they found only a few, very minor, issues where they could have made up something that needed to be fixed. They have gained my trust with there clear integrity and honesty.👍🏽

I had front end work done on my Dakota at the dodge dealership and was very disappointed in the results. After several attempts to have dodge fix it, I gave up. The awesome crew at automotive city took the time to listen to the problem I was having and after a little back and forth it was determined that the torsion bars were not set correctly. (Thanks a lot dodge 🙄). After years of hating diving my truck, I love it again. Rides almost as nice as it did when it was new. Thank you sooooo much.

I really enjoy the team at automotive city. I am a business owner myself and really appreciate their attention to detail and customer service. I bring all my business fleet vehicles as well as my personal vehicles to this location. Not one issue. Five stars in my opinion.

I had just picked my daughter up for the school next door and was leaving the parking lot, I heard a man yelling from the lot and stopped to see what he needed. My car is lowered so I drove on the grassy area, the gravel can be a challenge some times. He basically told me I couldn’t drive in that area ,something about potentially collapsing a septic tank and that the school asked him to be the parking lot police. Then he called the school and complain about me and said it was a fire hazard.The next day I come to pick up my daughter and the whole lot that I partially drove on was full of cars.And not a single person was talked to about it. Being a Person of color and having this type of experience from a business that doesn’t even own that land, speaks volumes to me, especially because the gentleman specifically said he wasn’t trying to “single me out”. I’m sure this company does great work but the way you treat people needs to be consistent.

Made my appointment to get smog check & health check/oil change. When I picked my vehicle the technician went over what was done and things to keep an eye on. Completed on time

After I recently wrecked my Hyundai Elantra, I immediately had it towed to Automotive City where they immediately got to work hunting down salvaged parts to save me some cash. After repairs were complete, my car now drives better than before my accident!

Ken and Spencer run a tight ship! Very professional, responsive, honest shop. I’ve used them for my 3 vehicles for over 10 years and have been happy with their services. I feel that I can trust them to do what’s necessary with my vehicles and not gouge me with unnecessary repairs.

Had a hose that ran the oil to the turbos in my engine blow. Was picked up by AAA the night before Thanksgiving. It took longer than I had hoped because of the holiday and weekend but it was worth it. Wasnt ripped off as a women, and because I was a AAA I received a 10% discount

This shop has been servicing my 2001 Honda Accord for years(since at least 2006) and theyve been great every step of the way. Theyre super honest and always timely. Whenever theres an update on a repair, if they need new parts or have other change of plans they call me. I will always recommend this shop.

Great experience. Kind, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Ken personally reviewed the work with us and explained the important elements and reasons behind the quality of work performed. Very professional, yet personable experience. Work was done precisely, on time, and under the estimated cost. I am VERY pleased with the result and the overall experience with Ken and his entire staff! I would give them 10 stars if it was possible. ;-)

Recently moved to the area and needed a shop to work on a purchased vehicle. I have been driving past Auto City for weeks since the move and said I need to stop in and get a feel on the operation and when I did Ken the owner, Spencer, & Dan were just awesome. The prices were par or better in most cases but the quality of attention, memory, and support was awesome. Automotive City is my goto mechanic and they will even help with making some aftermarket upgrades with a reasonable cost for labor and parts. They will also suggest certain upgrades to deal with known long term issues regarding your vehicle to make a more sound and reliable out come. Thanks guys.

As I mentioned to the owner of Automotive City recently, the service folks there are the best. It is so refreshing to deal with a service organization that obviously takes pride in their work and go to great length to show each and every customer that they care.Keep up the great job.B

Excellent work and customer service. Very thoughtful and knowledgeable staff. Family business based on experience, ability, integrity and honesty, and a lot of heart. We trust them to take care of all our family vehicles, and feel safer knowing our college kids have someone to call on when they need help too.

My parents and myself have been going to Automotive City for many years. They are very knowledgeable about all of our vehicles that range from BMWs, Mercedes, Acura and both of my Ford vehicles. They are very professional and have great technicians that will go over the work with you if you want. I highly recommend Automotive City and I will continue being a customer

As always, Automotive City was conscientious in doing a smog test on my old Honda CRV. I would think of them first in recommending a car repair and servicing business. Theyve always served me well.

I’m so grateful to have mechanics who care about me and my vehicle. They’re honest, dependable, knowledgeable, they tell it like it is, they get it right the first time and they don’t try to scam me by attempting to sell me services or parts I don’t need. I trust these guys and always feel safe taking my vehicle to them. That’s a big deal to me, especially since I’ve been taken advantage of by other auto repair companies because I’m a single, senior female.

I dont know how many of these reviews are really true and accurate but my experience was very different with Ken. I found his customer service to be very poor and unprofessional. My car was given back with trash left in it from the mechanics and had additional issues when the car car was returned. When I returned with my vehicle to let him know, he showed very little interest in diagnosing the now new problem but was quick to quote a price for his assumption. I will never go back. I found Ken to be very rude.By the way...Ken talks a lot about his reviews so he was very concerned that I not post a negative one. I am sure he tells everyone to post for him. I am posting this only to warn others. I am an honest person that doesnt want anyone else to go through what we did. There was no excuse for his behavior.

Recently my elderly mothers car had an issue with her rear windows. I wasnt really sure what was going on but didnt think it was a quick fix. I called Automotive City and they told me to tell her to come in whenever she could and they would take a look at it. She brought it in and Ken, the owner took a look at it and fixed it on the spot. They didnt charge her for their time and she was so happy! My Mom is hard of hearing which also is a challenge. Thank you so much for your help and for not taking advantage of a situation that many shops would have!

These guys are awesome ! I cant say enough good about them . I am a small business owner myself and strive to give the best personable service I can . Everyone I met at Automotive City was great , I was on vacation from Arizona visiting my family in grass valley . On my way there my front axle seals blew out , they got me in right away and got my van all fixed up so I could enjoy my visit with my family , they also right the next day squeezed me in for an alignment cause the one i had done right before leaving AZ was awfully done . Cheers to all you great folks at Automotive City I greatly appreciate all you did for me . They listened to my requests about the repair talked it all out with me and did a perfect job . I had smooth sailing all the way back to AZ . I will stop and say hello next time Im there visiting my family . Thanks again for all you do . Sincerely Marc Hanses

Just the best auto repair shop ever! I have an ancient car, but they treat the Green Goddess and me like we were both brand new. They do quality work at reasonable prices. How can you ask for anything more than that? Plus they are just nice guys as well.
