Had amazing, quick service! Prices were competitive! I have a 13 year old car, was very skeptical about fixing but glad I did. Owner was awesome... Thank you!!! read more

Our experience was extremely disappointing. The shop never called to let us know our truck was ready, then left it locked behind the gate over the weekend on Friday without any communication. We drove to the shop to pick it up and were left standing outside with no answer and no way to access our vehicle. This is one of the most unprofessional auto shops we've dealt with. Customer communication and basic courtesy seem to be an afterthought. Keeping a customer's vehicle inaccessible without notifying them is unacceptable. We would not recommend this shop to anyone looking for reliable customer service. The worst!!! read more

He is a keeper!!!! read more

Ron has been around for a long time, his work has always been solid. I recently had 4 brakes done, the work was excellent the pricing fair, the timing as promised and the attitude and service an A+. I have been going to him for years and finally decided that he deserves a good review. read more

I drive 40 miles to this shop just to get my oil changed and any other work that's needed. The owner is extremely honest, reliable and a true professional man! read more

Hot and cold air still blowing after getting my AC serviced. I experienced this on the same day I picked my car up. The very next day, my radiator overheated on my way home from work. So I had to ger my car towed. It's very odd that I experienced both of these issues right after getting it serviced here. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A & R AUTOTECH in Lincoln , CA. It's hard to find an honest, reliable and quality auto repair mechanic with a fair price. I received good solid recommendations & service repairs from Ron (owner). In my opinion, he went above and beyond what the typical auto service shops provide nowadays. Talking with him brought me back to the days when shops actually took the time to talk with their customers and build a trustworthy business relationship. He not only told me what was needed for my vehicle, he showed me so I could see it for myself. And, explained what I was looking at. He also let me know what could wait and what needed immediate attention. In addition, he gave me valuable information on what vehicle(s) to purchase and best places to purchase in the future if I decide to go that route since my car was so old (2001) and parts for it are becoming obsolete. Ron's advice was gold to me. I ended up buying a newer year car from a place he suggested and brought it to him to inspect before sealing the deal with the car dealership. He found some issues with the vehicle that needed to be repaired. I took his estimate back to the dealership and was able to get the repairs covered in FULL by the dealership AND for Ron to be the one to complete the repairs...which were great! Ron's help was PRICELESS! read more

I recently needed a quick repair on my 2012 Toyota Corolla. I pulled up and Ron no sooner had diagnosed the problem, had it on the racks, fixed my problem, and I was on my way. Fair, honest, and timely. That's the right way to run a car repair shop!! read more

This place was fast, honest, fair and had lots of Aloha in their customer service with our 1997 Toyota Camry. They will be our new mechanics. read more

Ron knows his stuff and is an honest mechanic, which is something that is really hard to find.

Unfortunately I've had to come here a lot recently for various reasons on my Subaru. They replaced my wheel hub assembly. Then my car overheated, and they replaced the thermostat, water pump, timing belt, pulleys, etc. Then I had a check engine light and they replaced the plugs and wires. Now my radiator exploded and I just scheduled another appointment. I like the fact that you can supply your own new parts as long as they're quality parts. Don't cheap out here. Stick to oem or oem quality. Labor rates are pretty standard for the area. When they changed the water pump, timing belt, and pulleys, they charged me for one job (not three separate jobs). My only complaint is that it sometimes takes awhile to get your car back. They're short on mechanics. read more

A & R Autotech - Fixed a bearing issue on my 2007 Subaru Forester. I supplied my own spindle, just to make sure it wouldn't fail in the future. - Auto Repair Near Me - Lincoln, California

I took my f-150 in because my AC was warm . Turned out my condenser was leaking. Ron replaced it and I now have super cool air! Thanks Ron!!! read more

I'm sorry to have to write this negative review against A&R. I have never done this before. I brought my car in for a rattle to be diagnosed and repaired. $910.60 later I still have the noise, only its worse! He won't cover it under warranty. He replaced parts that we only a year old with new, trying to find the problem. Now he tells me that its inside the transmission. Why didn't he say that in the beginning? This guy is all about the money. If you are a senior, STAY AWAY!!! Terrible experience, I now have a car that is no longer drive-able after following his advice. I don't know if this is elder abuse, but it sure feels like it. All he wants to do is argue and doesn't want to fix it. UGH! I'm going to file a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs. read more

A&R has been taking care of my cars for years and they do a fantastic job! Recently my daughter's Mini Cooper was having a ton of issues. A&R got us in right away and they fixed all the issues quickly and for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend!! read more

Ron was very nice and got me in the same day so I'm kind of pained to have to write a negative review. We're new in town and was hoping to find a new family mechanic for our vehicles based on the rave Yelp reviews- I'm sad to say, we're still looking. We have a pretty old vehicle- 26 years old to be exact- but it's been dependable and well taken care of and it is my husband's commuter car so it's pretty important to our family. My husband has a 30 minute commute and the car began shaking, stalling at lights, and is sometimes hard to start. It's been going on for a while and he was finally worried enough that he didn't feel safe. Ron got us in and my husband explained all the issues. We dropped it off and he called a couple hours later to say that the front tires were bad and the alignment was off so that was the reason for the shaking. He gave me the option of 2 tires: a good one for $91 or a better one for $112. I told him the $91 would be fine. I would normally go to a tire shop for tires rather than a mechanic shop but it was already there and being worked on; 2 birds 1 stone. He told me he was waiting for it to cool down so he could figure out why it was having trouble starting and he would let me know. This was at 10:30am. I didn't hear back from him until 4:30 when he said it was ready to be picked up. I was a bit surprised but relieved it was done and asked for a total- $600. I was a bit speechless but we went down to pick it up and I asked what was wrong with it. He informed me he had replaced all 4 tires and it was $100 for a diagnostic. Yet, nothing was repaired except for a wire that had come lose. I asked if he was able to do the alignment and he said "no". I asked if he figured out why it was stalling and he said he didn't know but it may need a tune up. For $100 diagnostic, I would really like to know what is wrong with it! I really think the communication should have been better and I would've liked to receive an estimate before giving the go ahead for 4 tires. If I would've been told that I was just receiving new tires for $600, I would've gone to pick it up and gotten better tires for less. read more

Will be reported to the BBB, yes Ron was fast and diagnosed my vehicles issues. Said he wasn't going to charge me for the diagnostic fee. Ended up on my receipt. Along with another extra hour of charges. Brought him two of my vehicles again the work was done in a timely manner. I asked him to change the brakes. He failed to tell me that the rotors needed to be changed so not even 30 days later car is still shaking now I need both new brakes and rotors. Multiple extra fees on the receipt //extra hourly charges. charge is $110 for an oil change. No proof of oil being synthetic. Needless to say both my vehicles are still running like shit even after spending $1500. Thanks buddy really appreciate you.! read more

We've been going here for several years. Price is good - and service is great. Ron seems to care about value and trust. This means he pays great attention to you and your car. He and his crew are busy so be a little patient to this small business. read more

Ron saved our vacation! We were visiting my father in law in Lincoln when we noticed our car AC went out. We had many hours of our trip ahead of us and stopped into A&R Autotech with our desperate and sweaty plea. Ron prioritized our car and fixed our AC quickly! We were on our way within an hour. This place is amazing and we wished we lived closer to continue taking our car here! read more

These guys essentially do a great job. But they overcharge you and have hidden fees you don't know about until later. I took my car in to have an oil change done. Great. He then told me that my cabin filter was dirty. Great. I told him he could change it. He charged me $40.00. I didn't know they cost that much. They don't. They charge only $11.00 for it online. I felt stiffed and angry. Never again. This guy is shady. read more

I can always rely on Ron to do an excellent job on my car. I won't take my car to anyone else. He's been mechanic for many years. He is honest and trustworthy. read more

I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your car, Jill! :( But to be fair... They've been fixing my car for the past few years now and I have never really had any problems with their service. My car is running great and their price are pretty reasonable too. 4 thumbs up for this shop!!! :) read more

For the longest time, I have been looking for a good, HONEST, and reliable mechanic after having back-to-back bad experiences (where I had to take my car in multiple times and leave for days without fixing the problem) at service center where I purchased my car in Roseville. Yesterday my car gave out on me and at 10 AM this morning I dropped off my car at A&R Auto Tech here in Lincoln after looking at different shops. I spoke to Ron (I think the owner) I told him what happened to my car. He said that he would diagnosed the car and would let me know what the problem was and how much it would cost to fix it. I also told him that I had a warranty with my car through the dealership that I purchased it (I would NOT take back to again for work). He said it wouldn't be an issue. He called me and told me what the problem was, how much it will cost and how long it would take him to fixed it. He was very patient with my warranty company because they kept putting him in on hold for 30 minutes or more each time he called with no one picking up. I even called them and they could do anything for me!! He kept me up to date with everything what was happening. By 4pm I had my car and driving off!! Ron and A&R Auto Tech worked quickly with fixing my car, handled ALL the paper work and compared to my original quote from dealership, I paid a fraction of the cost. He seems like a down to earth honest guys and I like that. Highly recommend if your having car issues!! Thanks again Ron. read more

It was a surprise to find, when we took our 1995 Honda to A & R for a side window repair that this company is not just a glass repair shop but a genuine down to earth auto repair shop. The job was completed at a reasonable price and with great courtesy. However the best thing out of this experience is that they are Honda fans and I feel I can trust them with any future problems I have with trying to keep our old car going. Many thanks for your help. read more

Yelp does a business right . Read the reviews followed my gut instinct and I wasn't wrong. Ron has great customer service and he is honest with the services your car needs. Please tell them Ryan sent you and you be disappointed. read more

This shop is super honest and helpful. This is hard to find especially if you're like me and you don't know about cars. They're great.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!! A rat had crawled up into my a/c system and was decomposing... The summer heat was leaving my truck smelling horrific. I called Monday, 7/3, and explained my situation. Ron (the owner) told me to come by, and once he smelled how bad things were he for me he fit me in and took care of my truck personally. Ron found the dead rat, showed me where it was, and even put a deodorizer in my system. 1. He got me in right away on a holiday weekend when everyone else had me waiting at least a week. 2. He charged me less than 1/2 of every other quote I had gotten 3. He explained everything to me and was incredibly nice. I won't go anywhere else!!! Ron at this shop is a wizard and is incredible. read more

We headed here via a recommendation from numerous Lincoln neighbors... Our AC wasn't working in our car during an awful heat wave. The issue was fixed within a day, and the cost was $700 less than the quote from the dealership. Honest & efficient - we'll definitely be coming back! read more

So glad I found Ron's shop. Excellent and fast service, a rarity in today's auto service world

I was 100% satisfied with my service. I had been quoted over $600 to replace 1 fuel injector in my vehicle from Firestone. I called and Ron informed me that's to much and explained to me what the repair entailed and the price for the part, He is very knowledgable and truly seems to be about the customer. A & R Auto Tech was able to replace my fuel injector for under $300. I was in shock at the differences in the amount. Also the shop closes at 5 and Ron offered to stay late so I could pick up my vehicle when I got off work at 5:30. I highly recommend this shop! I will be taking my vehicle here from now on. read more

I moved to Lincoln in Sept of 2015 and wanted to find a local mechanic. Since then I have brought 2 vehicles in for repair, both needing diagnosis. Ron was quick to let me know what the problems were and get them fixed at a better than reasonable price. I have had bad experiences at other shops and it is not easy to earn my trust, but I will continue to bring my vehicles to Ron. read more

Ron was excellent. I knew what I thought was wrong, he didn't charge me for verification of the problem and the estimate I received on the phone was honored. I asked about a few other parts, he had looked at them and gave me free advice (not to replace yet!). Great place, also the only shop that gave me a quote quickly, without having to call me back. Most other shops didn't even return my call with an estimate. read more

Ron was able to diagnose why my car was hissing under the hood within 5 minutes after I brought it in. Super trustworthy and let me know the cost straight up. read more

On friday my car broke down. With me being in a town I do not live in and all by myself, I called auto zone who referred me to A&R Auto. They were able yo direct me to their shop and find out what the problem was in a mattet of minutes. They quoted me a price that I could afford, and fixed it quickly. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and appreciated for my business. If I ever break down in lincoln again. You will see me again. Thank you A&R auto. read more

I know absolutely nothing about cars. I'm probably really naive in thinking that when I pay for a service, it's done properly, correctly, ethically, etc... I normally take my car to the dealership and pay a fortune. My car is finally paid off with 137000 miles. I know I'll need a new car soon but I'm trying to hold off. Anywho, I noticed green sludge dripping under the right side of my car. I debated for a long time whether or not to go to dealership or try a local automotive shop. I chose the later. I'm glad I did. Ron is cool and gets straight to the point. I felt he really tried to help me. He went outside and showed me exactly where my leak was coming from. Smh! He kept me up to date on the status of my car while it was being repaired. I actually get anxiety when I take my car to dealership and feel pressured to have more things done to my car than what I came in for. I didn't feel pressured to do any more than I had to do at A&R. He even showed me the parts that had come off of my car, not that I would know about any of it anyways. I'm glad I found a mechanic!! I'll be back. read more

I recommend this auto shop, Ron is very helpful, honest mechanic. My son took his Used 2007 Scion to be inspect in a different auto shop because of a squeaking sound, that place was charging him $900 cause they want to change some parts. It was too expensive so i told my son to take the car to Ron for second opinion and when he checked the car, he said it just needs to be clean, the break pads and other stuff doesn't need to be replace yet. He saved my son from spending $$$. Its hard to find un honest mechanic. Im so glad that we met Ron. read more

I have been looking for an automotive repair shop I can call my own since moving to Lincoln 10 years ago. I have been to various mechanics in Lincoln, Rocklin, and Roseville and still no place to call "home." That is, until now! Ron is very experienced, personable, professional, and most importantly...HONEST! He brought me into his shop and SHOWED me, and then explained to me, what was happening with my vehicle. He is now "my mechanic," which brings a lot of peace of mind to me. He ONLY CHARGES for the work he performs with no hidden costs or jacked up prices! For repair that does need to be done he is very competitive. He works on foreign and domestic vehicles alike. I can't recommend him highly enough. I'm very happy to give my business to a local, honest man, who works hard and can be trusted when my vehicles need a check-up or repair! read more
