Friendly, informative a d helpful. Gave us advice for a unique situation we were in and able to offer us alternatives.

I would highly recommend Above Auburn Automotive. Grant was professional, knowledgeable, and an expert mechanic. He replaced my brakes (front and back) and replaced my water pump. My brakes feel like they did when I drove my truck off the lot 13 years ago, and the water pump is working perfect. He performed all the work in my driveway and when he left there was no sign of the work that had been done. The best part was that he came to my home and the price was no more (actually less) than it would have been if I had taken it to a shop. Super trust worthy stand up guy. I will definitely call on him again next time I need work done on one of my cars. Thanks Grant! read more

I was referred to Grant through a friend as I was looking to buy a truck on private party. He was responsive, flexible with scheduling and arrived on time. His knowledge was vast and inspection very thorough. He saved me buying a truck that could have been a lot of headaches. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent service. I needed a pre-inspection before buying a van. I got a quote very quickly and Grant came out to look at van within a few hours. He sent me photos and explained what he saw and what it would cost for repairs. Price was very reasonable for thorough inspection. I would definitely use them again and absolutely recommend them. Very professional read more

Grant is a real gem. He is highly skilled, with a broad depth of mastery at his craft, AND he's communicative and honest. I've had a few unfortunate experiences in the past 6 months that caused me to require his services and he's shown up ASAP with all the tools to get the fix done right, right away. He's saved me a lot of headache and expense by being available at unusual times and in sticky situations. As a woman, I am always a little nervous working with auto mechanics because I've had experiences in the past where they have tried to take advantage of my lack of knowledge in the automotive department. That's not the case with Grant. He has proven himself honest, straightforward, and highly capable on every occasion I have worked with him. He has taken the time to explain what needs to be done and has followed through according to the plan we have made together, on time and on budget (and even sometimes under budget!) If you need a mechanic, don't hesitate to call Grant at Above Auburn. I recommend his services and skills wholeheartedly! read more

This was honestly the best experience I've ever had with a mobile mechanic. Grant was prompt, realistic, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I snapped a bolt off on my water pump when I was replacing it over the weekend. He was able to remove the broken bolt with zero damage to the housing. He helped get it mounted again even replaced the Vacuum pump belt as well while he was here. Very fairly priced and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services in the future. Seriously folks, he's one of the very best out there! There's a reason why he has so many great reviews and it's because he really is that phenomenal. read more

He was very friendly and hopeful. Like the friendly neighbor next door. Made to feel comfortable. He was able to find out I had a very simple problem. And giving my situation. Being homeless. When I asked him how much. He said bless you and, get back up on your feet. And even offered to come back to install the part if I'm unable to myself. I would definitely recommend Grant to anybody who needs help. He's a great guy and trustworthy. I don't know if he's a real man. Or an angel sent to me today. But I feel blessed to have met him. May God bless you grant and all that is yours. read more

Grant is the mechanic we all need - knowledgeable, reliable, conscientious, and kind. His mobile pre-purchase inspection was exactly what we needed with a long-distance potential purchase. I only wish I lived closer so he could be my always mechanic! Great service and excellent value. I can't recommend highly enough. read more

UPDATE; In May, Grant came to my home and Diagnosed that my Oxygen sensors with 191,000 miles were shot. As well as other problems. He told me it would affect my MPG. And he was Right. My 98 Ford Explorer even has more Power. And I enjoy it even more after following his advice. Thanks, Grant.! read more

So helpful, honest, easy. Fixed issues other car people said would cost x4 the price. We became friends right after

Grant literally saved my life. My axle went out on my car and I was looking at mobile mechanics in my area. He responded right away and scheduled a same day appointment. I told him the problems I was having and he went above and beyond for the work on my car. I feel safe, my car feels wonderful, he was very knowledgeable and easy conversation. I camt recommend him enough! I will be telling everyone about him! Do not hesitate! read more

My daughter was treated like family! She needed some work done on her car. They do great work! Thank you so much! read more

Had an emergency brake and rotor change that needed done that was rusted beyond belief and needed a few extra parts alongside. He was very quick and down to the point on what needed done and how to keep up with it. His response time was super quick and I will 100% be calling him again if I ever have an emergency again. He got everything done perfectly and my car can finally get out of my driveway again!! read more

Grant is fantastic! Great service, prices and knowledge!. I highly recommend him - he is really the best!

Highly recommend Grant. He gave me an estimate for the work to be done, showed up on time and the final invoice was $100 cheaper than his estimate. read more

Grant was awesome and I would recommend him to anyone. He changed out my rear brake pads and replaced a rotor he did not know was damaged until he started the work. He was incredibly responsive and came out when he said he would. He was also extremely fair priced and loved my dog which is a bonus and a good indicator of a great person! My only regret is he doesn't do clutch replacements! Thanks again Grant! read more

Grant. S. Owner of Above Auburn Auto is NOT being honest when explaining what happened. Grant. S. stated he was driving by (Truckee) anyway to visit his father in Reno AND without even seeing for himself stated there was construction on the freeway and he would have to wait in traffic to reach us, so therefore he would have to charge me more monies because of this. I told him there was zero construction and Grant. S. argued with me, citing his neighbor told him about the construction and traffic. He refused to listen to me because he wanted more monies. End of story! I declined his services because he's bullish, arrogant and a con-man. My child repaired our vehicle for less than $50. Grant. S. also sent me numerous text messages that border threats and harrasment. Grant. S. states I've left all negative reviews for several businesses. I say...so what...none of your business Grant. S. That's what Yelp is for. To alert the public of crapy businesses like Above Aburn Auto! Another lie by Grant. S. I'm not seeking out a company to accommodate me or kiss my behind. I am looking for a company that won't rip me off and is transparent. Obviously, Above Auburn Auto is not transparent and will treat you as if you're common trash. Again, I would never recommend Grant. S. with Above Aburn Auto to repair anything. read more

Grant really helped me out when I was in a pinch over a long holiday weekend! He not only correctly diagnosed the issue with my old Tacoma (bad head gasket, among other issues), but he also was able to repair my engine in a relatively short timeframe. He was very fair, transparent, and communicative. He even took the time to explain the diagnostics and repair process, including sending me photo updates along the way. I will most definitely be returning for future repair needs! read more

Can't say enough good things about Above Auburn Automotive. Quick phone call for brake service and Grant was able to order the parts he needed, scheduled for the next day. Showed up on time and completed the job in a timely fashion. He found that we only needed to replace the rear brake pads (even though I told him we needed all new pads and rotors as another shop in the past had told me I needed) which just goes to show how honest and trustworthy he is. Great price and a happy customer. He'll be my first call for any future problems read more

Wow-what a life saver Grant was! While on our way to Tahoe pulling our travel trailer our truck was having issues. He got to us in 20 minutes at 7 pm, spent time on our car ensuring it was safe after adding coolant and then following us another 10 miles to a local gas station to check on us before going over the pass. So thankful for him and the reasonable price for an emergency situation! read more

I would highly recommend Above Auburn Automotive. We were on our way from Lake Tahoe to the Bay Area on Sunday night and our Mercedes ML 320 developed problems that later was traced to a broken serpentine belt. Fortunately I had the presence of mind to yelp "Mercedes repair". I chose Above Auburn because he responds to messages quickly and within 10 minutes I was talking to him on the telephone. Grant met us at our hastily found local hotel the following morning as there was nothing that can be done on late Sunday night. He diagnosed the problem, fixed it and we were quickly on our way. His communication and diagnostic skills were top notch. He was very fair with his pricing and I never felt being "up sold" for the repairs I needed. He gave us solid advice on using factory versus aftermarket parts. He is very professional, courteous and does his work with pride. Now I am glad having found a great auto mechanic in case we ever need help in the area again read more

Very lucky to have found this technician while searching Yelp. Grant completed a front brake service at an exceptional value relative to dealer prices and other local shops, and also completed a new vehicle inspection on another vehicle. Grant was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and most importantly, extremely trustworthy. He located a few problems the dealership missed on inspection and even dissuaded me from a few services that they had proposed which he explained in detail that didn't need to be completed at the current time. After years and years of service performed at dealerships and local shops, I wish I would have located Grant sooner. Super pleased to have found a trustworthy and accredited mechanic! read more

I tried to get out a spark plug for 12 hours and couldn't get it out. I called above auburn, they came to the truck on raw land, got it out in an hour. Great work and will call again if I'm in a jam. Great price, had to leave a tip. read more

This is the easiest and most stress free way I have ever dealt with car troubles! My car broke down as I was leaving camp and I was about 200 miles from my home, way too far for AAA to tow me. I went to yelp and Above Auburn was the first number that popped up, Grant answered immediately and I explained my situation. He told me he could drive to me (crazy!! has any automotive repair EVER done that??) but I was on the side of the freeway, and AAA was already there so I said I would be towed to him. The tow truck dropped off my car while I stayed with some friends and Grant continued to update me over text about the status of my car, when it was brought to him and what needed to be done. I was sent a quote via email with extremely reasonable prices and was told my car would be ready later that day. I arrived at Grants at home Auto Repair early because I was driven by a friend, and my car wasn't ready. No problem!! Grant gave me an awesome hiking Trail around the corner, and I wandered off until he texted me that he was finished! He explained everything to me, told me what he did, and then recommended I get some additional alignment work done, which he explained that he would have done had he possessed the proper tools. He also adjusted his original quote to be less because it took less work/time. Thank you for making an extremely undesirable situation so easy going and cool! You can definitely trust Grant for any of your car troubles read more

Above Auburn Automotive Master Tech - Hiking trail Grant gave me! - Auto Repair Near Me

Incredible. I don't know what other word to use. Not only was he able and willing to work with us day of but was completely transparent about the price. He was able to adjust our estimate after the work because he didn't need to work on a few of the things we had originally thought he needed to. He was so honest about what we did and didn't need: that's a must for us! Transparent, honest, kind, just absolutely incredible. He suddenly has another set of customers for life! read more

Called to see if Grant could do a pre purchase inspection. Short notice, after hours. No problem he says. Super responsive, shows up, all the tools jumps right in. Talk about energy! He basically swarms the car and is giving me the play by play as he goes through this 4runner with a fine tooth comb. Amazing job. I couldn't be happier. Great job read more

I found my new mechanic today. not only is Grant friendly as heck but reliable and honest. How often does that happen anymore. Thanks Grant Robert read more

I used Grant for an inspection of a used car I was looking at. For a reasonable price he came to the car and gave me great insights into 'blemishes' I would not have seen. We didn't buy the car largely because of his evaluation. It was worth the money to not get stuck with a lemon. read more

Grant is great. My truck started sputtering on the way to work. I requested service through yelp and he was the first to respond. He told me when he could get there and was right on as far as his estimate. He fixed my truck while I worked and provided great value. I will recommend him to all my co workers read more

Wonderful exoerience!! Definitely recommended him to anyone I know. Very trustworthy! Thanks again for the great service.

Grant is the BOMB. Needed some minor work on our Silverado. He was between stops, said he would be right over (he was). Took care of the the truck in about 45 minutes. Not only is he a terrific mechanic, he is extremely personable. Explains as he goes. Does not try to upsell. Too bad there are only 5 stars available. Would absolutely recommend him. This is our second experience with him (the first was to analyze a basket case Nissan Altima) which was beyond repair but he offered a solution as to its disposal which worked out for us. We will call on him again. Keep rolling Grant, you may be one of the last honest auto repair options available. read more

Great communication and fair pricing, came out to our house same day to quickly solve the problem. Would hire again, thank you!

Grant has been great to work with: fairly priced, knowledgeable, and skilled. I feel confident that the work he does is being done correctly. read more

This guy was awesome. Got us back on the road fast. Make this your frist call if you break down.

So our battery died in our car on the way coming back from Reno it was late Sunday evening nothing was open and due to Covid getting a tow was out of the question since you can't ride in the car with anybody I found above Auburn automotive on yelp and sent a message and was pleased the response time was almost immediate the guy was amazing fast and an awesome person I really strongly recommend giving him a call if you were in any need of automotive help he came out in the middle of a snowstorm to help us out we really appreciate it we had her baby in the car and it was very cold this guy saved our lives read more

Thanks Grant for being honest yesterday. I was ready to spend money on something that I found out later was not the case for my vehicle. Grant was able to assist me over the phone before he came out. It was exactly what he said. Thanks again Grant for being honest & not allowing me to go out there to be ripped off -Connie read more

Engine light came on day after Thanksgiving and Grant jumped to action to asses the situation. Top notch customer service. Would work with again. read more

Grant is a life saver. We were moving from SF to Reno and our Lincoln Navigator w/ a U-Haul trailer hitch started leaking coolant fluid, so we parked on the side of the road. Desperate for help, I yelped for an auto repair that's open on a Sunday. And, we luckily stumbled upon his mobile auto repair shop. He gave me an ETA of his arrival and got to us on time. He diagnosed our car. Unfortunately, we blew the gasket on the car. Grant was very informative & straight forward with us, and told us that it'll cost a lot of money to fix, so he gave us alternative solutions with our moving problem. He even pointed us to the nearest U-Haul spot where we can get a box truck. Overall, Grant went above and beyond which is very rare when it comes to auto mechanics. read more

Grant saved the day! He responded to my emergency request quickly and fixed my car on Friday of a holiday weekend when all the shops I called had a week long wait for an appointment. Amazing professional mobile mechanic service! read more
