Split radiator

There are people who leave footprints on your heart . These are the folks that go out of their way to treat you as if you are the most important person, deserving of their full attention. That was how I felt with my entire Advanced Automotive experience. My car died, smoking and overheating 30 miles south of Redding. Mary called to confirm AAA had set me up with their shop and they would have a mechanic ready. I explained AAA informed me that tow truck drivers wouldn't, beca of COVId, take passengers. She reassured me I would not be stranded, someone from Advanced Automotive would pick me up If needed. and reassured me I would be taken care of. Made me feel my safety and well being was her priority. When i I got to the shop, Mary greeted me as if we were old friends. Brayden got all the details of my breakdown. He was very kind, re-assuring, positive and upbeat, I told him he would have a hard time topping my opinion of Mary. As her kindness and compassion choked me up. 3 hours later Cody Morelock, Owner, called with the diagnosis/bad news. He thoroughly and slowly explained what had happened. Radiator split, severe overheating, no compression, thermal, transmission damage. It's a 20 year old car. He'd obtained information on parts, costs, and explained to me pros and cons. He explained in all good conscience, he'd advise against repairs because of the magnitude of the repairs, damage, and costs. He said he had to live with and sleep at night and be at peace with what he recommends to owners. You can tell by the shop's employee positivity, bantering, and overall environment that it's a great place to work. I was treated with honesty, integrity and compassion. I feel with Cody and his staff, it's not just a business, but a love and passion dealing with people and their vehicles. It's personal.

Cody and his crew were nice enough to drive the 5 miles to pick it up (and the 5 miles back to drop it off).

This shop is awesome! Andy, the owner, was super kind and genuinely honest in helping me. I knew I needed a new battery and thought I needed my alternator looked at, but he assured me that it was just a battery issue. He took the time to explain the issue and made a few calls around to get a new battery delivered within 30 minutes. Check this place out if you want to work with an honest and efficient crew :)

AutoWorks has been working on my Tesla door handle since my first appointment on February 3rd.

My car was in and out of their shop 6 times and they were never able to make the repair. I was unable to open my driver's door, kind of a problem I finally said maybe I need to take it to the Chico Tesla service center, Tory at AutoWorks agreed saying they were frustrated. Tory agreed to fully refund me my money, now two weeks later they are gosting me. I am super disappointed in their unprofessional behavior. I have been very understanding and patient inspite of having to bring my car in 6 times and leave it and make transportation arrangements. AutoWork advertises they are proficient in working on Tesla's, I would strongly disagree with that. Tesla in Chico was able to make the repair, it was not the door handle that was the problem.

I had my serpentine belt replaced at this shop before leaving on a trip. Ron was great about…read moregetting us in last minute to do the repair, and I appreciated that at the time. However, shortly afterward -- while we were out of town -- the serpentine belt came off completely. We were stranded for hours with my kid being put at risk at a side of a road and had to find an emergency mechanic to install a new one properly. A newly installed serpentine belt should not come off if installed correctly, which raises serious concerns about the workmanship. When we called the shop while stranded, the phone was answered, but Ron was unavailable and busy at the time. We were left to figure the situation out on our own. When I went back on Tuesday, Ron wasn't there, and the staff present seemed annoyed that they had to reimburse the emergency repair cost. Although the shop refunded what I paid the emergency mechanic, they refused to refund the original amount I paid them for the repair that clearly failed. If a repair fails due to improper installation, customers should not have to pay for that failed service. I am asking the shop to take full responsibility and refund the original payment. I hope they choose to stand behind their work and make this right. Until then, I cannot recommend this business.

I bought very expensive aftermarket bulbs but discovered the front bumper must be removed to change the light housing which I also wanted to replace. I saw this body shop had high stars on Yelp so I called to ask if they would perform the work. Their immediate response was "no" and "we don't do that kind of work and only install OEM components." I kindly asked " do you recommend anyone else that will do this work for me?". Immediate "nope, you'll just have to call around" They were about as helpful as a broken fence post and could care less in my opinion. My next phone call was to Underhood Automotive. Immediately helpful and professional. Chris said they do this kind of work all the time and install DOT legal headlights on older Shasta County Search and Rescue vehicles. Every single question I asked was answered. I live 4 hours away from Redding so coordinating this was somewhat of a Challenge. Chris even told me my mom's car had loud squeeking brakes and he would inspect those as well. Strong Automotive has high stars so I'm guessing their body work is pretty good but customer service is also very important and in this department, they have a long way to go.
