Split radiator
Shelly S.

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.

Premier Oil Change - Debris under seat, still a bunch of sand in the gas/trunk lever area.

Premier Oil Change

So with this review it will go into two sections. The first part of this review is to throw my…read moreappreciation to Aiden and DJ I believe. About 2 hours before we arrived at the oil change center in which by the way we had no plans to get our oil change. We were heading down market street on our way to play a wiggle ball game and when we reached market and twin view light I noticed a little kitten in the center divide section. I stoped and put my hazard lights on and got out soon after that then the kitten ran under the car under the engine compartment. We pulled over alone with a good samaratin to try and get the kitten out of the engine area. After 10 minutes or so we didn't succeed so I had no choice but to carry on to wiffle ball. We were playing for about hour and half. After the game we looked in the engine compartment area and the kitten was still there. Tried again to get the kitten out with the help of 5 or 6 friends and again...... not happening. So I figured I needed an oil change anyway so headed to premier hoping they could help. As we pulled in the asked of course are you here for an oil change and I said yes but I'm also here to see if you can get a kitten out of the top engine compartment. With our hesitation 2 workers took about 4 minutes till they got to the kitten. They took the kitten out and said they will call animal rescue. Those 2 were very polite and were willing to go the extra mile for just a little kitten that was scared very much. This was a black kitten I would hope someone who reads this will adopt. Just the fact that this little thing escaped the traffic and then survived roughly 5 or 6 miles by an engine. Makes this little guy with more than 9 lives.

BEWARE! Oil was supposed to be changed and it was only DRAINED!!!…read more I would not trust this place and hopefully I can save someone else from the pain!

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.
