Take my word for it, Rich is as honest as they come. I am not a mechanic but in almost all cases have done my own repairs and upgrades for over 40 years. My recent situation was a 'simple' repair and upgrade requiring a lift, and a 4 wheel alignment. So I found Auburn Service Center by referral from my smog guy (Thomas at California Smog). Took my car in for inspection and an estimate ... shocker ... a mechanic 'building up' the repair costs? Rich tells me there are also some 'other' things needing replacement (a bent rear trailing arm and a front sway link). Rich SHOWED me his concerns and sure enough it was just as he said. Final cost ($398.15) was still below the $450 - $600 I was expecting to pay and it included the additional work. Bottom line is, I have no reservation using Auburn Service Center for all my future repairs, possibly including some I would typically do myself. Oh, and my car now drives straight as an arrow with hands off the wheel, so it was a good alignment. read more

Linda and her crew did a phenomenal job fixing up my car despite the fact that it was a complicated process. They went above and beyond to help ensure that the process was a smooth as possible. The team has great customer service and they are super transparent and fair about the pricing of services. They're also very patient with me asking a bunch of questions as I work on being more knowledgeable about my car. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable mechanic shop in Auburn. read more

Very comfortable with rates. They have a very honest team, you get the good bad or ugly.

This is by far the best auto mechanic I've ever been to. Brennan runs the front desk and has the best customer service I've ever experienced. They are trustworthy and have honest upfront pricing. Every single item even the disposal costs are itemized in your receipt so you know what you are paying for. I called the day of for a brake job and they got me in, a Friday none the less, and got it done before 4:15. There's a reason why they have a perfect 5* track record, deal with confidence. I will be back and will be bringing my wife's car and fleet vehicles here from now on. 2021 F-250 super duty read more

These guys are incredibly friendly and trustworthy. I'm new to the area and I'm glad to have found an awesome local mechanic.

Absolutely love this establishment. They were so kind over the phone and so kind in person. They honestly care about you and your vehicle and keep you updated on what's going on and I love that. Most places you go to are just in it for the money but they genuinely care for you and your car. I live all the way in Roseville and will definitely be coming back. I have no problem making the drive for such an amazing service read more

Three "Master Mechanics" and 4 auto shops told me the problem with my car was going to cost thousands of dollars. One said over 5 thousand! Auburn Service Center fixed it for $722.00. They know the best way to keep you rolling. Just leave it to them. You can trust it will be done well. read more

Auburn Automotive is a family-run shop. Rich takes pride in his work and you don't get shuffled around if you have a problem it goes directly to Rich. He is a good honest mechanic one of the last around. I have trusted Auburn Automotive to work on my Plumbing trucks since 2005. I never feel cheated. Last Friday morning I called at 9 in the morning they said I could get squeezed in at 11:00 I was on the road by 1 with a front end alignment at a very good price. My front end was out of whack and it was fixed for about half the price I expected to pay. Comfortable wait area with red licorice and cold water. Trust is very important, this shop earned my trust!

Had some alarming sounds coming out from under my truck- one when I turned my wheel tight a loud popping sound and two my all terrain tires sounded like swampers. I took my truck into Auburn Service Center and within 30 mins (only a $60 diag fee), John tightened up my cross member bar that was causing the popping sound and found that my wheel bearing had gone bad. The total cost for the part and labor was going to be $600 and with a recent purchase of property it just wasn't something I could comfortably do. He said that bc I am mechanically handy I could easily do the work myself and save a couple hundred on labor. He found me the part at Napa. That was so honest and helpful. I am astonished by how great the people at Auburn Service Center are, so kind and trustworthy. I highly recommend them, several friends and family of mine use them and now I get it- customer service like it used to be. read more

Service was very pleasant & quick. Counter person was great.

Rich, David and Emmalee are a team that can be trusted to provide professional service. They do quality work in a timely manner and charge reasonable rates. I love that they don't try to upsell service and parts before they're needed. Even though I have moved from Auburn to Rocklin I will continue to bring my vehicles here for service. Thanks for another job well done! read more

I was really happy with the fast and friendly service! Both the counter person and the tech were great. I went in for a smog check and they pointed out an exhaust leak that is potentially dangerous. I had no idea and really appreciated it! They put no pressure on me to use them to fix it but I'm going to call them back and schedule. read more

Wonderful! Rich and his team provide excellent service and I fully trust them.

Rich & his team take great care of our family's cars! They are trustworthy, helpful & fast!

Ive lived in auburn for my entire life and havent heard of this place until a week ago. It was recommended to me by my fiancé's grandfather who has been going there pretty much his entire life. I showed up WITHOUT an appointment after noticing my A/C and power steering belts falling apart. They immediately got me in and i was out within the hour. And this is including the time for the delivery service to show up with my belts. The price was nothing short of reasonable. The lady at the front, Emalee, was nothing short of kind and helpful. She was happy to keep me in the loop and didnt hesitate to go talk to the technicians. I showed up again this morning WITHOUT an appointment after noticing what looked like a rear differential leak. They informed me that they couldnt get me in today but would be happy to put my car up on the rack to make sure it wasnt dangerous to drive. Rich took me out into the shop and showed me exactly was going on. If it isnt clear at this point, this shop is amazing. They give out an honest vibe unlike most shops where you feel like they are screwing you. I will be coming back here no doubt. read more

These guys have done smog checks and alignments on my F250, my Honda and my Subaru. They are very professional and run a great business.

I don't like leaving bad reviews but I would not trust taking my vehicle to these guys again. They were prompt getting my vehicle in and seemed like nice people but they gave me a wrong diagnosis resulting in excessive money spent that I didn't have. They told me that 3 of my rims were bent so I later purchased a set of rims and brought them to Soza's tires to be mounted, Soza's told me the rims were all fine besides a small pothole ding in one that they easily beat out. I followed up with another mechanic and they were easily able to locate my vehicles problem, finding that one of the bearings was gone. read more
