Juan offered to look at the issues I was told by the dealership I had. Some of the items the dealer said I needed Juan was upfront and said it wasn't necessary or could wait. He agreed with a few issues (brake pads was #1) and two other items he will address next week. Once I left the business, I felt a sigh of relief. I didn't feel played or taken advantage of. Juan never rushed me and explained things in a way I understood. I appreciate him and his staff. I just got my brake pads done today and next week, he will complete the other items. If you need automotive work done, you owe it to yourself to go to G&J Auto repair.

I debated on writing this, but I thought it would be good for consumers to know…read more I reached out to G&J for a quote on a transmission fluid change on a newer Chevy Tahoe. They QUICKLY reached back out and quoted me over a $1000 for the job, while Elk Grove Chevy quoted me just over $700. I knew this job entailed dropping the pan and working around the exhaust. Something that is really easy to do once on a lift. All in all...a 1.5 hour job, and that's a BIG stretch. I shared this dealer quote with them, and it was basically shared with me that I should go there (not in a rude way). Well, obviously I did. The moral of the story for me and for others should be, DON'T assume ind. auto mechanics will be cheaper than the dealership. I ALWAYS want to support local business, but I will not support local businesses when they can't do a job at a fair price, and I feel like the trend with specialized labor has been leaning way towards a place it never used to be.

They quoted me for two new rear tires, which I agreed to, and it took a few days since the tires had to be ordered. When I picked up my car, I immediately got a warning that the rear passenger tire was low. I assumed it might just need time to recalibrate, but after driving only about 5 miles home, I checked and it was at 14.9 PSI. Since they were closed, I added air myself. By the next morning, the tire had dropped again, clearly a slow leak. When I called, Jerry told me I must have run over a nail. I explained that the tire was already low when I left their shop. After pushing the issue, they agreed to replace the tire--but refused to reimburse me for a rental car, even though this was caused by their mistake. Fast forward to now--I went to America's Tire to check my front tires, and they told me the rear passenger tire is a different tire than the others. I never authorized mismatched tires, especially after paying for two new ones. This whole experience has been frustrating and disappointing. Between the initial issue, lack of accountability, and now discovering mismatched tires, I have no trust in their work. Buyer beware--this shop does not stand behind what they do.

He is the most honest, reliable mechanic I have worked with for 50+years. I know he will tell me what absolutely needs to be done, what DOESN'T need to be done, what should be done but can wait, and the pros/cons/costs of each approach. 5 members of my family have gone there and I refer anybody to him who needs work, and wants an honest opinion. I read other reviews that occasionally give him 3 stars or less and I am always surprised to see those, but you can't please everyone. I lived in Placerville for 3 years and lived nearly 1 hour away, but ALWAYS took my car to Dan's Auto for everything other than routine oil changes. He must have a lot of repeat business because he seems to know everyone who walks in each time I drop off or pick up my car. I'm not surprised at all. I won't let anybody else work on my cars and he is much less expensive than the dealers.

I was also told that they take the car to another shop for tranny repairs which I thought was odd. Mechanic told me i need new synchros and I should honestly leave it due to the high cost, which was about 6k. Lady in the front immediately gave me an estimate to spend 7k for a new tranny. I went home decided to check under the hood to check the shifter linkages. Behold it turned out to be battery terminal line was blocking the shifter from going into 2nd. So I basically paid for a diagnostic and the mechanic didn't even check the shifter lines, like bro are we for-real. I felt like they barely checked the issue and I had to pay for the diagnostic. If they found the issue and told me i would've been relieved and wouldn't mind paying the fee. I ended up doing my own diagnostic not good.

There's a whole different crew in here than I've seen before, but I am really happy with them from start to finish. That's thanks to Rafael, who was really scheduled for his break, but decided to cut into it by helping me first, while Gabriel was attending to another customer. I didn't even mind waiting, because Gabriel was so nice, but Rafael was awesome. I almost waited til I had time to take it out to Roseville Infiniti, where I would need to go for any warranty related service, but I am so glad I came here instead. I am very pleased with this crew, and I've purchased and serviced many cars here since this placed opened. I especially can't wait to get my car washed through the free car wash. I do wish that they still offered to vacuum and wash the car for us with our service because I'm 73 this year, and have health issues that makes it very difficult for me. The waiting area is comfortable, and they have a vending machine now, with snacks and special drinks, even though the service does not require a long wait. Looks like coffee and a water dispenser is provided for customers. I was in and out in no time! Thank you Rafael and Gabriel!

Best to call or make an appointment online to drop off your car. The only reason I did not rate 5 star was because I wasn't notify that they were not able to check my car and would be left overnight. In which I had to call the next morning to get an update. I do like the fact that they would call and send out a text message regarding the diagnostic and details of the issues with prices and the estimated fee. In which I was able to approve the repairs online. Also, their communication was great as they would contact me if their was an issue etc. The services were quicker than expected.

We came in this morning to get a flat tire repaired, and we were told it would be done within two hours. After waiting three hours without a single call, text, or update, we decided to go back and check on our car ourselves. When we arrived, it was still sitting in the exact same spot.. it hadn't even been moved. We spoke to the staff, and they told us they would bring it in and start working on it. We waited an hour (4 hours now) inside, and they still never brought the car into the shop. At that point, we decided to leave and take our business somewhere else because Big O Tires clearly couldn't follow through on what they promised. Trash! To make matters worse, they tried to sell us on replacing all four tires, claiming they weren't "right fit," even though we only came in for a flat tire. It felt more like they were trying to upsell us than actually help. Overall, the service was disappointing, the communication was nonexistent, and the experience felt dishonest. I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone.
