We were headed home to Southern California from Seattle when the battery light turned on and our battery died near Redding around 7pm. Thank goodness we found Roy on yelp! He came out to our hotel to diagnose the car later that night and returned the next day with parts to fix the alternator. We were back on the road by lunchtime. Roy being a mobile service was such a god send for us as we were traveling with 2 kids and a large dog. We didn't have to Uber back and forth from an auto shop to the hotel and back again which cut out so much stress from an already stressful situation. Tips: I would recommend texting Roy if he doesn't pick up. Depending on the time of day, he can be a one man show and not able to pick up the call right away.

(It wasn't an urgent issue...why make an appointment if your schedule is full??) When I picked up my car after hours, the lockbox where my key was stored was left unlocked, and my car was also unlocked.

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.

My wife and I broke down in our Subaru with a locked up engine while road tripping for a job opportunity. The head mechanic Will said he had time for us that same day and looked at the car right away. As this is a true blue Mom and Pop shop, Mom (Dana) was so kind as to give us a ride to rent a car so we could continue our journey. This was already more than we could expect for our situation. Will kept us updated with every step of his diagnostics and repairs and when the damage to the vehicle was too much for us he worked out a way that we would not have to scrap the car even though the engine was in very bad shape.

I pushed it a little further than I should have, and ran out of fuel about 2 miles from the nearest gas station in Redding. After a local towing service denied my AAA and tried to charge me nearly $250 for a 2-mile tow to the gas station, I was left stranded on the shoulder of the northbound I-5. I called this shop and told them what happened, and without any hesitation the owner himself came to meet me with a 5-gallon can of diesel. Not only did he get fuel in my tank, help me prime the fuel filter, and get the air out of the fuel lines right there on the side of the freeway - he also made sure to elaborate on WHY this happens with my particular vehicle, explaining the nature of the issue and how it's a common problem with older diesel Fords. He then said he wanted me to come by the shop so they could give the vehicle a once-over. They replaced an air filter in less than 20 minutes (only delay was waiting for the part to get delivered over), and even found some replacement bolts for the interior engine compartment cover that I had been missing for years. All of this combined, including the roadside service, was less than what that despicable towing company wanted to charge me. I'm tempted to drive up from Los Angeles more often, simply to get service of this quality. Many thanks!

Let me share you my story…read more We were on a road trip from the SF Bay Area to Seattle and back. That's about 2000 miles (probably more including the side trips). Needless to say, I had our diesel BMW X5 checked before leaving the Bay Area. When we got to Redding, CA, the dreaded check engine light (CEL) came on. So, we were frantic not knowing what was wrong with our car. Also, we had no idea what shop to go to. Can we find somebody knowledgeable and with the right equipment to work on a diesel X5? Can we find somebody honest enough who'll tell us exactly what's wrong and not charge us an arm and a leg? The universe must have been on our side because we found Steven, the manager (or owner) of Angelo's Classic Import. With Steven, all our fears were gone. They have a very updated shop with all the equipment needed to diagnose our car's problems. We found a very honest person in Steven who charged us honestly. (Turned out the issue was minor and he charged us only $20!) How I wish his shop is in the Bay Area because I would drive the whole length of the Bay Area just to have the privilege of me becoming his client for life! Try his shop and I'm sure you'll experience the same type of excellent Customer Service as I did! Thank you Steven for your service!
