    Chad is the man. He knows his stuff and treats his customers, even new ones like me, like a regular. Great shop rate and quality work and concern to get it right, even if on his dime, not the customer's. Couldn't ask for more. He knows his stuff. Needed my rear air suspension replaced and all sits well again. Anyone who posts to the contrary needs to have their character evaluated. He even took some photos of my car on the lift for future reference. His shop is the one to go to for quality and value. My car is a 1999 Crown Victoria with extremely low miles, about 12K, and didn't want just anyone working on it.

Customer service is great and they offer expert services for deals far better than any dealership or other mechanics I've gone to. I took my 98 Corolla in for a check engine light and misfiring issues. After performing tests, I received helpful explanations and photos of the issues found in my vehicle. Before performing any additional tests and services, they checked in with me to confirm which I really appreciated. Services were done efficiently and they communicated promptly throughout. I will continue to bring vehicles to this shop because I trust their expertise, value their customer service and appreciate the good deals!

If you need an honest, knowledgeable, and fairly priced auto repair shop near Gold River or Rancho Cordova, I'd definitely recommend them. They've worked on my 2017 Ford Transit Connect, 2014 Mercedes GL63, and 2014 BMW X5. They replaced a driver-side CV axle, did oil changes, replaced brake pads and rotors, diagnosed and fixed an A/C and heater blower issue, repaired a trunk/liftgate problem, and also replaced a valve cover and gasket and battery. What stood out to me most was how knowledgeable, honest, and fair Samson and his team were throughout the process. The staff are friendly, the front desk is welcoming, and the customer service has been great. It's hard to find a shop that does quality work at reasonable prices, but 916 Auto Repair has done that for me. Definitely recommended.

On May 20th, we brought our Ford Transit-250 to this shop due to a coolant leak. During the repair process, they raised the price four times: first about $1,100, then $1,800, then $2,400, and finally charged us $3,084.52. We were able to pick up the vehicle only on May 23rd, but it immediately broke down just a few minutes later. The shop was closed for three days and only performed diagnostics on May 27th. After that, there were disputes, complete denial of any responsibility, and refusal to cover the damages. They then tried to charge us an additional $4,651.70 for a transmission replacement, claiming this was a new issue unrelated to their work. We were only able to retrieve the vehicle on May 29th, and today, June 2nd, we are finally starting the real repairs at another shop. During all this time, our business has been incurring losses due to the vehicle downtime. An independent evaluation confirmed that the exhaust manifold bolts were left loose during their repair, causing significant exhaust leaks and possible thread damage. The report also found oil leaks from both valve cover gaskets, transmission failure, and the "Check Engine" light on - all of which appeared immediately after their repair. I have sent an official demand letter to the shop requesting compensation for the damages. If my demands are not met, I will file a lawsuit and will definitely obtain compensation. In court, I will seek a much higher amount, including business losses, legal costs, and compensation for moral damages. This shop not only failed to fix the problem but also wasted almost two weeks of our time, caused business losses, and is trying to avoid responsibility. Don't waste your time and money here.

    Quick and honest service!…read more I sent a message on Yelp requesting a quote for an oil change. They responded very quickly, priced fairly, and even provided time slots they had open, so I headed to the shop that same Saturday. When I arrived, they quickly directed me to pull in to start the service. It seems like I had just sat down when they called me back out to show me the the underside of the van. They wanted to know where I'd done the prior oil changes since whoever did them had stripped the tread on the pan from tightening the bolt too tight. I could clearly see that what they were saying was true and the pan had no tread and had been leaking oil this whole time. There really would be no way to do the oil change without also changing the pan. I asked how much that replacement would cost, and told them to go ahead complete the repair along with the oil change. This is my mom's mini van that I was going to drive back down to LA, so definitely wanted to ensure I was safe. I was told it would take 2-3 hours, but was quickly out in about 1.5. They even provided a discount when I paid since the repair was unexpected and fast, which I really appreciate. They pointed out some other concerns, but did not force any repairs on me, which I am grateful for. Will definitely be coming back for any future oil changes and repairs.

    Probably one of the most trust worthy shops in all of Sacramento. I've brought in two cars so far…read moreand these guys do quality and honest work with fair pricing! They repaired my Miata's AC very quickly and even took the time to educate me on what the problem was. I brought in my Honda civic for a water pump replacement and ended up getting a new OEM one at such a fair price. The turn around time for both repairs were within the same day. If you are going to shop around for quotes for any repair I highly recommend you consider this shop.
