    I had a small issue with my car and wasn't sure where to take it. One of my clients recommended Denny's Automotive in Orangevale, and I'm honestly so glad they did. Robert, the technician, spotted the problem in about three minutes, turned out to be something minor.. and they fixed it on the spot without charging me a thing. Mike, the owner, is one of those rare, genuinely kind people. He didn't charge me for the inspection either. No games, no pressure, just real, honest help. It's rare to come across a shop that treats people like this. I left feeling taken care of, and if there's ever anything I can do to return the favor, I'd be happy to. Highly recommend checking them out if you want honest work and good people.

I am sending him a demand letter (see pictures) today and am prepared to follow up with a complaint to the Bureau of Automotive Repair and file suit. Other work was ok, but not problem free. I see that the owner responded to my review. My friend did indeed work on my brakes. He replaced the rotors and the brake pads. He didn't touch the hydraulics. Sunrise Auto did the work on the hydraulic lines for the left front wheel brakes. The failure of my brake system occurred because the brake line work was not properly done. Sunrise Auto placed the flexible brake line where it would rub on the inside wheel well, ultimately causing a break in the line and a failure of hydraulic pressure. As I said, this botched repair job put my son at risk of serious bodily injury or death from traveling in a vehicle with no brakes. Here's my personal message to you, Peter. You evidently ignored my demand letter because I didn't receive payment. The next step is the Bureau of Automotive Repair. And after that I will pursue other legal remedies. I hope the readers of my review and your response will take heed and will take their business to another mechanic who performs reputable work.

The labor is $215 an hour and on top of that, they marked up basic parts by 100% to nearly 400% over standard retail prices. Here is exactly what I was charged compared to what these parts sell for at AutoZone or Toyota directly: · Spark Plugs (Denso, 4 plugs): Charged $77.97 each. Retail is about $16. That is a 387% markup. · Drive Belt: Charged $156.49. Retail is about $35. That is a 347% markup. · Purge Valve (aftermarket): Charged $224.90. Comparable retail is about $100. That is a 125% markup. · Fuel Cap: Charged $57.46. Toyota OEM retail is about $28. That is a 105% markup. · Throttle Cleaner: Charged $45.70. Retail is about $12. That is a 281% markup. Obviously, it was my bad that I trusted this place to have fair pricing and didn't do this research prior to paying/agreeing to service. I won't make that mistake again. I did bring it up with the service manager and he offered me a $200 credit for future service. That's not something I'm interested in. If you're looking for affordable prices, this is not the place.

    Decent Work, But Communication and Pricing Left a Bad Taste…read more I'll give them this much: the brake repair on my 2001 Ford Ranger was solid. They did good work getting me stopping again, and their assessment of the other deferred repairs the truck needs was thorough and informative. But two major issues bring this down. The Communication Problem Chris from the service desk kept saying he'd call or email me with updates -- and then... nothing. Left me hanging more than once. I shouldn't have to chase down answers about my own vehicle. That's basic customer service. The Pricing This is where I have real concerns. I had my regular mechanic look at the same itemized report. AAA Citrus Heights Auto Repair Center charged 66% more than my trusted guy for the same work. Here's the thing -- my truck wasn't drivable. The brakes failing made it unsafe. When a customer is in that position, they don't have much leverage to shop around. That puts us in a vulnerable spot, and the pricing feels predatory as a result. The One Bright Spot They did honor my Veterans discount -- 10% off a roughly $1,500 bill. I appreciate that, and the staff who applied it were professional. Bottom Line The actual repair work was good. The assessment was thorough. But the communication failures and what feels like opportunistic pricing mean I won't be going back -- and I can't in good conscience recommend them without caveats.
