We were Motorhoming from Clearlake back to Texas when we experienced a major engine knocking sound. It was Sunday evening so our options were very limited. Based on the reviews, taking a shot in the dark, we had our rig towed to Harper's Auto repair. First thing Monday Morning we received a Call from the owner Dave Harper in regard to the motorhome parked in front of his shop. Now even though Harper's does not work on these vehicles, Dave spent significant time calling around and locating a wonderful shop in Yuba City. Additionally Dave let us camp out in the Motorhome for 1 1/2 days until we could get an appointment and arrange towing to the new shop and even provided an electrical hookup to keep our refrigerator and freezer from thawing.. Dave and his crew were gracious and understanding and I have no doubt that had they performed service on our vehicle this review would be praising the value and respect that all the other reviews present. Thanks DAVE! read more

I was driving from Seattle to the Bay Area. While filling up for gas in Williams, I discovered a significant oil leak. The gas station owner pointed me to Harper's and they had the vehicle on a rack in about 20 minutes. I was back on my way with a new oil filter and no leak in about 1 1/2 hours. The whole crew was friendly and professional. What a God-send. Thanks, Harper's. read more

I made an emergency stop to check engine oil pressure on my truck. Dave and his crew were immediately available to troubleshoot, diagnose, change my oil, and assure me that there wasn't a deeper engine issue. Following the oil change, Dave test drove it and gave me recommendations for future maintenance. I couldn't thank them enough for their kindness and availability despite the many jobs they had lined up for the day. read more

Road trip... traveling north on I5. Splash shield fell down and was scraping along the road, making a terrifying noise. Pulled off the road and while my husband was under the car a helpful CHP pulled up and let us know there were a couple garages in a little place called Williams... when we got to this one, a nice young man met us and said "bring the car to the back." He removed it and zip tied some plastic sheathing so it wouldn't fall down. Took him tops 10 minutes and he refused to take any money. Folks like this are such a blessing. This young man at Harper's saved our vacation. read more

Harper's Auto Repair - Splash guard that fell down. We can replace it latee - Auto Repair Near Me - Williams, California

Engine light on. They ran the code scanner AT NO CHARGE, and told us what was wrong. We still had 6 hours until we reached Eugene. He said we needed to go to a dealer. So we're headed there now. I called dealer to let them know we were coming and they said it will be $200 to run THE SAME SCANNER. What?! Why? HARPERS is FANTASTIC!!! Super nice guys. read more

These people are AMAZING HUMANS! I was driving down I 5 and my AT oil light came on. I called them, they let me stop in with my elderly mother and my young son. We had a new appointment. It was during the middle of the business day, and then a time for us. It was ridiculously hot, they brought my family in, checked my vehicle, figured it out.....And sent me on my way. They would not allow us to pay, and when we asked to pay, they asked us to pay it forward. These guys are wonderful!!! read more

Passing through and had a serious issue jn the highway. Stopped in and they took care of my family. I am very fortunate to know there are still good old school shops out there. read more

Kind, helpful, professional service. They rescued me when part of the undercarriage of my Prius broke off.

On our way to Oregon and had some issues with our car, they took us right in and fixed the issue so quickly! Very sweet guys and great service! read more

These guys were incredibly friendly and polite from the get-go! I made the appointment with the owner, Dave and both Andrew and Jeff helped me when I dropped the car off unknowingly on their lunch break. Both guys were polite and understanding even though they were on their own time. I apologized but they reassured me it was no trouble. Some places I've gone to for an oil change treat me like every other customer that they need to just get in and get out. These guys didn't rush me or try to talk me into any upsales or unnecessary purchases. The friendliness and professionalism of Harpers Auto is comforting. I will definitely be returning here for any further needed services for my car! read more

Friendly service and rapidly helped me out of a tight spot when my Acura started acting up.

Fantastic, honest service. We stopped by on our way to the Trinity Alps with an unusual noise coming from the alternator. Friendly mechanic took 5 minutes to just listen in and reassure us that we could continue our trip when we'd been turned away from another shop. Wouldn't accept payment, so this review is it. Best place in town from our perspective. read more

David and his crew have been taking care of my vehicles for a few years now. I feel they are very fair in there pricing and go above and beyond to help me out when a situation comes up . I live out of the area and continue to choose to take my vehicles to them for all my services. Thank you Brent for always fitting me in around my schedule. David and his crew are honest and fair and take the time that is needed to make sure I am safe on the road . read more

Our undercarriage shield came loose and was flapping around. We stopped by Harper's Auto Repair and were helped promptly. One of the guys was working on something else but he took a short break to get us on our way. He knew exactly what the issue was and secured the shield. read more

Can't say enough great things about this shop & the guys who work there. We had a flat tire on our boat at 5pm on a Friday and they stayed open past closing to help get it changed! So thankful they were able to help out and get us back on the road. Weekend camping/boating trip was saved!! read more

During our road trip from San Francisco to Shasta, the check engine light began flashing on the freeway. I called Harpers and took my car straight there. They were able to diagnose the problem quickly and order parts. The parts took a while to get there as they we're not in stock locally. Harpers offered us a ride into town to get lunch while we waited. Did I mention we have 2 kids and 2 dogs with us?? They even let our dogs stay in their shop while we went to lunch. We ended up spending the day in the shop. They were very hospitable and even offered to get our car washed after the job was completed. I would highly recommend this mechanic. Honest work and people. Thanks Harper's!! read more

About noon on Sunday, August 5th, I was driving midway from Lassen National Park to Red Bluff when I failed to avoid a rock in the road, and destroyed my new right front tire as well as denting the rim. Just a mile earlier, I had just passed a nice pickup, with equipment, towing a teardrop trailer, and as I pulled to the shoulder, it followed me and stopped. The solicitous driver, David Harper, kindly offered to change the tire for me and I, being 69 and not in great shape, gratefully accepted. We unloaded the trunk full of astronomy equipment only to find that my aged spare was flat. However, we were near the Tehama CalFire facility, for whom David said he sometimes did work, so he took my tire to them, got it inflated, then came back to install it. It was only after that that I learned, by asking, that he owns David Harper Auto Repair in Williams, California, a town about 100 miles from where we met, on a Sunday when his business was closed, and he wasn't even supposed to be working. I tried to pay him with cash or credit, but he would not accept payment. On his days off, he explained, it's his practice to give back by helping others, and he certainly did so with me. Besides the arduous physical assistance, he likely saved me hours of delay. He offered cautionary advice concerning my ragged spare tire. He even made it a point to follow me into Red Bluff, to ensure that I made it safely. David Harper is a gentleman, and a man of faith, who has proudly served our country. If I ever have an automotive need within a hundred miles of his shop, I will certainly seek him out, and I urge others to do the same. The man is a prince. read more

We (barely) rolled in to Harper's Auto Repair with a broken down car, while 12 hours from home on family vacation. They were obviously busy, but took the time to look at our car and help us get home. We are very grateful for this shop. read more

Awesome repair shop. Has 3yr/36,000 mile warranty. I found them because they are a napa auto care center.

I broke down on I-5 heading toward the Bay Area in my 29' Class C RV and the tow truck towed me to Harper's. My transmission was blown. They got to work on it right away and had a rebuilt transmission put in within a few days. But the old RV had other problems and Dave and his excellent team of mechanics were committed to making sure my RV was completely fixed before I got back on the road. Everyone at Harper's is extremely professional, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. And they are FAIR! You don't have to worry about being gouged or taken advantage of. They're very communicative and are very good at explaining how your automobile works and what needs to be fixed - and why. Because of a laundry list of things that were wrong with my RV I ended up being stuck there for 2 weeks - and I couldn't have asked to be stuck in a better place. They went out of their way to make sure I was taken care. I'm back on the road, my RV is running better than ever and I am very grateful to Harper's Auto. I highly recommend them! read more

We were from Minnesota and had s little trouble with our brakes. We stayed overnight and I found Harper's Auto Care nearby. Dave and Brent treated us like family more than a customer..We received excellent service and they made sure our car was fixed and just went that extra mile to help us so that we could continue our vacation. If your ever in the Williams, Ca area you almost wish your car would break down just to be able to meet these wonderful people..They were a godsend.. Thanks Dave and Brent.. read more

Very very nice people. Car broke down and not only did they give me a fair price but offered to drive me to and from a hotel. Really appreciated them. The driver who took me was very caring and wanted to make sure I was ok. Said he wasn't quite a mechanic but that they took him on and were teaching him how to change oil and things like that hoping to be a full fledged mechanic. I think it's awesome they're doing that for him and made me like them even more. Thank you Brent and Harper Auto Repair! read more

Dave, Brent and everyone there went out of their way to make our bad situation less stressful. They were very informative and fair, both in their work and prices. I cannot give enough thanks to them for everything they did for us. read more

There are really good people still left on this earth. David Harper of Harper's Auto Repair in Williams, CA and his wife are truly a remarkable. They care more about you and your well being than making a buck. Thank you for your generous hospitality, time and attention. Our family was on a road trip from the San Jose to Portland, Oregon when our transmission gave out on us just north of Williams, CA on I-5 North. We were at Maxwell's Rest Area out in the middle of nowhere. We did a search and came across Harper's Auto Repair. I called and spoke to David who said to bring the car in and he would look at it. There had been a major multiple car accident in Arbuckle a few miles prior to our incident and all the tow trucks were busy with that accident. We had to wait a few hours for our insurance to send a tow truck from Yuba City on the side of the Valley on Hwy 99. We eventually made it to Harper's Auto Repair and it was around lunch time. There was no Uber, cabs or any mode of transportation at this point. David and his wife offered to take us into town for lunch. They brought us back and took a quick look at the vehicle and offered to have a look it and stating that in fact was the transmission. David offered to call an Uber contact that he knew and Kathleen was able to drive us to Yuba City where we had made reservations for a rental car. We asked David how much his trouble was and he said that he was glad he was able to help and did not charge me anything. We got to Yuba City and our reservations were not honored as they said they were out of cars, website was not updated - thanks Hertz! Kathleen stayed with us and did not abandon us as we were going through this ordeal. Kathleen was headed to Sacramento and we decided to go with her instead of staying in no-where land. We made car reservations on the way to Sacramento International Airport, got our car and decided as a family to not give up and proceeded with our trip to Oregon! Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. David Harper, Harper Auto Car and Kathleen. You truly make a difference! As a side note, it was truly impressive to hear that David and his wife helped organize the community volunteer response to the recent wildfires in the northern part of the state with food drives, clothing, etc. It was inspiring getting to know these true heroes and good honest people. Thank you again. Best regards, Victor and family read more

These guys are amazing! My son was driving from the Bay Area to Chico when he began to have car problems. I found Harper's on Yelp and called to see if they could help. It was 5:00 and Brent said he would stay and check out the car. He checked out the car which was completely unsafe to drive, fixed it with a few bolts and sent my son on his way without even letting him compensate him for his time. It is hard to find such a caring, honest place and I can't say enough about them. My son could have been seriously hurt had Brent not cared enough to stay and do what he could. There is no question that if I lived within a 30 mile radius of this shop I would take all my vehicles there. It is so refreshing to find a business with such integrity. Thanks again Brent! read more

This place is great! We were hauling our trailer and had truck issues. We finally made it to this place coming from Clear Lake/Hwy 20 blowing black smoke for 18 miles. The owner/mechanic came out to us right away and did not delay in getting us back on the road with many helpful tips with getting truck checked out once we get home. read more

I would not let this company touch my car again if you paid me! I needed them to replace an engine in my Thunderbird and they messed it up so bad it is costing me more money every time i turn around! They charged me twice what the original quote was, they charged me for things I did not even ask them to do. They broke my electric door locks, the car leaked power steering fluid and almost ruined the power steering pump! The car still leaks oil constantly, and they broke my cruise control, it no longer works. They did not replace the existing EGR Valve with the one from my old engine, so the car will not pass smog because the check engine light is on, and they lied to me about the AC System not leaking too. I don't have the original receipt anymore because I moved or we would already have been in court getting my money back. Yeah, I had a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty too, but there is no way I would let them touch my car again, I want my money back!!! read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Dave at Harper's Auto Repair. While traveling up highway 5 yesterday, we stopped at a rest stop about 8 miles before Williams and discovered our battery was dead. We got the car started and headed north, got on the cell phone and contacted Harper's Auto Repair. Dave had our battery in stock and we drove in, they checked the charging system and installed the battery. Within 30 minutes we were back on the road headed toward our destination. I would highly recommend this auto shop for speed, honesty and courtesy. I only wish i live closer to use them again. Good job to Dave and the entire staff at Harper's! read more

i was traveling from southern ca. last week, stopped at the shell gas station and my car would not start. i knew i would be in trouble in this small town finding someone to repair my BMW, but was i ever wrong. the lady behind the counter at the shell station recommended harpers automotive. i called them and Dave showed up personally to check the car. he called a tow truck and within the hour my car was picked up and taken to Harpers. A service technician immediately diagnosed my car and determined it was a fuel pump. my car was repaired the next day by noon and I was back on the road. Dave dropped me off at a very nice hotel for the night and picked me up when my car was ready. Dave and his crew turned a possible hassle into a very pleasant experience. Thanks to Harpers automotive Jerry S. read more

Great shop with top notch customer service. I blew a thermostat just north of Williams and arrived just before lunch time. Unfortunately I had to wait til after lunch and a few other cars but the guys offered to take me into town for lunch, made sure I had water and were as hospitable as well. Fixed me up and was on my way. Keep it up guys. read more
