I finally took it to Zach at Applegate Garage and he was able to immediately diagnose the problem, provide me with a realistic quote and render services ahead of schedule. Pricing was more than fair and my 4Runner is flawless now. From cracked heads to a new supercharger install and everything in between the guys at Applegate Garage have taken amazing care of me. Joy and Brian always greet me politely when I call and are super attentive to my needs. My 4Runner is not your average 4Runner. It is a complete, one off build that is purpose built for rock crawling on the worlds most difficult trails but also refined enough to be driven daily on the streets. I wouldn't trust it with anyone else! Thanks again to everyone at the shop for taking such good care of me. Having you guys in my corner gives me confidence out on the trail!

After reading the reviews of Ray and team, I knew I would feel comfortable going to these guys and be supporting a local, family owned business. Well, it turns out they have exceeded my expectations and are just really wonderful people. The car runs great now, and Ray is meticulous about getting the really tricky things done, and charging beyond fair rates for his time and expertise. Even being shorthanded at this time like everyone else, they run on time and go above and beyond. I'm pretty picky about the companies I use and have had some unpleasant experiences with folks in the auto industry here and there. I would highly recommend Meritage to anyone, and being walking distance to them from my studio is even better!

My first experience at this shop was exceptional. Great…read morework, timelines met, very reasonable pricing, and a spotless shop. The owner clearly knows foreign cars -- my 2015 Jaguar was in excellent hands. I recommended this place to everyone. Unfortunately, the repeat visit was the opposite. The owner wasn't there, and we dealt only with employees. The car was kept for weeks, forcing me to rent a vehicle because I was never told to expect such a delay. The jaguar mechanic only worked several days/week. Several routine maintenance items we requested weren't completed (and while we weren't charged, they simply weren't done). When we picked up the car, the door alarm mechanisms no longer worked and new parts had to be ordered. One of the original reasons for the visit was a window mechanisms issue. The car needs to go back. The level of service, communication, and attention to detail was nowhere near what we experienced when working directly with the owner. It was a night‑and‑day difference. Five star to one star.

All replaced parts are OEM and not cheap knock off brands. The waiting room is comfortable, family friendly, free coffee/tea/water, free wifi and a spotless bathroom! All in all, I will NEVER go to any other mechanic to service my car. This is the place to go! Also, Master Tech is locally owned! I'd give this place 10 stars if I could.

The person I spoke with provided a lot of very valuable information, including recommendations for transmission shops in the area based on my situation. I don't experience that level of honesty and transparency often, especially from auto repair shops, so I think it's important to acknowledge it. I will definitely bring my car here in the future and recommend them to others!!

My recent situation was a 'simple' repair and upgrade requiring a lift, and a 4 wheel alignment. So I found Auburn Service Center by referral from my smog guy (Thomas at California Smog). Took my car in for inspection and an estimate ... shocker ... a mechanic 'building up' the repair costs? Rich tells me there are also some 'other' things needing replacement (a bent rear trailing arm and a front sway link). Rich SHOWED me his concerns and sure enough it was just as he said. Final cost ($398.15) was still below the $450 - $600 I was expecting to pay and it included the additional work. Bottom line is, I have no reservation using Auburn Service Center for all my future repairs, possibly including some I would typically do myself. Oh, and my car now drives straight as an arrow with hands off the wheel, so it was a good alignment.

Well, yes! Lonnie Frazier has proven over the last few months (three different cars in for various maintenance and repairs) to be every inch the reliable, knowledgeable, personable car shop guy that we'd come to love about the previous owner. And a few inches on top of that, because, well, he's a lot taller than Russ. I appreciate that he refers us out to other mechanics when it's not something he can do. He's a straight shooter, and explains things clearly. Gets along great with both myself and my husband (sometimes that's a tall order). Auburn Autohaus is in good hands, and your car will be, too, when you bring it here. Also thrilled that mechanic Steve is still working here under Lonnie, and doing an excellent job, as always!
