My brother found this place on Yelp. I had seen it too and we both agreed to check them out. I have…read morean older model Subaru and I happened to be in the area and stopped by. Juan offered to look at the issues I was told by the dealership I had. Some of the items the dealer said I needed Juan was upfront and said it wasn't necessary or could wait. He agreed with a few issues (brake pads was #1) and two other items he will address next week. Once I left the business, I felt a sigh of relief. I didn't feel played or taken advantage of. Juan never rushed me and explained things in a way I understood. I appreciate him and his staff. I just got my brake pads done today and next week, he will complete the other items. If you need automotive work done, you owe it to yourself to go to G&J Auto repair.

I debated on writing this, but I thought it would be good for consumers to know…read more I reached out to G&J for a quote on a transmission fluid change on a newer Chevy Tahoe. They QUICKLY reached back out and quoted me over a $1000 for the job, while Elk Grove Chevy quoted me just over $700. I knew this job entailed dropping the pan and working around the exhaust. Something that is really easy to do once on a lift. All in all...a 1.5 hour job, and that's a BIG stretch. I shared this dealer quote with them, and it was basically shared with me that I should go there (not in a rude way). Well, obviously I did. The moral of the story for me and for others should be, DON'T assume ind. auto mechanics will be cheaper than the dealership. I ALWAYS want to support local business, but I will not support local businesses when they can't do a job at a fair price, and I feel like the trend with specialized labor has been leaning way towards a place it never used to be.

I have been going to Dan's auto for just under 20 years now, including last week for a complete…read morediagnostic and oil/filter/lube. He is the most honest, reliable mechanic I have worked with for 50+years. I know he will tell me what absolutely needs to be done, what DOESN'T need to be done, what should be done but can wait, and the pros/cons/costs of each approach. 5 members of my family have gone there and I refer anybody to him who needs work, and wants an honest opinion. I read other reviews that occasionally give him 3 stars or less and I am always surprised to see those, but you can't please everyone. I lived in Placerville for 3 years and lived nearly 1 hour away, but ALWAYS took my car to Dan's Auto for everything other than routine oil changes. He must have a lot of repeat business because he seems to know everyone who walks in each time I drop off or pick up my car. I'm not surprised at all. I won't let anybody else work on my cars and he is much less expensive than the dealers.

I went to this repair shop to get a diagnosis on my transmission. Problems get my car into second…read moregear. They charge a 160 diagnosis test which is standard. I waited about 30 minutes. I was also told that they take the car to another shop for tranny repairs which I thought was odd. Mechanic told me i need new synchros and I should honestly leave it due to the high cost, which was about 6k. Lady in the front immediately gave me an estimate to spend 7k for a new tranny. I went home decided to check under the hood to check the shifter linkages. Behold it turned out to be battery terminal line was blocking the shifter from going into 2nd. So I basically paid for a diagnostic and the mechanic didn't even check the shifter lines, like bro are we for-real. I felt like they barely checked the issue and I had to pay for the diagnostic. If they found the issue and told me i would've been relieved and wouldn't mind paying the fee. I ended up doing my own diagnostic not good.

The integrity and quality of work from Miguel and this business have completely lost all my trust…read moreand confidence. I gave him my car overnight to work on a repair and the next day my car battery died. Miguel replaced my battery and made it seem like I'm the one who caused my car battery to die when I did nothing out of the usual. No lights were left on and my car was turned off. NOTHING. He also said he gave me a "better battery that conserves energy when the car is at a stop". WHAT A JOKE. Well, months later the battery died on me in the morning. The AAA mechanic came to my aid and replaced my battery only to tell me the truth saying I was given the "WRONG BATTERY FOR MY CAR." The AAA mechanic specifically said "yeah, the guy used the CHEAPEST, MOST GENERIC battery". The AAA mechanic gave me the proper battery and said the right battery should last me a couple of years, not die this quick like the one Miguel gave me. He showed me the right battery in comparison to Miguel's. He said my car's battery is not supposed to turn off when I am at a stop, which is the exact thing Miguel said made my battery better because it "saved energy". Wow. I relied on this business's professional judgement and got disappointed by the outcome. I feel completely misled. The AAA mechanic said the shop was not upfront about how the overnight repair would most likely give me battery problems and said he's seen a lot of stuff like this and that's why he has the job he has. The mechanic said I got lucky it didn't die on me while on the freeway or in the middle of nowhere because I obviously would be more susceptible to an accident or danger. WOW. What did this business do? 1. Miguel did not mention any possible complications with the original car repair. 2. Made me pay for a more expensive battery when really, according to another mechanic, he gave me "THE CHEAPEST, MOST GENERIC BATTERY". They got overpaid and I'm out at least $1,000 by the end of it all bc I had to pay for the original repair, a new battery by this business, and then another new battery from AAA. I never write bad reviews because I believe God sees all and takes care of it, and ppl get back the energy they give out into the world. This is my first ever bad review bc I am just appalled and angry a guy would do this to someone's primary form of transportation and don't want this to happen to anyone else. I do not trust this business and its employees to care about their customers and give quality work.

STOP LOOKING, just go here!!! Being a single woman I dread…read morehaving car problems. My dad was a "car guy", so I know a little bit, but not quite enough to make an argument if I feel like I'm being screwed over. I needed somewhere to have AAA tow my car after it just shut down wouldn't turn over or anything. The place I initially chose , rubbed me the wrong way after speaking on the phone. I felt like I was an inconvenience to them because of the late notice & they made it more than clear that they were not going to be getting to it right away (understandable, but they didn't need to be rude ) When I called The Auto Experts I got the complete opposite response. I first spoke to Carl who was super polite & welcoming. Also very reassuring that they'd get to the bottom of it & that it would be him or Armando working on it., something about the way he introduced them before I even got there just made it feel more personal & I felt like I was in good hands. I dropped it off Friday, due to a busy day I let time get away from me and missed a vm from them so I ended up not being able to get my car till Monday, I was prepared for them to be annoyed about it. But they were just as polite and personable as the day I brought it in. Ffwd 2 days, noticed my AC wasn't blowing air at all. They said they couldn't make any promises without looking at it first.(totally understandable.) but that they would do their best to help me out in any way possible. It just ended up being a couple fuses which they replaced at no extra cost. My 19 yo daughter recently got her own car & the idea of her bringing her car to a mechanic made me nervous. I don't feel that way about these guys & I've allay given her theirs info & told her if something comes up. This is where I want her to bring her car. To Armando specifically. (Nothing against Carl, he's also cool as hell & seems super knowledgeable, I just happened to interact with Armando more) thanks again Carl & Armando, you guys earned a forever customer plus said customers ex-husband and 3 kids (when the last of the bunch starts driving)!

Had a check engine light come on in my truck right before my camping trip. They got me right in,…read morechecked it out and I was good to go. I brought it back in for a full inspection and they did several needed services on my truck. Carl and Armando were great. They did good work at a reasonable price. I highly recommend The Auto Experts.
