This location is under new management. We recently had two tires replaced and an oil change done, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Kevin greeted us as soon as we entered and was very pleasant and helpful. Josh did *fantastic* work--quick, efficient, and clearly knowledgeable. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in good hands. He was thorough, respectful, and took the time to explain everything clearly without upselling or pressure. The car runs smoothly, and the new tires were installed perfectly. You can tell he takes real pride in his work, and it shows in the results. It's rare to find someone this dependable and skilled. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of quality auto service. A true professional who deserves high praise! We will definitely be back! read more

They were very professional & got the job done right on time. I would definitely recommend them for any repairs you might need read more

Recently had a remanufactured engine installed by Nor Cal Performance. Not only does it purr like a kitten and I swear the transmission is working much better as well! I received 3 bids and Nor Cal's was several thousand dollars cheaper and they replaced several parts the other bids did not cover!!! I trust the work, the price and the customer service was outstanding!!! read more

This shop is a joke! My father in law suggested this shop to fix an oil leak, they tinkered and said its 3000! WTF! Fine. Fix it. 2 wks later, same oil leak bring it back. Now its something else. Another 300, 4 days later now steady coolant leak. ANOTHER 400 plus tow fee of 220. Your kidding me I call tow company they said its 160, sorry "my mistake." I'm sorry If I could put 0 star I would. The whole time they are doing this it's taking weeks. I could have bought a whole new engine and installed it for the same price and been done sooner. I'm livid. read more

I had our 2005 Honda Odyssey taken to Mel Rapton's for service and wanted the car checked out. They did not fix the issue which I complained about and a friend recommended Nor Cal Performance. Was skeptical it but left it over the weekend. Got a list if of a ton of issues that needed to be fixed in addition to the ones Mel Rapton had identified. Had it repairs for the same cost as Mel Rapton's quote and it resolved the issue I initially had. I would recommend.for quality service, great followup and communication. read more

I am completely disappointed with this Shop! The front desk guy Patrick was rude lastnight to my son and to the AAA Tow Guy when I had my Black Excursion towed there on a Warranty issue! Patrick started my truck up when I asked him NOT to and drove it into the shop behind all the vehicle!! All the fluids dropped out of Radiator that they just put in my Excursion mid Nov . Under warranty! This Radiator a year ago, cost me over $500! I drove myself over to NorCal to get my boy he had NO ride, they did not ask Nor offer to him! When I got there I tried talking to Patrick about my truck, he told me, " Your truck means nothing to me, it's after hours , I'm off the clock leave"!! I again tried explaining to him DO NOT START MY TRUCK TO PUSH IT OUT IN NEUTRAL MY BOY AND TOW TRUCK GUY DID!! Patrick would not listen at all!!!He just kept saying to me, "I'm off the clock, you and your truck mean nothing to me I'm NOT listening"!!!! So I called a tow in am to take it from there and tow it to "OrangevalleDiesel", highly Recommend this place, and I would be there in am. I arrived about 7:25 am and my truck was already moved to Side of NorCal's building, Patrick started it and moved it when I asked him NOT to! I went into the office and asked "Patrick" why did you start my truck when I asked you NOT to? He said , " No youDidn't !! So I said, "SoYour calling me, my son and the AAA Tow truck Liars?? He said , YEA!!! I said, they both heard me and said that you heard me too!! He then proceeded to call my vehicle "a big piece of turd, junk" !!! We had our words and he asked me to leave and I did. I needed to talk toTow guy so I went to side of building where my truck was. Patrick must have followed me I Was already on side of building getting ready to talk to Tow Guy and Patrick told me I Was Tresspassing! I said that's my Vehicle Im doing nothing wrong, I have court, I need to Talk to The tow guy get away From me. I turned my phone to video record and He grabbed me pushing me backwards and I fell. WSPD showed up!! video can be seen on my Facebook Lisa Bojorques Giannetti. Furthermore, Allen the Owner, made a snide remark to my boy as he , Allen, was walking out the door for the night!!! Why you the Owner going to be rude to my boy!! And, This guy Patrick Mocked me, insulted me, cared ZERO about the condition of my truck or what he did to my truck ! I've spent Thousands at this place in the past and every time I left the shop there was always something wrong with it and had to go back!!! I take my F250 and Ford Excursion to Orangevalle Diesel, see Nick, he's awesome , can't say enough good about him and his shop. Defeinetly 5 +stars read more

We were traveling home from Truckee, CA to San Jose CA when our Honda overheated and the engine light came on. Our driver quickly stopped the car and we called Triple A for a tow. We were towed to Nor Cal and I felt we were treated like royalty. It took nearly an hour before they could diagnose the problem (reasonable) and then took care of the problem quickly. This included ordering a necessary part, urging its quick delivery and installed it and tested it before the garage closed at 4. We really did not want to stay in Stockton until Monday and were very grateful the quick response. Everyone there was also very friendly. I would definitely use their service again if I lived in Sacramento and not San Jose. Mary M. read more

I called this shop looking for a rough estimate for an airbag repair, after their name coming up in different searches for local shops that might be able to perform these repairs. When I was talking with the shop, they were EXTREMELLY rude, and considered me to be a waste of their time. I had told him upfront what was wrong with the car, which fault codes were being read from my own reader, and what type of car it is. They did not even bother to be nice, help me in any way, and showed no care for my business. I appologized for calling in the first place, and then was told they don't even work on my type of car. DO NOT EVER TAKE A CAR HERE! read more

Recently I went to this shop asking them to diagnose several problems with my car. I had a friend with me who also left her car there for repair. She did this because of me yet they would not give me a referral fee because I did not present the coupon prior to service. It would only have been a $25.00 saving for me and a 15% discount for her. Additionally, after diagnosing all of my cars problems, they came up with an astronomical repair estimate. When I checked some of the figures against what I could get the parts for myself, the figures were double that. The service manager is a car salesman all the way. I had actually gone to this shop before when they had a different service manager. He was much much much better than the new guy. I will never go there again!!!!!!! read more

The only reason I subtracted 1 star is because they diagnosed the problem incorrectly. While this review was not for my car, I was with my friend everytime he went there and talked to Nor Cal myself. Tires To Go recommended my friend go here because he had a noise comming from the front end. I bet my friend that it was his wheel bearings. I took him to Nor Cal Performance, the manager Steve test drove his car, came back and said yes it's his wheel bearings. YES, I get a free lunch! However when the new bearings were put in, the same noise existed. In doubt that any work was done at all, I pulled the cap off the rim and noticed a brand new bearing with the brand Steve said he installed. My friend not happy at all just spending $840, told Steve he had the same noise. My friend was very upset and told Steve, he'd drive it home tonight and call him in the morning. Being NC Performance is AAA approved, we started talking about maybe calling AAA. My buddy brought it back, and Steve said he'd put the old bearings in if he'd like. He put the old bearings back in for him. While we were there to pick up the car, Steve refunded the entire $840 and said "I want you to be happy". Happy we both were, this place is definitely honest. Steve did what I would of done if I owned a business. This guy really cares about his customers and wants them happy. read more

Yesterday afternoon (Thursday) my car began to overheat. I immediately drove to Nor Cal performance in a panic because we are leaving on a 10 Day road trip on Monday. Patrick immediately got me calmed down, my car diagnosed, and everything was fixed and ready for me by closing today (Friday). These guys never let me down. I have been taking both of my cars here for 4 years, and I highly recommend them. read more

Went in last week and asked one guy how much a diagnostic was for my truck and he had told me $99 roughly. When I went in yesterday and had asked a different person for a quote he told me about $199. ????? A hundred dollar gap in price? Uncertainty. I could understand if a quote was given to me at $99 and then maybe another quote at $119 or something, but neither could give me a straight answer. I would not consider them for any auto repair. Especially after reading some of these other reviews. Also, they're supposed to be a AAA certified shop???? read more

I was thinking of getting a new Camry but the dealerships were horrible. I realized how much I LOVED my 2002 and at the same time I met Marie. She told me about this place. I took in my car to just get everything fixed. Wow it runs great! They use top quality products, they don't make you buy all the fluff you don't need. I finally found a place I can trust. Even when they had to keep the car longer, they took me to the rent a car place. and found it for me on a Friday! I will always go back and pass out their cards. read more

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS REPAIR SHOP!!! It's been a while since I had the work done on my vehicle, but my conscious has been eating at me so I need to write this review. The first thing I felt was the guy writing up the work order was a con artist. I didn't know it or think much of it at first but after they ripped me off I knew. The guy's name is Patrick and I just felt uncomfortable. With out going into all the details (because it would be a book) I would just like to let everyone know they tried to charge me $1,600.00 MORE than he said it would be to do the work. He charged me for things I didn't ask them to do. They didn't call to let me know what needed to be done or check to see if I had the money to have it done. I DON'T EVEN KNKOW IF THEY DONE WHAT HE SAID THEY DONE! ALL I HAVE IS HIS WORD. THE WORK WAS INSIDE THE ENGINE/TRANSFER CASE! Needles to say, I will NEVER be going back there. If you do decide to go there, pay attention to the personality of Patrick and see if you get the feeling he is a rip off artist. Then RUN!!! I hope this saves yelps readers a lot of money on auto repairs. WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS AUTO REPAIR SHOP!!! read more

This shop doubles the labor rate for changing power steering & a/c unit. Also after installing these items the next day the Tensioner Pulley BROKE in half. I called around to dealers & asked for there hourly rate to do these 2 jobs & nor cal had doubles the hours [labor] to do the job. They took no responsibility for moving or adjusting the tensioner while installing the 2 new parts& charged double on that labor again. Sorry but they are not a place to recommend. Hopefully no one else will have experience this OVERCHARGING! Double the labor cost! read more

Took my car here because its an approved test and tune and CAP repairs. Authorized a smog test and one hour diagnosis. After the test was run, mechanic comes out and states vehicle wont pass because of free flowing exhaust and not enough back pressure to work the EGR. I started to explain that I had tested it but the mechanic started talking over me about how he has "worked on two TPI cars...". I asked for him to show me his proof as I felt, by his actions and the time involved, that he had not performed any diagnosis. He first said "pay me" and even though there was on the RO, a one hour diag, I agreed to pay him to show me. Then he stated he did not have time to do it. He also said to me "why don't you fix it yourself". One obvious reason is, I, like many others, do not have a gas analyzer at home. After they had me leave I connected my own test equipment and went to another shop and confirmed his theory was indeed wrong. My EGR did work, and even at the slowest speed on the smog dyno. The car did pass its test at the other station. But being I was approved for CAP repairs and none where made, the actions by this shop has caused me problems for the future. read more

We were very happy with the service here. Patrick was so helpful and our car was fixed promptly and the price was very reasonable. We were on our way home from a trip when our car overheated. We had AAA tow it to Nor Cal Performance and that ended up to be the perfect place to take it. We needed to wait for the car to be diagnosed and then for a part to be delivered and then fixed so there was a good chance we would have to stay for the night in Sacramento if the car didn't get fixed by the time they closed at 4pm. Thank goodness Patrick did everything he could to expedite the process and it all worked out! We were back on the road at 4pm. Whew! We waited in their very comfy couches, (room enough for all five of us), they played some of our favorite music and videos on their TV, and offered us cold water and use of their restrooms! We were very lucky we ended up at Nor Cal Performance because it all worked out perfectly and it's the most pleasant car break down/repair experience I've had! Thanks Patrick and team. We appreciated all your personal help getting us back on the road. read more

I used to get all my work here when they were really caring. NOW they have changed. They did all my work and they billed me like this: bill for each new part. HERE'S where they got me: A SEPERATE LABOR BILL FOR EACH PART INSTALLED. Ridiculus. I will never use them again. read more

This repair shop is BY FAR the BEST I have ever experienced when it comes to non-dealer repair facilities. The staff is awesome to work with, with an extraordinary attention to detail. I live in Elk Grove and would gladly take my vehicles there over and over again. Good people!! read more

My uncle took our trunk here to get it repaired. It cost 800 to fix the problem, which we thought was way expensive for the problem. They charged us 600 for the part, and 2 hours of labor. On top of that they charged us 110 to run the diagnostics. After "repairing" the problem, they informed us something else was wrong too. So we went to another mechanic. We priced the part there, and It was only 250. Then the mechanic from the other place said it would have taken less than an hour to fixed. They completely ripped us off. So disappointed. Our 800 repair should have cost around 350. The only thing I have nice today is the people are friendly, but does that really matter when the over charged by 450? Not really. read more

Professional Service done well! I took my truck in for its first service (other than regular maintenance) knowing I needed a lot of work in April. They checked it out and I knew I needed a lot of help. I'm extremely pleased with the service and quality of service I received! It took 2 days and tons of repair for my 2004 truck that had NEVER been to a mechanic. I couldn't be more pleased with the customer service and quality work. I Highly recommend Nor Cal Performance! read more
