I would highly recommend Above Auburn Automotive. Grant was professional, knowledgeable, and an…read moreexpert mechanic. He replaced my brakes (front and back) and replaced my water pump. My brakes feel like they did when I drove my truck off the lot 13 years ago, and the water pump is working perfect. He performed all the work in my driveway and when he left there was no sign of the work that had been done. The best part was that he came to my home and the price was no more (actually less) than it would have been if I had taken it to a shop. Super trust worthy stand up guy. I will definitely call on him again next time I need work done on one of my cars. Thanks Grant!

Its refreshing as a single woman to not be taken advantage of when it comes to repairs on your vehicle. Today i got my car smogged and everything ran smoothly. I made an appointment which really helps. They have a warm sitting area with wifi and complimentary coffee and water. Conveniently located off of Rough and Ready Highway in Grass Valley ( across from the cemetery). KAILA waited on me and she was friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience as usual! I believe its family owned and customer service is very important to them! I am thankful i found this place a few years ago. Great job!

After a terrible and very expensive shop experience w Dave's Auto (who will not be getting a good review) on a rebuilt engine & warranty for my 1992 Tacoma long story, Jeff's team solved the issues w engine leaks that had been happening for 2 years of being jerked around by the other shop, and they found other issues that will ensure this truck will drive on for a long time which is my goal I love this truck.

I had never before fully trusted anyplace to work on my car, and now Tom's is the only place my husband and I will go. In the years they have worked on our cars -- over a decade -- (and my job requires lots of driving, so I'm in there several times/year) they have demonstrated over and over again that they take pride in their great work, care about their customers, and take the time to make sure you are happy and understand what work is being done and why. They have gone out of their way to go above and beyond on dozens of occasions. Super duper hella highly recommend!!

I had an excellent experience with Certified Auto Repair, and a big part of that was the customer…read moreservice from Ryan. When I first called, Ryan was upfront and honest about their scheduling timeline and let me know they were typically booked about a week and a half out. I didn't schedule immediately because I wanted to compare quotes from other shops, but after calling around I decided to call them back a couple days later. Ryan confirmed the same availability window and unfortunately their next opening was the day after our road trip was supposed to begin. I thanked him anyway and figured we were out of luck. Then, about 5-10 minutes later, Ryan called me back personally and said he had reached out to some of his morning appointments for the next day and was able to fit me in if I could do an early drop-off. That kind of effort is rare. He didn't have to do that, but he went out of his way to help us out knowing we had an important trip coming up. They completed the much-needed work on the vehicle and took a stressful situation completely off our plate. That small gesture earned them a new loyal customer. Honest communication, real customer care, and willingness to go the extra mile still matter, and Ryan absolutely delivered on all three.

This is one of those small town shops where you are on a first name basis with everyone there, and the biggest thing is trust.

I had my brakes inspected and serviced at Tire & Brake Center in Grass Valley, and I'm really glad…read moreI got a second opinion. Another well-known brake shop in town had given me an estimate that was more than four times the cost of what Tire & Brake Center ultimately charged me for the work my car actually needed. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised. The guys at Tire & Brake Center were straightforward about what needed to be done, did the work properly, and didn't try to pile on a bunch of unnecessary repairs. The price was very reasonable, and I appreciated being treated fairly. I'm not saying you should automatically distrust an expensive estimate -- but I am saying it's worth getting a second opinion. In my case, it saved me a considerable amount of money. Great service, fair pricing, and honest communication. I'll definitely be taking my car back to Tire & Brake Center. Highly recommended.

I've bought tires from the brother and been quoted on work... we know where this is goin' When your gut speaks to you, you gotta listen!

They could have easily sold me on replacing my timing chain, gears and all the parts that it takes to rebuild that area but instead I was advised that it would be best to have the transmission checked out first before spending $2500 to $3000 with them. The car is only worth about $5000 so it wouldn't be worth spending all that money on it to then have the transmission break down on me and I would have to spend another 4-5K. Thank you for honesty!
