    However, if I ever have trouble near Redding, I'm going to Richard's automotive and I'm going to track down James.

I bought very expensive aftermarket bulbs but discovered the front bumper must be removed to change the light housing which I also wanted to replace. I saw this body shop had high stars on Yelp so I called to ask if they would perform the work. Their immediate response was "no" and "we don't do that kind of work and only install OEM components." I kindly asked " do you recommend anyone else that will do this work for me?". Immediate "nope, you'll just have to call around" They were about as helpful as a broken fence post and could care less in my opinion. My next phone call was to Underhood Automotive. Immediately helpful and professional. Chris said they do this kind of work all the time and install DOT legal headlights on older Shasta County Search and Rescue vehicles. Every single question I asked was answered. I live 4 hours away from Redding so coordinating this was somewhat of a Challenge. Chris even told me my mom's car had loud squeeking brakes and he would inspect those as well. Strong Automotive has high stars so I'm guessing their body work is pretty good but customer service is also very important and in this department, they have a long way to go.

    Quoted a "quick fix," performed unauthorized work, charged $530, and refused to explain the bill…read more I would strongly caution women in particular before coming here. Very rude and dishonest about charges. If you don't understand car repairs, you could easily be taken advantage of. I have no doubt I would have been charged even more if I didn't know how simple this repair should have been. Unprofessional, unauthorized charges, and extremely disrespectful behavior. Before bringing my car in, I clearly explained the issue: a specific electrical A/C problem (turning on/off). The system was already working and recently serviced. I made it clear I only needed a quick, straightforward fix with no unnecessary servicing, and that I would not bring it in if he planned to service the whole system.Chuy said he understood and that it would be a quick fix. The only charge I authorized was a $150 diagnostic fee. Despite this, after I dropped my car off, he performed and charged for an A/C service I did not authorize, along with additional unapproved work. On Tuesday, he called while I was rushing to class and told me I could not call him back shortly after, forcing me to have my dad call. After that, he avoided communicating with me and instead kept saying, "I talked to your dad," even though I repeatedly asked him to speak directly with me. By Wednesday, the issue still wasn't fixed, yet I was already told it would cost around $300. He later said the repair would take less than an hour, but my car wasn't ready until Friday. When I picked it up, the total was $530, meaning $380 in charges were added without my authorization. He provided an invoice, but it did not include a clear breakdown of labor vs. parts and was sent to my dad instead of me. When I asked for an explanation, he refused and said, "Let's call your dad, he can pay the rest." Even while I was paying with my own card, he asked if my dad was going to pay and told me I was being "emotional." He then said, "One day you're going to grow up and learn..." I also noticed multiple 5 star reviews describing him as "honest," which is difficult to reconcile with my experience. If you don't have a strong understanding of car repairs or pricing, I would be especially cautious and make sure everything is clearly authorized and itemized in writing. This raises serious concerns about: $380 in unauthorized charges Unauthorized services despite clear instructions Misrepresentation of cost and scope Lack of itemized billing Refusal to communicate with the actual customer Dismissive and sexist behavior This was a simple repair that should have been quick and affordable. Instead, it took 5 days, cost $530, and involved unprofessional treatment.I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.

Disappointed as in when calling them, I asked can they remove the lug and stud that was damaged, I am not asking for anything free, I already purchased 4 new tires.I wanted them to take off what they had broken. And they would not, I had no other work done. He was the last to remove and replaced back when I paid for that service.( changing brakes) Did not pay him to damage and not honor what he clearly messed up. I really believe he did that because I told him I would purchase my tires somewhere else, Because his price was way over charged. Beware lady's being taken advantage of. Not a business i would reccomend. And if you do go there have your work check by someone else because they are not very reputable.

It was Sunday and I was going back home to the Bay. Suddenly my tire got flat (first time in the past 8 years) so I had to tow the car and spend a night in Redding since no shops were working at the time I got to the city. Monday morning I called a bunch of shops and was told over and over that they can only get me a tire the next morning. I called Mike as well and was told the same but somehow they actually found a tire and called me back. So in a couple of hours, I towed my car to Mike's and was greeted with a family-like atmosphere like they've been working on every car of my family starting from great parents. In just a half-hour the car was fixed, checked, and good to go. I had a bittersweet moment when leaving the shop and hitting the road on my way home. I will definitely drop by next time I pass by Redding just to say hi. Overall, If you ever have any issues with a car and happen to be near Redding, this is the place to go. This is one of the rare Auto Shops when mechanics actually look deep into the issue and try to fix it instead of simply suggesting to swap a part. They really CARE. Thank you, Mike! Cheers!

    Let me share you my story…read more We were on a road trip from the SF Bay Area to Seattle and back. That's about 2000 miles (probably more including the side trips). Needless to say, I had our diesel BMW X5 checked before leaving the Bay Area. When we got to Redding, CA, the dreaded check engine light (CEL) came on. So, we were frantic not knowing what was wrong with our car. Also, we had no idea what shop to go to. Can we find somebody knowledgeable and with the right equipment to work on a diesel X5? Can we find somebody honest enough who'll tell us exactly what's wrong and not charge us an arm and a leg? The universe must have been on our side because we found Steven, the manager (or owner) of Angelo's Classic Import. With Steven, all our fears were gone. They have a very updated shop with all the equipment needed to diagnose our car's problems. We found a very honest person in Steven who charged us honestly. (Turned out the issue was minor and he charged us only $20!) How I wish his shop is in the Bay Area because I would drive the whole length of the Bay Area just to have the privilege of me becoming his client for life! Try his shop and I'm sure you'll experience the same type of excellent Customer Service as I did! Thank you Steven for your service!

I contacted AAA and had the truck towed 80 miles to R & R. Kevin called 2 days later to tell me that it had a broken exhaust pipe at the manifold, and they could repair it for $450. We drove from Grants Pass back to Shasta Lake to pick it up and headed back towards home. About 5 miles from home the truck started making the exact same noise. When I got it it home I pulled the exhaust/catalytic converters and discovered the repair had failed. I contacted Kevin and he asked what I wanted to do. I told him I would order a new exhaust/catalytic converter and install it myself, because I didn't want to drive the 2 1/2 hours back to the shop. Kevin told me to order the parts and he would reimburse me the entire amount, which I did. I provided the amount to Kevin and received a check from him in a few days. Not only did Kevin stand behind his work, he went the extra mile by reimbursing me for the parts. I can't say enough about the level of customer service Kevin provided! I highly recommend them as a trustworthy shop.

I want to go anywhere except R&R. My partner decides to go back to R&R because the first oil change was included in the original price we paid. So he goes. Nope $79! Also Rick is great at sounding reasonable but in reality once challenged or questioned he sulks and grumbles. I know rebuild take time and I know how old my suzuki is. I find it interesting that there is no mention of the fact the gaskets blew because after a previous repair the idle was so high it blew them. FRO!
