Also I had called a few shops and got some pricing but the quote from Wootens was very competitive. I was hoping to get right in and he unfortunately said he was booking the next week. I mentioned I had a work truck I needed to get back on the road ASAP and he said bring it down and he will squeeze it in somehow. I brought it in and had a call very shortly after with a full diagnosis. I said please get it done and he had me back on the road in no time! I really appreciate you working me into your busy schedule and know the importance of having the work truck on the road moving.

Had it replaced about 2 years ago at another shop, and they charged me over $500, even though it only took them 1 1/2 hours. It started working intermittently 4 months ago and then just quit. Ken Wooten said he wasn't sure how long it would take, it's an unusual problem. Bottom line, he replaced it in 1 1/2 hours, with a Ford replacement part. Took out the one the other guy put in. Not a Ford part, some cheap imitation. $300 total. Thanks, Ken!

A few years back I had an older Ford Escape that the Eco Boost system went out and it was no longer under warranty which means replacement was going to be $5,000.00 and the vehicle already had a 100, 000 plus miles. This all happened the week that my third son was getting married. I went to Thompson Chevorolet and found a used 2020 Chevy Equinox and Ross was on the phone with me for an hour going through what the vehicles history was and whether it was worth the purchase (You see I am mechanically challenged), and I made the purchase and it was the right call. By the way, I like to support businesses that love our community ity and give back and while I was the Pastor at the former Bayside Church of Placerville we had people who were displocated staying our our church campus which is right next door to this business and Ross and Randi along with their staff served people and were awesome. You do not need to look any further for automotive needs because this is the place that will take care of your vehicle and they are honest and trustworthy. There is one place in all of El Dorado County that I will take my vehicles and that is right here.

April, 2026, our 2016 300 GLC MBZ alerted for low coolant level. I added about a quart of water to…read morecontinue its use, but scheduled an appointment with TrueCare to diagnose the underlying cause of coolant loss. The upper radiator hose turned out to be the cause. TrueCare replaced it, alleviating our worries for 2 trips to SoCal and one to Reno(from the Sierra foothills). Then a short trip to our local grocery store turned out to be disastrous. When starting the car for the trip back home, it warned to "Check Coolant Level". By the time the car reached our neighborhood, the Temperature indicator had climbed to the red zone, and the warning changed to flashing red "Turn Off Engine!" When it cooled, I checked under the hood to learn that the previously replaced upper radiator hose had come completely off the radiator connector. I contacted Dave, and made arrangements to have it towed to TrueCare. I informed Dave about the hose, and he ordered a replacement. The hose that had been installed had failed, and was defective. This wasn't an aftermarket part, but an OEM from Mercedes. The good news in all of this, is that Dave stands behind all his work with a 2 year warranty. The replacement was done for NO CHARGE!! The lesson here, is that any part can fail, even a new OEM from Mercedes. When a business stands behind their work with this kind of service, it speaks volumes about their integrity. There's good reason why most every review gives Dave's TrueCare 5 star reviews. They've earned it, along with the trust and confidence his customers give him. Thank you, Dave, for always providing the best and most reliable service we know we'll receive when we trust you with the care of our vehicles!!
