I went in to get an oil change, and when I got home, I looked underneath my vehicle and noticed…read morethat the skid plate had been held up with zip ties. Apparently, the pins holding the skid plate in place were accidentally broken during the service. Accidents happen, and I completely understand that. What I don't understand is why nobody was honest enough to tell me what happened. Instead, I was allowed to leave without being informed and had to discover the issue myself once I got home. I then had to call back and speak with a manager to get the situation addressed. Unfortunately, you've lost my business going forward. If something goes wrong during a service, just be upfront with the customer. I would have had a completely different reaction if someone had simply told me, "We accidentally broke a few of the clips, and we fixed it temporarily with zip ties." Mistakes happen -- hiding them from the customer is what turns a simple mistake into a trust issue

He helped me make and understand a plan over the next several thousands of miles of things to prepare for, things that just needed monitoring and what items were going to be fine for some time. He certainly won me over and I'll be doing all my services there from here forward.

They were transparent about pricing, what they were doing and giving recommendations but don't pressure you at all.

They even cleaned my windshield afterwards! Coming here from now on for oil changes! Nothing to complain about!

One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is the staff. Everyone has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and they make the entire process quick and hassle-free. I never feel pressured into unnecessary services, and they're always happy to answer any questions I have. On my most recent visit, the young woman who helped me was especially efficient and kind. Before ringing me up, she even reminded me to check for any available coupons so I could save a little money, which I really appreciated. It's those small, thoughtful touches that make a difference and show they genuinely care about their customers. If you're looking for a fast, reliable oil change with consistently great customer service, I highly recommend this location. It's earned my business for the past few years, and I'll continue to come here if I'm in this area.

James is amazing! My car broke down on a Friday and I was calling around to every mechanic shop in…read morethe area. I am from the Bay Area and we were about 2.5 miles from home when my car started making weird noises and then just died. I was able to start the car up again and get it to our house in Pioneer and get a call out to AAA for a tow. After waiting for our tow truck, I was able to get ahold of Steins Auto Care and I spoke with James who told me to bring my Tucson in so they could see what the issue was. I had the vehicle towed and due to this being a Friday, after 3pm, James advised they could look at my vehicle on Monday. I was fine with that, however, I had no car to get me home. James suggested the Enterprise Rental Agency in Sutter Creek and I was able to acquire a vehicle for a few days. Stein personally drove my Hubby and I to Enterprise and I was able to lock down a car so I could get home for my work shift. James contacted me as soon as they were able to do a diagnostic on my car and had to break the bad news to me. He let me know that the engine had failed and that I would need to have an entire engine replacement. James suggested I have the vehicle towed to Hyundai to see if this would be replaced under the Hyundai Warranty. Thanks to James and Stein, this was a smooth process and I was able to get the vehicle towed to Stockton Hyundai for a full engine replacement. Luck was certainly on my side when I dialed Stein's number for help and I appreciate all of the hard work and assistance provided by this fantastic Auto Shop. Great Job and flawless customer service and care!

Breaking down on the highway while heading home from the mountains to San Francisco is about as…read morestressful as it gets--especially with a nervous pitbull and no real idea where you are. After calling five different shops that either didn't answer or couldn't help, Stein's Auto Shop picked up. Even though they were short-staffed, already busy, and facing a holiday the next day, they said they could take a look. They also strongly suggested a nearby towing service rather than limping the truck in. That advice turned out to be spot-on--the transfer case was completely bound up. Priority Towing showed up, loaded all four of us (truck, humans, and dog), took the 4Runner to Stein's, waited while we dropped it off, and then drove us to a nearby dog-friendly hotel. That alone would've been above and beyond. The next day, the truck was fixed, test-driven, and running like normal. To top it off, the owner personally picked me up from the hotel. The whole team was kind, calm, and genuinely engaged--walking through what most likely caused the issue and answering questions without any rush or condescension. All for a very reasonable price. Owning a small business means this truck matters. A 2001 Limited 4WD 4Runner with plans to see another 200,000 miles deserves good hands, and Stein's proved they're exactly that. Huge, heartfelt thanks to everyone at Stein's Auto Care and to Priority Towing. An experience so good it almost makes the breakdown worth it. --Matt
