I was very lucky to have Sean and his shop recommended to me by my daughter who has a newer Deisel truck that has been serviced there. She also was involved in a trailer sale with Sean and that went very well with fairness and respect. I blew the turbo on my 2005 Ford F350, my fault, and had to have the vehicle towed to the shop while I was out of town. Sean and his team were not only fair and accommodating, but they are also very knowledgeable and performed excellent service on my vehicle. Sean understood the need for a fair price and understood that all things can't be completed at once without a ton of cash. I can not thank them enough and recommend them very highly for any of your diesel needs. Beyond a Five Star business. read more

I recommend this business for the unique follow up and dedication to the craft of diesel engines. I was seeking repairs and someone to help me with a big project vehicle. The guys were extremely excellent and patient. Helped me research who could help with a big unique project and they didn't have to. I appreciate a business that will go the extra mile like that. I hope you all will too! read more

To say Sean and his team of experts saved the day for my husband and I would be an understatement. These guys literally SAVED us from suffering through a 2-day road trip without A/C. The day before we stumbled on the amazing team at Roberts Automotives my husband and I had flown up to Washington to collect our RV (which had been stuck there for nearly 3 months being repaired after we hit a deer while exploring Washington's National parks over the summer). On day 2 of our road trip back to Los Angeles from Washington, our newly repaired A/C stopped working! It was late in the afternoon on a Friday so we knew finding a mechanic willing to help us close to closing time, and in an RV no less, was going to be a challenge but after speaking with the owner Sean on the phone we trekked an hour out of the way to visit his shop in Chico. Not only did he and his guys stay after hours to help us but they were also the friendly faces we needed after a stressful day on the road. They took amazing care of us, communicated in detail what was wrong and how they were going to fix it, and even took us on a road test to ensure all was working as it should before we headed out. We even got a call from Sean after the weekend was over to check in on us and make sure we were able to make it home safely and didn't have any further complications. This is SERVICE AT ITS FINEST. For Chico locals or fellow travelers in need of a trusted mechanic trust us, with this team you are in great hands. read more

I have been dealing with Sean for years and have never been disappointed with the service, professionalism, and knowledge that I find at his shop. In addition to the quality of the work they've done, he is also the most honest and ethical mechanic I've ever found. read more

I took my Ford 6.0 diesel truck to Sean & his crew. They've worked on my truck twice for various issues. I so value their integrity & expertise that I drive 3 hours one way from my Bay Area home just to utilize their talents. All the issues were addressed, work was completed and my 2004 truck runs like new. After slogging through countless shops close to home, & usually being disappointed, Roberts Automotive is hands down, the best shop I've ever been to. If you pay peanuts you get monkeys! read more

I've taken my truck here for service and was very happy. They are honest. They are good. They know trucks. They know Diesels. What I didn't know was...they know New, expensive, high tech (High $$$ Repairs!) Mercedes Benz Diesels. I was sitting at home after a hard day at work. Girlfriend comes home and says our brand new GLK 250 Bluetec is on the fritz. -"What's it doing" I say. - "Sputtering, coughing, no power, smells and while I limped it home from the gas station into the driveway, it won't start now" the girlfriend says. -"When did it start doing that" I say. -"Right after I filled the gas tank" she says. -"You meant the Diesel tank right" I say? -"Of course I meant Diesel" she says. Oh my. She filled the tank and drove our brand new Mercedes Diesel filled with a fresh tank of gasoline, home. I frantically starting calling and searching and the dealership said they could get a used engine installed for probably around $19,000. Faced with the reality of losing our vehicle as it would not be covered under warranty, I made a call to Robert's Automotive and explained my dilemma. They had a plan. At the very least, they would be able to tell me exactly what the dealership would have to do. It was worth it to me to know what I would really be facing at the stealership. Towed it in. They started on it the same day, kept me informed and called me the next day and told me to not walk, but run to the nearest slot machine because luck was on my side. They were able to remove large amounts of moving mechanical components to get to my gas tank, drop my gas tank, drain it, replace seals, inspect pumps, button it up, fill it and get it started...and shortly after they got it started, you could hear the ugly gas burn out of the remaining hallows of my engine and settle into that wonderful chitty chitty bang bang of a Mercedes Diesel. I am ecstatic. I am thrilled and grateful. They did not make any promises. They managed my expectations. They communicated with me and they were able to take care of us. We won't go any other place. read more

The reviews are right! Roberts automotive is the only place I allow to work on my 6.0 Ford diesel! Sean and his crew know and provide excellent customer support. Myself with over 30 years in the automotive industry can truthfully say Roberts Automotive is undoubtedly top shelf in exceeding customer wants and needs! If you want honest and fair look no further! Thanks Sean and crew for all you do! read more

Shawn is awesome. I searched for a diesel mechanic, forever it seemed like, someone to work on the dreaded Ford 6.0. He loves these trucks and can fix anything. Injectors, glow plugs, oil pump, bulletproofing etc. He kept me up to date on progress and parts needed as well as cost. He is honest and fair, I highly recommend him. It is a family business, his dad and grandpa clean up and lend a hand. I enjoyed just stopping by the shop to get updates and check progress. I couldn't be happier. read more

This Repair shop is AWESOME!!! I took my 1998 Dodge Diesel in to have the check engine light figured out. Plus my Transmission was shifting crazy weird. I was shocked when the owner Sean called me to tell me what it needed in just a few hours plus he helped save me money on parts. When I picked it up I couldn't believe how good the truck drove! It's had this stupid check engine light on and off for years. No other shops including two Dodge Dealers could figure it out...... Sean replaced the Throttle Position Sensor and reset the light. Now it's like a new driving truck. It shifts better than it has in years!! Definitely Recommend Roberts Automotive!!!!!! read more

My husband and I own a local swimming pool service company with a fleet of trucks. Our Ford contractors truck has been a source of turmoil for years (I have nicknamed it the "Devil Truck". We found Sean and could not be more pleased. Sean is knowledgeable, fair, thorough, and has the best customer service I have seen in a long time. After a recent repair he followed up with us to make sure the truck was running well. Our repair technician and my husband are thrilled with how well the truck is running. Thank you Sean. read more

A friends referred me here for a small issue I had with my car, the owner of the shop was super nice and offered to take care of it right away even though he was working on something else because mine was a quick fix. Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone looking for a good auto shop!! read more

Good service. Except I was charged for them to do a scan on the problem that my car had. I already told them exactly what the problem was because I had taken it to auto zone and they do the scan for FREE. I was charged 100 dollars for something that didn't need to be done in the first place. Oh and what do know, the problem I had told them was the problem that they fixed. I had the paperwork from auto zone and the codes and everything for the problem. Smh. They basically found an easy and unnecessary way to charge me. read more

My boss took his Ford F-350 here for fuel injector work. Sean was super fair in his pricing and really honest. That's really all you can ask for in an automotive shop. If you have any questions on where to take your truck, bring it here. You won't regret it! read more

Sean has worked on my Dodge Ram 3500 twice, he knows his stuff, is fair, and after searching for a good mechanic in Chico, he is the best.

As a business owner it is imperative that our commercial vehicle is up and running at all times. Sean made sure to quickly diagnose our trucks issue so we could get it smogged and back on the road. He is always friendly and thorough. read more
