Review №1

My dad and grandfather ran auto service station when I was a kid. My dad taught me a lot about cars and great customer service that I have followed all my years. A-1 Auto Repair reminds me so much of how my dad ran his business.The owner Ron runs his shop the same way. Ron knows what he is doing, treats his customers correctly and his pricing is very fair. You can trust your car and wallet with Ron. He is the first mechanic other than my dad to call me up while doing a repair and tell me that after getting a closer look he did not need to replace a part after all. A-1 Auto Repair is now my go to repair shop and I highly recommend Ron.

This shop is amazing! Finally, a mechanic you can trust to give you a good price and not an over quote with stuff you don’t need. Ron is always very honest if you need to do something now or if you can afford to wait if out for a bit. 10/10 would recommend!

Ron could not be more accommodating. I had used A-1 several times, and he was able to fit me in with little notice most recently. Hes a decent guy who does affordable and decent work. Ive become a loyal A-1 customer, and would recommend him to anyone asks, or whos in need.

For major work go elsewhere. These guys are not up to it and are too gutless to be direct about it. Instead they put you off, dont return phone calls. Its unprofessional and raises red flags about the quality of their work and implies they dont have confidence in their work

Our local Shell station service guy wanted $580 to do a fix it job. A-1 said he could do it $350 and ended up charging $280. I have had nothing but excellent service at very reasonable prices. This is our go to place for all service work !

Ron is a great mechanic. Professional, easy going, and willing to fit you in despite a typically heavy workload. Great communication, which helps to diagnose any issues with your vehicle. Central location makes him convenient for most folks in Sacramento.

Ron is awesome. Good prices, good service, and always honest work. He never tries to up-sell anything, even gave me my money back one time after a quick inspection revealed he wouldnt be able to fix the problem on my wifes car.

I admit I was pretty wary of a mechanic that has full 5 stars on yelp with over 120 reviews. However, I found people that rated other mechanics poorly had stated A-1 Auto Repair was the place to go.So I went!My car was often not starting. I was lucky to get it to A-1 Auto Repair and they gave me the diagnostic fee of $95. Unfortunately, they could not replicate the issue and offered to keep it overnight. I should have suspected something like this would happen since my car started without issue...They tried all the different things I thought caused the car to not start (being in the sun, running for a long time, A/C, etc.) but my of course my car started perfectly each time! There were clues that led them to believe it was likely to be my distributor - but they were honest and stated that I should not pay to replace it since they could not give a definitive diagnosis. In fact, because they could not replicate the issue they gave me a discount! They were honest with me so I was willing to pay in full, but they told me that if the issue becomes consistent I could bring it back and pay the rest then.In short, A-1 Auto Repair is 100% deserving of their 5 star rating.

They were honest and up front with our car repair. They did quality work at a fair price. When they learned we were from out of town, they worked hard to get our car to us ASAP.

Visited this auto place recently for the first time after reading good reviews of this place. And I should say was not disappointed at all. The owner is honest and authentic guy. He loves his work and has service mindset. I would not give 5 starts as there is always room for improvement.

Good service and good prices. The serviceman did the job as expected, gave recommendations and topped off everything during a routine oil change. He made no effort to up sell us like quick lube places frequently do. He also gave us quote on other need services that seemed very reasonable. It was crowded when we got there, but we had an appointment and were in and out as expected (faster then we could eat lunch).

Every time I need either car preventive maintenance or a repair the trustworthy people at A-1 do the job with excellence and complete honesty. The estimate is made up front and is always very close to the final bill. They are friendly, honest and very competent about everything they do to keep your car safe and running well. Their prices are very fair and the service is done competently and with complete professionalism from start to finish. They take every job seriously and treat their customers with respect and get every job done as quickly and efficiently as possible, and the shop areas are clean and organized. You will want to make this your one-stop place for all your automotive needs and preventive maintenance concerns and they do it all with a smile and your highest expectations as their primary goal always.

Review №23

I started off going to this place simply because of their price for their oil change and quickly realized the owner and mechanic was a little bit different. I work down the street He was very accommodating as far as me dropping off my vehicle and picking it up but he made me aware of minor issues that most places would charge you for which in the end ended up being preventive maintenance for a later engraver issue. Not to mention upon recommendations to other people theyve experienced the same genuine automotive care. So whether it be an oil change basic maintenance or some unfortunate automotive issues stop by and treat your car right

We are regulars here now and they know our names and vehicles without looking us up. Super friendly staff. Super quick for a standard oil change. Very reasonable pricing. They care about you and your vehicle. You arent just another wallet to dig into when you walk through their door. We wont be going anywhere else.

Amazing! Ive been going here for oil changes, tune ups and getting help with problems on my car for 3 years and I would not go any where else! Ron knows people by name and is really considerate. He and his crew get everything done in a timely manner. I was updated frequently and always overall happy with the service.

Review №33

Affordable and quick, but remember that an oil change only buys you an oil change here. Meaning, you wont be warned about low fluids in other critical areas of your vehicle. If youre able to monitor your own vehicles fluid, and know your way around a car, then I do recommend A-1 over other service places offering similar prices.

Review №34

I was visiting/working in Sac and had to find a shop to work on my truck and i found A1 auto. The mechanic at A1 was friendly and the rate was good. I had some break issues, brought my truck in and they quickly had my truck safely back on the road and it costed me less than expected. Wish i had a mechanic like this in my town.

Review №35

I needed brakes and other work done and Im really happy with the work.. I had got a few other quotes other places so came here not telling him about other problems, anyways he said the same as the other mechanics but half the price!! Took it in at 8am said it would be done between 4 and 5... 1:25 he called saying he was done.. NO PROBLEMS!!

This is the first online review Ive ever written: Ron is the most competent, most honest, most friendly mechanic Ive had in 44 years of owning and driving cars. Im almost reluctant to shout out about him because I dont want to start a gold rush and lose my own little gold mine in the process. But hes worth it!

We made a roadtrip across America and needed an oil change. We heard about Ron from a friend and knew he was the guy. He got us in right away and checked out the whole car. He was honest and kind and did a really good job!

Great service. My car was making a weird grinding noise when I started it up after work. Brought the car in within an hour of closing time and they agreed to look at it without any problems. They changed out the oil and so far its looking good. At the end they said to bring it back anytime if the trouble persisted and they would try diagnosing. I really appreciate them trying to help me out on the spot like that. Plan on returning for future maintenance.

Review №45

I trust this place. I have brought my cars here often, sometimes limping in and hes got them working again with no upselling, gimmicks or the usual crap you get from dealers and chain auto shops. Likeable owner, never had to wait long to get stuff done, no nasty surprises. You have to put a lot of trust in a car mechanic - all I know is that the previous guy I used, I never got away without a $700 bill for my (admittedly crappy) Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used to have to double my worst guess. Now I dont. That is all.
