I have taken my Xterra to these wonderful folks a few times now. Each time they go above and beyond to ensure I know what's happening, in layman's terms, with friendly attitudes in a very efficient amount of time. They are very honest, the last fix I noticed they discounted the hourly pay for what I imagine because it didn't take them that whole hour. I have never seen or heard of any other place doing that. Thank you Automotive City! - Valerie O. (5 star review on Yelp)

My first visit today to Automotive City for a free diagnostic testing of my new preowned vehicle. I was very impressed with the staff, knowledge and professionalism. I'll be back! - Charmaine D. (recommended on Facebook)

Ken and his crew at Automotive City have always been helpful, respectful, and kind. We've been taking our cars there since he took over the business so many years ago. I highly recommend him and his team. - Wendy H. (5 star review on Yelp)

Have lived in Nevada County since 1995 and just discovered Automotive City this year. The reason for delay is that we have owned a specific brand of cars for years and have always dealt with our local trusted mechanic for service needs. We just this year purchased a couple used cars for our kids and needed to find a high quality and reliable repair shop. On a recommendation from a friend we tried AC, and found just that! Spencer, the service manager, is the right person for any repair shop to have out front - knowledgeable, friendly, helpful - the positive list of adjectives goes on. I haven't had any personal experience with the back shop and the mechanics, but if it's run and staffed as professionally as the front, then Automotive City is a definite go-to destination for car repair. Great service in all respects, fast turnaround, with reasonable pricing and a AAA discount? Yes...highly recommend this shop.

My wife and I have taken our cars to Automotive for the past 12 years. They do a very good job, they have reasonable prices, and we have always found them to be fair and honest. They stand by their work and if something is not quite right, they will make it right at no charge. They also give you an honest assessment of what is needed without trying to get you to pay for something you do not need. As well as using them for all of our mechanical work, we also buy our tires through them. If they get out of balance, unlike most other places, they will balance them for free. For almost 30 years we bought our tires at another, well known, local establishment that specializes in tires. On one occasion, the tire places’ employee talked me into buying a set of tires that I had not wanted. (“All the Subaru drivers in our area love these tires.”) While I was responsible for going along with him, it left a bad taste in my mouth. On another occasion, when I went in first thing in the morning, I saw a daily questionnaire for their sales reps on the counter. The first item was “did you upsell today?” In other words, did you talk a client into buying more than they needed or wanted. The final factor in our switching was when Automotive City fixed a front end problem that the other dealer had been unable to fix. We like Automotive City and we trust them. We are happy to recommend them to others.

My vehicle was towed out of the woods on a Sunday afternoon, with a cracked and leaking oil pan. By chance, I selected Automotive City, left my keys and booked a room in Grass Valley, fearing a lengthy stay. They called me first thing Monday morning, recognized the predicament I was in.  They actually moved scheduled repairs to get my new oil pan installed, and worked beyond closing time to get me on the road by Monday evening.  Good communication during the day, great service, and nice people. - William V.
