BradnCheree Foy Amazing service. Trailed a few mufflers!!! I initially went to 2 other muffler shops, and one of them directed me here! They said thats too big a job, go to major muffler on churn creek", so I did.... No other muffler shop offered this service..... When I went to major muffler they suggested that we come in and we trial a bunch of different mufflers to see what each sound I like and choose the right one. We trialled straight pipe, flowmaster outlaws and settled with a flowmaster super 40 series. The fact that they had them in stock was great too. Both other shops said weeks delay. So, off we went and tried a few mufflers, we did decibel tests to make sure we were still legal. Amazing service. Great quality job. Without hesitation I recommend them . Very very happy.

Kevin Keyser Was on the way to Grass Valley from Portland when I heard a loud pop and lost quite a bit of power in my engine. I was worried, it being a Saturday, that we would end up being stuck in Redding for a few days until the right parts and people were available. Chuy had my problems diagnosed and fixed in about an hour and a half. He also took the time to explain how and why things went wrong and what to look out for. No BS, just great customer service and quality work. As someone who was born and raised on the east coast I appreciated Chuys honesty and straightforward approach. No beating around the bush or up-selling here. If your car needs work in Redding, THIS IS THE SPOT!! Thank you again, Chuy!

Clappy Sassy I wont go to any other mechanic ever again if i can help it. I am extatic with the work done. Great work, great price, great folks. I have never felt more confident that my car was in the best of hands, and I have mechanics in my family. Truly a rare find, a mechanic you can trust.

A D Been waiting a long time to find a shop that is experienced with classics. I was referred to R&R for a total rewire on my 57 Chevy truck. Im extremely pleased with the job and no longer embarrassed by the giant bee hive of 67 year old wiring. They did so well I had my transmission, rear diff and power steering pump serviced as well. My truck was also a victim of vapor lock, I just never felt confident driving around. Ive owned the 57 for 11 years, bought from my father and the problem has always been there. So I had Rick take a shot at fixing it. He did! Truck has never ran better. Ill be using R&R for my 57 from now on!

Tammy Ballard Dave the owner was very helpful. My check engine light came on. I took my car to a mechanic up the street he said it was the turborcharger and the repair cost would be between 1600 to 2000 another place quoted me 3000 t0 5000. I took it to Autmotive service center where they first made sure that was the problem once they concluded it was the cost to replace it was under 1200. The service was excellent Iwill definitely take my car back there for any future problems. I highly recommend them and would like to say thank you to for all time you spent on my car

Brittany Dyer If I could give Kirk and his crew a million stars I would! They always go above and beyond to get any job done! They are always in communication with their customers about what needs to be done! The crew is friendly and kind. I can not thank them enough for everything they do for my family and our vehicles!!!

shawn price A great family owned auto repair shop. Ive had 2 of my vehicles repaired by them and both times I was very satisfied with the work they did. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Bobby Graham Sal was absolutely amazing. I let a friend of mine work on my car and they messed it up pretty badly. After letting it sit for nine months I brought my car in to Sal with just a box of bolts, and only knew I needed a new alternator for it. He took the time to be comprehensive, and you could absolutely tell he knew what he was doing. He was very patient and explained what was going on every step of the way. Furthermore he is a genuinely nice and honest fellow who loves helping people. It ended up being a bit more work than I had expected, but he figured out why the car wouldnt start and I was on the road the next day. I cannot stress enough that this man is a very very good mechanic, and a good person in general. I will definitely be bringing my car to him for any service from now on.

Cameron Watkins I took my 1996 Toyota 4runner here this week to get it smogged. Mitch is the man. He is very kind, accommodating, and a true professional. Got me in and out in about 20 minutes. Definitely will be a returning costumer and refer all my friends to him! Thank you Mitch!
