Everyone was very polite and super informative. Staff stayed in constant communication w/us throughout. We recevied our truck back in a timely manner- same day; which for the amount of work that they did to the truck was an amazing turn around time. Location is great easy to get in and out of. Clean lobby and shop. They have just gained new clients

Probably one of the best experiences that I have ever had dealing with a car repair shop. Full disclosure as to what the problem could be and a full detailed account of the services performed. Great pictures of each step in the tests that the technician did while working on our car. Will use them for all services from now on.

I had a really positive experience with Folsom Automotive with my car. As a woman, I dread dealing with anything auto related because most places are pretty condescending but not this place. The technician was awesome, talked to me about what services they did, I didnt feel like I was overcharged or talked down to. Definitely will be back! Thank you Folsom Automotive for the positive experience, I greatly appreciate it.

We’ve been bringing in our cars to Folsom Automotive since moving here in 2020. Again, Folsom Automotive took great care of the car I just bought. inspection was reasonably priced as was the necessary work performed. When the car ran into additional issues while undergoing repair I got an immediate call and they provided amazing service. They share pictures and details of all work they are going to do to the car and keep you fully informed throughout the process. We will keep coming here for the foreseeable future.

Amazing service here! They did a great and speedy job. The most amazing thing is that they took photos of all checks and provided information on what I need to do with my vehicle without pressuring me to pay for the service. Thank you!

We took our car for making a loud noise they recommend to repair and replace the pulley and bands even do the bands were okay, They said since they remove them it was better to replace them since they were already out. Job was $600 dlls, took car home and noise comeback and was even worse. We took the car the next day and they said they need it to replace the AC compressor and other parts and it would cost about $2400 dlls more. The first $600 dlls was wasted and was not causing the problem. We took the car to another repair shop, They replace the AC compressor for $1000 dlls with labor and not more noise we wasted $600 dlls, but would not comeback or recommend this place. I saw all the good reviews, that is why we select this place the first time.

Very helpful and professional service. The owner offered to service my vehicle, a 2014 Nissan 350Z, in the future, as he believes the car will serve me well down the line. The waiting room is clean and welcoming, including free snacks and drinks.Lastly, my car was washed and detailed! I had no idea this would be done, so it was a welcome surprise. I had gone to Quick Quack just before I brought it in. I then parked under a heavily pollinating tree, so the car was a mess when I brought it in.Thank you, Folsom Automotive!

They recommended me to the dealer when dealer raised question on their repair job they refused to accept that (they did not charge me fkr the job done but dealer said they job was not properly done).I lost a week goung back and forth and ended up payong to the dealer.It could be something happened to me and tbey are may be very good with others because I can see lot of good reviews(i went to them because of the high ratings and positive reviews).Shehzad

I have brought my car in a few times and have always been happy with their service. Brought it in today for a break diagnostic. Even though my husband just replaced the brakes I was getting an odd odor and heat coming from one of my tires. They completed the diagnostic and were very honest about what was going on, shared the details with me and did not try to push any services on me. When I said my husband wanted to do the work himself they said no problem and Alex even offered to chat with him if he had questions! I almost went to another shop that was closer to my home because I thought itd be easier but glad I thought better of it. Always very happy with my service here.

Review №15

I took my daughters car in for the (coupon) oil change and inspection. They sent an email/text with a link to a really good, detailed review of everything they found, which included pictures of the things with issues. All made sense. I was able to choose a few things we could afford to fix and they took care of everything just as they said. Pleased with the experience and will be going back.

Folsom Automotive Service was very helpful in helping me get a 2nd opinion on my vehicle. They performed a thorough inspection and determined the issue to be something other than what the dealer recommended. They saved me thousands of dollars. They are extremely friendly, fair and they have amazing communication. I will definitely be using them for all my future automotive service needs.Thanks for all your help!

This is my first experience with this shop. I was impressed at how well setup and clean the shop was and the folks there were wonderful to deal with. They put it on the rack did an inspection and verified that the transmission I had purchased online elsewhere failed a seal and needed to be replaced. They also got me in quickly.So far so good! Lets see if they can find the weird noise I cant seem to locate next!

Review №41

I called 3 different shops and while all were nice I got the feeling that they could try and upsell me. When I talked to Scott at Folsom Automotive, he did something that no one does anymore he listened to all of my concerns and did not treat me like a number. Check in process is easy and I received a text of a complete summary with pictures of what needs to be done. I came in for a oil change and found out I need new front break pads! The price was fair and above all the level of trust is established by transparency. You can probably find places that may charge you $50 less,but you get what you pay for. If you are looking to extend the life of your car F.A.S is your best bet!

My truck was looked after & fixed in a very timely manner. Thanks to Justin, he honored the quote I was told for a brake issue under warranty even though the issue was my fault. I am very grateful for that & I really appreciated his feedback on how I should proceed in taking care of my truck in regards to the damage i had done. Due to his professionalism I will .most likely return as long as I get to deal with him. Thank you again

I found coupons in a Folsom mailer and decided to give Folsom Automotive a try. They communicate sending text messages and a link with pictures of what they inspected and provided a brief explanation. My car was in good shape, so there wasnt much to report. Nevertheless, I thought the approach was useful, the manager was courteous and professional and I was happy with the service.

Love this place! I was skeptical to return after the previous owners sold the business but I couldnt be happier with them! Theyve completed a few services on my 2012 truck and both times I have been very pleased with the service and the cost. I will definitely be a life long customer.

Did an oil change for the BMW cheaper than most places. Plus was able to squeeze my car in between other repairs. Also was nice enough to drop my keys off with a friend across the street. Only wish they serviced BMW’s so I could get my repairs there! Thanks guys.

Review №54

Since I moved to Folsom I’ve been going to Folsom Auto on Bidwell near old town. They always did great work at fair prices. I needed a repair to my car so naturally I called them. Unfortunately it seems the old owners sold the business last year. I found this out a little too late. The new guys tried to charge me over $600 for a repair that 3 other shops quoted around $300 for. On top of that, their “inspection” that they charged my $125 for said my AC charge was fine. Turns out it was overcharged and putting stress on the system. I wound up going to Folsom Car Care and they fixed it in a couple hours for $285, including adjusting the AC pressure problem. Too bad my once favorite repair place has turned into this. Too many car repair places trying to rip people off these days.

Review №57

Of course during this shelter in place craziness they weren’t that busy. I am one of the essential employees so I figured I would patronize a small business and get my car tuned up while at work. They were great and diagnosed and solved problems I have been noticing that one of the other big name auto repair places missed. I appreciate their honesty and great communication on status of repairs and transparent pricing. I will be a customer for life!

Todd and staff were responsive and very detailed in their analysis. I’m thrilled with their service and my car rides so much better than it did before. They checked out things that I didn’t even expect them to and I’m thankful because there were some things that could’ve been very dangerous. I’m thankful for their service and will definitely be making them our family Mechanic.

Lived in Folsom 3 years and every place I took my car to for repairs, I was never satisfied with the work or customer care. I was nervous to try a new mechanic, but Im very happy I did! I received alerts during the day of the progress and even an e-mail showcasing photos and recommended actions of what should be done on my car. I really appreciated the care the team took with it, and will surely be coming back! Ive already told my family and friends in the area, too! Thanks again!!!

What to do when you are getting hot air from both the internal and external settings? When you switch from defrost to vent and it stays HOT... Well, I set up an appointment with Folsom Automotive Service. They diagnosed it as a actuator failure. They showed me the broken component, swapped out the failed part and BAM SON! Problem solved. Their mechanics are a solid bunch. Exceptionally focused on being efficient with your time, while ensuring all service is thoroughly completed. Great shop!

Excellent service provided from scheduling to giving progress report and completion of work. So nice to see that my car didnt sit on their lot for days or weeks before it got serviced. Very fair price for the job. You get immediate attention from the owner as he stands by his auto repair shop. Suggest you call for an appointment first as they often times are busy. Weve been regular customers for nearly 15 years.

Justin is awsome he went over what needed to be done and worked with me and went above his duty for to accommodate my needs. I cannot say enough good things about the experience I had.

I want to say thank u, thank u, thank u to Mike for taking the extra time with no charge to find out why my driver’s car seat was so low. He was able to raise it up for me and now I can see over the steering wheel, the hood of my car and most importantly he curbs I would constantly be driving over which caused damage to my car but was a quick fix by him at no charge and my oil change estimate was right on with no news of future work that needed to be done. Picked up my car and they said see u next oil change. Now that’s awesome and so is Folsom Auto Center

First time here and they totally took care of me and informed me what was due on my vehicle with a detailed report showing photos of fluid colors, tire tread depths and condition, test drive results, and more. I got the feeling that they want my business and that they would do what it takes to earn it, which is rarer to find these days. I will be back soon.

Review №98

Good people, but I disagree with a business practice: Diagnostics fee not applied to fixing the issue.If they diagnose a issue and say $400 to fix. They dont apply the fee towards the fix. If its $100 to diagnose and $400 for fix, youre out $500, not $300.Also last time I was there I had to have my radiator change. (story above) They put a new one in, 3 months that radiator busted. They took care of the issue no cost to me! cool (and apparently put in a better one worth $75 more). What I dont understand they said the first one they put in was a crappy radiator and should of never been put in. In my head than Im thinking, why the heck did you put it in? One conversation I think they said it slipped by them... whatever... People are nice but Im looking else where.
