Need a good Mechanic near Sacramento

[woodman60]

I recently purchased a 2005 SR5. I've done a lot of work myself (replaced all gearbox fluids, replaced the carpet (long story), replaced spark plugs, etc.). I'm looking for a good mechanic to do some of the things I don't have the time, tools, or skills to take on, like brake upgrade, CV axle replacement, etc.

I'd prefer not to pay dealer prices, but also interested in any experience with any of the nearby dealers (Maita, Roseville, Folsom, Davis, Elk Grove).

Any experiences, both good and bad would be appreciated. PM if necessary.

Thanks all.

If you are not in a hurry, Gardiner at All Automotive was the best mechanic I've ever worked with. His shop is off Auburn Blvd in Citrus Heights.

He installed my headers, which if you know anything about them they are an absolute nightmare to install. Did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. They work about 2 weeks out though, so can't get anything in quick unless you get lucky.

Thanks. I'll look him up. That's close to my office so could work out well.

Hey if you're still looking...

Scotty's Automotive in Roseville, CA

They are so good. Honest people, excellent technicians, and they do fantastic work. They have kickass reviews if you want to do some research.

I have also heard they are a great shop. No personal experience though.
