Thomas Automotive Repair

Had a repair that was better to take to a pro than to do myself. They got the part and did the work by the next day, the charge was reasonable and the guys were a breeze to talk to. Would not hesitate to bring my car back again in the future!

Love these guys, they understand I'm a mobile service and when my van is in the shop I'm not making money. They always do their best to get me in and out as quick as possible and at a decent price. And they stand by their work

Sean is quite good at what he does. This shop is kind of messy which is why the 4 star rating, no AC in office for customers that have to wait so be prepared to deal with the heat. This is a father and son run shop too, dad is good with customer service, son is still young and a bit naive but he will come around with age. This shop is headed in the right direction. My 2022 Ford F-250 XLT was in need of a brake job and spark plug change and they did it with no fuss, only took a couple hours for each job. Overall, highly recommend if you want quality work done on your vehicle.

Told me they can do diagnostic on my transmission for 125, they couldn't finish in time and hit me up for more money, then tell me there are flakes of Medal in my oil, but couldn't show me. They tell me I need a new transmission for 9000 dollars. These guys are not trust worthy. I did the transmission work myself, and it works better than ever and it did not cost me anywhere near 9000 dollars. I will not recommend or go to these idiots ever again.

04/11/24 UPDATE: DO NOT GO HERE. He said he fixed the issue, well obviously he DID NOT and now we're worse off than before he "repaired" our only car and the weather is getting hot now so that's great for us and our kids, NOT! Thousands of dollars and our valuable time wasted at this "repair" shop. I don't feel bad about my review anymore, we gave this shop the benefit of the doubt for too long but it's obvious now that Sean and/or his workers ripped us off! 02/2024 It really hurts me to write this review because Sean used to be so good to us. But his newer workers, not so much. Decide for yourself, we don't want to assume but we're going off our personal multiple experiences here. Sadly this shop is no longer what it used to be. A few years ago this guy was great, honest, fast and got the job done. But this last year we noticed some new faces and I hate to say it but this shop got so popular it seems the workers got a big head, are greedy, and may be purposely causing more car issues too. Recently we went in with 2 small issues, he fixed one and since we were on a budget he said the other could wait no problem. But there were still noises with the issue they fixed and he said he didn't hear any noises. We didn't argue and went home but noticed things were worse with the remaining issue plus NEW sudden issues shortly after. There were obvious issues he should have noticed but he didn't mention them at all. So either he really didn't notice or he/his workers purposely did that to ensure we'd come back, either way it's all bad. We told Sean the owner about it and he said to come back, we did and one of his newer workers tried to convince us to get a bunch of costly stuff done immediately. We asked Sean about it and he confirmed there were NEW issues but no need to rush the job, so his worker lied, not the first time BTW. We've already paid this shop a lot for multiple issues since we started going to him a few years ago. And recently almost a thousand on a "small" issue. So because recently every time his workers check/work on our car we go home with a half fixed car and find more issues, his workers acting shady, and Sean not noticing obvious problems anymore we no longer trust this shop unfortunately. Worst part is this shop knows our sad one car and poor financial situation yet it feels they took advantage of our trust in returning to them multiple times out of desperation and paying them anyways after the way they treated us. We just really appreciated Sean's work and honesty from the first 2 times we went to him and he did amazing, so we tried to brush off the new problems as coincidence. But his shop really went downhill for us recently. Either Sean doesn't know he has bad workers or he's in over his head with too much work and isn't being as thorough as he was a few years ago. Too bad because Sean really seems like a nice hard working guy. Can't assume bad, but we've given enough chances and his shop greatly failed us and we don't want other struggling families wasting their time and money here with no guarantees. So we'll be trying new shops and I'll be leaving a review for them ASAP.

Fixed my Chevy truck when I had a knock sensor issue. They had to replace them twice, and were reasonably priced. I supplied the parts, so all they had to do was install them for us. I don't know the man's name, but I believe it was the manager ,he was really nice and knowledgeable, the only thing I didn't like ,was when after changing the sensors a 2nd time, the truck popped a catalytic converter code, and tried to scare us, and say that we'd possibly need to change the whole exhaust system, and he looked up the most expensive one for that truck....turns out Nothing was wrong with the catalyst system, and the truck never popped that code again, and we were able to pass smog....that was the only downside, that he could have responded differently. Other than that, I'd definitely take my truck and my other vehicles there again in the future. This shop got us in, in a reasonable time frame, and are good people.

Friendly, timely, less cost vs. dealership, honest estimate.

I had a haywire electrical issue causing problems with my brake lights. After reading the reviews on Thomas Automotive, I decided to make an appointment and am so glad I did. Before going in, Sean called ahead and asked what I had been experiencing just to be prepared. When I got there the office was very friendly and relaxed even though I was a few minutes late. Sean was able to diagnose and repair my issues quickly and I had my car back within a few hours. I even received a follow up call a few days later to make sure everything was going ok and that I was happy. Thank you, again, Thomas Automotive, you will definitely have a returning customer for any future needs!

I have a BMW X-5 and have for years been looking for a mechanic that is competent and trustworthy- I found one with Sean and his crew at Thomas Automotive Repair. They always take the time to explain my options to me, are honest in their assessments and have never led me astray. They are competent in diagnosing my car's mechanical issues and their prices are reasonable and fair. On more than one occasion they have gone above and beyond. One time I needed my car to transport my grand-daughter safely, but the parts arrived late and it looked like they would have to wait until Monday to complete the repair. Sean understood the situation and, without me asking, stayed late on a Friday to complete the repair. When I came in to pick up the car he was friendly and not stressed at all, but left me with the impression that my business meant something to him and my concerns did as well. On another Friday the parts were delayed in Sac and I again was going to be without my car that weekend. One of Sean's employees Michael offered (if I picked up the part at BMW in Sacramento on Saturday morning) to come into and complete the repair on Saturday afternoon, when they are normally closed. That repair took longer than expected but Michael stayed there for several hours on a difficult task making sure the cooling system was properly repaired. He was willing to take time away from his family to ensure my repairs were completed timely. We spent the time sharing stories about how great God is. Those are just two of the many times Sean and Michael and their crew cared for a customer. Sean is incredibly knowledgeable in diagnosing my cars and he has been on point each time. I appreciate his service and his dedication to his customers. If you are looking for a honesty, trustworthy and competent mechanic and a good person to care for your cars, I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas Auto Repair.

Sean always takes care of all my automotive needs. Thomas automotive is the only place I will take my cars.

Sean did an absolute DYNAMITE job on my Chevrolet Silverado. I had to have a new trnsmission installed and he was absolutely professional from start to finish. A week after the job was finished, I drove from Yuba City to Death Valley and back and the truck ran absolutely perfect. If that isn't a testiment to an amazing job done, what is??

Feb 06, 2024

Sean is worth the wait. His schedule was full, but after giving me an appointment and quote, I was prepared to take the hit. During the repair, he called to notify me that he needed to order another part. I was happy that my mechanic was thoroughly repairing my car. It's running better and doesn't smell hot anymore. Thank you, Thomas Automotive. 😊

Feb 06, 2024

Sean was very nice, honest, professional and did the engine repair in a day. Best place hands down to get your engine worked on in Yuba City. Very knowledgeable, honorable and professional.

Feb 06, 2023

Our amp meter suddenly went to zero, we feared alternator failure and a dead battery at some point. We found Thomas Auto Repair and called them and they said to come in and they would check it our. A young man named Sean immediately helped us and diagnosed the problem ( the batteries were charging fine) and didn’t even charge us! I highly recommend Thomas Auto Repair!
