I rarely leave reviews but felt it was important to share my experience with Main Street Automotive. Late Saturday we were driving to Apple Hill and my daughters car started overheating. We had the car towed to Main Street Automotive. They were closed so we had to leave it. Since we lived about an hour away we were anxious to have to leave it in the parking lot but the tow truck driver pointed out the security cameras and that it was right across the street from the police station. We placed the key in an envelope with our contact information and were able to put it in the after hours door slot

They quoted me on my brakes then fixed them, drove around a bit and then it felt off so brought car back and they said that i would need to add more to the calipers or something, not 100% sure as i am not a car person which is why i was counting on a car shop to do the work for me but it seems like they just want as much money as possible rather than fixing my car the 1st time

Incredible. I usually try to do my own work, but whenever I don't have time, or it's too big a project for me, I always bring it here. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and honest. If you go here, they will take care of you. Pricing is always reasonable, and if it's not, they'll let you know, and help you figure out what to do. From simple engine codes, to valve cover gaskets, to head replacements and full engine builds, they will do the work you need done to get back on the road. Not only are they fast, but they're quality. I've never seen a bad job from them, and I've looked! I had an

I originally went to Tom Sierra. Main reason was to have headlight bulb replaced and ask for tires to be rotated while I was there. I sat outside for little over 2 hours (as waiting area inside was blocked off) to be told they could not do it today but, we rotated your tires. Stopped at main street automotive. There lobby was full with customers too. They had the light bulb replaced in less than a 1/2 hour and I did not have to wait outside. Very professional and courteous. Highly recommend them.

Honest, talented mechanics. Jeremy and his team really took care of us after an axle broke unexpectedly. Fast repair for a fair price. Very concerned with making sure our vehicle was in safe driving condition. Would definitely bring my car to them in the future.

I went to this establishment with my automobile, and I asked if they accepted car shield, he replied no, and that wasn't a problem, I ended up, paying for it our of pocket somewhere else, and that wasn't the problem, the problem was that he never really spoke to me, and really didn't give it a second care . I would have gladly paid him out of, pocket, but he didn't really seem customer oriented, and I'm so very glad that I took my money and business elsewhere, and I am known for referring, and being a a repeat customer, for the right company and people who really care

These guys did an *excellent* job.

Jeremy and Eric were incredibly professional, came in under their estimate, and repaired the broken axle on my '99 Corolla in an hour flat on a busy morning.

They went above and beyond. I really, really appreciate your great work and your honesty. Thank you!

I'll be back. Highly recommend.

We started taking our older cars to Main Street Auto about 2 years ago. They have been very honest with work that needs to be done. They stand by their work. I have never had a problem getting in when my van has had emergencies. We moved to Folsom and we still will only trust them with our autos. We highly recommend them to everyone.

I took my car there for a smog check after another garage kept messing it up. They got it done right, while I waited. My son brought his truck in too and they treated him well. Good folks.

Picked this place for auto repair based on the positive reviews. It was a mistake. When I went to drop off my car to get looked at/repaired for occasionally stalling/engine shut down, the man at the front desk told me that because the problem is only occasional, they may not be able to fix it. Okay? This seems strange because an experienced mechanic should be able to take the info I provided, look under the hood, and solve the problem. I got a call 2 days later that the mechanic drove my car to Cameron Park and back and it never stalled or turned off, so there is nothing they can do to fix it.

Excellent service. Complimentary WiFi internet while I waited for my Toyota Tundra brakes and oil to be changed. The front desk service representative was courteous and helpful throughout the process. I drove up from Midtown Sacramento because I trust the service here. See you next time. Thank you.

Update: The owner called me to say the work was done, but the parts used were faulty. That may be the case, so I am updating this review. The owner was very nice, explained the possibility of a faulty part, and apologized. I added a star for this. However, if I had spoken to him in the first place the situation may have turned out differently. Sadly, when I asked for a manager or owner previoisly I was told no one was available.

On our way to Tahoe & heard a thumping noise that got progressively worse as my husband drove. Decided we better stop in Placerville to have it checked out. Pulled into Main Street Automotive & right away the guy determined the lug nuts weren't tightened all the way. This was from a service we had last week elsewhere. The guy was great & didn't even charge us. If you live in the area, I highly recommend this shop.

I highly suggest this place. I made them a yelp just because how happy I am. We were just coming up the base of the mountain to tahoe and our car started making a chugging grinding sound. We thought...great... our vacation when we worked so hard to get time off to come is ruined and we might have to have a tow truck take us and the car home. We stopped here and in 30 min they took the car in and fixed it in 2 hours maybe less. Very happy. Our vacation still going well thanks to them!

Terrible customer service and this guy is SHADY. Take this as your sign to stay away. This guy makes baseless claims to get more money and his claims were disproven by other mechanics.

Great repair shop, and always fair. Jeremy always gives different options on what should be fixed to help keep costs down. I bring all of our vehicles to his place, and have been doing so for the last 20 years.

This is the best shop I have ever been to. The people are fantastic. I am a single mom with a baby and when my car was failing on me they repaired it same day and even drove me home and picked my up so I didn't have to wait at the shop with my baby. I highly recommend this business.

My car began playing up on a journey from the Bay Area to South Lake, made worse with two toddlers and round 100 degree temp outside. I stopped at Placerville and Jeremy's team kindly offered to take a look at it for me right away to see what the problem was and to see if I would be okay to continue up the mountain.

Firstly, their service couldn't have been quicker, they had the car up in the air in minutes.

My children and I ended up spending a couple of hours at Main Street Auto while I figured out logistics of rental car etc and Jeremy figured out what he needed to repair the car
