I am so happy with the work Sal did to my car. I called on a Saturday morning and he was kind and gracious in getting me in and quickly fixed my problem. He went above and beyond and was the fairest and kindest mechanic I have yet to encounter in California! If you need auto repairs, go see Sal, you will not be disappointed!Service: Auto power window repairService: Auto power window repair

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 wouldn't 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.

Sal is an amazing Mechanic! He not only cares about meeting the needs of the vehicle you are needing worked on, but he cares about the needs of the customer too. If he doesn't have the part right then and therefor your vehicle, he is quick to order the part for you in a timely manner. One thing I can say about the business done here is everything is done in excellence. He's a very patient and kind man. I hope and pray his business is kindly and generously rewarded for all his efforts and the time he has invested in the job. I pray he is also rewarded for the love he shows towards the people! I would recommend him to anyone and hope their experience was as a amazing as mine was. As a mom fleeing from domestic violence Sal was there to be a helping hand for me and my daughter, when we were in a time of need. If I could choose a verse to describe Sal, This would be it:Mark 12: 30-3130 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. [a] 31 The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. [b] There is no commandment greater than these. Be blessed! Jesus loves you!

I like Sal for four reasons. 1) He places importance on educating the customer and saving them money. 2) Willing to work with you on a budget. 3) Listens well to how you are describing the symptoms and talks with you about solutions. 4) Does high-quality work.I've been very pleased every time I go here.

I drove from Weaverville to Redding on a Saturday to attend a convention. I had trouble starting the car and needed repair. It being Saturday at 4 pm everyone is closed or closing and unable to help. I found Sal and drove over all the while keeping the car running. Sal was not there initially but a customer out front assured me that Sal would return very shortly and that I was in excellent hands. Sal very patiently helped me to diagnose the problem and resolve it!I can not say enough about the excellent service and how much I appreciated it! I was able to return to my event and have no worries about driving home or how I would get to work on Monday by 5 am, and all at no charge! Service like this is a rare and valuable commodity. If ever I have a major repair I will ABSOLUTELY take my vehicle to Sal!

Not only is Sal an excellent technician, he's the most honest that I've ever met. He usually doesn't charge for diagnosis, the only shop I've known to do so. Incredible Christian man.

Took my c6 corvette to sal to have a nitrous kit and gauges installed. Everything came out excellent, beyond my expectations. While it did cost a bit more than I hoped, I feel you pay for quality work by a knowledgable mechanic, and the cost wasn't too excessive, for that reason I'd gladly recommend anyone with a performance or high end car to come here.

Sal is awesome ... a master mechanic who takes the time to talk to you about what he needs to do, what he finds, and what he'll do about it. Can't ask for more!

I was traveling from Monrovia California to Washington bringing back my deceased fathers 06 mini Cooper. Started having problems about Los Banos and got codes pulled ataan AutoZone for anao2 sensor andamap sensor. made it to redding before things got worse. Sal's automotive repair & hotrod hideout just saved me. Got him to install bank 1 O2 sensor. He didn't have a lift but got some 2x4s had me drive up on them and he switched it out for me. He then cleared codes and drove around the block. One light came back on for same O2 code. I started it back up a few minutes later and the light was out again and seems to be running good. Hit highway to in n out and still doing good. Gonna wait for other part to come in at Napa and then hit the road back to Washington. Thank you so much!!!

Good service friendly person. If you price check somewhere else while in his shop he might tell you to leave. Other than that he is super friendly, knowledgeable and kind.
