Freeport Automotive

First, you need to know that this business was sold in November 2015, so past reviews may not predict future performance. I took my car here with a thermostat problem. They fixed it and charged me. After closing, they called to say the mechanic had left a part off and could I come back. I did — the next morning. Two days later there was radiator fluid dripping from the bottom of my car. I took it back to Freeport Automotive. They said is wasn’t their work, but a bad heater hose. They fixed it and charge me. The next day my car overheated and broke down while I was driving it — thermometer to the red line. I pulled into a gas station and added four buckets of water to get back to their shop. They said that their heater hose connection came off (their fault-​no charge). Now my engine is running rough at acceleration, but I won’t take it back because they could make it worse.

Fair, timely, and helpful. I would recommend!

I have been taking my 2000 trans am to Freeport automotive for two years or so now. I really appreciate an honest car repair shop. I have been really burnt by mechanics in the past so I am really leery. But the owner and the guys that work for him are nothing but helpful. I have a fair understanding of my vehicle and do a lot of the work myself. They understand this and accommodate me by telling me exactly what my options are. I will continue to go there for any problems I may have in the future. They make me feel like I’m not just another customer and I really appreciate that. They always go out of their way to make sure I’m happy with their work and that is how it’s supposed to be.

I was driving from Remo to Santa Barbara on I-​5 when I picked up a large plastic bag on the under carriage of my car. It was making a terrible noise so I took an exit hoping to find an automotive repair shop. I luckily found Freeport Automotive. I pulled in and told the owner, Mike, what had happened. They immediately put the car on the lift, removed the plastic from the drive train and removed the melted plastic from the manifold. They offered me coffee and a cool place for me and my dog to sit while they fixed my car. All this and they wouldn’t charge me because I was from out of town and in trouble. I can’t thank Mike and his crew enough. They were so caring, helpful, and kind. If I lived in the Sacramento area, I would take my car to them for service without hesitation. If wish Unilocal had more than 5 stars for they would deserve all of them. Thank you Mike.

Pretty good oil change and repair shop! I really miss moe!!! He was my favorite and I’ve been a customer for 4 years BUT only returned when Moe was working and when Mitch was the boss!
Last time I went, it just didn’t feel the same and I feel like I was just an ordinary customer. When Moe and Mitch were working there, they made me feel like my car was getting taken care of and made sure I was a satisfied customer!!!
I have 2 cars and I took my lowered 02 honda there and Moe had to use 2×4’s to drive my car on the ramp due to the ground effects, and made sure it wouldn’t scrape… When I went when he as working there anymore, my car was taken to the back so I couldn’t see it until if was finished getting an oil change.
I got home and noticed my front lip was scraped because the dude there probably didn’t know how to drive a lowered car… But I fixed it already and haven’t returned…
There prices are okay, slightly higher than other places…
Seating is limited in the wait room… Shop is older and next to a small market where bums go to get booze!!!

Trustworthy and honest, as a single woman I feel the people at freeport don’t take advantage and take the time to make sure I understand what is being repaired and why.

I took my P-​30 work truck in after having the upper control arm bolt snap, the guys were able to repair the truck and have it back on the road making money within a day. Needless to say I’m happy with the work and satisfied with the price charged, I highly recommend this shop you will not be sorry!

These guys are great. They explained the repairs needed. Answered all my questions and got the repairs done quickly. Thank you for the great service.

Went above & beyond to clearly tell me the problem, and what I needed to do to fix it! No none-​sense, straight forward! Good quality in auto shop! Highly recommended.
