Kings Auto Service

Wayne continues to keep my car healthy. His repairs have all worked flawlessly (brakes, balljoints, oil gaskets for leaks). His rates and repair options are very fair, give him a try!

Wayne is honest and is always very clear about what service he is performing. Even if your car’s manufacturer recommends service, he won’t automatically do it just to get the business. He’d rather send you away than do work that doesn’t need to be done. He’s prompt and quick, but to echo what a previous reviewer said, sometimes he doesn’t call you so you do need to get a time estimate from him and call him to see if your vehicle is ready.

Wayne has worked on my cars several times and also on my family’s cars based on my recommending him. He does a much better job than any other garage in town and his prices are fair. I would recommend him highly. Thank you!

Wow! Kings Auto is the BEST! My minivan was a mess. It hit 100K miles and all of a sudden all types of things started happening. I did not want to go to the dealer so I decided to try this little place off Freeport Blvd just south of William Land Park. Wayne happily looked at my town and country van with the expertise of a well trained medical doctor. Like a physician he went through all of the symptoms of van was experiencing, asked me about its history, suggested a couple diagnostic tests and made recommendations. He consulted me on my options and provided a couple scenarios to choose from. He took the time to educate me on what was going on with my van. He was very honest about what he could fix and what he could not. He instructed me how to approach the dealer with a couple computer related items that they should correct. In the end, I had him complete all of the repairs of those items he could. He was fast, friendly and very affordable. Even when I thought I might have had a relapse with an issue, he happily looked at my van again, with no charge and gratefully the only issue was with me… not the van
I would not hesitate to recommend Kings Auto Repair and only wish he would work on Saabs as well :-)

A screw wedged itself into my tire yesterday, so I needed to find the nearest garage before it wiggled its way out again and gave me a flat. Luckily, King’s was right down the street. When we told him what happened, he dropped what he was doing, waved us in, and had us turn the wheel to face him. He repaired the tire, checked it, and filled all four tires with air. When we asked what we owed, he refused to take money for a small job, and insisted repeatedly it was on the house. The whole experience totally renewed my faith in humanity — he was just doing a service to be kind, and to welcome us to Sacramento. It speaks volumes for a business that relies on trustworthiness, too. I’ll definitely be bringing my car back here for bigger issues in the future.

Wayne is a stand up guy. He’s no bullshit, tells you the way it is. Prices are reasonable and you have a good person to deal with. He’s not super good at calling you though… I always end up contacting the shop before they call me. (It’s usually 3 PM the day I’m going to pick it up, and he hasn’t called to tell me about the status.) However, when you call and tell him which car you are calling about, he always has the stats ready to go.
I brought my old Camry to them (which was stolen), my old Subaru (which was totaled in a wreck), and my dad’s old clunky Volvo as well. He did an amazing job on the Volvo 940 — The thing was on the verge of its death bed. He replaced the drive belts and reworked the exhaust… It worked great!
