Swim’s Enterprises

Decent price for in the neighborhood towing. Other places I called around was $ 100 or more. No fuss, no muss. What else could you ask for in a towing service?

Horrible service and very unprofessional.
Simply put it. We had a confirmed appointment to tow my car. I called check in to make sure everything was on schedule. They were late, so I called again. The rep over the phone stated the job was canceled. I ask why. He said it’s because the driver has a flat tire. Really a flat tire? Lame excuse for not wanting to take a job after it was confirmed.
1. The job was canceled. They didn’t even bother informing me.
2. A flat tire? Really!!! My assumption is the driver found out the car was in a parking garage. And refused the job.
3. It’s no nice leaving people stranded. Especially, when they are already in a bad position. And your service means everything.
On the other note. I called Specialty Towing, spoke with the owner Shane. Awesome guy. He went the extra mile and took care of my towing needs.

They came to pick up my car because I had sold it to a very reputable company with superior CS… this is ONLY about Swims… the tow truck driver (wont mention his name)
was totally unprofessional and challenging me at every turn. It is not his job to question me about a business deal between the business whom I sold the car to and myself nor question me about the condition of the car, simply to deliver my check, get the title and the car! I definitely would not do business with this company if I had a car problem in the future!

I must say that this shop has the best customer service I have had in a long time. Good fair prices and honest. You just do not find that any more. I had a oil change done. All the staff was professional. I like that, they stayed late and gave my car a good once over before completing the job. I was very impressed with there front end guy named Ray, he is very knowledgeable, and had excellent customer service. I am recommending this shop to any one who wants a good honest shop to work on there car. They also do towing as well. There prices for towing are very reasonable as well.
THANK YOU, Swim’s

Commuting to Sacramento, I have used Swims for emergency repairs. I have found them to be honest and fast. No surprises, no BS, just good service.

My dad has been taking his cars to swims for years and always received great service. The one time he went somewhere else he saved money on the initial estimate but ended up paying more in the long run because the work wasn’t done right and the mechanics weren’t upfront about the costs. Swims is NOT like that. The guys at swims are very honest, they don’t try to scam you or screw you out of your money. Take your car to swims and you’ll get good quality work done by honest people.
Swims is the only place I bring my car when it needs a repair. I recommend you take your car there too.

My family has been using Swim’s since 92. Their prices are fair and the repairs have stood the test of time. Gary is a mechanic you can trust.

Got stranded in Sac (I live in Chico, CA, two hours away) with a cross threaded oil filter cap stuck on there and no tools to get it off. Had my car towed to Swim’s and they had it up on the lift and popped that sucker out in a minute flat. They even let me watch, which is great because I’m trying to learn more about cars. We still needed a part that would take two days to ship (I didn’t have two days to wait though), so they told me to head to Pick n Pull in the morning and get one off another Toyota. Showed me exactly what tools I needed and exactly how to remove it. I was stuck at the shop til after closing too, so the boys hung out with me and we had a good time shootin the shit until my buddy showed up to pick me up. Not only were these guys amazingly cool, but they took good care of me and didn’t ask some outrageous number for their time. As a female, I always worry about getting ripped off at the shop, but at Swim’s, they took damn good care of me. Since my car is great on gas, I’m seriously going to be driving all the way down to Sac from Chico when I need repairs done in the future. I have never enjoyed a shop experience so much in my life. Thanks boys, keep doing what you’re doing. :)

I don’t know where to start because i usually give great reviews. I took my 2003 Hyandai Elantra in to get a new head gasket installed. I know, thousands of dollars for repairs. i paid the money however i came to find out months later after coolant leaks and more issues that they installed a faulty Head Gasket and needed to be replaced again because there was still excessive water leaking out of the exhaust. i would think they would have known that due to the fact that i took it back to them multiple times. This shop is just out to get your money so if its not a small job under 500 $ i would go elsewhere. They didn’t even want to refund me my money for the troubles that i went through. SMDH. Shame on Swims Enterprises or Swims Automotive. Same place.ugh SAD and so true.

I blew up the Hemi in my Chrysler, not my finest hour. I asked around and was told to try Gary. I dropped my car off and they went to town. I know that the job was way more involved than he had originally thought but he held true to his quote and did an amazing job. It is so refreshing to find a mechanic that is a straight shooter and he will be my mechanic for as long as I am in Sacramento. Highest marks

My inlaws started using Swims after a AAA tow and service. This is a family-​run garage and towing service– ask for Gary. He’s worked on both our Toyota and our Ford F-​150. Their rates are reasonable and the service is friendly.
I grew up with my dad doing most of the service on our cars. Having Swims close to my house is also as good as having a mechanic in the family.
