George’s Automotive

What a relief to find a place that does excellent work! Customer service is beyond approach, got a ride to and from a resturant as I waited for the repairs to be done…

I’m so glad I found George’s. They are friendly, honest and fair with their pricing. I have taken my car there for some minor stuff and wasn’t even charged. I am so happy to have mechanics I can trust!

Another mechanic told me I needed to replace a leaking power steering rack and hose. Called George for 2^nd opinion and he said he would do it for $ 300 cheaper. After he looked at it, he told me the power steering rack and hose were NOT leaking so didn’t need to be replaced. Naturally, George will get my future business!

These guys are friendly, honest, and fair. They really know their stuff. Had my car in and out before the promised time. I will not go anywhere else.

George is an excellent mechanic, plus a very nice person. He is fair and honest. He usually gets my repairs done in one or two days. I have never had to take my car back in because the problem was not fixed. Many times he has fixed quick minor problems for me immediately and didn’t even charge me. That is almost unheard of. I sure recommend him if you ever need a mechanic.

George’s Automotive was recommended to us by our usual mechanic shop because we broke down two hundred miles from home. So I just wanted to write a quick Thank you to George. It’s never fun to have to bring your car in for repair but George makes it almost painless (hey, a bill is a bill, right?) Our car broke down and needed a part. I can’t say what kind of part. (I’m a girl. A part is a part) But George had it shipped overnight and we got our car as promised with a fair price. George gave us an estimate for the repair and it wasn’t a nickel more. I’d recommend them to anyone in the area that needs a car repair. No offense George, but I hope I won’t be seeing you for awhile! :)

We’ve taken our Subaru in there twice now, and have had the work done well at a reasonable cost. The people seem very straightforward and honest. Can’t ask more than that.

My mom is a George fan.
She takes her car in when various warning lights go off. He has reset them and double checked things without charging her.
They seem attentive and must be fairly priced, as my mom is a Senior, she is always value shopping.

With many places to take your car or truck for repairs its hard to know who to trust.
My business depends on running vehicles and when something goes wrong I know who I can count on.
Fast estimates that are accurate.
Honest & knowledgeable about keeping repairs within your budget
Prompt repair that is completed in the time that is in the promised.
Prices that are not only fair but less than expected.
Thanks for keeping my trucks rolling!

First of all, I’d like to address Peter B’s review and say that I find it extremely unfair. Accusing George of «stealing money from the elderly»?! Give me a break! If the repair cost more than you anticipated, it is probably because the car needed additional work. He is very thorough and makes sure to tell you about anything else that needs to be done, including fixing mistakes and oversights made by other mechanics. No matter what it takes, he will make sure that your car is in great condition before it leaves his shop. Quite frankly, if you manage to drive away from George’s Automotive unhappy, that’s your own fault. All the LOCALS that actually live in Sonora know that George is the best mechanic in town!
I have been taking my car to George for years, since even before he opened his own place and he worked at another shop in Sonora. He has always been more than happy to take time to go over every aspect of the repair and the cost, both before and after service. All you have to do is ask! As a young female car owner, I usually have a LOT of questions about my car and the necessary work, and he has always been patient and thorough in his explanations. Furthermore, as a college student, I appreciate that he gives accurate estimates and offers very reasonable rates for the high quality of work that he does.
I was born and raised in Sonora, but am currently living in Sacramento for college. Recently I had a problem with my car, and rather than take it to some random shady mechanic in Sacramento, I actually used some of my free towing miles to have my car taken back to Sonora so it could be taken care of by George’s Automotive. He is 100% worth the trouble!
George is an expert mechanic who can be trusted to get the job done right, and for his integrity and great work he is worth every penny he charges. He is my #1 recommendation whenever anyone I know needs help with their car!

I live in Reno My mother in Sonora, I am a master A.S.E. TECHNICIAN WITH 39 YEARS EXPIERENCE. My mothers little dodge neon went in for a rear brake job and this thief charged her $ 300.00 WHAT??? WE JUST HAD BRAKES CHECKED AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD %95 REMAINING APARENTLY A SHOE BROKE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A SPRING KIT THIS JOB SHOULD NOT HAVE COST MORE THAN $ 135.00 HE DID NOT EVEN LIST PART#‘S THE STATE DEMANDS THAT IS DONE WARNING RIPOFF STEALS MONEY FROM THE ELDERLY!!!
This is the home of the$ 600.00 brake job!! George must be as good a talker as he is a thief! Hey George why is your shop empty all the time? Hey GEORGE why do you not list part numbers and itemize your work orders like The State of California DEMANDS you do? Come on George a set a shoes and a spring kit cost you under $ 35.00 why did you replace wheel cylinders on a car with 40,00 miles on it? They were not leaking because they just got checked, why did you not save your customer some money and just rebuild them ‚…you DO know how to that George? Why touch them at all George! you saw the low mileage, can’t you figure in your thieving brain how much she drive a year George… Yeah I know you were temporarily blinded by dollar signs. Guess you can get some more Christmas presents now HUH? George. Hey George you may fool the other drones but you do NOT fool me!!! Hey George being a former employee California Bureau of Auto Repair you should know better. I will be contacting one of my ex coworkers to find out and report you George!!!
