While we have deep specialization in European cars, we provide full service for all domestic and Japanese imports — from a Honda Accord to a BMW M3.
5How long has 916 Auto Repair been in business?
We have been serving the Gold River and Rancho Cordova community since 2015. Most of our customers come back to us — and bring their family with them.
6Do you offer a shuttle service while my car is being fixed?
We work with you to keep you moving while your vehicle is in the shop. Call ahead and we will arrange a convenient drop-off and pickup so the repair fits your day.
7Why should I choose an independent shop over a chain?
Independent shops like ours prioritize long-term customer relationships over high-volume sales targets. We invest in the relationship — not in shifting metal to hit quarterly numbers.
8Do you provide digital inspections?
Yes. We document what we find with photos and clear explanations so you see exactly why we recommend a repair — never a black-box "you need this" line item.
