Motive Car Care

Jan 23, 2025

I have an old truck a 1992 S10 and unlike the other review of a 91 Ford James took great care of me. He fixed the issue I had with my truck and I was glad to pay him for the time and effort he spent on my old beater. Thank you motive car care for always taking care of my family and my vehicles.

If you're looking for an honest, reliable, and top-notch car repair shop, this place is a true gem. From the moment I walked in, I could tell they were dedicated to providing quality service and ensuring customer satisfaction. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and transparent about everything they do. They took the time to explain the issues with my car in detail and offered me clear options without pushing unnecessary services. What really sets them apart is their integrity. I never felt like I was being upsold or pressured into any repairs I didn’t need. The pricing was fair, and they completed the work on time as promised. My car has been running smoothly ever since, and I truly trust them with any future repairs. It’s hard to find a shop that combines quality, honesty, and great customer service, but this one does it all. Highly recommend!

SMOG: NO PASS = PAY. There are “no pass, no pay stations” and this is not one of them. They even stated if I came back to smog later, they would still charge me. Some smog shops offer a deal like, if you fail (but still pay) you can come back and test free after. Please do your research.

First time customer. 2004 Honda CVR check engine light code P0134 replace air/fuel ratio sensor. Team replaced both upstream/downstream sensors and catalytic converter due to blockage. Smog inspection was due, completed same day (I didn't have to make a return appointment, so thoughtful). AND driver side window stopped working so long ago I can't recall when, which I discovered when driving home was fixed at no charge! Highly recommend Motive Car Care. Thank you Sean and team.

Best place to bring you family vehicles to keep them safe and running properly. Trust worthy mechanics. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Always do a great job. Tell them Rich told you about them. I've been coming since 2007

Great service & accommodating staff. From wiring issues, check engine lights to oil changes. Quality servive everytime I stop in

Great service, they were able to get me in quickly and they were finished with my car when they said they would be. They also charged less than some of the other quotes I got...

Have always received great service here. Honest mechanic. Only downside for me is the location. Not on public transportation line so you either need to have some one pick you up after dropping your car off or call an uber. Same situation when picking your car up. If just getting quick service you can wait.

Honest, affordable, and experienced. Shawn, James, and Walter are amazing mechanics. I've been coming here for years and always had a good experience. I have referred many friends and family who have had the same experience.

Motive exclusively work on my old Toyota Tacoma for almost years I think. They are great guys, and like yesterday they fixed it funding less work needed than I thought. They never findd extra things that need to be “‘fixed”. An excellent, trustworthy place. Cannot recommend higher. MA in North Highlands

Repeat customer this place is honest and always gets my car fixed quick and very nice I've referred all my family and friends here!!

Honest and reliable

Over the years this has become my go to shop. I have an old converted mini school bus. No one wants to work on it but for getting it smogged and doing small work on the bus this shop has been great. They are friendly, help answer questions and give you options so you can choose what you want to do. I’ll continue to take my cars here and get their help.

They couldn't do the work on my car told me to take to dealer and did not charge me for the diagnostic test. That's a good mechanic

Went in to find exact cause for check engine light to come on (08, dodge charger). The guy did just that. Told me what's wrong after diagnostic. Went home and fix what he said and my car engine light turned off. Very relieved cuz I did go to other shop and was told this and that and always pressured me to let them fix it at a high price. In short, this shop was very honest, felt no pressure and was precise on his diagnosis of my car. Very recommended.
