Thank you so much to Hirbin and the rest of the team for taking care of me and my car needs. I appreciate the professionalism, courtesy and respect I received along with Hirbin keeping in contact with me the entire time my car was being worked on. Highly recommend them.

I don't usually write great reviews for products, companies, or anything else, really. But I want to make an exception for the great service I received at University Auto. I recently had my 2006 G35 sports coupe in the shop for some serious routine maintenance and a general checkup. It's a little over 18yrs old now and was a little overdue for some serious TLC. The guys at University Auto provided just what the car, and I, needed with their professionalism, knowledge, experience and exceptional attention to detail. University Auto is not your usual Mom & Pop repair shop with a couple part time mechanics. They are a well run impressively large and extensive operation with well trained and knowledgeable employees like Irvin, Mark, Charlie and all the others who are ready and eager to take good care of you and your car or truck. They even have a shuttle service for those of us who need it. Amazing! I highly recommend them!


Jan 06, 2025

I've had my vehicle serviced twice here so far (oil changes both times), with plans to return for further services. They are very professional, informative, and honest. Their shuttle service has been a tremendous help. Very satisfied.


Dec 06, 2024

They are professional, willing to help, and though they were busy they took My car and did the service at day

I always know I can count on University Auto. Even when I need emergency service, their team goes the extra mile to get me back on the road. Nick is a rock star! Thanks!!


Nov 06, 2024

Nick at the front is always super friendly and helpful. He helped me out by taking the time to explain the repairs needed and answering all my questions. I highly recommend University Automotive to anyone looking for reliable automotive service!


Nov 06, 2024

This place gets you with coupons for reasonable service then they find things "wrong" with your vehicle. Before you know it you're paying $1000s for work you probably don't need.


Oct 06, 2024

Beyond impressed with this company from the moment I walked in, worked with a gentleman named Nick, he was very professional and friendly, so happy I found a good shop.if your in the Sacramento area and need a good place to go for automotive repair go and see Nick at university automotive.

Had gone to the dealer for years and got to know Grady Dillon. When I learned he moved to University Automotive we followed him there. Had my car there for an AC problem and they fixed quickly!


Oct 06, 2024

I highly recommend taking your vehicle to University Automotive, my service advisor Nick was able to get me in the same day my car was having issues, they were able to get my vehicle diagnosed and repaired quickly.

Took my car there for service was helped by an advisor named Nick who was very friendly and communicated with me to make sure my issue was resolved. The turn around time was also really fast. They also offer shuttle services and overall a great shop I’d recommend to anyone!


Oct 06, 2024

University automotive is the best shop. Kind, informative and quick.


Oct 06, 2024

overcharged for repairs and had to go to different shop to fix what they messed up. Joke of a place and buyer beware


Oct 06, 2024

Grady, was so helpful and honest when it came to giving me prices and what my car needed fixing on and amazing service!


Oct 06, 2024

My overall experience last week was perfect! Grady Dillon has been my service advisor for about a decade now. My cars and I follow him wherever he goes (yes, he’s that great! 😆). He always provides the best advice and ensures you’re taken care of. While no one enjoys hearing the “bad news” about their vehicle, Grady has a unique way of making the information digestible in his delivery. As car repairs can be pricey - I appreciate his integrity re: some things needing immediate attention while other things are necessary, but could wait. I’m grateful to have someone in the car service industry that I can trust with recommendations especially have little to no car knowledge. Lastly, the quick shuttle service provided by University Automobile was also an added bonus to the overall experience. Thanks again!!


Oct 06, 2024

Nick and Grady are the best go see them for anything you need they will get you taken care of with no issues highly recommend. Top notch customer service


Oct 06, 2024

We brought our vehicle into University Automotive for an oil change given its ratings and coupons in the mail. A few months later, our engine started making horrible noises and felt like it was underpowered and "dying," for lack of a better word. We then discovered that the oil level was extremely low to the point that the dipstick was scorched. University Automotive failed to fill our oil tank all the way. We were lucky to catch it in time. The engine could have literally blown up as we were driving the car, not to mention the damage it has likely caused. Maybe our experience was unusual, but we literally could have died from their negligence. Totally unacceptable. We will be filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities.

Excellent customer service! Brought both my sons and my car to University and they did everything to get things right! University is my go to place and they treat you with respect and will pick you up and drop you off from home. Definitely can recommend!
