Angelo’s Classic Import Service

My VW was starting to make noises and the engine light came on. I panicked because there is no longer a service center in redding and I was thinking the worse. Angelos got me in first thing in the morning and my car was diagnosed and fixed within a few hours. These guys were honest in the issues and how it was only a small problem. They saved me so much stress. If your looking for a honest and knowledgeable place to take your vehicle this is the place.

Very happy with Angelo’s! My son’s BMW stuck a rock over the pass (pouring rain at night) coming home to the bay area from Oregon and gashed the oil pan wide open losing all oil, and stranding him for a night in Redding. Angelo’s took great care of the car, treated it cautiously, and fixed only what needed fixing.
I feared we were talking several thousand dollars of repairs (or more) especially at the mercy of an out of town shop trying to manage the situation from the bay area. Angelo and Sherie (sp?) were extremely accommodating and helpful. Repairs done within a day (of parts arriving) at around $ 1,600 all in. Huge sigh of relief. Highly recommend!

DONT GO HERE! i took my Mercedes E55 AMG here for a slight shifting problem. i heard this was the place to take mercedes. I drove it in and $ 900 later i had to have it towed out… i picked it up, paid, and drove 3 blocks when the tranny completely blew out! i limped it back and i was met with «what did you do»?!
they said it wasn’t their problem and they did their job. keep in mind, i drove it in just fine. they were rude and dismissive. just plain ignored me. i tried talking to someone for about an hour and was met with an attitude of «what are you still doing here»
SCAM ARTISTS, DO NOT GO HERE!
i found a great shop across town and am now back on the road. they have heard of similar stories from here and felt my pain… i wish i could give them negative stars. i am in talks with BBB and a lawyer to clear this matter up

So I’m new in this town and I haven’t been to this place, so I can’t comment on the other positive reviews listed. But I called these guys to see if they would take a walk-​in oil change. He said they usually do if they have the time but they usually go by appointment. So I mentioned I wanted to get an oil change after work to reference that I’d be open to making one. He said they don’t carry the parts for the oil change.
I told them I could bring the filter and oil by with me. The reply was «actually we don’t put customers parts on cars, sorry». That makes absolutely no sense in this scenario. It is an oil change, not clutch replacement.
So an oil change is very simple and everyone knows this. An oil filter would be the only part involved. An oil filter is a temporary part that you simply just screw on.
I just got this car and I’d kinda like to find a place to take it to have work done on it in the future. I guess Angelo doesn’t need my business. This is bad networking.

My husband had to take his associates back to SFO on Sunday, June 2^nd. Just before SFO, our BMW broke down. My husband called a taxi to take his associates to SFO, and then called our car insurance company to tow our car to the nearest BMW dealer, which ended up being on Howard St., San Francisco.
After this wonderful occasion, my husband took a taxi to SFO to rent a vehicle to return back to Redding the same day.
Monday morning we had a call from the BMW dealer in SF with a list of numerous repairs. The quote ended up being well over $ 3,500. As you can imagine, we were astonished and immediately borrowed a truck and a trailer to tow our car from SF to Angelo’s.
After Angelo inspected and analyzed our car, he called my husband and spent time on the phone explaining the quote. Most of Angelo’s conversation was… «It would be nice if you replaced this, but it doesn’t need it yet» and in summary… our quote ended up being under $ 600 vs over $ 3,500.
Angelo is a very patient, kind trustworthy and honest person. We highly recommend Angelo. May God Bless Angelo, his family and company, and multiply their needs always.

My Volvo was in dire need of help. We made the decision to try to breath new life into it. Angelo and his team worked magic and brought this old car back to life. It drives like it was brand new. Appreciate Angelo, Chris and all the guys down there so much. Just saved me from having to buy a new car. Love you guys!

I am always happy with my service at Classic Import Service but this time they went above and beyond. My husband and I were out of town but my mother in law ended up needing our car (that was at Angelo’s). Not only did they finish it up quickly so that she could come get it, but they transferred my daughter’s car seat for her, and allowed me to promise payment when I returned to town. I am always extremely happy with the service at Angelo’s but I love that they go above and beyond for their customers and that they always remember me!

We have moved out of the area, but while living in Redding Angelo serviced our cars for years. You won’t find a more honest guy, nothing but praise for Angelo and his crew, you will be in safe hands. In comparison, my son drove a Grand Jeep Cherokee which we didn’t bother Angelo with, we went to a different mechanic on Hartnell, who ALWAYS padded the bill and found ten additional things «Wrong» with the car. Angelo never does this, if he does find additional things, he always has proof to show you.
