Garden Highway Auto Clinic

I highly recommend this place! I have been taking my vehicles here for about 10 – 15 years and so has all of my family members. Mark has always been very honest and trustworthy! He is the only mechanic I completely trust as he always tells me exactly how it is without adding in any unnecessary extras. I also have him check over my vehicle after work is completed by another shop directed to by the insurance and he has always made time in his schedule for me. The front office staff are always friendly and helpful as well! This is truly the best place and I will continue to take any vehicle I own here!

My modern quest for the holy grail has been a 20 year search for a trustworthy and competent auto mechanic/​technician. I found Mark here at the Garden Highway Auto Clinic just when my faith began to waiver.
First I called for a quote and mentioned the major work that I expected would be necessary to get my Honda’s AC functioning. He took a couple hours and got back to me with a reasonable estimate for the work. Then he mentioned that, based upon his experience, the problem may not be as severe as I feared.
I then went off on vacation and took care of a few other things before the better half prodded me into following through with the repair. Basically 3 weeks after my brief phone conversations with Mark, he remembered every detail about the quotes he gave me and the problem I had. He fixed my AC in a single day and it’s been running smooth for over 2 months now. Can’t recommend the Garden Highway Auto Clinic strongly enough.

It’s all about customer service! Great staff, friendly and welcoming. My Truck was towed in weds evening, my truck was ready for pickup Thursday afternoon.

They are so friendly and respectful. They even understand what you need done. I would really recommend this place to anyone in the area. Thanks guys on working on my car. You not just get 5 stars from me but also 5 thumbs UP!!!

This is the auto mechanic you can trust. Mark fixes what needs to be fixed and doesn’t try to upwell the job. His mechanics do excellent work, and Mark has kept our old vehicles running at a reasonable cost. I’ve done business with him for several years now, and only relocating out of the Yuba City area is preventing me from going back for future maintenance. And as a woman, I appreciate his factual explanations of what’s going on with my car. I hope I find an auto repair shop in my new town that is as good as this one.

Hands down, the most hardworking honest shop I have ever been to. I just moved here and I heard of Garden Highway Auto Clinic because my, now, husband takes his truck here. I cannot even begin to explain the trust I have in this business, they take care of your car like it’s their own. My husbands mind is at ease when I take our vehicles in because he knows Garden Highway Auto Clinic will NOT take advantage of anyone who doesn’t know much about cars. Everyone who works here is great and Mark (the owner) does his best to help you no matter what. He is understanding and takes the time to listen to his customers. Mark and his business make sure that you understand what is going with your vehicle and find you the best prices. I highly recommend Garden Highway Auto Clinic for all!

I found this repair location on Unilocal.My AC was not working and Mark squeezed me into his shop that same day. Not only is my AC working properly, it feels like a freezer. I can’t begin to say how great this place is and if you need any repairs. This is a shop you can go to and not go broke. Plus it will be fixed and fixed correctly. This is a trust worthy place to go. All of my repairs will be taken here in the future! Thanks the Acura is doing awesome!

I have been taking my vehicles to Garden Highway Auto Clinic for several years now. My experience is always the same, outstanding. When you arrive, the staff is always friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The maintenance and repairs are completed quickly and correctly. You have to trust your mechanic and this business has earned mine. The pricing is fair and reasonable. Local tow truck drivers recommend this place, which says a lot. You won’t be disappointed.

Took my 2008 Dodge Ram in for a tuneup and smog check. These guys got it done in record time and my truck runs perfect. Great friendly atmosphere and these guys work hard to satisfy their customers.
Thanks! And I’ll be back for you to hunt down that rattle I hear in my front end.
Update Feb 2015. I ended up taking my truck into them for the rattle in my front end. Turned out to be a loose clip on my rotor disc. He fixed her right up and sent me down the road feeling much better that it wasn’t something more detrimental.
Thanks to the honesty and quick turnaround, I’m back in business!

Mark and his son have an unusual amount of integrity for the type of business they are in. Being a female and needing your car repaired can make woman feel vulnerable but here, you’re in good hands. They evaluate the problem and then give you a quote that is most often competitive or better than other auto repair places. I felt especially grateful that they repaired my car so quickly (ordering parts too). I am glad to see that a truly honest, kind man is doing so well.

stopped in for a diagnosis took awhile because they were busy but I found the three folks I worked with including the owner to be great and the facility is clean and nice my quote seemed high but I’d consider them for work in the future

I live 5 hours away in the Central Valley in California and my son is going to school in Chico and lives in the Yuba City area. He called me because the engine on his 2002 Chevy truck just turned off while he was driving down the freeway. I called AAA and they came out and determined that he had plenty of fuel and the battery was good so we had it towed to a mechanic shop but not without doing a little bit of research on Unilocal first.
During my research I came across Garden Highway Auto Clinic and the reviews he was getting were practically all outstanding so it seems like a good choice. I phoned ahead and spoke with Mark and he was more than accomading by taking my son in on short notice.
Mark diagnosed the problem with the truck and determined the culprit was an electronic module. All I can say Mark is outstanding!!! Him and his staff do great work at a reasonable price.
Outstanding service! I highly recommend them.

Truly the best. Integrity with great service, Mark and the guys have always treated my family right. From my parents vehicles to the motor in my truck, I only trust Garden Hwy

Mark was awesome, honest and reliable. He got the job done for a great price. Highly recommend this place!

I was referred to Mark by name, reputation and business name by 7 to 7 Smog, a competitor for smog checks! You’ll see my review for 7 to 7 as an excellent, honest, smog check station I’ve used since 2004. I called, was told to bring the car in on a Friday afternoon, (even though he hadn’t promised to look at it until Sat) and Mark called me himself later that evening. He was apologetic because he’d meant to call me earlier, (I was good with it because I did not expect a call until Sat or even Tuesday with President’s Day on Monday). So Mark over-​delivered! He confirmed the code 7 to 7 Smog diagnosed: bad catalytic converter, yikes. He called me with a quote today for the dealer part and an after-​market he’d found. You can guess the dealer cost; his quote was closer to my reality, however I’d found one online, (no small task with CA emissions standards causing hundreds of CC’s to be «49 states» ONLY, (No CA/​NY) that was still about $ 200 less than his quote installed, so ultimately $ 100 cheaper with installation. I will be taking the car to The Muffler Shop to be installed, ($ 80 — $ 100) then returning for a tune up and smog check. I will edit my review after all of this is done with an update that I expect will take my review to 5 stars and earn my return business! Thanks Mark

Glad to see Mark getting so many great reviews. I moved here a few years ago and had to reestablish all my «go to» places. I’ve taken our cars here for many things and Mark is always courteous and helpful. Never over charges and is timely. I think it’s a great local business to support and I recommend them all the time.

Fast service. Friendly owner and staff. Very affordable. Has often charged me less than the quote, which was already cheaper than most mechanics I area. As a woman I don’t feel like I’m getting screwed over, which is very important.

Dropped off my 97 civic Monday night for some work. Clutch, timing belt, water pump and new front axels and motor mount. They also found an A/​C bearing that was faulty and my power steering pulley was wobbly. All work was completed in under 36 hours and I picked up my car wed morning. Fantastic service. It’s been 2 weeks and the 16 year old car is running like new again. Great service and they stayed within my budget.
Highly recommend.

Right from the git-​go, these guys were a great help. They didn’t put me off or ask me to make an appt. They took my rickety old car and gave it the «queen’s» treatment. They are always helpful with my questions and ready to explain anything. Very Very professional. They stick to their estimates. Someone else here said they have «amazing honest service». That says a lot when it comes to getting your car fixed or serviced!

They treated my 83 year old mom very well and didn’t make her wait long for service on her tire. She was also impressed and will return if necessary.
My only criticism is I wish they let me make an appointment for Saturday (I called ahead 4 days) so I didn’t have to send my mom on her own, since I am out of the area. I’m not sure why they said no but it worked out alright anyway.
