Welcome to C & A Automotive Repair
We're a family-owned and operated shop right here in Gold River, California, and we take that word "family" seriously. When you bring your car to us, we treat it the way we'd treat our own — and we treat you the way we'd want to be treated if the roles were reversed. Our tagline says it plainly: trusted care for every car, whether it's new to you or not.
Carlos and the rest of the team believe good auto repair starts with honesty. That means before we so much as lift the hood, we talk with you about what your vehicle needs, what it's going to cost, and what can safely wait. No surprises, no pressure, no mystery charges at the end. If something needs explaining, we'll walk you through it in plain English until it makes sense.
What We Do
We work on all makes and models, and over the years we've built our reputation around a few things we do especially well — brake systems, transmission service, full computer diagnostics, and air conditioning repair. Of course, that's only part of the picture. We also handle oil changes, tune-ups, suspension and steering, factory scheduled maintenance, tires, batteries, electrical work, exhaust, engine service, and hybrid vehicles too.
Whatever brought you in, you'll leave knowing exactly what was done and why.
Why Customers Trust Us
A lot of people come to us a little wary — maybe they've been burned by a shop before. We get it, and we've built the way we work around earning that trust back:
- We explain it before we touch it. You'll know what we found, what it costs, and what's urgent versus what can hold off.
- We keep you in the loop. With digital inspection reports and real-time updates, you can see the work and the reasons behind it, documented clearly.
- We make repairs accessible. We offer in-house financing with no credit requirements and different discount options, so a necessary fix doesn't have to wait.
- We fit your schedule. Walk-ins are welcome, same-day service is available when we can manage it, and we offer a complimentary shuttle, free WiFi in the waiting area, and flexible after-hours drop-off and pickup.
Proud to Serve Gold River
Gold River is home for us, and serving our neighbors here — along with folks from nearby Rancho Cordova — is what this shop is all about. We're not a chain and we're not interested in being one. We're the people you'll see around town, and we want you driving away confident in your car and confident in the people who worked on it.
Give us a call at (916) 461-8372, stop by, or drop your keys after hours. We'd be glad to take care of you.
