AAA Sacramento Arden Auto Repair Center

I mistakenly gave them a good review same day got an oil change Saturday 5/24/25. After driving home wheel alignment not fixed even the the customer rep who helped me claimed they found nothing wrong w my alignment and that my front tire pressure just was low. Didn't go over what they did to my car and I wondered why the oil change was done so fast. It's AAA , I trusted they hire reputable mechanics. The guy seemed nice, but I did get a vibe that he just wanted to get me out quick. Now this morning the malfunction indicator light warning comes on. I will never take my car here again. Waste of money and I can't afford to pay another mechanic for the mishaps AAA repair mechanic …

Came here for the first time but will not be returning. I needed an oil change and an overall check of my car since I would be going on a roadtrip. Oil change on its own was a little pricy but needed to get done. They called me a few hours later to let me know they found additional things that needed replacement (serpentine belt, rear shocks and rear wiper blade). I saw pictures they sent of the belt and decided to proceed with the work as well as the wiper blade. He didn’t go into detail about the itemized price of each item. I pickup my car and I pay, he hands me the paperwork, not going over anything and I decide to review it once I’m in my car. Everything seemed ok until I get to the wi…

This is long story short: I came in to get headlight bulbs replaced. They quoted $124, then doubled it mid way thru saying the wiring needed reinforcing. Then called back a third time to state the passenger side headlight was not working and it would be another $672 to diagnose it! I asked why so much, they made up some excuse about a “European car charge”! Really? I ended up taking it to my Volvo guys at SVS Volvo and they stated that two parts needed replacing. I am suspecting AAA dude messed it up! I won’t go there ever again and you shouldn’t either!!

Started out good. Nice service in the office. They offered a Lyft because I had to leave my car for awhile. I had an oil change, tire rotation, windshield wiper change, and diagnostic on my a/c. They called to give me an "update" on my car. Said they found the problem with my a/c and fixed it and would be an additional charge of @ $30. The cost was fine but they did it before I said ok. My car was ready. I picked it up and checked the a/c to make sure it was working. All good. Drove out and noticed the leaves I arrived with still under the windshield wipers. I pulled over and the blades were filthy. I returned to the store and they said they changed them and showed me the old one…

Had a coolant leak. Took to a repair shop near me. They changed two parts but still leaking. I was then informed I needed a new water pump. Before I paid for another repair, I wanted a second opinion. I have been a member with AAA for over 40 years, so I decided to have my car towed to a AAA Repair Shop. AAA informed me the problem was with one of the parts that the first shop replaced. I went back to the first shop without the car and they called AAA to discuss the issue. After speaking with AAA, the mechanic at the first shop informed me he did not believe they did a pressure test but probably just looked at it. I called AAA Repair Shop myself and found out that indeed they just lo…
