I had an issue with a tire. He took my car back and in minutes he pulled out a screw. After checking it out it was fine. It wasn't deep enough and they did not charge me anything. All good

Never went here before and needed an alignment done. They fit me in that morning and were very quick. They even gave me a spec sheet outlining what needed adjustment. Priced fairly. Would highly recommend. Thank you Clay's!

Have been coming here for years. Great service replaced two engines on two different cars. They are busy so it may take a few days to get an appt for routine maintenance.

A family business, brothers, and cousin and they are experts at what they do and honest. These type of places seem to be disappearing in the USA and I'm happy to find these guys. Had all types of work done on vehicles ranging from toyota's to old Jeeps.

I brought my car to Clay's Automotive Service Center told them about my car. I was thinking I had a head gasket problem but after I talked to a very nice guy behind the counter he told me he can check with a machine that will let him know if that was the problem I also told him about the smoke out of the tailpipe that comes out every now and then.

After about three days they found the problem I had a bad map sensor and my PVC value needed to be replaced. This made me very happy because a head gasket job is a lot of money. But by them taking there time to figure out my car's problem and keeping me informed on what my car needed. I now have no more smoke out of the tailpipe thanks Clay's Automotive Service Center. Very clean shop nice people who care about there customers.

They can do nice work, but last time they over-tightened all my wheel lugs, snapped one off and charged me $50 for replacing it. They were all 40 pounds over (120 ft-lbs) when I checked them at home.

I went to Clay's in Folsom for a few years. They're not cheap, but they have a clean full-service shop, they are always very busy, and they can do the job. I've even seen police cars getting work done there, so you know they must be pretty good. Last time I had my car inspected I was surprised to notice a $50 charge for replacing a wheel lug that they broke.

They were too busy to call and mention it. Mary explained that these things "just happen sometimes." Back home I took out my torque wrench and found that each wheel was still seriously over-tightened by 40 ft-lbs. Besides the initial $50, which they should have covered themselves, the alloy wheels may have been compromised and could eventually break apart on the road.

Everyone makes mistakes, right? Recently I called a couple of times to see if I could get a straight answer on an intermittent problem, but the mechanics were too busy to personally call back.

In October 2012 the a/c on my 2003 Ford Crown Vic. stopped getting cold. I stopped by Clay's. They supposedly added dye, Freon and checked the A/C system for leaks. They said they thought there was a leak under the dash.grand total for this visit $157.00. The A/C still wasn't getting cold when I left but they said drive it for a while then come back and they could see where it was leaking.

I went to a different mechanic who is honest. He told me all three fill valves (shrader valves) on my A/C system had been opened and there was no Freon in it. He closed the valves and filled my A/C with Freon and it works great (about $65). While I can't prove it I believe Clay's opened the valves and charged me for doing nothing in anticipation of me coming back an paying them a fortune to "fix" my A/C.
