Great shop and they actually listen to the customer, I would go back. Heard the inspection report and went over what I would like done. Explained this was for my son at college and needed someone to trust and that I have worked in an automotive shop before moving out of a bay and into a different department. When he came home to visit I pulled a spark plug, checked the part number, spark plug gap and torqued back down. Ran a scope around the valve cover gasket and knock sensor install, everything look good. No gasket out of place or greasy fingerprints. They treated my son great who does not know a lot on vehicle repairs and did not make him feel overwhelmed Five stars for sure

Brought in my car to get it fixed after a minor accident. The entire time they were open and communicative, and were very honest about cost throughout the entire process. Now that I’ve got my car back, it’s running better than it was before the accident!

These guys were awesome. Communication every step of the way up until my transmission service was complete. Finished early on a Friday. I had a horrible experience with my dealerships service department and ended up taking my car here. So glad I did. They even inspected my whole vehicle. I found out I need a few services I didn’t know I needed. 5 stars all the way!! I will be back

We had a great experience with Tedious Auto Repair. They addressed our repair issues quickly. Everyone there was highly qualified and even lent us a loaner car at no extra charge. We definitely recommend them and we will make them our first choice for our automotive needs.

They did a great job! Got my vehicle in right away and had it done same day. Really easy to work with over the phone/text. I will definitely be using them in the future and recommending them.

Wouldn't take my car anywhere else. The folks that greet you when you come in are knowledgeable and always friendly. I appreciate the detailed print-out with pictures documenting everything they found. If your car needs more work, they list things in order of importance in case you need to make further repairs over time.. I've only had good experiences here.

Great service. They keep you updated on what they are doing during the whole process of what ever you are having done. They document throughly when they are done with the tech doing write ups and pictures. Highly recommend.

Tedious Repairs has been my go-to spot for a little over a year. I appreciate how transparent and super communicative they are about the repairs needed vs just recommended and the price is always what they say it is! They’re also really good about answering all my questions I always seem to come up with. Thanks so much you guys!!

Super awesome place! Very comfy inside if you need to sit and wait, very friendly staff and owner who made friendly small talk, and AWESOME fish tank inside! I love how they take photos during the inspection and allow me to see all of it and their findings. I went in for an oil change, which they did fairly quickly at a great price, and then also gave me a rundown of other issues they found that could need my attention and a price estimate for each one. Very helpful. I love this place and plan to come back in the future! Highly recommend going here if you need your car serviced.

I have been going here for a few years after my boyfriend had a repair done and have always felt confident and comfortable with the service! They were SO accommodating with working around my work schedule recently and made an after hours drop off and pick up so smooth. Their communication is so great and they were able to answer my many questions. They always have clear estimates and even go beyond the specific service to make sure you and your car are good to go. I always recommend this business to everyone I know due to the excellent service and communication!

This place lies!! Went in to get my exhaust checked for leaks because I have been having non stop headaches when driving and they said all was good no leaks but then proceeded to point out every problem possible with my car. Transmission pan leak, break fluid, failing axel etc. A few weeks go by and I decide to get a smoke machine and do it myself and boom I saw smoke going through two holes as soon as I hooked it up. I think I could have saw it from a mile away. A waste of a 200$ diagnosis, what a joke! If you’re thinking about going to this place, go somewhere else where honesty will be given. Brought it in a second time since they said there were “no exhaust leaks”, to see if there were any gas leaks as that was a common cause for headaches when operating a vehicle. They supposedly found nothing and told me that I would need to leave my Camaro there for them to take it and drive it to get lunch or take it on a cruise in order to find any smells of gas. Basically telling me they were gonna joy ride my car for a few weeks to try and smell gas, funny.

Tedious is absolutely the best mechanics I have ever worked with. Great work and fair prices. If you want a mechanic that cares and works hard to fix your vehicle you have found them.

I was having wiring issues with my 2002 Pontic Firebird. I searched for top mechanics in Chico and Tedius Repairs stuck out to me with the amazing reviews about working on classics. Scheduling was super easy and everyone was friendly. He got me in right before the Christmas which is a busy time of year. When I tell you THE BEST service hands downs in Chico! Ive gotten work done at other shops in town and they never were thorough when I got my car back. Tedious by far is one of the best! Not only were they super thorough it was all so easy and over text! They send you a whole inspection of your car and you can choose what you need done. Really only took a few hours! And when I payed the invoice showed me literally everything needing to be fixed! I thought that was so amazing they took the time to do that! My forever place! Thanks for fixing Darkness! Y’all fiiiire!!🙌🏾🫶

Me, the Dad, selected Tedious Repairs based on the 4.9 Goggle rating. I sent my daughter in law and son to them with a transmission issue on a 2017 Ford Focus. She had already read the error code from the car. Smart girl. Tedious Repairs charged her $185 diagnosis the car and got the same code she did. They then wanted to sell them a new transmission for $8K. Plus additional $1700 for installation and removal and other shop supplies. What??? My daughter-in-law then rechecked the error code again with the same code reader she bought from Walmart. The code stated the transmission clutch actuator “motor B” was stuck. A Google search recommended swapping “motor B “ with its twin “Motor A”. We did this and what to you know… that issue disappeared. Ran a error code check again and now it showed motor A was stuck. Motor B went to Motor A location and vice versa. That told us the motor B was defective. I ordered two new OEM motors from Ford costing $235 delivered. She and I changed both A & B motors in the driveway with some hand tools since the car has 119K miles. Wow… transmission repaired. Goggle and YouTube and some common sense saved them $10K. Tedious Repairs…. You should be ashamed Of yourselves for what you did. You owe them for the cost of the diagnois for lying to them. This is only a concerned “Dad’s” opinion.

Been taking my car here for 20 years. They’re always transparent about costs and what needs priority in fixing. Friendly & easy to talk to. Clean waiting area with refreshments and filtered water. Even has little treats for the kiddos to keep them busy while we waited for our Uber to pick us up.
