My main man Tom is the best. I'm a traveling roadie that came all the way from ny working various events. I was stuck in Folsom with my jeep grand cherokee reading hot and I would've missed multiple jobs and lost so much. I called various shops and they were all busy. I even offered extra but the only person who assisted and got me back in the road to whereas I didn't even miss work that night was good Ole Terrific Tom. What i love even more about the guy is his genuine ability to accomplish a purpose which is greater than the value of a dollar. To Tom: I've never in my life written a Google review for good or bad but you my friend deserves it

I had a great experience with Bidwell Automotive and will definitely be back. They gave me an honest, transparent quote and, most importantly, didn’t try to sell me services I didn’t need. Tom was incredibly friendly, responsive, and took the time to answer my questions without any pressure. When you’re new to an area, it’s not easy to find a mechanic you can trust, but I feel like I found one here. I’m extremely happy with the service and the friendly staff. I highly recommend Bidwell Automotive if you’re looking for honest, reliable auto care.
