I can’t say enough positive words about Dan, David, and everyone at Chico Car Care! They just serviced and repaired my Lexus and it feels like it is brand new! They are honest and fair and always go the extra step to help. Why? Because that is the way they are. I have taken my car to Dan for many years now and you…

I have been going to Chico Care Care for many many years. They have kept my 2007 4 runner in tip top shape. I recommend them to everyone I can. Dan and his team are knowledgeable, effective, and very honest.

I have been taking my car to Chico Car Care for years and years, and will continue to. Their prices are extremely fair. The folks there are so courteous and competent, and they never talk down to me because I'm a woman. Great place!

The owner is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and personable. I never worry that I am being up-saled or talked into something I don’t need. He has worked to get me a used part to replace on my Prius which saved me a lot of money. His expertise of the Prius is reassuring.
