Tedious Auto Repair Chico

My car was overheating and this shop had been highly recommended to me via some farmers in orland, so I knew it was gonna be ok. They replaced a radiator and the breaks of my car and did it before the week was out. Tedious turned not so tedious. Excellent service and excellent communication.
