Auto repair service
in Fair Oaks
A Short Drive Across the River From Fair Oaks
From Fair Oaks, take Sunrise Blvd south across the American River, continue past US-50 and you are at our shop on Elks Cir: about 5.9 miles and 10 minutes with light traffic.
Repairs for Every Car in the Driveway
We fix brakes, check engine light diagnostics, AC repair, cooling system service, electrical repair, suspension, alignment, transmission and oil changes. We work on all makes, from family SUVs and commuter cars to older classics and European cars. A customer recently brought in a 2008 Corvette for a clutch and torque tube rebuild, and everything works properly now.
Hills, Heat and Brakes
Parts of Fair Oaks are hilly, and long downhill stretches are hard on brakes. Squealing, grinding or a vibration in the pedal means it is time for a check. Our brake repair page explains what we look for. Summer heat is just as hard on cooling systems and AC, so a quick check before July can save you a breakdown.
Older and Classic Cars
If you keep an older or classic car, we take the time to diagnose them properly and source the right parts, and we tell you honestly when a repair is worth doing and when it can wait.
Brake Warning Signs to Watch For
- A high-pitched squeal when you brake (many pads have a built-in wear indicator).
- Grinding or scraping, which can mean the pads are worn through to metal.
- A pulsing or vibrating pedal, often from worn or uneven rotors.
- The car pulling to one side when you brake.
- A soft or sinking pedal, or the brake warning light on.
Any of these is worth a check. We measure the pads and rotors, inspect the hoses, calipers and fluid, and show you what we found before we quote the repair. Brake pads typically last 25,000 to 70,000 miles depending on driving, and hills shorten that.
Fleet and Work Vehicles
If you run a small business from Fair Oaks with vans or pickups, our fleet program includes a free inspection of every vehicle with a written report, free diagnostics, 10% off labor and one monthly invoice, so your vehicles spend less time off the road.

Customers Say.
I needed to replace the radiator in my 2016 RAM 1500 Big Horn. I went online and requested estimates from (4) local repair shops. Of the (4), two responded. Of the two, only one responded within 10 minutes with a phone call. It was MPB Auto Repair! They texted and emailed a price quote. I scheduled an appointment for the following week. The work was completed within 3 hours, as they promised! I've already referred (2) family members for Air Conditioning repairs. I highly recommend MPB Auto Repair!!!
I am very happy with MPB Auto Repair & Body Shop. They offer a free consultation and diagnosis. One of my wheel bolts came off or two and caused my car to become completely undriveable. I had to tow it in, and the team made the whole process completely headache-free. They quickly assessed the issue and were able to fix it the same day. There was only a small fee $95, and I truly felt it was excellent for the quality of service and speed of work provided. Side story, when my car broke down at the shopping center, a 2 dudes came saying they had a body shop can repair my car for $400 and stated if I bring to another place it could cost $1000 easy. So I’m super happy with this fractional charge! It’s a family-owned shop, and you can really feel the difference—everyone working there was kind, professional, and genuinely helpful. It was nice seeing the team working together so well. Even my fiancé has been coming here for consultations for a while and really trusts them. He’s not easy to impress, so that says a lot. Overall, I highly recommend them for honest, reliable, and efficient auto repair work.
Took my diesel Promaster in after having an engine and turbo lights come on and these guys diagnosed it, sourced the part and fixed it very quickly. They were very clear about what needed to be fixed and replaced the engine part very quickly in the shop. Now the van is running so much better! I would highly recommend these guys
Brought in my 2008 corvette and had the clutch and torque tube rebuilt with other little items and everything works properly now. Highly recommend them and they had great communication keeping me up to date.
Daniel and his crew did an outstanding job repairing my AC compressor, and changing my oil on my MB GLE-350. They went the extra mile to find the best compressor for my vehicle and completed the repair at a lower cost than the dealership. The work was also finished ahead of schedule, which I really appreciated. I'll be bringing my vehicles back for other service repairs and maintenance.
I've come here a few times because every single time they've done the job right and for a very reasonable price. Also they're very flexible so if something can be done later they'll say that it can be done later and they won't make you change it right away. They will also change any auto body parts which I've seen a lot of places not do. And they do so at a very reasonable rate. If you want a job done right and fairly mpb auto repair and body shop is the place to go.
Came here because my car had a radiator problem and it was leaking coolant. The guys looked at it, told me what was wrong, and fixed it the same day. Car drives good now and no more leaks. Price was normal and they didn’t try to add extra stuff. Good experience overall.
I turned to this auto repair shop on a friend’s recommendation after a car accident: the bumper, wheel rim, and suspension were damaged, and the car was not drivable. The team quickly took the car in, contacted my insurance company, and coordinated the entire repair without my involvement — which I really appreciated. The car was repaired quickly and with great quality. Thank you, guys, for your excellent service!
Absolutely amazing service! I brought my car in with an unexpected issue, and the team diagnosed and fixed it quickly and professionally. They were honest, transparent with pricing, and explained everything in a way I could understand. The shop is clean, the staff is friendly, and I felt truly taken care of. My car runs perfectly now. Highly recommend this place — it’s hard to find a shop you can trust, but this one definitely earned my trust!
Highly recommend great customer service and they did a great job on my audi
Uri and Tony provided excellent customer service. Their team was quick, efficient, and handled the repair smoothly. My 2018 Jeep Compass needed new headlight bulbs, which they ordered and replaced without any issues. I highly recommend their shop.
