Recently, we helped a customer with a 2004 Lexus IS300 that was having key-related issues.

The customer expected the repair might turn into an expensive situation, but after properly diagnosing the problem, we were able to provide and program a new key without unnecessary repairs or costs, getting the vehicle back on the road quickly.

In the automotive repair industry, fixing a car is only part of the job. The more important part is putting ourselves in the customer's shoes.

At KUMA Automotive, we believe in:

✅ Recommending only the repairs that are truly needed
✅ Never upselling unnecessary services
✅ Helping customers avoid unnecessary expenses
✅ Repairing components whenever practical instead of replacing expensive assemblies
✅ Treating every vehicle as if it were our own

Many customers choose us not because we're the cheapest shop in town, but because they know we'll do our best to save them money while still fixing the problem correctly.

Thank you to every customer who trusts KUMA Automotive with their vehicles. Your trust is what motivates us to continue providing honest, dependable service every day.

Reviews like this remind us why we do what we do. We're grateful for every customer who gives us the opportunity to earn their trust, and we'll continue doing our best to take care of the people who trust us with their vehicles.

✅ Another Mercedes Sprinter Back on the Road!

This 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter came to us with a Check Engine Light.

After a complete diagnostic inspection, we found:
✔️ Low DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) level
✔️ Intake system air leak triggering fault codes

Our technicians performed:
🔧 Diagnostic inspection
🔧 Repaired the intake air leak
🔧 Cleared fault codes and verified the repair
🔧 Full synthetic oil & filter service
🔧 Cabin air filter replacement
🔧 Genuine Mercedes brake fluid flush
🔧 DEF refill
🔧 New front wiper blades

After a thorough road test, the Check Engine Light is off and the vehicle is operating normally.

At Kuma Automotive, we believe in fixing the root cause—not just clearing the codes. Whether it's routine maintenance, factory-scheduled service, or advanced diagnostics, we're committed to quality workmanship and honest service.

⚠️ You Never Know How Worn Your Brakes Are Until They're Removed ⚠️

These brake pads came off a 2012 Honda Civic that came into our shop recently.

From the outside, many drivers don't realize how little brake material is actually left. In this case, the pads were worn down to the point where continued driving could have resulted in metal-to-metal contact, damaging the brake rotors and significantly reducing braking performance.

Ignoring worn brake pads can lead to:

🚨 Longer stopping distances
🚨 Grinding noises while braking
🚨 Damaged brake rotors
🚨 Increased repair costs
🚨 Reduced driving safety

Don't wait until you hear grinding noises. A simple brake inspection can help catch problems early and save you money.

Need your brakes checked? Give us a call today.

🚗 The workday was supposed to be over today…

But right after closing time, two vehicles arrived on tow trucks, needing inspection and repair.

In the auto repair industry, breakdowns don’t follow business hours.
Once the tow trucks arrive, we know—today isn’t really over yet.

That’s why we are especially grateful for the continued trust and support from the Redding community for Kuma Automotive.

Whether it’s a scheduled appointment or a vehicle delivered by tow truck, we always do our best to take care of it as soon as possible.
Because behind every vehicle is someone’s work, life, and safety.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who chooses our local family-owned auto repair shop.
We will continue to return every vehicle to the road with professionalism, honesty, and fair pricing.
