🕶️ Same Great Team Since the 80s… Just With Fewer Mullets

Some things change with time. Cars get smarter, computers get smaller, and apparently haircuts get better. 😂

But one thing hasn’t changed — our commitment to taking care of our customers.

Since the 1980s, Polar Bear Auto Care has been helping Sacramento drivers keep their vehicles safe, reliable, and on the road. From routine maintenance to major repairs, diagnostics, A/C, brakes, engine work, and everything in between, we’re your #1 stop for all things automotive. 🔧🚗

We're proud to be a family-owned shop, and after decades in the business, we know that honest advice, quality repairs, and treating people right never go out of style.

So whether your car is making a weird noise, your A/C decided to retire in Sacramento summer, or you just want to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road — come see the team that's been keeping Sacramento moving for decades.

Buick … we need to talk. 😂
Whose bright idea was it to design the Buick where the doors have to come off to replace the front evaporator?! 🤦‍♂️

Because nothing says “simple A/C repair” like:
🔧 Remove the dash
🔧 Remove half the interior
🔧 Remove the doors
🔧 Question every life decision that led you here 😂

Dear Buick engineers: we just want cold air. 🥶😂

Another day another dash job.

Customer came in for a suspected leak in the evaporator core and our H10 alerted to a medium sized leak from the vents and drain tube indicating an evaporator leak.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

We were able to save this customer about $2000 as the quotes from other shops were excessively high.

This is yet another reason why here at Polar Bear we care for our customers and will do our best job on every job.

If you're having A/C, mechanical issues or just general maintenance, choose the pros at Polar Bear Auto Care.

Evaporator job on 2009 Toyota Prius. Not for the faint of heart!

What separates us from most other shops is we have the technical skills to complete big jobs like this and do so at a cheaper rate than the dealerships!

If you an A/C problem do not settle for other shops or another annual evacuation and recharge! A/C systems are complex systems and we've been diagnosing them since 1986!

if its low on refrigerant theres an underlying cause. We are confident we will accurately identify and fix your issue the first time so you and your family can remain cold for the hot days ahead.

Vehicle came in, recently has remanufactured motor installed, with a misfire on cylinder #7 but no active codes. During our diagnostic we were able to borescope the cylinder and found the presence of coolant in cylinder 7, appears newly reman engine head gasket has failed (less than 1k miles).

Now we're working with the warranty company to cover costs on behalf of our customer, just another way we try to set the standard when it comes all Automotive needs. From general maintenance to heavy duty mechanical failures we've got you covered!
