Tedious Auto Repair is 8 minutes from the Barber neighborhood. CA-32 is your direct connector to our shop at 2695 CA-32. Open 7 days, 7:00 AM Monday through Friday.
The Barber neighborhood sits in east Chico near the foothills — one of the closer residential areas to our shop at 2695 CA-32. 8 minutes on CA-32. Many Barber residents drop off on their way to work or school.
Barber's position near the Chico foothills means residents often use unpaved or transitional roads for access to recreation areas and upper neighborhoods. Unpaved road access accelerates alignment, suspension, and differential wear. We recommend annual alignment checks and differential fluid service every 30,000 miles for Barber residents who regularly use foothill access roads.
CA-32 connects directly from the Barber area to our shop — 8 minutes without needing the freeway. Natural drop-off point for morning commuters heading toward downtown Chico or CSU Chico from the east side.
Barber has a mix of established Chico residents with longer-term vehicles and newer arrivals with current models. We service all makes from high-mileage Honda and Toyota (timing belt, head gasket inspection) to newer European vehicles (OEM fluids, carbon cleaning, DSG service).
