About us

Metric Motors was established in 1980 by Robert and Alice Burris. They moved to Palo Cedro, California, in 1973 with their son Ed. Robert worked as a technician at the Redding VW dealership until he purchased Metric Motors. Ed began working part-time at Metric Motors from the age of 16. He moved to full time auto repair service as an ASE Master Auto Technician after graduation from college.

In 2007 Robert & Alice decided to retire, and the business was handed over to Ed and his wife, Lisa. Our desire is to help you avoid automotive problems through routine maintenance. However, problems inevitably occur. When they do occur, we want to help you resolve them quickly and efficiently.
