On May 29, 2026 I had my car towed to Rick’s Automotive as requested by AAA representative. I got there at the cusp of closing and Rick was so very accommodating to me, as I was in total need of having my vehicle serviced, My car wouldn’t start up anymore, My STARTER had gone completely out. Rick was so awesome in calming me by letting me know he’d assess and would be in touch. Rick and his staff were professional, thorough and efficient, they guided me through the process step by step with what needed to be done and what to expect. I also found the pricing to be very good and most importantly quite fair. My experience at Rick’s Automotive was AWESOME! I will totally be back to have any and all other work done. I’m so pleased to say that I’ve found my new auto service shop that will help with all my auto needs.🤗

Great service and great communication. This location sends you a link with pictures and a description of what's wrong or recommended. You can approve which ever fixes you want. And when thats done, you get another link to pay before you even pick up your vehicle. I would highly recommend this place.

Rick’s Automotive Service, Inc. has been my go-to shop for my 2008 Lexus RX 400h Hybrid, and every experience has been solid from start to finish. Rick and his team are always clear, concise, and professional. They streamline the process, communicate well, and never make you feel pressured or dragged through unnecessary back-and-forth. They pay attention to detail, explain things in a way that makes sense, and most importantly — they get the job done right. Whether it’s routine maintenance, unexpected repairs, or a major issue that needs immediate attention, they handle it with confidence and professionalism. The environment is relaxed, honest, and trustworthy — something that’s hard to find these days in automotive repair. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their work and their customers. If you’re looking for a dependable mechanic shop that knows what they’re doing and treats people right, I highly recommend Rick’s Automotive Service, Inc.
