Hawthorne and Lawndale Auto Repair

AWESOME TEAM

Great customer service !!! Good communication, they keep you updated on EVERYTHING!! And they have great rates !! Do not over charge and have warranties on most things.

Excellent customer service, they work with me over the phone to iron out details to keep my vehicle in the best shape!

Great guys working here. Very professional and upfront. On time, accommodating, clean and trustworthy. They provided an extensive inspection report with photos. I felt good that they cared about my vehicle and stood behind their work. And they knew what they were doing. Would highly recommend.

Personable, honest service. As a person who does all of their own work on my vehicles, I am very particular about who I bring my car into when I do need to take it to a shop. I brought it in for A/C service and it was quickly vacuum and leaked checked and serviced within 3 hours of drop off. After getting the runaround at another shop, Rick assured me that if there was any issues, bring the car back and he would take care of it. I can tell you that their prices are extremely fair. Their shop is clean and all the mechanics were very nice to talk to. I was so impressed with the level of service that I actually signed up for a yelp account and this is my first review. Thank you guys for being a good honest business that truly care about your customers. I would recommend you to everyone.

I might be on a budget, but I don't skimp on maintaining my vehicle; I trust Rick's Auto to keep it in good condition.

I called AAA for a tow and they recommended this shop! Honest and Professional staff.

I took my car in for a simple oil change, and staff did a full diagnostic assessment on my car for free! They even gave me quotes, and gave me a report on my entire car, with recommendations for fixes and my car needed ranked from least to most urgent. Very professional. I would recommend this place to anyone needing car maintenance and just an honest assessment of what's going on with their car. I don't know anything about cars, but they educated me on what I needed to know, and we're very patient.

1 photo Rick and Jack facilitated an engine rebuild in my 1962 Thunderbird; ironically, they shopped the rebuild itself to the shop down the street which rebuilt the engine in my other classic Bird, so that was in good hands. Except for a couple o' minor details, the boys did an outstanding job; my engine runs as good as it looks and that is excellent. Comment from Rick S. of Rick's Automotive Service Business Owner 4/28/2020We're sorry to hear that your go-to shop has closed down, sir. Thanks for taking the time to pay us a visit and sharing your confidence here on Yelp. We welcome fugitives from other shops, anytime. Hopefully, you can find a new home with us. Thanks again! Read more Yep, as I hoped, they completed my car within the day: repair both rear axles, diff fluid change, brake fluid bleed, replaced both rear brake cylinders. I watched part of the process, and noted that the technician is fastidious about putting things were they belong and tracking removed parts. Those are all signs of good work habits. So, tip o' the hat; jobs well done. Read more Well, I am a fugitive from Loyola Automotive in Westchester, which, after 60 years in business, suddenly closed last month. I shopped around the Westside at other shops, but no one was really too interested in my two 1962 Ford Thunderbirds. Only one of those shops looked really "attractive" (to me, a fussy, long time auto enthusiast). So I got talked into visiting Rick's, without much expectation. I was quite surprised at the facility: plenty of racks, plenty of the right equipment, plenty of room, and plenty clean and organized! I was shocked...and heartened after a lengthy discussion with one technician, Michael, who himself owns several vintage cars and motorcycles. I haven't yet taken a car there, but, with years and years of critical observation under my belt, I am very confident of some good experiences there. I will follow up, as my Bird goes in tomorrow for rear axle work, but I have to say, the place feels right. Read more
