Hawthorne and Lawndale Auto Repair

Good service and knowledgeable staff!

I appreciate the customer service very friendly reasonable price Quick Service

Elite '2020 Elite '2020 4 check-ins I had a check engine light come on my car and I thought it was a transmission light. I drove around Hawthorne on a Saturday morning. You'd think shops would take advantage of the weekend and be open nut alas, alot of them are closed. The ones that are open are over-booked. I found Ricks and drove up and it was spacious (unlike other repair shops) and fairl empty. I drove in and explained the light and since they've never seen me or my car they told me they'd have to run a diagnostic. It only makes sense, right? A true mechanic should get the whole story before they just work on the ONE thing you came in for. Anyways. Sadly. The diagnostic cane back that I needed about $2500 worth of repairs. Alongside some computer technical problems with my car Now you might be thinking I should give this place a 1 star review because of that. No. My reaction to the car needing that service is a 1-star review lol One of the mechanics walked me to my car as it was lifted and pointed out everything I would need to do to my car. He showed me in detail and I understood. Sadly I'm not rich enough to drop 2500 on repairs. My car is old and I'll be getting rod of it soon. So I asked what was the most crucial thing to get done. I opted to come back at a later date (which I will) and Rick even mentioned they do 6-month financing which I could explore if I wanted to. I never felt pressured here and Rick seemed like a stand up guy. I wish the repair cost were cheaper but I've been to cheap repair shops and you always get what you pay for. I'll take my car to Rick again and I'm sure the quality will be great.

Good quality of service but real value is they know the neighborhood real well and can make a sold recommendation for anything that they don't do!

Mike, the hero, saved my front right wheel from collapsing on itself. He instantly knew what the problem was and gave me a quota within an hour of dropping off my car at the shop. I highly recommend rick's automotive, especially, if you get MIKE as your mechanic. Just be patient and cooperative for a quick, smooth, succesful repair.

Great staff very helpful gave detailed information about what was needed for future maintenance and had my 04 accord running great after first performance oil change definitely felt the difference with acceleration recommended for older cars that feel sluggish. will bring my car back for future maintenance

As always Rick and his team has taken care of me and my Aleeah (Scion XB). I was in and out there within 15 min with my routine oil change. I made an appointment a week ago and showed up for my appointment and they took care of me right away. Not like in other car shops I’ve been to...they check my car in and is left in the lift for a minute. And when I say a minute I mean like 30 min. It’s like why check my car in if you’re not going to work on it. Always puzzled me. But not at Rick’s Automotive. They are fast, proficient and professional. Also they make you feel at home as soon as you walk into the waiting room. They have coffee or tea and cold drinks as well. And beer are one of the cold drinks he offers. Not just domestic beers, imports too!!! All Rick needs is a small kitchen preparing short order food then he’s complete. There’s a flat screen tv with cable and all the channels cable offers. You can literally fall asleep in there waiting for your car. The couch chairs he provides are very comfortable. If you don’t want to wait, you have the option to get dropped off or even use a loaner car. Rick’s has everything you need to make your experience has comfortable as possible. There is free Wi-Fi too!!! Thats all I need when I go there. Thanks Rick and team for another great experience!!

Knowledgable, professional crew at Rick's. They've come through for me on repairs big and small. They're also diligent about keeping customers updated about the progress of repairs, which is helpful.

Ricks did an outstanding job getting my Audi running better than it has since I purchased it. Drives like a new car. Thanks for putting the extra time into it and getting it done right.

I was impressed with their customer service & effeciency.
