What a wonderful experience! I came to Rick for some maintenance on my '99 Toyota 4Runner that has close to 200,000 miles on it. I had been wary to put a ton of money into my car given its age, but it came time to get a new timing belt, so my boyfriend helped me call several places to get quotes. After calling around the 10 or so shops, we got quotes from ranges of $600-$1,200 for a timing belt kit (Includes water pump, crank seals, etc.). Rick not only quoted me the lowest price, but he also provided the best Toyota OEM equipment, was very professional, and stuck to his 6 hour deadline for the job. It's been about a month now since I went in for my visit, and my car has been running great ever since. Professionalism: Rick and his staff were very kind and made me very comfortable with the work that he and his crew was going to perform. After talking to all the other shops, Rick was one of the most courteous and was able to educate me on what the parts were and why they are important. Timing: After calling around the other shops, most of them wanted to keep it for a full 8 hours. Rick told me that he could complete it in 6 hours and guaranteed that he'd finish it before he left for the day (I dropped the car off around noon). He stuck to our deadline without excuses and I couldn't be happier. Open on Saturdays: Most of the other shops are either (a) closed on Saturdays, or (b) only open until 1pm. Rick's shop is open for the full-day on Saturday, which is when I typically get around to doing my errands. Honesty: Rick is a very easy going, low pressure, and trustworthy guy. After pulling off the parts, **dun dun dun** he saw that the thermostat also needed replacing and the coolant needed to be flushed. Given that I had left for at lunch, Rick was able to send me pictures via text message of the corroded engine parts, which made me much more comfortable coughing up a couple extra bucks to fix the issue. Overall, I give Rick an A+ all around.
