Rick is so honest, helpful and willing to explain everything. I definitely will be back so Rick and his guys can make sure my car is running smooth. Thanks again for your kind service and the emails. The specials are great.

Rick is a great guy and a great mechanic. He doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need. He is very trustworthy and honest, which are great qualities in a car mechanic! My car needed the front and rear struts replaced as well as the engine mounts. He did most of it in just one day (and it's a pretty huge job!) I am pleased with the way my car is handling and I will definitely bring it back to Rick's if it needs any further repairs.

FINALLY!!! an honest, ethical, reliable mechanic shop!! After MANY bad experiences with our van we searched yelp for some help... The reviews don't lie!! Rick is everything the reviews say and more. He even loaned us a car while our van was being repaired... now who does that!!??? He and Jack took care of our problem with our air conditioning.(after several others had botched the job before) and did an inspection of the whole van. We had been told several different things from several different mechanics including two Dodge dealerships..(horror stories could be told about these dealerships)...needless to say their diagnosis was all upselling and bogus...Rick told us what we needed and was able to take care of our problems for much less than other quotes. We rely on our vehicle for our work ( who doesn't right?) but it is truly vital for us. Without our van and equipment we cannot work...So finding someone who we can trust and rely upon is a godsend. Rick is now our go to guy for sure.. We HIGHLY recommend you give him your business with confidence. He tells it like it is..and that's worth gold these days!! If you've reached the end of your wits, as we had, if you've had enough of dealerships / fancy shmancy mechanics with a total lack of competence, ethics and integrity... seek no further.... Rick is the answer to your quest!!

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.
