Hawthorne and Lawndale Auto Repair

Excellent service!! Rick was honest, professional, and very pleasant to talk to. Would definitely recommend!!!

Last month(Jan/2013), I took my Honda CRV to Rick's Automotive to replace the worn-out timing belt, including other related belts, water pump etc. for the whole package. He gave me a good price and he is a very friendly guy, the kind of guy that you would want to hang out with. To make a long story short,he was unable to fix my car correctly on the first round and I had to bring the car back to his shop again. After several more attempts of putting the engine in and out (I really mean a very serious effort for that), he finally got my car running again and without charging me more money. Ofcourse, he could have tried to collect more money from me by claiming that there might have been some other things wrong with my car (some mechanics do) but he did not do that. To me, that's what I would call the HONESTY! Thank you Rick, Victor

Once again pushed for time Rick came in to save the day... with 242,900+ miles. He didn't try to break the bank or hold my car hostage. The turn around time and custmer care was wonderful. Thanks for all the TLC

First and foremost, this is a GREAT place to go to for any car repairs!! I can't even begin to describe how awesome this place is!! Rick and his staff are very friendly, professional, and honest (which I have not experienced from most of the mechanics I've been to, especially in Los Angeles). They treated my Cavalier with care and wanted to make sure everything was taken care of!! I originally found this place through Living Social and was very happy with the oil change. I decided to come back for way-past-due mechanical repairs because of the good experience and Rick was able to accommodate me immediately. His prices were extremely reasonable (Pep Boys and Auto Zone quoting 4x as much!!!) And his ability to work with you on payment was much appreciated! I got all of my issues (oil leak, break pads/roters, spark plugs/wires, etc.) fixed that same day and could not be happier with the service! In addition, Rick himself is one of the nicest guy's I've ever met and his professionalism and love for his job shines through. I now will not take my car to anyone else and I suggest you do the same!! THANKS AGAIN RICK FOR GREAT MECHANIC WORK AND FRIENDLY SERVICE!! :)

Courteous, friendly service and car runs great!

as always, Rick's Automotive provides you with the most thorough and caring service around ! always a pleasure to deal with Rick and his crew.

Great Service, knowledgeable staff

I randomly yelped this place to get a tune up. Knowing nothing about cars and having a few bad experiences with mechanics, I went here hoping that the good Yelp reviews wouldn't let me down. I drove up and was helped right away and Rick was friendly and to the point-no upselling, creepiness, or bs-ing. I feel like I got good service and a good price. ;)

I have a 93 jeep wrangler. Lately I've been having issues with the engine struggling doing all sorts of things. I called 4 nearby mechanic shops and they all beat around the bush.. trying to tell me it was a whole new engine repair or this or could be that. I walked down the street to an auto body repair shop and they actually referred me to Rick's shop. I drove down to see him. He was very friendly and straight to the point of how he was going to solve the issue. Excellent customer service. Definitely bringing my other car to this guy.
