Outstanding Service, Year after Year!
We've been bringing our vehicles to Rich for many years, and the service has always been exceptional. Whether it's routine maintenance or more complex repairs, the work is done thoroughly, honestly, and at a fair price. We've trusted multiple vehicles with them over the years and have never been disappointed. It's rare to find a mechanic this reliable and consistent—highly recommended!

Honest Rich
I am changing over to Rich to have my 3 cars serviced by his mechanics. I captured Rich being so Frank and honest, that I know I will be in good hands. I appreciated your recommendations?

Rockstar Performance
I just have to say that Rich and his team are awesome! It’s not often you can find a mechanic who’s truly honest and trustworthy, but that’s exactly why I make the trip from out of town to see Rich. He’s super meticulous and thorough.

I recently bought two more used work trucks and brought them to him. One of them needed a transmission, and they got everything sorted out in no time, which was a huge relief for me!

I really appreciate all the hard work Rich puts in. His deep knowledge and great communication skills are hard to come by these days. Thanks again!!!

1999 Acura 3.2TL, GMC Safari van
Everything you would hope for in a medium size independently owned local repair shop. Fair prices, timely & quality work. I've had a variety of work done on prior 2000 GMC Safari van and current 1999 Acura 3.2 TL. All good.

Always cares for customers and does so with beautiful work!
Kept my car indoors for protection and gave me a loaner car. I was able to get my car worked on while not missing work at the office.

A Better Auto Repair
In this case it was for our Mercedes Benz S500… great efficient service and completion of the required service and checking for whatever else was needed for our next service so we are aware of pending work. Very friendly and helpful staff. Not just friendly but good at what they do…. We will be back!
