If I could give a 10 star compliment here, I would because he is well deserving of it. The first time I met Rick, I could tell he's the type of person that you like right off the bat. A friend referred me to him and he did not disappoint. I wish I would have met Rick sooner because I can tell he is an honest man and a fantastic mechanic. I'm a surgical nurse, not a car guy, don't know cars if my life depended on it. Rick saved me close to $1,900.00. If you need a life saved, I'm your guy. If you need a trust worthy, honest, fair mechanic. Rick is your guy. I know customer service just based on the profession I'm in and if you want the best of the best then Rick is your mechanic. Give him a shot and I guarantee you, he will not let you down. I wish I would have found Rick sooner because I would've have taken all of my cars to him so much much sooner, but I'm lucky to have found him now and I suggest you give him a shot too. You've earned a customer for life Rick. A++++++ all around. BTW he's been in the business since the 90's, so he knows his stuff. A+

Excellent trouble-shooting, did a pressure-check, found and fixed an intermittent coolant leak on my Chevy Diesel Cruze. Located the hard-to-find part and had me back on the road within 24 hours. Parts and Labor very reasonable. Thanks Rick for being a great mechanic when I needed one most.

Rick is an honest mechanic who is going to give you great service at a good price. I have taken multiple vehicles to him over the past five years and he has given me honest feedback each time and I have to tell you, I cannot appreciate this more. Especially when a dealership is quoting me six times what he is charging me for services. If you want a good mechanic who isn't going to try to wallet gouge you, this is the one folks. Honest mechanic who charges fair rates, plain and simple. Go with him and you wont regret it.

Took my 2007 Escalade in for a check engine light. After having a good conversation about previous work done, symptoms, and possibilities; Rick pointed me in the right direction to solve my problem. Professional, experienced, and honest. I highly recommend stopping by Rick's before considering another shop.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I have been a client of Ricks Automotive for over 20 years! I trust him, his knowledge, and his work. He is always responsive, and gets all work done quickly at a fair price!

Polite person on the phone but busy and says to call back in PM. Was booked for a few days. Might accept insurance but not always easy to work with insurance. That is true. Just the facts. I might call back after I see pricing compared to dealer.

Check engine light came on in my 94 Toyota truck. Rick diagnosed and advised me on how to remedy the problem even though I was a walk in customer. After he was done he did not charge me for the time it took him to diagnose the problem nor did he charge for the advice. Other nearby shops , we'll known I might add, not only wanted me to make an appt but wanted $100.00 up front for a minimum diagnostic fee. Rick Restored my faith in honest car mechanics.

Thanks Rick my car sounds smoother at start up and when shifting gears. Very professional mechanic advised me to not use cheap coil packs/parts from china. He put Japanese expensive ones and my engine doesn't sound rough anymore. Coil packs I used were fairly new from AutoZone.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Rick has helped me on several occasions. First, I'm new to Murrieta so I asked my neighbor for a trusted mechanic, he told me about his many years of knowing Rick so I called him up. I explained that someone tried stealing my catalytic converter but was unsuccessful and needed someone to weld it back on. Rick took the time to refer me to Wild Bills Auto. Second time I called Rick he asked what the problem was and I explained that the starter relay kept going out. He asked me what parts I was using to replace it each time. I informed Rick the parts where purchased from O'Reilly auto. Rick told me to put OEM parts only and I've never had another issue with the car. Rick is 100% a stand up guy you can trust. Thank you Rick.

Rick's was recommended to me and so I took in my 2000 Toyota 4Runner for a tune-up and just asked him to check everything out for me. I have now found my new mechanic. I found him to be honest, to not oversell or recommend things that weren't needed, and fair priced. When I went to pick up the car, he showed me all the old parts he'd replaced and explained what each one was for. Wonderful mechanic.
