Dear Yelpers: Sit down and take a minute to read this:…read more this is a true story. I had a nail in my tire this morning and didn't want to take any chances with it so I started calling around Manitowoc to see who could get me in ASAP. Are you sitting down? I called eight different service centers!! now I understand it was a Friday at 1 o'clock, but I called eight different service centers in Manitowoc and all of them could not fit me in ! even my local regular shop said I could drop it off and come back for it a few hours later in the day but I had errands to run and things to do and I needed the car fixed immediately. my father said "did you try Novak?" He gave me the number and I dialed it right up. I spoke with a friendly agent, I told her my story and I said "do you think I can get into your shop right now?" and she said "absolutely come on down." I was quite excited . I drove over - they pulled the nail out. It was nothing serious. It wasn't leaking any air and my $charge$ was zero for 10 minutes of work. Maybe it was 5 minutes of work. For that reason , I will be coming back for future service. I might be easy to impress, but after this experience, i'll give them another try!

The repairs could have been costly but he helped me get back on the road and wouldn't accept any tip. The community is lucky to have a business like this!

Apparently, stating that my son was STRANDED did not give them enough information to understand that he would also need a ride home from the drop-off location at the mechanic. Rude to both me and my son! Very expensive, but hey, it included being yelled at over the phone for no extra charge.

Charged $311 to change tire. Thought it was a mistake. Service person spoke no English…read more Owner did not reply to email on possible billing error. Went to office and had to speak to him over the phone. No apology for wrong billing so I think it wasn't. Took the bill to $150 after arguing with him. Then the secretary tried to add a prime service charge of $25 onto the bill. Only spoke to secretary in Spanish. If you want emergency service or repair be prepared! I feel from my experience Ramirez Auto is not to be trusted. Again to me no apology for the $311 bill must not have been a mistake! Don't utilize Ramirez Auto. They don't deserve one star!!!!!

Explained to Jim it looked like it was leaking from front axel passenger side... maybe a seal. Brought the truck in to appointment 2 weeks later. Got back home from the appointment.. noticed a big wet spot under passenger front side again. Looked under it and fluid still hanging and dripping off the axel , same spot as last time. Called Jim back like wtf. Get told they replaced the rear pinion seal! I got charged $150 to replace a seal I had replaced 2 yrs ago that wasn't even leaking! On top of that I get told... they wondered why I was replacing the seal when it was leaking from the transmission line above the front axel passenger side! Seriously? I tell them I thought it was a seal on the axel passenger side (I'm not the mechanic) and they replace the pinion seal no where near the passenger front side , noticed what was leaking and didn't say hey... this is what's leaking and needs to be fixed! Nope they just replaced and charged me for something that didn't need to be replaced and then want me to make another appointment 2 weeks out to fix what should have been fixed in the first place! NO THANK YOU! YOU ALREADY ROBBED ME OF $150
