    New front bumper basically look like factory!
    Ken H.

    I can recommend this body shop and Kevin without hesitation. My beloved LC's front bumper suffered from a half-baked paint job from another highly rated body shop in the LA area, and I was ticked. White paint was smeared on adjacent trim. Layers were peeling and warping. Unacceptable! This is my dream car we're talking about. Thankfully, I found Rick's Auto Body on Hyperion. The front bumper on this particular car is fussier than the typical car bumper, as you can see from the picture, so I was demanding about the quality of work. Kevin is a true car lover, and he was very understanding of my attitude. He personally oversaw the painting and installation of this bumper, and it showed in the quality of the end product. It turned out great, and I can finally enjoy the car the way it was meant to be when it rolled off the assembly line in Motomachi, Japan. Thanks Kevin and Rick's Auto!

    Amazing auto body shop. Took my car to get fixed, nothing crazy just a minor fender scratch, super fast turn around. Great customer service, super friendly, knowledgeable, and treats your car like it's theirs. They even fixed a ding on my side door that wasn't part of the original damage. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks guys!

    The fin on my white car, painted by the people at Rick's.

    Let me just add to the praise. They are wonderful. In addition to being just nice people, they are fast and do superb work. I even had them paint the little fin on top of my car. It is luminous and exquisite and enables me to identify my white car from all the other white cars with tiny fins on the roof. Kudos to Kevin and Genevieve.

    The five star reviews are no joke! Alex is THE MAN. I hit a massive pot hole that caused my rear bumper some misalignment, and I feared I'd need to get a total replacement. Alex looked at it, grabbed a couple tools and with another worker, popped it back into place within 30 seconds to salvage as much as he could and now it looks as close to perfect as it can be. He didn't ask for a penny. Instead, he shook my hand and told me to drive safely. A truly upstanding gentleman. I'll be going back here for all my maintenance needs from now on!

    Incredibly satisfied ; rick went above and beyond my repairs. I had a minor fender bender and greedy Geico adjusted my accident; relegating parts strictly to an OEM -- or after market prices. These are third party , lesser parts than manufactured original parts. I didn't like this as I viewed it as a consumer would view the 99 cents store to Ralph's or Whole Foods. I wanted what the manufacturer authorized, not the knock-off brands -- and for safety reasons too! Toyota was unable to price match but ricks body shop priced match to all original manufactured parts. They also gave me a ride to and from on two separate occasions. Would highly recommend ricks auto body for any auto body work.

    Kevin handled my insurance claim like a pro including guiding me through the process. They have a discount rate with a local car rental, too. He communicated reliably and my car looks like new--the paint match on the replaced parts is excellent. VW Golf.

    6/8-6/12/18 Fast fwd 6 mo later. Like I said before, I don't trust anyone to work on my car other than Ricks....& I won't take it no where else. No way!!! Got hit on my bumper while stopped after work in a busy Beverly Hills intersection by a guy of course on his phone. Took my car in here to get fixed again, & I still get the same best service ever & a spectacular flawless job on the hit to my bumper. 5days later, my car is looking fresh and clean, shiny, looks brand new again & I'm a happy lady! Thank you Alex for everything! You and the whole team are fucking rockstars! Always top quality work, very much appreciated!

    Before and after paintless dent removal - back to a nice crisp edge!

    Kevin is great. He was honest and upfront about all my repair options, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the price and the work done. I got a couple dents on my fender and went around town getting quotes, which ranged from $650 to $1200 for the typical body work, repaint, and door blend. Kevin at Rick's is the only person who suggested paintless dent removal, which had a much lower price. As I was already resigned to spending at least $650 for the full gamut of body work and paint, I found myself arguing with Kevin to spend MORE money at his shop, while he was trying to convince me to spend LESS. (He was also sure to explain that paintless dent removal typically isn't the 100% perfect fix that the other option would be, but in my situation, I would likely be happy with the results.) I left the shop feeling it was too good to be true, but decided to do an exercise in trust, lol, and ended up going with the paintless dent removal at Rick's. My fender is good as new!

    front bumper replacement

    Some of the best customer service I've ever experienced! So happy I randomly pulled into Rick's after my front bumper fell off. I was acknowledged immediately by the crew, and the manager, Kevin, came to assist me right away. It was a busy hour with multiple in-person clients and phone calls coming in, and Kevin handled each issue with grace, patience, and care. He provided a quote within 10 minutes, which was priced lower than other shops on Hyperion. Kevin was not only incredibly personable, but also explained my repair options thoroughly with zero pressure or up-selling. Kevin also went above and beyond in making sure I had a ride back home after dropping off my car. The front bumper replacement was done in less than three days as promised. I went with the aftermarket option, and the team did a perfect job! Seriously impressed by the work and service--thank you Rick's!

I ordered a used replacement from eBay and after it arrived I looked for a body shop that could install it. After reading glowing reviews, I called Hyperion to ask if hey could schedule the installation, expecting to wait a few days. Instead the guy on the phone said to bring it in at 10:30 the next day. I didn't get there as a tweak in the door itself caused my overhead lights to stay on and drain my battery. I arranged for a friend to take me home, expecting to leave the car for at lrast the afternoon. But manager (I did not get hois name) said it would just be a half hour. He called over a ytechnician and 20 minutes later the car was ready! I had some body damage and the manager quoted me a price apologetically, noting that Lexus Parts are super expensive. I said well, it's a 15 year old car - probably isn't even worth the cost of the repairs. I started to walk away and stopped, turned and said, "Wait, I haven't paid you!" And he said, "no charge".

Then I spoke with Mike, and he was beyond accommodating. He took me in the same day, handled my oil change efficiently, and made the entire experience stress-free. What really stood out was that Mike didn't just do the oil change and send me on my way. He took the time to walk me through a game plan for my next service and explained what should be addressed moving forward to make sure nothing negatively impacts my engine. That level of care and transparency is rare. On top of that, he filled my tires because they were low--completely on his own, without me even asking. It's the little things like that that show how much he truly cares about his customers. And he even gave me a discount on the price because I was a first time customer. If you need anything for your car, go to Mike. He and his team are professional, honest, and genuinely the best. I've found my go-to shop and won't be going anywhere else. Thank you Speedway.

After being publicly visible…read morefor several days, it was removed on February 17th, claiming the content "does not appear to be my own." I'm reposting because every word is my actual experience as an 8-year customer, and other people deserve to know what happened. Eight years as a customer - huge decline since management changed I've been a customer here since 2012 when Chris was running things. Back then they were fair, professional, stood behind their work. That version of this shop doesn't exist anymore. I just finished dealing with Rubin on a repair for my 1989 MX-6 Turbo and I'm beyond frustrated. Here's what happened. The battery issue: I brought them a brand new Optima AGM battery from O'Reilly's - $300+ with the extended warranty because my turbo needs a quality battery that can handle multiple discharge cycles. They were supposed to fix the ignition switch that wasn't fully disengaging (which drains batteries). I specifically told them not to leave the battery connected while they worked on it for exactly this reason. They left it connected. Killed my brand new battery. When I picked up the car months later and realized the battery was dead, Rubin promised he'd work with O'Reilly's to get it replaced and call me back. That was 6-8 months ago. Never called. When I finally reached him again, he acted like that conversation never happened and offered me a basic Interstate battery instead. So now I'm supposed to accept a cheap replacement for the premium battery THEY destroyed? That's not how this works. Work that wasn't completed: My gauge cluster still doesn't work - can't see speed, fuel level, temperature. That was one of my main concerns bringing the car in. The radio they disconnected is still not working. The door lock they replaced fell down inside the door panel. I asked Rubin to either fix the cluster or refer me to an electrician who specializes in older cars. Said he'd get back to me. Never did. Condition when I picked it up: Backseat was completely disconnected and flipped over. Windshield was so dirty I literally couldn't see to drive home. Wires sticking out everywhere. Screws and washers scattered all over the floors and seats. When I asked why the backseat was taken apart, Rubin said "the mechanic needed to get back there." Okay but why didn't anyone PUT IT BACK? The runaround: First they said the ignition switch was the problem. Then it was the radio. Now Rubin says my car "just has electrical issues" and that's not their problem. Wait - I paid you $3,800 TO FIX electrical issues. If it still has electrical issues after you worked on it, then either the work wasn't done properly or you're not equipped to handle older performance cars. Rubin's selective amnesia about promises made, the battery situation, and the incomplete work has crossed a line. If Chris were still here this would never have happened. I don't know what Nick's involvement is at this point but Rubin is running this place into the ground. Eight years of loyalty and thousands of dollars spent over the years, and this is what it's come to. Really disappointing.

It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended.
