    The best in town. Efficient, knowledgeable, and priced right. You can't go wrong here.
    Walter S.

    Our ultra reliable 2013 Sonata Hybrid started overheating and I had to find a local service company for the first time in Rancho Bernardo. There were three auto repair companies right next door to my office in RB but after reviewing Yelp, I discovered that there was a much much better one a few miles away. Trusting Yelp, I immediately headed over to Ricks RB Auto because his reviews were not only much much better but the praise to the quality of work gave me a very high comfort level. I was not disappointed. Driving into his shop is not that impressive being part of a shell station but the staff were efficient and friendly even though they were closing. They wasted no time diagnosing the issue. It was a leak in the cooling system in the rear section of the engine. Rick made me comfortable that he'll take care of it ASAP. The very next day the car was ready and Rick mentioned he ran into some issues. It turned out that it wasn't just a hose but a special water pump attached to the hybrid system that was cracked into two! Turned out this is a $900 part because Hyundai sells it as part of a larger piece that connects to the manifold, so he went to another source and found a refurbished part for just $200! Saving me $700. He not only saved me a huge amount of money had I taken it elsewhere but made several important recommendations on belt replacement as the car was aging. I told him he is going to be the only company to look after this car from now on! Well believe it or not, the car overheated again a few days later and off it went back to Rick. He assured me they will take care of it and boy did they. It turned out to be another hose failure in a different part of the engine. He not only replaced it and the coolant but charged me absolutely nothing!!! Even though the problem was brand new. I'm sold and I will highly recommend Rick to my friends and to anyone else in San Diego. It's so rare to see such service anywhere.

    Rick is relaxed, honest, and direct. He's also a very busy guy with lots if repeat customers so he doesn't need to cut corners. If you're a fan of fair prices and honest dealings this is the place you've been looking for. My husband and I had driven from Berkeley to San Diego for a wedding and the required maintenance light came on. It was 9am Saturday morning and we needed to get to the wedding by 2. Freaked out, broke, and far from home thank god we found Ricks. Turned out we were due for our 30,000 mile service. He patiently explained it all to me with zero pressure. When I told him about our situation he promised to get it done in 2 hours and offered me a ride to and from our hotel. Plus he discounted our quote because we had done a recent oil change at a different location. To top it all off it's a family business with his very courteous son Rick jr. working the counter along side his dad. There aren't enough businesses like Rick's out there nowadays. Do us all a favor and support this one.

    Motor installed, accessories next!

    Perhaps Rick, will take this review and learn from it. Wishing him nothing but the very best and a speedy recovery.

    I had my 1999 Lexus LS400 serviced here the other day. Rick's work was excellent. I am impressed by 26 MPG on highway drive.
