Since it was…read moremy first time, I would sleep much better taking it to a reputable shop to do a once-over service & confirm quality of install. Set up appointment one week out from initial call. Came in to drop off car at 10:30AM & discussed w/ Andy for a bit. You can tell he's knowledgeable, wants what's best for the car & driver, & will be honest on preferences. Car was ready for pickup around 4:00PM. He gave the rundown of what I did well what I did wrong no fluff. Super appreciative. Happy to come back for future work.

I can't say enough good things about Ruppel's. Ken, the owner, is absolutely amazing -- the kind of…read moreexperienced, honest, and thoughtful auto repair professional I always hoped to find. He consistently goes above and beyond, and I always feel completely confident bringing my car to him. If something is wrong, even if it's not what I originally came in for, he'll find it and make sure I'm safe. Perfect example: I once went in for a simple oil change, and he noticed someone had stolen my registration sticker. Another time, we bought my aunt's car that had been sitting for a while and the air conditioning didn't work -- Ken found a squirrel nest clogging the system! When my car has made strange noises, he always checks it out, reassures me when it's nothing, and never charges me unnecessarily. He gently explains anything I don't understand, never talks down to me, and always makes sure I leave feeling informed and taken care of. This is exactly the kind of trustworthy, friendly, skilled auto repair shop everyone hopes to find. I've been coming to Ruppel's for six years, and honestly, I don't know what I'll do if Ken ever retires. Thank goodness he's alive and well in Burlingame. Highest recommendations. Thank you, Ken!

I appreciated that they notified me of issues that needed attention but there was no pressure to have it done immediately.

Will definitely come back here for future service.

We called him, figured out a safe stopgap to get home, and brought the car in. He got right to work, had us back on the road in no time, and charged a fair price. Even though we aren't regular weekly customers, I truly appreciate that he still runs his business with the same integrity he had when we first met him 18 years ago, soon after he opened. He helps whenever he can, never upselling unnecessary, and always charges a fair price. Highly recommend!

Within his first response, he not only quoted me for service but also gave me options for which part to buy, and later added that I could buy the parts myself to save money. He was super accommodating when it came to scheduling and traveling to work on my car while I was at work, and was done well within a couple hours. He was professional, friendly, and efficient. Going to him also saved me well over $1200 compared to going for a repair at the dealership. Would highly recommend and would reach out again if I needed any other repairs, auto, home, or otherwise!

Of all the responses I…read moregot, Roland stayed with me the entire time to talk through the issue and also provided a second opinion on everything. Roland referred me to a place to get a full CVT replacement for my 2015 Honda Civic. Price was beyond reasonable. Roland then met up with me to do maintenance for the rest of the car and now it runs like new! What sets Roland apart from everyone else is two things: 1. He's a mobile mechanic; if you got an emergency or need flexibility on location, he's your guy. He comes out to you. 2. He has YOU buy the parts, so money saved not being upcharged by the dealer/shops. You tell him the issue, he tells you what you need to get (including links to Amazon, rockauto, etc), and agree on the labor price I recommend his services to anyone that wants the flexibility and to go with someone knowledgeable/honest. He's also a funny guy
