Good service in my visit. Needed to get a check-up on a brake line. They were professional, polite, and friendly. It only took them about 30 minutes to look into my inquiry. No service was actually required, and they did not charge me for the labor involved to check my car. A satisfactory experience. read more

I took my 2013 Ford Edge in because the brake pedal had a lot of travel in it. I had done some research and was told that it was probably air in the lines or something simple like that. I also found out that if you pump up the break pedal and it holds, it probably not the master cylinder, which makes sense. I told the guy at the counter I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it because it's an old car with a lot of miles on it, but I still use it as a backup. It's worth maybe $3,000. So I left the car and got an estimate a couple of hours later with $7,500 worth or recommended repairs, including a new master cylinder, brakes shoes, new hoses and tires, system flushes, etc. etc. I literally told them that that I didn't want to spend a lot of money and really only wanted the brakes looked at. It's an old car and I get that it has a lot of stuff that is wearing out. But maybe next time do what the customer asked and quote the job at hand first before you try to upsell a bunch of extra stuff. read more

I highly recommend these guys. No second time I've taken my truck in to get it repaired. They ran a diagnostics found all that needed to be repaired and let me know what was major. What wasn't I ended up getting everything I needed repaired truck is running beautiful now got no problems and I'll be back there. Hopefully not soon but again when I have issues this place is always a good place to go to if you need car repairs read more

Gave me a bid on replacing wheel bearing, reasonable estimate. Did it in timely fashion. No extra charges. Very professional

Needed my breaks on my 4 Runner re-done. These guys got it done quickly and for the price they quoted.

I absolutely loved going to the rustic wrench such an incredible team so professional so kind and the best part is is that they are extremely honest!! I definitely will be returning!! read more

I did major research on finding myself a new mechanic. I reached out to a few places and decided to give this one a try based off of reviews. They were very responsive and have been. I went in today and they have exceeded my expectations. The service they provide I can tell is great quality. Their prices are also very very reasonable. I'll be back for my next service appointment. read more

I didn't feel any pressure when I took my car here. They were probably the cleanest mechanics shop I've ever seen... they even had free coffee which was really nice or you could buy a soft drink! Robert, the guy at the front desk, was so very helpful and they did such a great job and they communicated very well! I trusted what they did and if I needed assistance again, I definitely would go back! It was nice that Lyft picked me up and I went to a movie! I wasn't sure if they would go out there but they were there in about six minutes! read more

My wife brought her car in for a wheel alignment only. When she returned, she was handed a long list of recommended repairs--each with high price tags--which left her confused and upset. I went in to speak with the desk manager, who claimed this was part of their standard service policy. We don't agree with that approach, especially when it wasn't requested. I also noticed we were double-charged for the alignment, which he apologized for and corrected. This isn't the kind of shop that simply performs the service requested. We won't be returning. read more

I had my oil changed today for a fraction of the price I have paid at other places. Granted, it was definitely not 30 minutes in and out, but I appreciate a locally owned shop that has affordable prices. I will be back. read more

They took their time to get my brakes bled on my 2003 Chevy SSR a year ago. I had my oil changed 6 months ago and they did a great job. Today I got my oil changed on Veterans Day, and they did it at no cost. Thanks for the oil change and all the thorough work you do. Highly recommend them for any service you need. read more

I took my truck in here for some engine issues and I have it checked out. They ran a thorough diet check and were able to diagnose all the problems. These guys went above and beyond to get my truck fixed in a timely, respectable manner, and even when above and beyond Making sure I got the right price and showed me and talk to me about what was actually going on with my truck and they were able to fix it and find tuna and get it back to original state. These guys are great guys to go to their straightforward honest and trustworthy people. I will be going there with any other truck issues I have. I highly recommend these guys and this business. They are all top notch. read more

Replaced the pulley that burnt off belt. Will be going back for future service. My daughter was happy about the work being done.

Car would not start contacted the rustic wrench thru yelp. Prompt response and was able to get me setup with a complimentary tow. They didn't know if they would be able to get to it right away, few hours later your all fixed also gave me some tips to keep Vermont away. My new go-to place for my personal vehicle. read more

Professionals, using quality parts that they guarantee for 3 years. Great value for the smallest to the largest job. I have taken my families vehicle to Rustic Wrench for over 4 years. Our son's, daughter's, wife's, and my vehicle. They have done everything from routine maintenance to major system failures with excellence. read more

So fat so good! I made an appointment for an oil change, filter, tire rotation and general inspection after traveling across the country. The inspection report showed a leaking shock. this did not surprise me as my undercarriage had been hit with debris while traveling. took it back for the shocks and noticed immediately the difference. Thank you Jeff for your attention to my vehicle. read more

Just as good as any other shop. I wouldn't waste your time here. I'm not sure who licensed your mechanics but the fact that they can't diagnose and fix an oil leak the first time on a 97 ford ranger is pretty sad. Probably the easiest truck you can fix. I spent 5500 here to get work done on it and I think they just half a** it because it's an old truck that doesn't look pretty. I will never recommend this place and will never bring any of my vehicles here. I would love to shake the hand of the mechanic that can't fix a standard 4 cyl engine. Sad. read more

Just want to correct P.P. ALL brake jobs require one to open the hood to get to the master cylinder for a brake job. Not a pad slap.

Because I got a quote from another auto shop for a AC compressor was $2800 but with Therusticwrench I saved $2100 turned out to be AC hose and a O-ring read more

They really do great work. No auto works ever costs less than you think but they are fair, thorough and accommodating.

Service is top notch. They don't try to sell you stuff you don't need. Real honest and care about the customer. How a mechanic shop should be! Will definitely becoming back. read more

I don't tend to leave reviews, but this one needed to be left. I went to Rustic Wrench several times and was quite happy at first. I left after one day when I had an appointment that was completed. I left the shop and after 10min or so I heard a grinding noise in the tires. I immediately went back but was told they had other customers they had to cater to now. Even though I'd had an appointment that day and had only been gone maybe a half hour. They said they would put the car up and check it out real quick. Make sure it wasn't the rotors, etc. They told me everything was fine, so, I left. The noise came back shortly after. I took it to another shop, and they put it up, and said it was the rotors. The new shop replaced the rotors and the noise was gone. Rustic didn't check anything I suspect and even made a show of pretending they did. The second time was when they changed the transmission fluid. Took roughly and hour and 15 min. Fast forward a few months I'm at the new shop and they check the transmission fluid. They mentioned it had a burnt smell to it as though it was old. I asked the new shop to change it and come to find out the transmission doesn't even have a drain plug. You have to drop the whole filter to replace the fluid and the silicone takes 3 hrs to dry. Once again, I suspect Rustic never changed the fluid. They only said they did. The last time was when Rustic changed the drain plug in the rear differential. The drain plug came out on it's own and the fluid leaked out. Now I need to plan on replacing the whole rear end. I have talked to two professionals who both stated, if done right, there is no reason the drain plug should have fallen out. As I said, I don't normally leave reviews, but since on three separate occasions I can point to Rustic not doing their job correctly, or even at all, I felt I should make sure the information was there for others. read more

The service I needed ended up being covered by warranty at the dealer. I ended up calling them back to confirm based on my conversation with The Rustic Wrench. Thank you pointing me in the right direction! read more

The week of 5/27 I brought my 2017 Honda Civic in because the AC started blowing hot air on 5/24. I noticed the compressor pulley was no longer spinning. At this time there were no other issues with the car and was averaging 38mpgs with the AC on (I'm well aware that any car will have a performance degradation with the AC on). I was informed they would not replace just the compressor and would only do the work if the entire AC unit was replaced (compressor, condenser, evaporator, lines and refrigerant...etc). Reluctantly I agreed since a warranty would be involved for a grand total of $2700. Once I picked the car up I immediately noticed a performance degradation, but since this is my wife's car I thought it might just be me. After a week of driving my wife started complaining that she too had noticed the sluggishness of the engine and a strange high pitched noise. In addition the MPG dropped to 26 MPG. I called the Rustic Wrench up and was told this is normal with all cars having the AC on. We have had this car since brand new and it has always performed the same since the day we bought it. I did have some back and forth disagreements about A/C performance. Thomas called me back and asked that I bring the car back in. They determined that the new compressor was bad and replaced it. We brought the car home and everything was great. After 4 days, the same symptoms returned. I reluctantly called Thomas and returned the car. He replaced the compressor again this time with Honda parts and the car has been working great since. The Rustic Wrench has also done an amazing job on my old truck and although we had some disagreements at first I really appreciate the team. Thank you read more

Wouldn't go if you're a woman or person of color, they tried charging me 8000$ for some repairs. Took it down to brake masters, got it fixed in two days and it cost 1,400.... This company will scam you if you don't know any better read more

Fast and honest rare find these days I will be going back for all my auto needs, even got a great restaurant recommendation

Had my car in for CVT service. Took the car in on time. Done when estimated. Price as quoted. Pleasant folks, nice shop. My new go to. Check them out. read more

Very professional and completely honest. I had my tires rotated at Costco and on the work order it stated that car needs alignment due to uneven tire wear. This, despite the fact that the car drove in a straight line with no pulling and that tire wear according to my tread gauge was even. As I wanted to preserve my tire warranty with Costco I took the car into Rustic Wrench for alignment and they checked it and told me it did not need one and did not charge me for the examination. If you are looking for an honest repair shop, look no further! read more

They finished working on my SUV within 36hours of dropping it off. They installed the manufacturer fuel pump and it came with 3/36k mile warranty. Great customer service and they did a great job. My only knock would be I wish they would take pictures of the issue beforehand and pictures of the installment after as well. It would just give more transparency and make people feel more comfortable. I trust this shop though and that is why it wasn't too big of a deal for me. Thank you Rustic Wrench. read more

Have all my vehicles taken care here. Great work and great customer service they don't push unnecessary repairs on you either

Great knowledgeable mechanics. Just get what you pay for there. You get a fair assessment of work to be done. It gets done. No bs, just professionally done , always happy. read more

The service was amazing ! Explained everything and what was needed in the future ! Didn't try and push services!! Would definitely recommend to anyone!! read more

Went to the shop to get an estimate on replacement of motor mounts. They warned me ahead of time the aftermarket mounts weren't worth the hassle of insuring and all of that. The estimate was reasonable and actually a few dollars less than the dealership and I save a little gas, as their repair business is local. Upon inspection they found additional damage which was of no surprise to me. They tightened up my front end and it no longer makes that clunking sound when negotiating a corner. I am extremely happy with their professional service! read more

I'm an addict. And Rustic Wrench is my 'fixer'/'dealer' When I first came to Rustic Wrench it was to get a second opinion on a water pump. I have a 2011 Lincoln MKT and unbeknownst to anyone but Ford/Lincoln engineers the engine has to be removed to get to the water pump. Rustic wrench convinced me 1. 'The car is worth fixing' just what I wanted to hear. 2. They could and did fix it for a fourth of the price that the other shop quoted. I was 'Hooked' Since that day I've had almost everything, bumper to bumper fixed, replaced or repaired, except the engine and transmission (the transmission has been "flushed out") Words that kept me 'hooked': the car is worth it, you'll get 1/2 million miles out of that car, it's cheaper than making car payments. All music to my ears. Now, I've been made to wonder if I was too emotionally attracted to my car. New words that I've heard (not from Rustic Wrench) 'taken advantage of' 'senior abuse' From July of 2021 till July 2025 the MKT has made no less than 10 visits to Rustic Wrench and I've spent $15,107 in repairs. Credit to Rustic Wrench they have "warranty work" of $3970 for a total of $19,077. Kenny Rogers's song 'the gamble': "know when to hold em know when to fold em". Rustic Wrench, the dealer, the fixer won't tell you when to 'fold' Have a friend who will stop you if you don't have the will power Having said all this Rustic Wrench knows their stuff, yes they got some bad parts Most of all, know when to stop pouring your money into a car that is not worth it. Value of the car is not even close to what was spent fixing it. Poorer but wiser MKT owner read more

Too much back-and-forth with the same issue. twice it wasn't third time. but it was a nice clean shop

After spending $3200 with them replacing parts which were just replaced, a found the real problem with another mechanic: my timing chain and gears were worn at 192,000 miles to create the misfire problem. I don't know if there is a real mechanic over there. They just read codes and replace parts without considering what the real problem is, or how much it will cost the owner. read more

Friendly staff, quick and easy oil change. Also did an inspection which I requested and they let me know all the issues I had with my car and they even let me go and look for myself which I appreciated. Thank you! read more

I was able to schedule a last minute lube and filter and was not over charged. Staff was friendly and seemed to know their business. This location is pretty unique as it is out in the middle of the desert. read more

Have taken a few different cars to them for regular maintenance, warranty work and out of pocket repairs. Service is always fantastic, front desk staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. prices are fair and they are never pushy about taking on extra services that I may not need. I always recommend the rustic wrench to any friends that need work done and will continue to do so. read more
