He worked me into his tight schedule, assessed the issue, located and obtained the needed part (window regulator/motor) and got it repaired within two days! I am so thankful for his efforts to get me back on the road without any delay in our vacation plans. I highly recommend this business - his shop is immaculate and he truly goes above and beyond to provide first class warranted service. Thanks again Rick!

He was to take me to the airport in Portland the following day. Rick grabbed his diagnostic machine and went to check the truck. He told us what it was and said we could drive it but it needed a new thermostat which he could not get to for a week or two. We are immensely grateful to Rick for taking the time to check it out being that it was a potential safety issue and we would have had to make alternate arrangements immediately. My son said he will definitely make an appointment and go back for the work. Thank you for the peace of mind on the way to Portland Rick!!

Tried 5 places in Newport and Lincoln City but couldn't get anyone to even look at me for almost a week. Call number 6 and these guys said bring it on by and we'll at least tell you what's going on, if it's safe to drive. Got there midafternoon. They were very accommodating, professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. Diagnosed the problem and then went ahead and fixed it! Took an hour and a half. It was no bargain but really felt it was worth it, and so pleased that they got me back on the road safely.

Unfortunately the repair would take a day or so to repair and I couldn't spare the time. I can't speak on quality of work since I didn't have the repair done due to my own time constraints.... But they were eager to help! I drove over and met a wonderful gentleman named Mike and he took the time to give me a DTC read out and was very sweet, professional, and knowledgeable. If I'm needing a repair next year on my trip down this is where I would go.

Family business (father and son) that's been around for about 50 years (father just turned 90 and…read moreis still running the front office, doing the tire and parts ordering, etc; son supervises the shop and still does some of the work.) They employ and train young local people, and every time I've needed their shop for anything - tires, brakes, electrical - they've been stellar. (Once when it turned out that they'd have to keep my truck for a day or two, the father loaned me his!) Their prices are fair, and they won't try to upsell you on tires or other things. One of my best local businesses. Highly recommended!

When people know the name of a business, why change it? Locals remember when this auto repair run…read moreby Greg was a gas station run by Larry so he kept the name. Makes things easier. Greg is about the easiest going guy you'll ever find. With his ubiquitous mouthful of chew, he knows his cars, knows his parts and his diagnoses are always spot on. He'll work hard to get you in and get you back on the road, securing parts in town or online as quick as he can. Prices are reasonable and he'll do an odd thing here or there without being asked, just to make sure you're in good shape. You'll have to ask for higher-end parts if it's what you're after, otherwise, you'll get budget parts. He'll answer the phone if he can but it's always best to swing on by.

Patrick spent 30 minutes with the starting issue and didn't charge me a dime because he couldn't replicate the problem. He spent an hour checking my power steering and parking brake, told me what it would take to fix the power steering leak, and actually advised me not to have it done yet as it wasn't necessary. He could have just done the work and made over $1000, but he didn't. He couldn't get the cabling for the parking brake, so he gave me a few suggestions for that. He didn't charge me anything for the diagnosis. Patrick is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. If he doesn't fix anything, he doesn't charge you anything. That is unheard of in today's world. He has gained me as a customer for as long as I live here. Anytime someone has vehicle issues, I always recommend his shop. My hat is off to him and his team for their honesty and integrity. I'd give their shop 10 stars if I could.

I explained the problem I was having, and he directed me to a local transmission shop who he felt was likely more familiar with the problem and my old car than Rick's was.

I went to the web site linked to the business and found it helpful and easy to navigate. I called the business, spoke to Doug , he recommended a tire for my vehicle. The price on the web site about 152.00 for each tire, I then asked for the out the door price and it sky rocketed to 1015.00 That's over 100.00 to mount and balance each tire. I asked him why the price went up so much, he said he did not know who put those prices on the website, and he would make no money at those prices. A very poor answer for an obvious bait and switch operation. If you go to the other big tire shop chain in town, there is clear transparent pricing, showing the price for each step of the purchase, exactly what everything costs, nothing is hidden. I guess that on the coast you can get away with doing business like that, not so much anywhere else, you would be out of business soon. Caveat Emptor
