If you are like many car or truck owners you have little idea of what an illuminated yellow light on your dash is trying to tell you!

For minor work I was given quote of 1000+ and was charged a lot for check up which wasn’t even accurate. Moreover, this wasn’t the first time. I wouldn’t recommend this shop.

My family has used Ricks auto repair forever. They recently helped when my catalytic converter was stolen. They got me in as soon as possible, and fixed my car quickly. They were so kind, and so helpful. I don't know what I would have done without their help.

I had been using Rick's for decades. They seemed honest, although I thought they charged a lot, and sometimes they would throw up their hands over a problem and charge me anyway.

Which is what happened this last time. The engine light came on, and they did some testing and couldn't figure out the cause. They suggested I go to the dealer. Instead I went to a different mechanic, who figured out the problem in about two minutes and charged me less for replacing the critical part (intake manifold runner solenoid/vacuum switch) than Rick's had charged for doing not much. This is who

So happy to have found Rick's Chevron to take care of my 2014 GTI. They provide excellent service with integrity, communicate with clarity, and are in a convenient location. Chris and Mike treat me like a valued customer. Easy drop-off. Highly recommend!

I have a 2004 Honda Accord and Mike and Rick's Chevron keep my car safe and on the road. I have always been able to get in within a day. I appreciate going to a neighborhood business I trust and the convenience of being able to walk home after dropping the car off and being able to pick up until late through the gas station.

I had my alternator go out on my car, and Mike was extremely accomdating and was able to get my car in the next morning. Very reasonably priced and had my car back to me in time to go to work. We recently moved to the area, and now have a mechanic we know we can trust with our vehicles. Thank you!!

We have going to Rick’s Chevron on and off for years. We usually dealer service our under-warranty cars as a matter of course and use independent shops when we have non-warranty vehicles. Rick’s is straightforward to deal with, has fair pricing and is the quintessential corner gas station garage. The fact that we can pick our car up after the garage closes from the gas station staff is a huge help as well. Clear explanations , not a lot of fluff or hard sell and local makes this place a great choice.

Went in to pay and had the gaul to ask about a coupon..seems there is small print on each one of them that voids them. The lady behind the counter could not have been more rude. Evidently "you guys" have been complaining about the bad coupons for a while because she got upset and lost it. Could not get put of there fast enough. Maybe next time I have a repair i will find another mechanic.

I went there due to they offered a very reasonable synthetic oil change and they were close to my home.
I was very impressed with Mike Wells for his customer service towards me and my dog.
I was so happy with everything they provided! It was beyond my expectation.

It's so great to have a mechanic close by;
the good ones are hard to find.
I highly recommend this place!

I've been going to Rick's for four years now. They always take good car of my car and I trust them to let me know what services are truly needed, and when. They've gone above and beyond every time I've needed help. The service here is incredible and the team is equally kind, professional, timely, and dedicated. Thank you to Rick, Mike, and Lynn for being friendly neighbors and impeccable professionals every day! I feel lucky to be able to go to your shop. Highly recommend!

So far so good. I've taken my 2007 Prius there for repairs twice. The first time I bought 4 new tires. They seem to be good quality and the price was fair. One of the mechanics explained to me about the difference in tires which I appreciated. Thankfully they caught a serious and possibly need for repair was the struts. Believe me I knew nothing about struts. I was shown a photo of mine bth front and rear. One was almost entirely worn down. They provide stability especially when one has to swerve like on a freeway going 60 or more MPH. Previously I had taken my car to a Toyota dealership

The mechanics at Rick's have been taking care of my succession of "vintage" Subarus for 25+ years. They have always been clear, communicative, and honest with me, and are motivated to keep loyal customers coming back. They often under-bill me for simple fixes, and they're happy to recommend local specialists when it's more cost-effective for the customer.

Today when I went in to have a burned-out headlight replaced, they charged me for only one unit of labor rather than the four units recommended in their billing system. And they checked my oil -- which, it turned out

Rick's is a real mechanic shop. I take all of my cars there. I trust them and they never take advantage of my total lack of knowledge about cars.

Refused to endorse an unexpired Gift Certificate worth $25 (worth of fuel) with the words "Purchase $250 worth of service and get $25 worth of gas".

It's worth noting that as of (10/20/2015) the same business has a coupon for "Chevron gas card not valid with oil change, dealer parts or taxes. Not valid on tire purchase. Offer only valid on auto repair completed at Rick's Tire & Chevron in Seattle, WA. Must present coupon at time of order. Coupon void if altered. Expires 11/03/2015." on a coupon website.

Starting with the counter person I was met with in-credulousness

Simply put: these guys are dishonest.

I wouldn't trust this place with an oil change or anything else. The advertised gas prices are for cash only, and the sign stating its a cash price is hidden and not illuminated. You end up paying more per gallon than you think they will. It cost me an extra $1.35, but my objection is to the principle.

When I asked the woman inside, because I thought I might have just picked the wrong gas. I was told she "hears this question 1000 times a day and y'all need to learn how read." Minimum wage is still much too generous for this

12/12/13 Saw the signs for regular unleaded was $3.359 per gallon and stop in only to see at the pump it cost $3.459...like this has happened before. I get tired of their righteous attitude inside so I think today I'll just go down to the Chevron on Northgate Way across from the McDonald's and next to the I-5 on/off ramps and save enough money that I can run my car into the car wash practically for free with my savings. Historically it's like twenty cents cheaper there and you get charged what the big sign says, not what Rick's wants you to think they're selling it for

These guys are great.

I've had quite a bit of work done here on my 1997 Honda Civic, from getting the axles fixed, to a muffler, to the timing belt/water pump plus a few oil changes.

They always gave me an accurate quote for the work, called me right away when it was done, and didn't make me feel like they were gonna rip me off just cuz I was a girl. (one of my biggest concerns when getting work done on my car)

On top of it, they are right across the street from me, so I can drop my car off and pick it up when it's done at my own leisure! It's so great to have a reliable
