This place was amazing! When ask to see if they could check my car they scheduled me quickly to check it for the next day in the morning. They took about an hour to check my car and give me a diagnosis. A quick and easy fix on my car that had a electrical problem. They fixed it in less than an hour.
Got there at 9am and was leaving the shop around 10:40 am they made sure my car had perfect cool air. They are super friendly, kind and very honest! Also did not charge me a crazy amount comparing to the dealership. As a small business owner, it means a lot when other businesses share your same core values & go out of their way to help you in any way possible.

Had transmission filter and oil changed ,dropped off ,at 800 am ND was ready after noon .The office manager was friendly, and very knowledgeable. The owner was very understanding and like me a perfectionist. I don't usually write reviews because most of the time I'm not impressed. I was certainly treated right along with the care shown my vehicle. I definitely recommend Rick and his associates to anyone.

Came here a long time ago and the place messed up my car worse. I see my old review was taken down so I'm posting this one again. This review isn't as detailed as my old one. They are dishonest, overpriced, and made my situation at the time worse. They gave an egregious prices for the simplist fixes. My father ended up fixing my vehicle I had at the time and the problem was nothing what they said it was.

Rick is a great guy! He's very professional and truly cares about his customers and their vehicle troubles. Met him for the first time yesterday and was very impressed with his one on one attention to myself and the details of the issues with my vehicle. He provided options for future repairs at reasonable pricing. My family and I recently moved to this area and we have struggled to find someone to provide honest and reliable service, well now we have. I even feel confident enough that my wife will be treated with respect and not hassled or hustled.
I highly recommend Rick's Automotive expertise

Rick and his staff were extremely knowledgeable when it came to my old '97 Toyota 4Runner. I had some clutch issues that persisted even after they replaced it. Knowing we needed the vehicle, Rick took time during his Christmas holiday to diagnose the issue and figured out what the problem was and fixed it. They are honest and upfront about expected costs. I would highly recommend Good Cents Auto for your auto needs!
