Whenever I'm depressed over a car problem, I know that Rick will always bring a smile to my face, just by being his humorous self. He and his brother could replace you guys.

Not only have they done a great job on my cars, but twice
they've helped out friends who needed quick repairs
(hiking up a bumper that came off, diagnosing a rattling
sound and making a quick adjustment) -- without charge.
The brothers and their staff are always ready to help out.
I much prefer to go to them than to the dealer for repairs
and checks!

I have been going to Rick and Jeff's Union 76 for 20 years.
I really know Rick better. He never treats me like a dumb
broad (even though I accuse him of it). He is always honest
and gives me his opinion. He will tell me if they find
something else that may need to be fixed, but can wait for a
while. I recently bought a new CRV that has been at the
dealership 6 times in 8 weeks and has 2400 miles on it. Rick
calls me just to see how it is going (not well) and
encourages me to hang in there. He is like a brother I never
had. I really do respect and trust him because he truly
cares about his customers. They definitely run a clean and
respectable operation. If you know you need some work done,
you better call a week or so in advance in order to get a
slot. They just built a new facility and it is beautiful and
well-deserved. They have worked hard. (I live in another
town and won't let anyone there work on my vehicles.)

I actually enjoy dropping my car off. Rick is a great guy
and he and Jeff are appreciative of our business. On many
occasions, they have recommended less rather than more work
on my older cars. When they recommend work, I trust that it
is really necessary. After years of worrying about honest
estimates and competent work, my wife and I have been
delighted by the service we get from their shop.

Repairing your car can be trying to the soul and the
pocketbook, so I appreciate Rick Hoffman's dry sense of
humor. I am a woman and everything I know about car repair
I learned from Car Talk (so I don't know much, ha ha!). He
treats me right and I never feel ripped off. He worked very
competently on my Toyota for a few years before my husband
talked me into the money pit Subaru we currently own.
Hoffman's prices are not the cheapest, but they are fair.
They are great at deferring maintenance for older cars or
problems that can wait, and they often fix little things for
free. Rick seems brusque on first acquaintance, but he will
cheerfully banter with you about cars all day if you give
him a chance. I will miss these guys if I ever leave Davis.

While not the cheapest, their work is always top-notch, and
we have never had to return for mistakes. They are honest
and take the time to explain the problem, the solution, and
the price. We have tried other places looking for cheaper
repairs, but we paid for it with shoddy work. We will never
go anywhere else again.

I trust Hoffmann to be honest about what needs to be done, and they do a good
job. I used to go to one of the quick oil change places and had some problems,
so now I go to Hoffmann and have confidence that they will do everything right.
