Twice for repairs. (1)Timing Belt with valve adjustment. Very reasonable, compared to dealer. Prompt competent service. Been two years - no conplaints. (2) replace fuel pump (inside tank) dealer only part (bummer)- no after market options. Was blowing fusible link for ignition. Pump wires frayed and burned - a potential fire/explosion hazard? A design defect? Must keep tank full(er) to cool pump - huh!?! Repair reasonable price, compared to dealer, Timely and efficient. One year - no complaints.

In replacing a headlight, they forgot to tighten the
screws and the result was a headlight that aimed
downwards, just over the bumper.
They neglected to replace the air filter in a routine
maintenance juob.
But, they were very quick to remedy and apologize.
They have a very professional-type operation. We'll go
back.

Rickard's is an honest shop that saved my mother from an
unneeded $2600 engine replacement. My mother first took
her car to Mickey's Auto Repair complaining of a sound
coming from the engine. Three "mechanics" looked at her
car and told her that the engine was shot and they could
install a used engine for $2600. After seeking my advice,
I located Rickards Automotive on the CarTalk website and
sent my mother there for a second opinion. Rickards
quickly discovered that several bolts were missing from
the alternator and that this was causing the noise from
the engine. (My mother had the alternator replaced at
Sears, I'll be writing about them later). Thanks to
Rickards for quickly and accurately diagnosing the
problem. They have earned a customer for life.
