First off I want to thank Amanda for the amazing customer service up front. She s extremely polite and helpful. I brought in my car that was experiencing water leakage on the passenger side of the cabin. They worked on my car for multiple days trying to actually resolve the issue. They fixed it! My drain plugs were clogged with mud and other gunk! Thank you so much for taking time and caring about my cars issue. They went above and beyond and I appreciate it! If you re thinking about coming here don t! Just come on in! Amanda will get you checked in and most likely on your way to getting your vehicle fixed or serviced! God bless this place!

Got my engine mounts, suspension, and brakes done there. It was fast, everything was fixed, and works well. The guys up front are also really genuine and chill guys to talk to.

This is the best mechanics shop I've ever been too hands down. Their service model is modern and easy to understand. The shop provided me with a free vehicle inspection and provided detailed insight into the issue with my vehicle. They also gave me their personal recommendation and actually advised against dumping money into the car. This is what you want from an auto shop. Pay them a living wage and they'll be honest for you. Quotes for fixing were reasonable. You might find cheaper service elsewhere, but I feel confident saying you'll get what you pay for.Service: Vehicle safety inspection

I had taken my 11 Camry to another local shop where I was told my e fine was knocking and my car was no good. I then I had the family mechanic take a look at it, he told me my car was fine. I decided that I would have my car looked at again in a shop. After asked around for a honest reliable shop, I was told to go to Rick s. I had my car looked at my the gentlemen at Rick s and was told the engine was just fine, there was no knocking. The guys here did a complete look at my car. They sent me a complete work up, with photos to show me how dirty my air filter was. This show is the first to ever show me what needed to be replaced in such a detailed manner. The guys were really helpful. They answered all my questions. I feel safe driving my car.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

The people at Rick's are the best! I was taken in promptly and given a time frame when the work would be completed, and they were right on time! All of the personnel were polite, courteous, and knew what they were talking about without using all of the confusing terms that mechanics love to use. Will without a doubt return to Rick's for all future needs.Services: Vehicle Inspection, Vehicle safety inspection, Oil change

From the start, the service manager Terry was extremely helpful and informative. They performed a very detailed inspection of my truck recognizing even the smallest issues. They were very professional about not forcing unnecessary service on me as well! To top it, they worked extremely expediently getting my repairs done. I Most definitely recommend this shop to anybody on the central coast!

I wouldn't take my vehicle any where else for repairs. I'm a female senior and have had some bad experiences with vehicle repair places in the past. Rick's Car Care doesn't try to take advantage of you. Erick was so helpful and kind. Everyone there goes out of their way to make you feel at ease about getting your vehicle fixed correctly and as quickly as possible.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Smog certification

Rick's car care is the absolute best experience my husband and I have ever had when it comes to car repairs. Terry is terrific when first seeing the car, giving the estimate, etc. He is exact, detailed, and very nice. The mechanics are the best we have seen in a long time. It's great knowing a place like this exist, and even better located in old Orcutt. Rick and his wife are also super nice, looking in on you to make sure you are taken care of. They aren't the cheapest, but honestly...you get what you pay for! For years I have taken my car to Home Motors, and then get the car back with the exact problems still existing. I also love the fact that you get a two year warranty on any work they do. I never received this at Home Motors. Thank you Rick's Car Care for a job well done. Gary and Barbara Shubeck

Took my car in for a diagnosis of a clanking noise in the undercarriage. They test drove it, put it on the rack, found and fixed the problem. No charge, even though I pressured him to take a payment. They took pictures of emerging problems and showed me on their computer screen when I went in to pick the car up. Courteous, professional and knowledgable. Haven't had any work done yet, but I will. And I expect to be completely satisfied. Recommended.

Terry was easy to deal with, honest, and knowledgeable. We had a vehicle break down near their shop, about 150 miles from our shop. They did a great job.
