Ricky was extremely helpful, courteous and very honest. The dealership had given me a list of things to get done based on the mileage on the car alone but Ricky was able to reduce that list and save me a lot of money by showing me what I could so easily do myself! Wish I could have found his shop sooner but better late than never.
As a woman I have been taken advantage of by unscrupulous people more times than I care to admit.Many neighbors on NextDoor recommended Ricky’s Garage in Fort Collins and he exceeded my expectations in every way.Ricky took the time to visually show me the issues with my van and educate me about what to look for. There was no sales pitch or pressure of any kind.He reassured me the rumbling I feel when backing up the van with the wheels turned is simply my new winter tires breaking in. (I’m getting them removed after this last Spring snow storm.) The cost for what I feared would be an expensive repair? $0.00I am going to be a customer for life because he is a rare, honest gem in the mechanic industry.He is originally from Costa Rica and is a fascinating person to speak to. You can sense the honesty and integrity in Ricky when you meet him.I highly recommend Ricky to anyone who is tired of getting taken advantage of by unscrupulous mechanics.
Ricky is the most honest fair skilled mechanic in Fort Collins hands down..I highly recommend him for all your vehicle repairs.He has been taking care of mine, family and friends vehicles now for over 10+ years. Give him a call you wont be disappointed..
Excellent service in a timely manner. Excellent pricing. Definitely recommend Rickys Garage! Top of the line!!
Hands Down, the BEST mechanic in North Colorado! Does great work, is super honest, and has the BEST prices you can find anywhere! If you need something repaired or replaced, Ricky is THE guy!
Very good mechanic and stand up individual.Cares very much about his customers and there needs.
I normally do small stuff myself. I was replacing alternator in daughters Nissan Murano and found myself in a bind because the design was done by a sadist. Had it towed to Rickys Garage because it was close. He worked me in that day and finished the replacement for a very reasonable cost. I will be using this shop going forward. Great experience.
I thought my car was a bit of a mess when I brought it and a repair list of my own to Rickys. Not knowing them, I first relied on the online reviews but later as I got talking with Ricky about the obvious problems with my car, his honesty and knowledge assured me that I made an excellent choice, my car was going to get only the repairs needed and in the end the total repair cost was fair. Ive had my car for 18 years and in that time, with all the repairs and mechanics its seen, this is truly the 1st time that Ive felt that the whole car had a sense of newness when I drove it away. Almost like a new car! Rickys also took the time to show and clearly explain all that was repaired and why I did not need all the repairs that I thought necessary immediately. The repair quality was amazing! And they talked to me like I was family! I dont think that I can thank them enough but I sure am happy that they are here in Fort Collins!
Ricky is awesome and can fix anything. He’s really not set up for the routine jobs like tire rotations or oil changes. He can do them of course but is not as quick or cheap as specialty shops like jiffy lube etc. He is a master mechanic and is great at more complex jobs. That is where you can save money as he is the most honest mechanic you will every find.
My family and I have been going to Ricky for over 10 years. Recently, I moved to Boulder and went to my local mechanic there. I will never be making that mistake again!! Ricky is honest, fair, and in general a great person. What was going to cost my $1900 at Big O Tires in Boulder, Ricky is doing for a QUARTER of the price. He looked over the Big O estimate and found so many times where they were overcharging me, padding charges, or adding additional frivolous charges. Unfortunately, as a female with limited car knowledge I am an easy target for places like Big O Tires to take advantage of, so getting honest detailed explanations from Ricky is a breath of fresh air. Anytime from here forward I will drive an hour to Ricky or even pay to have my car towed to him if need be, I will still getting the better deal even after the price of the tow. I am genuinely thankful to have him. Couldnt recommend him highly enough.
I would highly recommend taking your vehicle to Ricky‘s garage and auto repair. The Honda Odyssey was seeping coolant and so I took it to Ricky to replace the water pump, timing belt, and belt tensioners. He inspected it said it was still in good shape there was no need to change it. Upon further inspection he did see the radiator was leaking coolant and he replaced it. Thanks so much Ricky!
So... I use to supply parts to Ricky working at an aftermarket parts supplier store... he was an extremely good customer of mine and did topnotch work. That means he didn’t ask for warranty reimbursement. It wasn’t just great working with him.... after I left that job and was relocating to another state I had him work on my vehicle. He owed me nothing and treated me just as good as I felt he did to his customers when I supplied him parts. He is not only a master mechanic but also an honest man. He was a pleasure all around. I recommend this man and his work 100% of the time.
I would recommend Rickys Garage to anyone within driving distance of Fort Collins. When I tell my friends I have an honest mechanic, they laugh, but that is exactly what Ricky is. Honest, talented and he doesnt charge an arm and a leg. Ive brought two cars in to him, and I couldnt be happier with the service I received. I highly encourage anyone with car troubles to call Ricky. Plus, he is a honest and super nice guy!
Great experience getting our car fixed here. After a transport company damaged our car and refused to compensate us, Ricky fixed it for a fair price and also very quickly. He was honest with us when he told us we didnt need to order all new parts and that saved us over $1000 dollars from the quote the dealer had given us. I would highly recommend Ricky!
We had a clutch go on our Subaru Forester and it has been a nightmare - until someone recommended Ricky. He has been amazing - quoted us less than other shops in the area and has been completely honest throughout the process. We have found our new mechanic.
Rickys Garage was recommended to me about five years ago. We have brought all of our cars, including our kids cars, to him for repair and maintenance. He is an excellent mechanic, honest and affordable!We actually just had a recall repair done at Tynans and when we went to pick up the car they told us we needed all sorts of brake work done to the tune of $1600. After bringing it to Ricky to check it over, he said there was nothing wrong with the brakes. I cannot begin to thank him for all of the work he has done for us and kept our cars healthy and road ready. We were lucky to find him and now we recommend him to others.
Ricky does an all around excellent job. He communicates often to let you know whats going on as he goes along and he is extremely honest. I will never go anywhere else with my vehicles. Such a rare find, especially being a female that other mechanics might look at as gullible and vulnerable. No fear with Ricky!
Driving thru Colorado on vacation and check engine light came on. Ricky was able to get the truck fixed up and back on the road the same day. Honest hardworking mechanic that really helped keep my vacation stress free. I would recommend Ricky’s garage Auto Repair to anyone!
My daughters car broke down in Denver and was towed to a Tires Plus that quoted her $1500 to fix. I called Ricky who had services my car and he was able to suggest a reputable tow service and within a day it was at Rickys Garage. After a thorough inspection Ricky found it needed a bolt on the brake line tightened!Ricky filled fluids and checked over the car and charged us only for one hour of labor. Ricky is honest, does quality work and is our mechanic for life!What a wonderful business
My experience at Rickys garage has been always amazing. Extremely honest and fair prices. He will never ask for jobs you dont need. Besides this, he takes the time to explain you everything in detail. I had a very bad experience in other place due to an emergency. I was extra charged and all the repairs I was suggested to do were not true and the ones I needed ASAP were not mentioned. I trust 100% in Ricky, he took the time to inspect my car with me and showed me what I needed and what I definitely didnt need. Highly recommended
Ricky is awesome, I always feel like he takes care of my car without charging me my last penny. I always feel good driving away after he works on my car. He was especially helpful when my car broke down while I was home for Thanksgiving and trying to get back to Grand Junction for college finals. Ricky went above and beyond to make sure I got back safely and on time.
This experience was great. Polite, professional, friendly, just genuinely nice people. Got lucky cause they had the best price as well!Going to be leaving the same exact review for Galaxy Auto Recovery (Towing) because I had a similar experience with them! I am not a writer so thats the way I am going to roll =)
I have been going to Ricky for all of my auto-repair needs for years, he is the only person I completely 100% trust with my vehicles. Ricky is hard working, honest, sincere, and does excellent, cost-effective work. Im so thankful to know him, and to be able to take my car somewhere that Im not worrying the whole time that Im going to get screwed over. Thank you Ricky!!
Only business I would give 5 stars to !! Ricky can fix anything and at at great price, would recommend him to everyone, will always take any vehicle to him. Seriously he is the best.
Honest fair price and legit.
Having grown up in a family of mechanics, I know within a couple of minutes whether a mechanic knows his stuff or not. Ricky exceeded my expectations of a great mechanic with his expertise, integrity and affordability. My gas efficient clunker will never know another mechanic after finding Ricky. He came highly recommended and at the risk of him being constantly booked, I will tell everybody I know about him. Thank you so much for everything. Nancy B
Honest, Affordable, and Professional.Highly Recommend.
Happy to have a good honest mechanic & shop to bring my car. Ricky is very knowledgeable and thorough. Thanks for keeping me safe on the road!
Good honest hard working mechanic, knows his stuff and takes care of his clients.
Ricky did a great job on my car! He was honest and the prices were fair. I really appreciated his thoroughness when testing my car and what was wrong (as well as truly testing what piece was broken rather than just replacing everything). I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone.
Ricky is very professional and experienced. He knows what hes doing and is there to fix your car. He provides honest business and fair price and is very time efficient. He is very kind and willing to help! I am so glad I found Ricky.
I stopped by Ricky’s because of the great reviews.My car had a terrible rattling noise underneath and Ricky fixed it quickly at a very reasonable price.I’d be very comfortable taking my vehicles to him in the future.
Ricky is awesome, efficient and great at Customer Service
Hi Ryan,I am sorry to hear how you feel about your experience at my shop. I was on my way to an appointment when you came in, and my employee was out that morning. Since you just needed a new battery, I thought I could do that quickly. When I order a battery, it usually arrives within 10 to 15 minutes, and they are very good about sending the right battery. In your case, it took an unusually long time for the battery to arrive, and when it did it was the wrong one. I was surprised in the error, since I ordered the battery for your specific car. I had to leave, and advised you to go to the dealer to get the correct battery. I pride myself on the great reputation of my shop and my service. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.Sincerely,Ricky
I had my older vehicle break down on I-25 a few months ago. I was told the entire break system needed to be replaced, totaling in over $1,500 at a shop in Denver. After having my vehicle towed to my mothers mechanic here in Fort Collins, Rickys Auto Shop, I was immediately treated with respect and honesty. After a thorough evaluation of my vehicle, Ricky determined it needed a simple, quick, repair, costing a total of $60, which to a single mother like myself, is a stark contrast to the previously quoted $1600. I have since called Ricky for various other needs and questions. He has provided, by far, the most kind, hard-working, detail oriented, knowledge based service I have ever encountered. I have, and will continue to refer all friends, family, and coworkers to him, as there is no other service like this in Fort Collins.
Amazing Experience, honest and great work. Ricky repaired my vehicle cheap and easy when I thought it was something else that was going to cost double. I have an older vehicle and I will be back when it needs work!
Ricky is wonderful. Thank you for taking such good care of me over a holiday
First mechanic/shop I can actually recommend. Honest and respectful. Had broken nut on control arm...needed welding work. Its nice to speak on the phone, drop off, and get updates from Ricky himself.
Ricky does honest, quality, cost-effective work. I had my Jeep looked at by another mechanic prior to bringing it to Rickys. The first mechanic diagnosed the problem incorrectly (assumedly to make a large amount of money from me). When I brought it to Ricky, he looked at it and told me, I dont know why anyone told you something was wrong with your engine. Nothing is. He replaced the radiator and in total, saved me over $1500 because of his honesty. Everything is running great and he is great to work with (explains everything, efficient, friendly, etc). Highly recommend him. Thanks, Ricky!
Ricky is small town honest and does quality work. He knows his stuff. I will always go here first if I can, and Im telling everyone I know with a vwhicle to do the same.
Ricky is a great mechanic. Weve been taking our cars to Ricky for years and he always does well by me and my cars. He doesnt offer to repair things that dont need repairing; provides great service at a fair price. I highly recommend.
Dont take your vehicles anywhere else!I can probably count on one hand the positive experiences Ive had at every other auto repair/mechanic shop Ive ever interacted with. But with Ricky, Ive had nothing but great experiences.He is knowledgable. Fast. Communicative (he never does a minute of work without explaining it to me - no pressure either). And he always asks a fair price.I will not take my familys vehicles anywhere else in Northern Colorado.
Rickys Garage is the only place I go for auto repairs. Ricky does great work at very reasonable rates.
Got the cheapest quote from here to fix my car. Got it done in a reasonable amount of time. When I got there to pick up my car the guy seemed impatient even though I had told him my mom was paying over the phone for me when I had dropped it off. Just went to get my tires fixed today and the guy told me my lugnuts were put on backwards thought I should just let you know so it doesnt happen again.
Went to Rickys for a battery replacement and failed to get my battery replaced. He ordered the battery right away but it took nearly an hour to arrive. Upon arrival, he told me it was the wrong size and that he was confused. He told me he cant waste any more of his time because he was running late. This man had no useful information to offer, he just told me to go elsewhere. Poor service, poor businessman. If youre looking for auto repairs, youd be better off going anywhere else.
Ricky is honest and does a great job for all our vehicles.
Went to Ricky after receiving a high quote from BG Automotive (came recommended from a friend), he told me all the same things that BG Automotive told me, and quoted me 600 dollars less than them on a brake job + timing belt replacement. He ended up saving me another 100 dollars since he didnt have to replace all the parts he initially quoted. He will definitely be my go-to mechanic from here on out!
Ricky is smart and honest. He fixes whats broken and doesnt upsell you anything you dont need. Hes the best mechanic Ive had!
Ricky is always so kind trying to help in every way. And has gone the extra mile for me multiple times. I havent gone to another machanic since.
Excellent personal service. Only fixes things that need fixing.
Ricky does high quality work and at a very reasonable price. Well be taking all our cars to Rickys from now on!
Couple friends refer me to Rickys Garage and I am very happy that I went to this shop, Very honest and affordable prices compare to other places in Fort Collins, Ricky is an amazing mechanic, He knows whats he is doing..thank you Ricky.
The only guy I trust when I dont know what is going on!
Why would you go anywhere else?
Ricky is a great, honest, knowledge mechanic
Ricky is the absolute best!!
Excellent service
Fast service
