A/C system finally failed on a newer Toyota in the middle of the Florida Summer. Rich was quick to get me in and diagnosed the issue quickly. The quote I received from Rich was much lower then the dealer or other competition and even included a warranty on the work versus other quotes I had received. Dropped my vehicle off and within 24 hours of receiving the part Rich and his team had the AC fixed at a great price. Will return should I have future Mechanic needs.

Very caring man owner of this shop

Excellent service, they fixed the issue really quick and didnt overcharge. Would recommend.

My son stopped in yesterday for an estimate for his ac and within and hour they had it working. We were originally quotes over $1000 from a different shop and Rich’s Car Cool did it for a lot less! We will never go anywhere else for our auto repairs. Highly recommend

Wow Rich’s he is the best Customer service I very had that he is greatest Mechanic the in world, my Ac was down and I Come here to check what the people saying is true, and he welcome me in minutes he got done everything great Reasonable price, thank you so much I definitely recommending all my friends and family and more importantly everyone who needs help with the air conditioning thise is the place you looking for don’t waste your money and other places that do nothing with, I want to thank mr Rich’s great customer service I ever met

We have gone to Richs shop multiple times. He has worked on everything from a new A/C to replacing steering column and power steering pump. Extremely honest, reliable, explains everything clearly, is affordable, and is very easy to work with. I was always skeptical of mechanics before working with him. He is our go-to guy now. Wish there were more mechanics like him!

I stopped in to see if they could repair my air conditioner in my Genesis. They took the car right back and fixed it right away! The price was reasonable, they were fast and friendly and professional! Now I don’t have to worry about driving around with no air in my vehicle in Florida! I will definitely be referring my friends and family there!

Rich was very helpful! We got in and out and are extremely satisfied. Running with cold ac is this beautiful Florida heat! Thanks man!

I came to Rich because I needed an electrical cord repaired. Rich was able to repair my vehicle within 4 hours, after I was given an ridiculous price and time frame from my actual dealer. Rich was VERY professional, any questions I asked he had answers for me. He stayed in contact with me the entire time my car was being serviced. He kept me updated with everything that was being done to my vehicle and his price was very affordable!!!! I will recommend this business to anyone in need!!

My son just got his AC serviced a week ago and it’s already not working AGAIN after paying over $100 for something we could have done ourselves! If you want a place that takes their time to really diagnose what’s wrong with it instead of just doing a “quick fix”—-find somewhere else!

Great service! Very honest and wholesome mechanic! Check them out.

Rich was incredibly fast with the diagnosis and repair of my vehicle!

The service there is very good. The team are very knowledgeable and always fix even the smallest things at affordable prices.

Got in contact with Rich through my roommate’s recommendation. Told me he’d be able to check my car a day before New Years! My A/C had gone out about two weeks prior. I had even checked if it was a coolant problem. Brought it in, and he replaced a little mechanism. It was blowing cold air immediately! I’m sure he could have charged me more for his services, but he didn’t. I’m a very happy customer, and I definitely recommend!! Thank you!!

Rich is a mechanic you can trust. Doesn’t overcharge and does great work!

Excellent service Above and beyond thank you I will be back and will refer people

I needed some A/C hoses I fabricated for my hot rod hydraulically crimped. Richs saw me right away and did a great job. It s sometimes hard to find good people that will help with custom work. Richs was very helpful.

My car AC decided to stop working, and as you know cant drive too long in Florida weather with no AC, but came here. And let me tell you BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thank God is wasnt nothing serious super easy fix, but he was honest about it and didnt try to over charge.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Phenomenal job. My 2011 Mustang GTs A/C has never been so cold. Rich is open and honest. Will never oversell. Rich even showed me where the A/C leak was coming from. Love driving my car again. Thank you Rich. Customer for life.

Rich is a very honest and friendly mechanic. I read the reviews before coming here, and the good reviews are on point. I got my AC repair done and he did not charge me the diagnostic fee. He runs his repair shop by honesty, integrity, and very fair pricing. Much less than Action Gator quoted me. I was also short on funds and he introduced me into the SNAP finance program to help get instant credit for the repair.

The BEST place to take your car if its out of warranty.! Rich is very thorough and will NOT scam you.! I took my car there for several different things and would never ever take it anywhere else.! Service is always quick and Ive never had a problem after things were done to it.

Great service super fair pricing got me out fast

Rich is a honest person and that something that you dont find in mechanics to often

My van AC was driving me crazy. Rich could have hit me up for a new compressor for hundreds of dollars but just fixed a coolant problem for under $80. Very thankful, did a great job. Its still working great.

Taking my car to get repaired is not something I need to do often but when I do Im very iffy about places I go to. Will they be honest? Are their prices fair? Will they try to pull a fast one on me during the repair? While driving to Tampa yesterday the Blower for my AC completely died. Not even a small draft of air, it was shot.I made an appointment at my local Pep Boys but decided as of this morning to open up my options. Ive always seen this business as I live nearby but never paid much attention to it. I saw the reviews, spoke with Rich who advised a diagnostic was free, and off I went as I had nothing to lose. The shop was very well kept and Rich was attentive, professional, and quick to take care of not only myself but any other customers who entered the shop. Rich advised my Blower Motor was shot (as I suspected) and would need to be replaced for a very fair price. I agreed and he ordered the part for me which was to arrive later in the day.When I returned they were swift to get my car undergoing repair. I patiently waited until I was informed shortly after that everything was good to go. I paid and went on my way. To say I was ecstatic to have working AC again would be an understatement. Not only that but the repair also sorted out another issue I had with an annoying faint clicking sound whenever the AC was turned on. (I meant to ask him about it but forgot at the time) Clearly the blower was giving me a warning sign which I arrogantly ignored.Overall I was insanely pleased with Richs Car Cool. If you want honest, friendly, and prompt service then this is your best bet. I see they also do other types of repairs and services so I will absolutely keep them in mind for any future maintenance needs. Thanks Rich!

My 73 year old moms 2009 Honda wasn’t blowing air, and the dealer wanted $800. I found the reviews of Rich’s Car Cool and sent her over there with specific instructions to avoid he getting scammed (I’m 200 miles away). She called me and said that he figured out in just a few minutes that it was the blower and quoted her $250 (no diagnosis charge). I said absolutely and he had the part the next day to complete the service. I appreciated his honesty and solid repair. It’s a little shop with what appears to be big integrity.

Excellent service on time the place it self is nice and clean they work in my AC and is prefect I do recommend this place 100%

Honest mechanic.

Great customer service, work performed Inna timely manner. Very friendly. Highly recommend

Very honest guys. I went in for AC issues. They were resolved honestly and fairly. I will definitely be returning to this shop if the need ever arises.

Very polite, quick, and knowledgeable re what needs to be done, its cost, and how long it will take.

Rich is super honest and reasonable Quote from pepboys for A/c Issue was $290 :rich fixed for $7 5

Great service...great people...and great prices...also very fast..thanks Rich...

It was a 90 degree day and 5 in the afternoon, when I got in my car to go home and noticed the AC was blowing warm air. So I went to an auto parts store and paid $50 for a recharge kit. It worked for exactly 24 hours.The next day I went to Rich’s and he quickly recharged my AC and it’s been working for weeks now. And it was $50 that I am grateful to spend. I’ll definitely go there again if I ever need ACservice again.

Honest and reasonable .......I highly recommend this place.

Fast, fair, efficient. Unless there was a leak, I thought all the car needed was an a/c recharge. They checked the system, found no problems other than low coolant, and recharged it in record time. Price was good and a/c runs great.

Great guy. Rich knows his stuff and took great care in repairing my truck quickly and cheaply. I highly recommend this shop.

2020 update: Rich is very good people and I will continue to recommend him. Great shop. Thanks for the help, Rich!Ive had a positive experience every time Ive taken a car to Rich to have work done. Fast, fair pricing, and lasting repairs.

I was visiting my friend from out of town and my air conditioning started running warm. Its a holiday weekend and Im here for four days so I went to Richs. He was very busy, but it didnt stop him from taking a look at my ac. He drained it and put Freon in it and then showed me how my compressor was probably going to be going but that he had made the AC better at least temporarily. He charged me absolutely nothing! He knew I was from out of town and couldnt be a repeat customer. What a testament of his character!!

Have a 2006 Honda Element that the AC was acting up over a 2 week period. Thought it was because the door panel was off while working on the power window. Once the panel was back on, it seemed to be working better. Everyone of course said just add freon. I know better than that on the newer systems, as you can really damage them. Seemed like the compressor was working as I could hear it trying to click on. Noticed the cooling fans didnt seem to be working. Was referred to Aamco in Longwood. Called & spoke to Mark who said they were too busy to be able to get to it quickly. I really appreciated his honesty. He referred me to Rich, who also was working on his car. I really appreciated his referral & when a mechanic has another mechanic work on his car, you know its a good referral. Rich got us in as soon as he opened, confirmed the fans werent working & got them replaced by 1:30. He never tried up selling us, checked & confirmed nothing else was wrong & never charged a diagnostic fee. Cost to repair was reasonable. I highly recommend them for any of your repair needs. Yes, given time I could have done the fan replacement myself, but because it couldnt be driven without damaging the heads from over heating, it was worth it to me to have it done so quickly.

My Niece took her truck in after her AC went out. She received an estimate for over $800. My mechanic purged and recharged the AC system for $45. Its been fine since. I took my truck in to see what would happen. This after my entire AC system was replaced approx. 4 months ago. Same scam, I received an estimate for over $600 including a new evaporator. When they pulled my truck around back, they refused to let me be present. Thats fine, but then when I did go to look at my truck, the owner was acting very aggressive and insisted I take his flashlight to look under my truck. It was 5PM, it was day light, it was surreal, I was being scammed. He then all of the sudden noticed my AC exhaust drain was plugged. It was not plugged when I arrived. Remember, this was a test, I made sure everything was in 100% working order before I arrived. He then acted surprised, and pinched the exhaust tube open and claimed there was AC oil inside the exhaust water, on the ground. What a douche bag. Anyone who knows anything about an AC system knows how big of a pile of BS this is. I reported both matters to the States Attorneys office. The owner is a liar and a crook.

Rich is an awesome guy. We take all of our cars to him. I have never met a more honest shop owner in my life! I trust nobody to touch my cars other than Rich!

Rich is a great mechanic, hes knowledgeable and honest! I wont bring my car anywhere else.

I’ve done a few cars here, Rich is very honest & when Firestone tells me $1,800. Car Cool’s estimate was $900... blowing ice cold. Thanks again

My pressure switch went bad on my tahoe. I put one on myself and took it there to have it recharged almost 200$. Ac blew cold for about 2 weeks and stopped again. I took it back to him and he claimed my switch I put in was defective and he insisted on replacing it and recharging it and he would stand behind that switch if failed again. 170$ wasted again. It blew cold for about 2 days. Brought it back to him and he know says the compressor is bad. Maybe he put too much freon in it and it blew out the seals? I have no idea but I will not be going back to him again. Like the other bad review said he tried pulling the flashlight out and showing me where the leak was. I saw where it was spraying out personally before I took it back to him. He was cocky about it when i asked what happened this time since he had been dealing with my wife up until now. He just says that he told her what was wrong with it already. Well Im here and Im a mechanic and I pay the bill so I want to be explained to. Then he pulls out his flashlight and goggles to explain. I definitely did not appreciate his tone he used to me for no reason and feel he stole almost 400$ from me and I only had working ac for 2 weeks after he fixed it. Horrible experience for me there and DO NOT reccomend rich to anyone.

I was headed out of town when my A/C started blowing hot air, occasionally cold. Rich made time for me and it turned out to be a simple problem, fixed pronto. It is not often to find such an honest business in the automotive field. Many thanks and I highly recommend to anyone!

Great place

Great customer service and very professional

I have always been pleased with the service.They can fix just about anything on your car.Fair, friendly and honest. I highly recommend Richs Car Cool.

I love this place. They charged me half of the amount the dealership was trying to charge me to fix my A/C. They are quick, fair priced and honest. I would recommend them!

Best mechanic and aircontion repairservice provider is been a family mechanic for more then 15 years.VERY REASONABLE PRICE TO. Thanks.

Went to local auto repair shop and was charged $56 for the evaluation and got estimate to replace the compressor for $1700. I was referred by a friend to Richs Car Cool and wasnt charged for the evaluation and the cost to install the compressor was less than half. He is my new GoTo guy for all auto repairs. His location is hidden, but well worth the find.

Rip off. I took my car here to have the AC Schrader valve replace and is still leaking I paid $120.00 down the drain. I went in today to the shop 9/29/2015 the guy is not there and will not pick up the phone neither. I wait 4-5 hrs outside to see if anyone was going to come nobody show up the place is close, plus there is a sing outside that say open Mon-Fri from 8 am to 6 pm .. Nice way of doing business, I paid somebody with money to do a honest job and this is what I get. God Bless You!!!

Rich took my call on a Sunday even though they were closed. Wifes A/C went out and he took me right in Monday morning and fixed it the same day. Im out a little bit of cash since it was the compressor, but Im sure he charged me less than other places would. Plus he gave me a one year warranty and Im sure if something happens before or right after that, hes the kinda mechanic that would make things right. Thanks Rich!

Got me in and helped figure out what was wrong will go back

Rich is honest, reliable and fair on price. We take our fleet vehicles there for A/C problems as well as other mechanical issues. They do alot more than just A/C service, just ask them and Rich will let you know his limits!

Good people.

I recently purchased a used car that had a very odd brake issue every since i bought it. I took it to my regular mechanic who told me it was the ABS system and wanted to charge a boat load of money to replace it. Rich diagnosed the issue correctly as a few bad brake lines and had me back on the road for a fraction on the price. Will be back the next time I have an issue.

Their quote was more than 30% less than my regular mechanic, the AC works perfectly, and they seem professional and friendly at the same time. Highly recommended.

Very honest, and great work. Had me cool again for so much less than the dealership I had asked about repairing my air first!

Great customer services! Honest and reliableThank you! !

Very friendly and knowledgeable, and cooperative.

FIRST OF ALL I TOOK MY CAR HERE FOR ONE THING AND END UP HAVING NO CAR THANKS TO THEM THEY WHERE SUPPOSE TO CHECK MY AC NOT MY OIL OR ANYTHING AT ALL HOW IS IT I TAKE MY CAR RUNNING TO THEM MIND YOU THAT MY VEHICLE WAS IN A VERY GOOD SHAPE AND THEN THEY CALL SAYING THAT THE MOTOR BROKE THESE PEOPLE WILL BE HEARING FROM ME SOON!!

Great car shop. Very honest and helpful.

Great place, they do a good job.

Professional care. Wonderful people and good prices..

Their time estimates on the work were all way off, but they got it done. Dont know that Id specifically recommend them over anyone else though.

Not friendly at all!! Lazy custoner service!!

This is a facility that you do not want to bring your car to the attitude of the workers suck and plane out take your money like leeches draw blood I paid $300 for them to fix a problem that they told me they will fix as soon as I pull off not even a hour later my AC didnt work anymore when I came back to asking him why he couldnt give me a direct answer and told me I should have just kept my $300 I repeat PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO THIS PLACE ITS A RIP OFF😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Great place and great service. Every time.

Told me $500 for a $50 fuel pump and 3 hours to drop the gas tank when there is an access panel to change this part in the trunk. You dont drop the tank at all. I guess he thought a woman would just believe him and dish out $700 on his word.

Great service.

Excellent service!
