Went in to have my blinker worked on. I was told it would be at least $500 and could be up to $1,500. I bought a blinker switch for $100 and installed it in 20 minutes. My prior experience with a radiator problem took 3 trips. Each time I was told it was fixed and it still over heated. Over priced, poor customer service and poor quality work

Ron’s treated me well. Not the cheapest but the service was done in time and I felt like they were honest and nailed the problem first go. I feel their rate is justified for the professional service they provide. I’ll be using them again.

Love this place. They are so honest and do their due diligence on figuring out the correct issues with the vehicle. I had taken my cars to dealer and another shop and went to get a second opinion and they saved me money on multiple times on not repairing things that didn’t need to be repaired. Would recommend this place!

Wonderful as usual. Beside oil change they did a detailed inspection. Now that covid restrictions are less will venture out and about. Wanted to make sure that after a year of minimal driving that my car was up to an adventure I am reassured that all is well. I trust them with my car/life

After not feeling like my service was up to the standard I had heard about for Rons Automotive, Ray reached out to me to find a solution to make it right. I look forward to him following through on the offer to correct the situation for me and future clients.

I had cracked injector sleeves in my 2002 Ford 7.3 diesel. Rons had to take the whole engine apart to repair. They were very communicative throughout the whole process. The repair was made in a very timely manner! They also tested everything and made sure everything was working properly before I picked it up. I would definitely recommend Rons Automotive.

They were friendly and professional. They checked out my car for any other maintenance needs and provided a cost for each service. I was not pressured to add on any other services at this time which will allow me to budget in the future. This was a very different experience from the dealership!

Ray and Brian were very honest, helpful, and patient with me. They got my Xterra running perfectly in a short amount of time, and the price charged seemed more than fair. My favorite shop, very trustful and knowledgeable, and would highly recommend.

I have a friend who knows the manager well at this shop. I had a TIPM fail and had my car towed there. There was a check engine light and the car wouldn’t start. I got a quote in reasonable time the next morning. They charged 2 hours and had a call to me by 9am. They had located a failed TIPM. I had asked Brian to have the tech double check the grounds. Brian stated that the tech found a loose ground and couldn’t later tell me where. Also, the tech cleared the check engine code without recording it somehow. They took 1 hour to tell me I had a failed piece I already knew about and did not appropriately log or remember the code. I called Ray, the manager and stated that I was charged 150 for the check scan that wasn’t successful, and had a hard time not staying the simple fact that they didn’t have enough time in the day to pull the car in and diagnose in 2 hours opening at 8. Ray stated that the charge is the charge and that the tech did not need to state any detail of the findings, only the diagnosis. When I reviewed the labor and parts, it was 2200 plus to repair and they did not help me in any way. I even prepaid and they wouldn’t leave the car for me in the lot. This looks to be a β€œbuyback” shop who likes to lock up these cars and hope that they are abandoned. The TIPM took a week remanufactured for 2008 dropped in with no tools but a single 12mm and took 30 min. Replaced and repaired for $188 compared to there 2200. Everyone was disrespectful. It would have been much better to not β€œknow” anyone. Worst shop experience of my life, but my car runs fine now. Thanks to me. Expensive and just an average old dishonest shop who laughs at your customers.

I had diagnostic services and the replacement of a water pump, battery and spark plugs. They did the workprofessionally to the highest standard.

Review β„–17

I brought my sons 2003 Toyota Tacoma in that was having a clutch issue. There was no pressure in the clutch pedal which generally is a hydraulic issue. When I was contacted after they looked at it they told me that it was not a hydraulic issue and it would be $2500 to put in a new clutch and in addition needed a transmission service. I opted to get a second opinion and took the truck to an independent mechanic who verified that it was indeed a hydraulic issue and only had to replace the master and slave cylinders and the clutch worked perfect for less than $500. Needless to say I will never do any business with Ron’s Automotive in the future.

Review β„–18

Ron’s was fantastic. The fan and regulator to blow air into the car had burned out. This was becoming more of a problem as the colder weather was causing condensation on the front window and I needed to be driving quickly in order for air to flow into the car to evaporate the condensate. I called, got in the same day and my car was back with me the next day. They were fantastic to work with, professional and even offered pick up and drop off service! I will definitely be coming back to them for my automotive needs.

If you remember when they had a shop in Hazel Dell on SE 78th, theyve moved all repairs to Cascade Park on SE 1st Street off SE 164th across from Parkrose Hardware.The Hazel Dell location is now a collaboration with Alpine Collision. Appointments are recommended as they start early. I left my car there and was given a ride home and picked back up via their shuttle service. Both of my drivers, Talia in the morning taking me home and Adam in the afternoon picking me up were great. Once inside there is a plexiglass window on the counter, available hand sanitizer and if you dont have a mask when you get in the shuttle, one will be provided for you. I received a detailed inspection report, replete with pictures and ratings. Ray was my Service Advisor and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. Whenever Ive needed dependable, quality auto service, I always choose Rons Automotive.

My car is doing great. I have probably driven 50 miles since I got it back and all is well. I feel confident with the quality of the repair.I was referred to Rons Automotive back in 1999 when I first moved to Vancouver. It is the only place I have taken my cars to for mechanical problems. I trust that they are honest and want their customers to feel safe and secure when they leave the lot.

Rons Automotive has a staff of world-class professionals they were courteous, understanding and above all efficient on what needed to happen.They kept me updated on the progress and had my vehicle fixed and running in a timely manner.

Review β„–26

My 2012 dodge charger driver side vent wasnt blowing hot air, although the passenger side was.I originally went to a local dealership thinking they would be the expert on my 2012 Dodge Charger. After having it for a full day and a half for a diagnostic the dealership told me I had a bad heater core. Now I doubled checked this online and it didnt make sense to me. I called Rons Automotive and spoke with Bryan. I explained the situation and he also felt this was likely not correct as the passenger side heat still functioned and if it was indeed a heater core, there would be zero heat. Keep in mind the dealership wanted to charge me $1600 for a new heater core.So I took my car to Rons for a 2nd opinion. They did an inspection and upon performing a simple recalibration of my bleed door actuators found that My driver Side vents now correctly blew heat.Going to Rons literally saved me $1600 and days of being without my car. I was very impressed with the sincerity, honesty and professionalism of Bryan and his team. They earned a customer for life as I now know who I can trust with both my cars.

Everyone I talked to was extremely nice. I really appreciated the amount of communication. I went in to identify an oil leak in an old SUV. They found the obvious one and then took the time to find another. It took a couple days because my SUV is old and they had to order parts (they actually fabricated a couple minor parts that werent made any longer). During the process they kept me very well informed about what was happening and why it was happening, even took the time to explain where the leaks were coming from.I felt the price was well worth the service and work performed.Ill definitely be going back when something else pops up!

My Honda ridgeline is my daily driver so invaluable as I have to work during the pandemic. Rons auto gave me a good quote for the work needed on my 2008, answered all my questions, made the neccessary repairs, returning it to me on time and in a sanitized environment. I have been driving on their work for the last few weeks; so I waited to post this review, everything is going right! Ladies if you are handling your car repairs by yourself, I recommend this business, fair pricing, honest descriptions and work. I was recommended to this shop from another satisfied customer, one of my co-workers. I will come back when something else needs work.

Ron’s automotive exceeded my expectations of not only quality care but also went above and beyond to find the issue with my car and get me back on the road quickly. They worked with me every step of the way from giving me options and possible issues related to my explanation over the phone, to diagnosing the problem and giving financing options. They happily and courteously answered all my questions throughout the many phone calls I made. I do not think I will ever take my vehicles anywhere else!

They provided prompt updates and included pictures to support findings.Excellent service center and the evolution of auto care!

The staff at Ron’s Automotive went out of their way today to help me retrieve my daughter’s cell phone that had fallen into the back hatch of my car. It was not visible from the outside and, not being a car expert, I was at a loss. A 15 minute stop at Ron’s and they had me on my way with no damage to either my car or the phone. I really appreciate the time they took to help me. I will definitely head to Ron’s if I need any additional body work done.

Professional, timely, realistic, overall a fantastic shop for your car.Had a power steering problem and warning light. I’m not from the area and Ron’s had good reviews. They took the car in and gave me realistic expectations for time, didn’t get my hopes up or give me doom and gloom. Called when they had updates and they were honest with their prices. They also gave me a ride to where I needed to go after I dropped the car off. My car was done much earlier than expected and they explained the reason for each service they performed and even let me see the tire that caused the problem in the first place. I will use Ron’s again in the future.

Our family has been dealing with Rons Automotive for a number of years now and its great to have a reliable go-to place instead of the dealer. The staff is friendly and go out of their way to accommodate schedules. The work recommended and completed on my car has always been top notch. I made my appointment for some service recommendations online and a quote was sent by email for me to confirm what was to be done. I spoke with Ray on the phone and he worked with me to modify what would be done to my car. I took the car in for the appointment at 8:30 am and all work was completed the same day. Because Rons didnt have time for a car wash and inside cleaning, they let me know I could come back the following Monday to have that done. Yes, car repair is expensive for many issues, but its so much less than paying for a new vehicle. And I have the satisfaction and confidence that my car is running in top shape with warranties in place for the work thats been done. Thank you, Rons!!

I have been bringing my cars to Rons Automotive since moving to the Vancouver area 10 years ago. We purchased a used car that was assessed by a Rons Auto. mechanic and who recommended the purchase in 2013. The car has continued to run reliably without any major problems.Ray has always called with a diagnosis and recommendations so I am included in the decisions of how to proceed. He provides sound advice, considering priority and immediacy of the work recommendations along with my financial concerns. Also, they test drive to confirm that the work has resolved the problem.I have and will continue to recommend them.~p. okubo

Very customer service oriented! They replaced my alternator and even tried to save me money by calling my previous autoshop to see if it was still under warranty, since I only had it replaced 3 years ago. Unfortunately it was no longer under warranty. Previous autoshop only offered a 2 year warranty. Rons Automotive offers a 5 year or 50,000 mile warranty on parts and a 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty on labor. I also get 2 years of roadside assistance. Win win in my eyes!

I have brought in my 2015 GMC Yukon because it was leaking coolant. Upon inspection of the lines Ron’s automotive told me it’s a bad head gasket and it would cost $5000 to fix. I had my doubts about this diagnosis so I took my suv to a different shop for second opinion. Within 15 minutes he the mechanic found the leak in the reservoe and told me that will be around $150 dollar fix. I have no words to describe my frustration and anger. Ron’s automotive would rip apart perfectly good engine and charge me $5000 for this fix. Please for your own good DO NOT USE Ron’s Automative on 164th. They have incompetent mechanics and bad service!!!

I moved to Vancouver in June so I wasnt familiar with local automotive shops. I found Rons Automotive on Yelp and am so happy I went to them.Ray was the person I dealt with and helped get me scheduled to have four new tires installed on my SUV and even picked out the best ones for my vehicle.The day I dropped my vehicle off I told Ray about a small nick I had in my windshield and asked if they could fix it while putting my tires on. He said no problem and they took care of it.They even shuttled me back home and picked me up when my vehicle was finished which was surprising quick. The shuttle driver Bill was extremely friendly and I enjoyed our conversation about Vancouver during our drive.My entire experience was great and I highly recommend them! Rons Automotive is going to be my go to mechanic for all my future vehicle needs.

I called in to get an estimate to repair a front passenger side window regulator and was told that it was $149 for the inspection, and that most of the time the repair could be done for the $149. I dropped my car off at the shop and was never called and I finally called around 4:30 and I was told that the regulator was bad and that they would replace the regulator as well as the window motor for over $700. Excuse Me???!!! I paid $1,000 to have the rear end replaced on the same vehicle. $700 seemed quite steep compared to other shops that quoted around $300 for the same repair. Due to the fact that the shop closed at 5pm, I had to wait until 10am the next day to get my car back, which made me hours late for work. I ended up calling a mobile repair company that comes out to you, and I only paid $259. It sucks that I paid another $149 just to find out that I was ultimately going to be ripped off!!! Everyone that I tell about the cost agrees that $700 is quite extreme and that the repair must be labor intensive. Again, it only took the mobile tech 25 minutes to do the repair. WHAT A SCAM!!!

Great place - very honestI have been using Rons now for about 13 years and have always loved their service and trusted their honesty; especially as a woman. When I took my last car in to have the very squeaky breaks replaced, they said nope, just needs some cleaning; still at 60%. Most recently my daughter had to call them and since they were about to close on a Friday night, Brian said hed stop by our place on his way home to look at her car which wouldnt start. He ran a few simple tests, looked at the failed DEQ sheet (her dad bought it the week prior without ever having it looked at) and was honest enough to say that he wouldnt fix it; it wasnt worth it; sell it for parts.I will continue to take my vehicles to Rons and recommend them to everyone

After leaving disappointed with the service that I got, Ray reached out to me to apologize for the situation and offered to perform the alignment that I needed free of charge. While this was not my intent, I took him up on his offer.I am giving two stars because I should have asked how much an alignment was prior to even making the trip.I made an appointment to have an alignment done on a 2003 Jeep Wranlger and was told that I needed to pay $39.95 for them to determine if it needs an alignment. I knew it needed an alignment due to my new tires not wearing evenly. I left my car there for a couple of hours and was called to tell me that it does need an alignment (I knew that) and that it would be nearly $300. That is absurd. When I voiced my opinion that was an outrageous price for an alignment, I was told that some of the components are difficult to get to. Uhm, no theyre not. Needless to say, I declined the work and had to pay the $39.95+ tax to have someone tell me something that I already knew.Lesson - if you know what youre looking to have done, get it quoted beforehand and shop the price.

Fast and good service but youll pay A LOT for it. Rons does not apply the fee for diagnostics to your total bill if you get the service (which every other place weve been to will, so we didnt even think to ask). They charged top dollar for parts, because they only use the cars manufacturer parts/fluids and charge over the dealership costs as they will warranty their work for longer). This makes sense for a new car, so if thats your jam, I supposed it could be worth it. If you have an older car, or you are cost conscious, go somewhere else.

Always pleasant & professional. The cars always run great after they have been in the shop.

1. Was surprised an $85 service inspection was to a large extent just reading the maintenance manual recommendations for service at a given mileage. For example, new shocks and struts were recommended for $750 even though I had new ones last year. I can read the manual - I was looking for advice based on physical examinations by experts.2. Prices seemed high for recommended maintenance:$180 to replace the battery. I got one at Costco for $89 and put it in in 5 minutes$830 for plug replacement and injector system maintenance versus an Alan Webb quote of $505. Even if your process is superior I cant imagine getting $325 of extra value versus one used by a Mazda dealer.It makes me wonder if I overpaid for the differential and transfer case work.I like Rons facility and all the help seemed very knowledgeable.

I had 2 broken bolts behind my manifold in my 2016 wrx and I really needed it fixed ASAP because I was going to get the car tuned on Friday. Called them on monday and was able to leave my car there and I’m amazed of the quality of the work they were able to accomplish having it ready the next day. Tought I would need to get a new manifold. Great customer service and quality work definitely recommend

Friendly staff and nice, clean front office area. I brought my car in because it failed emissions. I picked it up the day after I dropped it off, drove about 40 miles to reset my cars computer, and got it through emissions, no problem. They also took care of a few other things for me as well. I paid quite a bit less than they quoted me too!

I own a 1999 Dodge 1500 that I bought one year ago from a good friend. He kept it good repair and did all the little things to keep it that way. Since I am not quite the mechanic he is, I needed a place I could trust. Rons has been that place. The service has been excellent and they are honest as well. When I asked them to flush the coolant in addition to some other services they informed me that my coolant was still good. Another place might have performed the service anyway just to make more money. Lastly, when their shuttle service was too busy they called me an Uber. I couldnt be happier!

Rons is awesome. They have cared for 3 of my vehicles over many years. I have used their car care and auto body repair shop.I can always trust Rons. They do expert work in a timely manner always at a fair price. They dont just change the oil. They examine the car and tell me if anything else is needed. Rons never suggests work that is not needed. I appreciate that.Their staff is proficient and friendly. I am so happy I can trust my car to Rons.Dianne2006 Nissan

Radiator on my 2000 Xterra SE 3.3 cracked and needed replacing as well as the oil pan. Had it towed to Ron’s on a Sunday. Went in on Monday to hand them the keys. Issue was diagnosed in a few hours. Parts took only a day to come in and the vehicle was serviced and ready for pick up at 8:15am Thursday. This is the 3rd time I have used Ron’s and they have yet to fail to provide quality service. I will continue to use Ron’s for future vehicle services.
