He’s a great mechanic, is number one on phone list for when I break down, he’s very dependable and has not let me down.

Richie was punctual and extremely knowledgeable. He knew right away what to do and how to fix it without any run around. He got both cars running quickly and efficiently, I would highly recommend him and his service for all your car needs and concerns.

Fantastic experience with a great mechanic! My Subaru had a bent tie rod, Richie showed up promptly as scheduled, he diagnosed the problem quickly and went the extra mile literally because the parts needed were not available near by , he drove a little bit out of his way and got everything done that same morning, I stood by and he explained everything he did and was very transparent. Please tip the man if he does work for you it’s hard to find honest mechanics like Richie he’s my go to from now on 👍

Richie is the best auto mechanic one can ever dream of. He works on all type of cars, really knowledgeable, skillful, pay attention to details. I have two Land Rovers, and Richie has been my designated mechanic for the past two years. We replaced CV joints, brake rotors and pads, control arms’ bushing, etc. Besides wonderful service, his price is extreme reasonable. Moreover, He is always on time. The only concern is that he is almost always fully booked. You need to make an appointment at least 4-5 days ahead. I am not surprised. Everyone wants a good mechanics.

With not many good people to trust out there now a days, Rich is a righteous and stand out dude for the service and dedication he puts in to making sure everything is right and how it should be with your vehicle. I owe him a lot for the help and care over he provided me and I will not have my cars looked at by anyone else. And he comes out to you with all the tools to do the job…no brainier Thank you Rich!

I'm going through my mid life crisis. I had sold my 1965 GT Fastback that I had owned for my whole life when my kids were about four years old. They are now 24 and 22 years old and my wife agreed to let me buy another one. Not only did I buy a 65 GT FB, but I also bought a 1970 Boss 302 because like I said, I'm going through a mid life crisis and always wanted one. My Boss 302 clutch went out on the way home from the East Coast where I bought it. My regular mechanic was busy and normally only works on BMW's and my red GT had been sitting for a few months at his shop so I needed to find a new mechanic to help out. I went online and searched and luckily found Richie Rich after reading all the reviews (yes even the one negative). I wasn't going to marry the guy I just needed to know if he could fix my car. He showed up on time and was very responsive. He got to work right away and pulled the clutch assembly apart. He had to remanufacture the replacement clutch assembly to do the job correctly because the previous mechanic rigged it to "just make it work". I want things done correctly. He then gave me the name of his muffler/exhaust guy and had any future problems solved. He showed up there to make sure it was done properly and further adjust the clutch since it was on a lift. Since fixing the clutch issue I'm having him replace the power steering hoses which are leaking because it was clamped when it need to be screwed in. He is also taking care of some window trim that will make the car basically in fully mint condition. I am going to include a picture of my mint 1965 GT Fastback which Richie will take care of next week because it just needs a distributor and some wires. I wouldn't trust anyone else to work on my classics because he is hard working, honest and has a very fair price. I even refered Richie to my neighbor who has a 1990 Corvette (paper weight) sitting in his garage for ten years not running. I would not hesitate to call Richie Rich. I'm actually worried that my review will keep him too busy to help me in the future.

Richie is not the great mechanic that he used to be. He smokes too much pot and makes mistakes because of it. Avoid him at all times.

Helped me install a new altenator in my car an he does a good job ... most reliable service an professional .. i will recommend him
Nov 17, 2021
I Was very skeptical going to a new mechanic, but I desperately wanted to get away from the dealership. Richie was prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. He even followed up with me the next day to see how my car was driving. He definitely does not seem like a person that is trying to rip you off. I Would recommend him!

Richie truly comes as a rescue to us. We are so grateful that we find him. My husband almost ran into a car accident due to a bad alternator. He changed the battery twice but the car kept going down. Richie came Tuesday morning (2nd day after I found him from google review), ahead of our appointment, and looked at our Odyssey van, and quick identified the alternator was THE ISSUE. He even went online to find a good deal of alternator for us, and came to replace the alternator shortly, with a very reasonable price. He was terrific and extremely helpful. My son has some issues with his bicycle on the day Richie came to replace the alternator, he KINDLY fix my son's bicycle on the same day!!!! I highly recommend to Richie to anyone!!!

Guy shows up half an hour EARLY (Awesome! like who does that anymore?) - Did what needed to be done, explained all the other potential issues (but didnt try to get more work out of it) and was fair pricing. Very nice guy - complete trust in his abilities and workmanship. Will use him again - without question. I mean how many times have I taken cars to my mechanic only to be told that he will get to it later......This was super convenient and was my first experience with a mobile mechanic - like very much. Do know that I had to get on his calendar which was booked out 6 days or so but my issue wasnt time critical...Thanks Rich.

Very professional and prompt service, I had ordered some incorrect parts and he helped me get everything sorted and fixed up proper. Great value great customer service 10/10 would recommend

Always on time "or early".Hohonest, If he tells you it needs to be replaced it does. Better hourly rate the most shops. And you don't have to go anywhere. He comes to you. You can't go wrong. He has done work for me seven times and my 2006 vehicle is running like new
Nov 17, 2019
He did a very good job, ran into a problem that wasn't his fault and fixed it at no extra charge even though it added more time to the job. Good dude!

I can't not say enough fantastic things about Rich and his prompt and professional work! Rich has been with me through multiple cars over many years and done everything from replacing spark plugs to brake pads to the catalytic converter. I do not trust anyone else with my car and have recommended him to all my family and friends. You will not find a mechanic with more integrity or a stronger work ethic. Always as accommodating as possible, even when prospective clients have ridiculous demands, he is straightforward about the necessary repairs and does high quality work. Thank you, Rich, for all your help over the years and everything you've done to keep me and all your other clients' vehicles running great!

I took my car to 2 other machanics and my car kept having the same issue. I contacted Rich as a recommendation from a friend. I set an appointment Rivh was already there waiting for me and i showed up 5 min before out set time. He was able to resolve my issue with in an hour. . He is honest and.is a man of integrity. After 8 months of being worh him as my machanic I will no longer have to search for an honest mechanic.
