I brought in my 06 Crv the car has other issues, but this one was more paramount. The car started to overheat. It was last minute and his lot looked full. I called to see if rich could get the work done and he said sure come on in. He took care of the problem promptly and gave me suggestions for other issues. He didn't push me and gave me advice. The price for the repairs were very reasonable and you can tell this mechanic cares for his customers. I had my car back the same day it was the thermostat and two coolant sensors. I wish I could give more stars excellent service and had the car back quickly. Thank you rich and his team for everything. I was very impressed and will be bringing my vehicle back for all further repairs.

I went to Richie s because it was the only place that was open on Sunday near where I was. I called and was informed to go to a nearby gas station and put some oil in my car before heading to him. I was stressed because my car had no oil in it and i had just gotten an oil change a week and a half ago. Richie and his mechanic were very polite, knowledgeable and thorough when looking at my car. They immediately found my oil filter was not placed on properly and ran order test to be sure that was the problem. They also found that the old oil that was placed on my car was never removed and also showed me the dark black muddy looking oil they removed from the car. For obvious reasons i was upset but was put at ease by Richie s due to their expertise. I would recommend anyone go here who wants honest and excellent service. I will definitely be returning.

I ve been here twice now and received excellent service both times. The first visit was for a flat tire. They plugged it quickly and The price was shockingly low. The second visit was for tire inflation and inspection, super fast service. Highly appreciate this place.

Great service! Amazing shop! Richie and team are fantastic. I came in the morning following an accident, was taken care of right away and able to pick up my car fixed in the afternoon. Perfect timing! Good, fair price that made me relieved during a stressful day. Highly recommend!!!

Great place. Amazing service. Kind and intelligent people. And was ready to help in an emergency. Put his whole family aside to go buy another hose for our car. And so I came here to talk about my experience and it seems I'm not the only one. More than 70 others also had a great experience and I recommend this place. There's only one 1 star review for "not answering calls or Google text chat" and that's what makes these small businesses better than others. They don't have time to deal with Google or all this tech. They're busy working on the cars. Amazing job.

Richie and his guys were absolutely amazing. I called to get my tires rotated. They took me right in. When they finished I said OK can I pay you. The owner Richie said no we don t charge for that . You don t come across people like that anymore. I couldn t believe it. I highly recommend them not only are they fast and efficient. They re kind and they do a great job. Will definitely be returning in the future 10/10 Service: Tires

By far the best experience I've ever had at a mechanic. First of all, Richie drove me home (with his son in the backseat) and picked me up when the work was done. Secondly, I hadn't changed the oil for over two years in my old car, and the light was on when I brought it in. They ended up having to do a second oil change because it was so bad. I tried to pay for the second oil change, but he wouldn't let me. I'll def be going more regularly, I avoided it before because I have a dread of getting work done on my car (especially as a woman, ladies know what I mean) but it's really nice to have found a trustworthy shop!!Service: Oil change

We were on vacation in the area and had a mechanical problem. It was the only car repair center open on Memorial Day. We were worried about having to wait a few days for the repair, as we had to go home the next day. The owner gave us great service. He checked our car quickly, understood our need to be serve before de next day and repaired the car immediately with no extra charge for the emergency repair.Great service!Thank you!Service: General repairs

Fantastic service!Got a flat on July 3rd evening, called on July 4 and they picked up! They showed up to where my car was parked since it was not drivable, took tire off the car and to their shop. Patched it, came back, and reinstalled it.Would definitely do business with again, thank you gentlemen for the assist!

I spoke to him two times and he said he would come over to check my transmission with computer and no call and no show. If he didn't want to check, no problem. I don't think he wanted to get involved with this type of work.

Called and made an appointment.Need work done on my older car.He took it in and worked on it and charged me a very reasonable price for all of their time.Received a ride to and from and that was more than appreciated.Was very good to my old car.Trustworthy service.!!Very caring, honest, and a family business.I would definitely give them a try !!I'm here to add that this hard working mand and his crew literally saved me today. Batteryalternator. Autoo zone couldnt do anything in the rain.Then my car died. Richie and his worker came to check on it found out it was the alternator. They set ke up to drive it to the shop and followed me there, for my safety.Very, very busy man but him and his mecahnic worked on my car and I have it back at the end of the day.I can't say enough good things about Richie and his business.So refreshing to say the very least.You won't go wrong choosing Richies !!!

I have never met a more honest and hardworking group of mechanics.I was traveling from Canada to a very important art show I was exhibiting at and my car broke down in Ellensville. Lucky for me because Richies garage went over the top to make sure I made it to my show. Forever in this shops debt, can t thank them enough

First, this isn't Kenny. It's his Fiance, Dawn. Now that we have that out of the way, the whole shop is courtious, friendly, and fair in their pricing. Whenever I think I'm going to lose an arm in repairs, I'm pleasantly surprized at what they charge for parts and repair. They have an ethic that restores my fath in automotive repair shops. I hope they outlive me, because I intend to give them all my business. Honesty is extremely important to me. They live up to my expectations Every. Single. Time.

Amazing service! Richie helped me out with a flat tire. It was towards the end of the day but Richie saw it through. The charges were actually much lower than I thought! The mechanics and assistants were so friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong with Richie's tires if you need any help with your car..

Richie to the rescue! We had a flat tire and were stranded on Saturday coming up from New York City. We had AAA put a donut on - made our way to Walmart where we hoped to get some help at their big auto department - but were turned away. We at least were able to buy a tire there but what good was that if we couldn t get it out on the car?Fortunately my friend Colleen told us to call Richie and immediately he was able to help us. We drove to his auto shop with his excellent directions and he not only fixed our new tire but checked all the rest! He was amazing - professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Just what someone who is in trouble on the road needs.And the bill was so reasonable. Many times you can get scalped when you are in this situation but he was honest and fair.Richie to the Rescue if you ever need a great mechanic! He s great!Service: Tires

Richie's shop took great care of my Land Cruiser. They removed the old tint, swapped out my tires, and diagnosed a fuel pump issue. Fantastic work, great prices, and honest, straight forward advice. Great people and glad to have them in Ellenville.

I came here when the check engine light came on on my Wrangler. So I came to Richie s s for them to look at it. I explain the situation to them, and they took their time to diagnose the car and let me know what s wrong with it.Because I was already going to a different body shop to get some other repairs done They told me that it wasn t worth it for them to hold onto it and fix it and said I should just go where I was already planning to go and bring my business there. I thanked them for their help and insisted on paying them, but they said it was OK since even though they spent their time diagnosing the issue, they didn t do any work on the car.I really appreciate that they went through to that length to help me, and even though They didn t work with this time around, I ll definitely go to their shop if there s ever a problem in the future. I definitely trust these guys, and highly recommend them.
