Richie was great! Very helpful over the phone and kept his word about everything. Fast, friendly, courteous. Price was right after getting multiple quotes from other shops. Yelp reviews do not do his shop justice. Wouldn t take my car anywhere else.

Update March 24 after a previous 5-star review:I had a belt replaced here with no apparent problems until I got home. I get in my car later in the day and it s squealing in a way it wasn t before. I went back a couple days later, when my schedule permitted, and the same guy who did it ended up helping me. He remembered me, and I mentioned how the car started squealing like crazy later the same day after I left. Before I could say something like, I think it s something simple like there s not enough tension on the belt. Could we check and see what s going on? , he immediately gets defensive and tries to distance himself from any potential blame blame I wasn t even trying to place on anyone. He says that the car was perfectly fine after he was done and didn t make a sound when I left, which was true and I didn t try to imply otherwise. I just wanted to see what was going on and hoping it was a simple issue, like adjusting the tension on the belt. Another guy, one I ve dealt with before and who is incredibly friendly and helpful, ended up getting my car and showed me what he thought it was (a different belt that I should ve just had replaced at the same time as the other). The other guy was present throughout and was incredibly flippant about my comments about my car, one of which I was admittedly mistaken on, and ended up just walking away in an exasperated manner.At no point did I attempt to point fingers or claim any wrongdoing on the mechanic or the shop, but I was immediately met with an incredibly unfriendly attitude the moment I simply described the belt starting to drastically squeal after I left. It s possible the dude just had a bad day and I hope that s all it was; I hope that s not how he typically treats customers just looking to follow up on past work and see what s going on with their car. This place is a gem. The owner and the people working here are incredibly nice and eager to help out their community. They'll treat you and your car right.

Just moved to the area and needed a new mechanic. This place is fairly priced, reliable and fast. Customer service from Jimi was outstanding with a lot of communication and care. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Richie's has been taking care of our families vehicles for the last 20 years. They are professional, knowledgeable and always reasonably priced. They take pride in their work and have kept our family safe. I would highly recommend Richie's Airline Garage.

Called about some engine rebuild work 2days and seven phone calls later and all I got was the run around. Didn't even get a price quote for the work. Very bad customer service wouldn't advise going to them.

The guy checked me in was great, but the dude who just did my air conditioner inspection has some kind of attitude problem. I m not sure if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or what

I went in this past week to fix my ac evaporator... called a few other places and they were charging well over $1800... Spoke with Richie, told me he d give me a good deal and A DEAL he did. Dropped it off the next day, picked it up at the end of the day. Ac was back blowing cold! A few lights had turned on and some steering wheel adjustment was needed since they had to pull my whole dash. Randy took care of it the next day no extra charges or anything. They have become my new places for all my truck problems. I ll definitely keep going back. They were quick, easy, polite and straight to the point.Thanks guys.

I feel I was taken advantage of. I had to have 3 additional repairs before my car could leave his garage and everything was fine when I went in for initial repair. I went in under my maiden name but I was definitely there. I have every right to write reviews based on my experience and how I perceive a business. I'm glad if others had a good experience, I didn't.

After using many mechanic shops in and around the coastal bend I can honestly say this is by far the most professional and most reasonable priced shop I have had the pleasure of doing business with. The entire staff was extremely friendly, had great communication and my vehicle was completed as promised. I wouldn t trust anyone else with my vehicles but them.. Hats off to the owner and his great establishment .Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Air conditioning

Honest and dependable! Richie and his crew have been a huge blessing for my family and I while we ve been in town. Only been living in corpus for 6 months or so, and needed an honest mechanic we could trust to do the job right to keep our old cars on the road an our family safe. Richie and Randy have been nothing but helpful, fair and trustworthy!

One of the best A/C repairs in Corpus Christi. Richie will give you the best deal that won't break your pockets. Honest, and trustful. Simply put: "You take care of me, I'll take care of you" type of business. Thank you guys. Highly recommend Richie's Garbage. They are literally behind Church's Chicken on Airline.

Wholly incompetent! They charged for diagnosis, couldn't figure out what was wrong, changed my spark plugs and didn't fix anything.
