Rick is fantastic. I found him on CL, and he basically runs a mobile auto repair service, as well as working out of his house. This guy is no slouch. I do know a bit about cars, so I know what I am talking about. the guy charged me half of what a regular shop would charge to replace my steering column after some crackheads tried to steal my car. I went over to pick up my car after he fixed it, and he fixed other things too without even me asking! The guy is awesome. He is very personable, even calling me the day I picked up the car to make sure I got home ok.
PS I am not Rick, nor am I a friend of his, just a customer.
I'm sorry if you got a bad experience from him, mine have been fine.
Very cheap, VERY thorough, and extremely knowledgeable.
