Richens Car Service. 7/24/26 Kelly, Kent, Hunter and the owner Steve do things right in my opinion. I know when I leave my vehicle in their hands they will use the right parts that will make your vehicle run the way it should for a long time. Their mechanics have many years of experience and all have stayed there…

These are the greatest group mechanics I’ve ever met. Every single time we come in, they bend over backwards to try to help us with whatever our needs are. Even if they’re busy and we come day of in an emergency, and they don’t have time, they somehow seem to make time. They are honest, they don’t try to sell you…

Richins Auto Service folks have been and continue to be our “go to guys” for a number of years maintaining my Jeeps ( 2—2014 & 2021 Grand Cherokee) and 2014 Mazda CRX 5. They are always friendly & helpful and their prices are very competitive. And of course their work is professional and well done.
