All the workers there were kind and explained everything in great detail.
Nice people 😊. Fixed the car problems at good prices AND offered concierge service too 👍. Kept me informed all along the way. No surprises 👍. Good Shop ….would highly recommend 😊.
We had a fantastic experience with Ron's Auto Repair Center! We had a wheel bearing and axel failure on our truck with a truck camper installed. They worked on our rig with the camper installed, and Keith was fantastic at communicating what needed to be done and the cost. The entire team was great, and they…
We've used Ron's for several years now and have always been very happy with them.
I've been taking my cars to Ron's Auto for over 10 years. They always shoot me straight and don't try to upsell things I don't need. My expectations have been met or exceeded every time. This most recent visit, I appreciated the time they took to explain the repair process, why it was necessary and the pros & cons…
I have been using Rons Auto for several years now and I have always had good experiences. They are honest, timely and always get the job done!
They went above and beyond for me. I have recommended them to everyone I know!
AMAZING, had it towed in this morning. They got me my estimate quickly and had my power steering and brakes fixed by the end of the day. Very grateful for their work.
My parents and I have been a loyal customers for many years! They are always professional, and they will give me a call if they find anything. Because of Ron’s Auto, I’ve been able to keep my 20-year-old car in excellent condition and running beautifully since buying it all those 20 years ago. Great job!
They tell whats wrong with car and offer to fix it. Its as simple as that
I called Ron’s because we were in desperate need to have our working truck fixed. The truck started having a deep sound on the drivers side and within one day it became worst to the point that we felt like it was not safe for us to drive. We are contractors and we travel for work, the owner kindly assisted me and…
Very friendly and reliable. Had a pre-call/text. In the day of, called to let me know the problems and gave me the price. Price was lower than I expected. Got the service done the same day and when I went in to pickup my vehicle, the gentlemen at the counter were very polite. Will use Ron’s for future service needs.
Great service and follow up. A year ago, I took my car to another service, for the same brake issue, and they never fixed it. Ron's Auto solved the problem and even offered a small discount.
I had used Ron's a couple times in the past. The first time everything went well. I thought the price/efficiency was worked out to be a good value. The second time I needed brakes on my kids' car. I though the quote was high, but I needed them quickly and the brakes were in bad shape, so I didn't want to drive it…
