From the first day thru until completion, Ted and the boys at Transmission For Less were super friendly and very professional. They even invited me into the workshop to show me the issues they found with my transmission. I would highly recommend going to see Ted if you're having any issues with your vehicle's transmission.

Ruiz was going to do it for $4,800 but I asked them to install 2 shift kits. With the shit kits it came to $5,500 out the door programming and all. It's only been a couple of weeks and a few hundred miles but so far my "new" transmission is great! I hope I never need them but if I have a transmission issue, I'll be back for sure.

A Shop With A Heart & Quality Work If you're on vacation,…read moretraveling through the Santa Maria area, a local resident with an unexpected car drivability problem, or just plain looking for an honest, down-to-earth shop that provides quality work, don't fret! There is such a shop that you can trust without hesitation! For the past three years, the repairs and services on my 2012 Ford Escape and 2012 VW Turbo S Coupe have been handled solely at Rick's Car Care, without a worry or hesitation on my part about their qualifications to do the work right the first time. Needless but necessary to state, the estimate and cost of the work to be done are reasonable, not inflated. What makes Rick's Car Care stand out above other family-owned independent automotive repair and service shops? To begin with, it is founded on old-school customer service, honesty, and quality work. Something that is becoming extinct when deep-pocket corporations purchase shops from retiring owners. However, a bright light shines on the answer to this dark auto repair and service scenario: Rick's Car Care! A family-owned independent shop owned by Erick Enright and his wife, Amanda, that remains steadfast in providing great customer service and the highest-quality repairs and services to its clientele. If you are seeking honest, friendly shops that provide quality work, I highly recommend this shop not just as a John Q. Public customer, but also as a former sole proprietor and automotive technician at a local shop.

I am planning on getting a new one soon and simply wanted to get an urgent job done (alternator), and they made sure to explain and disclose the other jobs from severe to less serious, and ensure that I can make my own decision without any fluff or salesmanship. They seem like genuine people which I appreciate. The price is fairly decent and they even took off half of the $180 inspection cost given that I needed to get a job done. Originally, I was told it would take until 4:30 (I arrived around 9) to have my two jobs done and they finished by 1:30. They were pretty busy too. Anyways, super cool people and business, and I recommend giving them a visit.

I recently took my 2002 330ci in, due to the anti-lock and brake lights coming on and the blower…read moremotor for the heater/AC had gone out. The total charge for each item I requested a diagnosis on was $185 PER ITEM. For a total of $780+ Not only did they misdiagnose a cracked valve cover, as a leaky gasket, they misunderstood an issue with the automatic seat memory and charged me anyway. The cost to replace the ENTIRE valve cover was less than they quoted for the gasket replacement. Now we get to the good stuff. Their price to replace the blower motor was 575% higher than a comparable shop. The new fan works just fine thanks! Once I got quotes from another shop for the recommended maintenance, I knew I would NEVER take my car to them for anything! Overall their prices tended to be a minimum of 100% OVER that of a comparable shop. Oh, and they recommended a fuel injector cleaner be added to my gas tank, the cost of that product online was roughly $22.00, their cost to add it to my tank? $53! So to have an employee unscrew the cap and pour it in was $31? Now, they have sent me several discount coupons toward service in their shop... Thanks, but NO THANKS!
