There is no doubt that they care about your car turning out the way you want it to be. I have relied on Curt and his shop to take care of four of my classic cars, but they do great work on the regular "run-of-the-mill" cars with equal care. When the Chevy dealer was basically telling us we'd have to scrap my wife's SUV because the front transfer case was not rebuildable or available, Curt found us a rebuilt and lifetime guaranteed part for $250. The whole job came in under $500. Better than buying a new car! Always friendly, always conscientious, always fair. You won't regret using Classic Auto Works.

Curt has both exceptional hands on skills as well as a deep understanding of the nuances of specialized automotive care. Curt very clearly enjoys problem solving to a full resolution and treats the vehicle as if it was his own. Moreover, he does not limit his attention solely to the presenting problem but inspects the entire engine, suspension, electrical and frame to look for future or unrecognized issues. This level of care and at most reasonable pricing makes Classic Auto Works my go to place for peace of mind automotive care. I recommend Curt and Jimmy without reservation.

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 have mixed, but mostly positive, opinions of this business. The staff seemed friendly, and I…read moreappreciate that they took the time to provide a thorough diagnosis of my vehicle. They confirmed that my spark plugs and wires were heavily worn by swapping the spark plug from cylinder 4 to cylinder 6, where the misfire followed the plug. That gave me confidence that the spark plug was the source of the issue. That being said, there were a few aspects of the experience that I think prospective customers should know about. First, the diagnostic fee was $180, which I felt was on the expensive side. I came in already suspecting that the issue involved the spark plugs and wires, so I wasn't expecting such an extensive diagnostic process. After discussing the repair with other mechanics, I also learned that removing and reinstalling older spark plugs can carry some risk on higher-mileage engines because aged plugs can seize or break during removal. Nothing went wrong in my case, but I would have appreciated that potential risk being explained before the diagnostic procedure was performed. Better communication would have gone a long way. I was also told, "I don't want to scare you into not driving this vehicle," while being encouraged to complete the repairs there. If there was a genuine safety concern, I appreciate hearing it, but I would have preferred a more practical conversation focused on the condition of the vehicle and my options rather than feeling pressure to make an immediate repair decision. Additionally, when I asked whether there were ways to reduce the cost, I was told the fuel system service could be postponed and completed later. That made me wish the recommendations had been presented from the beginning with a clearer distinction between what was necessary to address the misfire and what could reasonably be deferred as preventative maintenance. Ultimately, I chose to have the repairs completed elsewhere because I was able to supply my own parts and save money overall. Although Rick's labor estimate was higher ($468 compared to $200 elsewhere), the total repair cost ended up being lower because the other shop allowed me to provide my own parts. I don't believe this is a bad shop, and I think it's a friendly, family-owned business that performs thorough diagnostics. I'm simply encouraging customers to ask questions, understand the diagnostic costs and repair recommendations, and make the decision that best fits their own situation.

Very Disappointing Experience -- Perry Ford Lincoln of San Luis Obispo…read more Very disappointed with Daniel Bellamy. I contacted him about a used Lincoln Navigator, and he confirmed it was available. He knew I was driving from Manteca, about 4 hours away, specifically to see and potentially buy the vehicle. He even asked me to keep him updated on my ETA. If Daniel had told me someone else was seriously interested, I could have offered a deposit to secure the vehicle or simply not made the trip. I even texted him about 30 minutes before arriving, and he still gave me no warning. When I arrived, the Navigator was already sold. What really made me angry was seeing Daniel smiling and appearing very happy while I was standing there upset after driving all that way and not even getting the opportunity to see the vehicle. I found that extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. He did not apologize to me face-to-face; the apology came later by text. I understand vehicles get sold. That's not the problem. The problem is how Daniel communicated with me and handled the situation. A simple phone call could have saved me hours of driving. Very disappointing experience.
