During my recent state inspection of my 2021 Toyota Tacoma, I encountered several issues that were…read morenot addressed satisfactorily. The inspection revealed a dime-sized chip on my windshield, which occurred in January 2022. Despite being sealed, the chip was deemed unacceptable. Additionally, the front struts, tires, and rear shocks were also found to be in need of repair. The total cost for these repairs was estimated at $2,657. When I inquired about the necessity of replacing the rear shocks, as I had already done in October due to a squeaking sound, Ricks Auto and Tires informed me that it was recommended to replace both shocks and front struts simultaneously but not necessary. But yet it still failed inspection? However, the squeaking persisted, prompting me to take the vehicle to Smithfield Toyota. There, I was informed that the squeaking was caused by a faulty bushing on my leaf springs. The truck's undercarriage was otherwise in excellent condition. Toyota of Smithfield did not say I needed front struts. Ricks Auto and Tires response was dismissive, stating that Toyota doesn't know what they are looking at. Regarding the windshield, Rick's Auto and Tires indicated he would overlook the chip on the passenger side, as it was sealed. While I agreed with the assessment of the tires and had them replaced at Town Fair Tire, not with Ricks Auto and Tires. I visited the state garage. My vehicle was passed without any issues, and without fixing anything that Ricks Auto and Tires informed me that I was required to make before it would pass inspection. They attempt to deceive customers into fixing issues that were not present. In conclusion, I am deeply concerned about the lack of transparency and accountability in this situation. Ricks Auto and Tires is exploiting people to profit from unnecessary repairs.

They had me drop off the car after hours and were very accommodating. I had to get my rear passenger door replaced. It took 4 weeks, which to me is a little longer than what I've been told.

I needed a new engine , and was dealing with a warranty company that was not so great. And they took care of the whole process, step by step they kept me in the loop with pictures and processes. With the frustration any one would had said forget it we don't want the head ache but not them. When anything seemed off they went to extra mile to get it fix the right way, there job is to never see me again for the same issue . In a good way and you can tell they are doing that. Every one is super friendly and they gave a loaner knowing it was my only way to get back and forth from work. I drive an Audi and even the Audi dealership wasn't this good. I can't wait to get my baby back but at least I know it is in great hands .
