    Wife's BMW
    Adrian H.

    Tuesday Nov 18,2025 Oil change and system "check up" Why another 5 star: Over the years they have demonstrated that they can do BMW Maintenance competently. Recently Rick's successfully performed our first ever Smog Test. Today Oil change done while I waited. Everything checked out OK. The tech mentioned Brake Fluid so I checked the On-Board computer and sure enough , it mentioned Brake Fluid change in 3 months = put into my calendar for next oil change in February . Today is why we have been bringing our cars here for years. We are happy to have a competent and professional Business nearby. Rick's has earned our trust Highly recommend

    When this spot was under the previous ownership I was really in love with the prices and service. The prices are higher and the service feels less personal. I've recommended this spot to so many people and I'm hoping that they can rebuild the legacy of honesty, good prices and personalized service.

    I needed an oil change and they let me know that there are a few things that I also needed to take care of. They kindly gave me options which I chose into doing! I'm happy with their service and candor. Prices are very reasonable- especially for how quickly they get the service done. Many thanks! (Also ya it used to be called Ron's but he retired is what I was told and now it's just call Rick's but had the same great staff as before- they told me)

    The price for oil change went up almost 50%. Not doing that again. And they over price the oil.

    Used Yelp's business finder to get a few quotes for my two non-working low beam headlights, and…read morethis shop stood out right away. They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

    I brought my vehicle here for many years for routine work mostly out of convenience. What followed…read morewas a long, expensive performance art piece about how many times the same job can be done incorrectly. Highlights: Rack and pinion replaced FOUR times. Not "adjusted." Not "revisited." Replaced. Four. Times. And somehow it still wasn't right. Still feels like I'm driving a haunted house, full of surprises. Alternator replacement done with the flair of a minimalist. As in: the car left with one belt installed on a dual-belt system. Someone decided "one belt is plenty!" it's a bold, eco-friendly statement. Experimental? Sure. Functional? Only if you're into spontaneous roadside adventures. And once I decided to replace the belts myself the tensioner was missing from the assembly. Every time I'd take it in for something routine it'd come out with an additional issue. It's like a subscription box, but for mechanical failures. Warranty work that exists mostly as a concept. Multiple issues that were supposedly covered had to be chased repeatedly, re-explained, and in some cases paid for again just to get the car back. If you enjoy learning the fine art of "following up" on work that was already warranted, you'll feel right at home. The real magic is that none of this was framed as uncertainty or troubleshooting. Each visit came with confidence. Confidence is doing a lot of work here. At a certain point you stop being frustrated and start being impressed. Four rack-and-pinion attempts suggests either: 1. a deep commitment to learning by repetition, or 2. a philosophical rejection of "fixing" as a concept. Either way, I now know more about my car than I ever wanted to, which is great, except I paid someone else to know those things. If you enjoy returning to the same shop repeatedly to fix the same problem while being told this time it's definitely sorted, you'll love it here. If you want your car repaired correctly the first time or even the second time, and have warranty work honored without a prolonged correspondence, I'd recommend literally anywhere else. Including YouTube, a flashlight, and a ratchet set.

I usually take my car since it's a Mays Miata roadster to Browning Mazda Cerritos but instead I tried them and I'm glad I did. I got front brake pads and got the rears done because they had my car up on the rack and showed me and I just only needed the front but I thought let me get it done since I'm going home to New Orleans on a road trip in December once semester ends I am a nursing student. I'm poor and I watched the budget and Browning Mazda was to charge me several hundred dollars and then some for a break job. I will be back. They just texted me and said that my car is done.!!! The price and the value here and the service was unbeatable $269 for my brake pads which included everything!!!

I asked to speak with a manager that same day and was told none were available. When I finally spoke with the manager, they claimed they reviewed the indoor cameras and saw no equipment touch my car. I asked them to check the parking lot cameras where the worker moved my vehicle, only to be told they don't have any cameras outside. Avoid getting your car serviced here. The staff is careless, and the management provides zero accountability. Your car deserves better than this place.

    I rarely ever leave reviews of places but I was blown away by the service I received here…read moreyesterday. The owners Kevin and Christy are very kind and knowledgeable. I went in because I was hearing an odd sound coming from my brakes and the dealership couldn't figure out what it was. They were going to charge me $300 to have a specialist take a look at it but I decided to just bring it here instead. Right away Christy took my information down and listened to my concerns. Kevin and their mechanic (I think his name was Francisco but I could be wrong) were able to determine where the noise was coming from within 15 mins of inspecting it. Kevin let me know what parts of my car would need some work in the near future. But what shocked me was they took the time to sand down one of my rotors free of charge. After that the noise stopped! I'll never forget their kindness and even though i'm moving away from the area soon i'll always recommend them to friends and family near Long Beach in the future.

My car is in its 8th year so I'm starting to have a lot of other maintenance issues so I'm glad I found a shop so close to home. Kevin and his team are awesome! Reasonably priced, honest, straight to the point, and I felt very comfortable during all my interactions with them.
