Rudy helped my daughter when we had her car towed to his place while on a road trip. He was so caring and helpful figuring out and then fixing her car. He's amazing and only wish I could have thanked him in person. Rudy went out of his way to help and even gave them muffins when he came in on his day off for one more thing. Rudy thank you, I wish you lived closer so we could have you as our local mechanic. read more

Had a serious problem (alternator, tensionerand serpentine belt) with our minivan while traveling between Oregon and California. We were forced to stop in Ashland. Called Rudi and he diagnosed and fixed the problem over a Saturday and Sunday and at a decent price. He was friendly, took the rime to show us the problem and called to keep me updated. Whether you are traveling g or live locally to Ashland, I would highly recommend Rudi's if your car needs servicing. read more

Rudi's Auto Service - Everytime I pass through Ashland. My 'Waterloo'. - Auto Repair Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

I know this review is very late but exactly 2 years ago today me and my family took a trip to Oregon coming from San Francisco. On our way back home our car started smoking from the engine and to find out the water pump was leaking. We were left in Ashland Oregon, for 2 days we asked a lot of shops to help us but every single person denied or said they were full. Then we were told about Rudi and we called went and he said he was able to fix the car. We went and told us the costs and time it would be done, when he called us it was done he welcomed all us to his office and was very friendly and kind. Great service and great work, he was able to get us back in the road back home. Props to him doing it by himself he's the best and hope more people know about him! read more

Rudi is the BEST in all of southern Oregon. highly reccomend him and his kind heart and hard working hands.

This guy is a total scam, had my truck 2 months to repair a camshaft sensor. He orders all his parts off Amazon kept telling me oh I ordered the wrong part forgot to check! This went on for weeks! I've done a lot of the work to my truck myself so I know the truck fairly well. Dropped it off in beginning of may didn't get my truck back till end of June! I know my truck isn't in mint condition but I get my truck back and there is a huge dent in the tailgate! I disputed it with him for awhile back in forth, thank god I took before photos. I almost had to take him to court he finally offered me 300$ for the damages (I'd rather not have a dent in my tailgate but just happy to be not dealing with him) 3 weeks down the line, I'm working on the truck myself and the fuse box cover is missing! I texted him about it "oh I'm so embarrassed how will I sleep at night" just being a total dick! Guy is a scam and not professional at all Would never go back ! read more

I stopped here on a road trip when I thought my car was overheating and didn't know what to do. Rudi was kind, professional, and went above and beyond to help me find the problem with my car. He explained what he was looking for, how the coolant and radiator worked, and walked me through the whole process. My car ended up being totally fine and he didn't charge me for the time he spend helping me though I would've gladly paid him for it. I'd highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a mechanic! read more

He never fixed my car and he charged me a lot just to find out he didn't do anything. He drinks while he works and he was rude on the phone. read more

If I could give Rudi ten stars, I would. He got us out of a jam when I burned out my truck brakes coming down a steep mountain pass and got towed into Ashland. He cleared his schedule to take care of us so we could continue on our way towing our 27-foot travel trailer, which we live in full time. I cannot enumerate all the ways he was kind, generous and accommodating, but what I can say, unequivocally, is that if every business was run this way, our country would be thriving both economically and spiritually. I cannot recommend this professional, who really knows his stuff, more. read more

Rudi fixed my car on a Sunday so I could drive back to California. It was not cheap but he went above and beyond to get me going. Appreciate Rudi!! read more

Feeling so fortunate! I can't say enough about Rudi (Rudolph) who helped me quickly diagnose a problem with my car not starting. Roadside service had just started my car and left me to figure out what to do next. I needed an auto mechanic who could help me diagnose why my car wouldn't start earlier. I googled auto mechanics in Ashland and found Rudi. And, he was working on New Year's eve. What a blessing. Rudi ran some tests and quickly found the problem. He was polite, honest, kind, and funny. I could see that he knew exactly what he was doing and where to look for the problem. He diagnosed my problem, fixed it for free, and had me back on the road in roughly 15 minutes. While this issue was small, I have no doubt and fully trust that he could repair anything that went wrong with my car. I can see from reviews that others feel the same. Even though I live in Jacksonville, I will definitely bring my car to Rudy next time for maintenance or repair. Thank you Rudolf... #1 - For your work ethic and being open on New Year's Eve. And #2 - For being kind, honest, and helping out a gal in need. Madylene read more

Our van overheated on the grade driving North into Ashland. We pulled in without a reservation, but Rudi greeted us kindly and took us in without an appointment. We were clearly in trouble. We waited some time for the engine cool down before he could check things out thoroughly. He put us back on the road with some advice and some recommendations of who to see if something happened down the road. Rudi was a good guy to meet when we really needed some help. Recommended. read more

Rudy has always been good to me over several years and several vehicles. He always has the customer in mind in my experience. I recommend him to friends. read more

I visited Ashland on a vacation and my car's brake pads deteriorated as I was in this city. I was in a rush as I was leaving the next day and other Auto Services were of no help. Rudi was incredibly kind to help us out and provided us with quick help despite the other cars he had to service due to the emergency nature of my car issue. I would highly recommend Rudi for anyone with car troubles and the customer service, pricepoint and Rudi's kindness are unmatched!! read more

I was passing through town and had trouble with the A/C unit in my car. Rudi was kind enough to find the time to service the unit on the fly, and get it to work properly. The price was fair, too. I would highly recommend him. read more

Highly recommend this auto shop! I just moved here 6 months ago and needed a good mechanic. I found one that's for sure! Amazing customer service and honest prices! He has my service as long as I'm living in the Ashland area! read more

Passing through and alternator went on our 2000 dodge 2500. Very honest and reasonable. Took care of us and back on the road in less than 2 hrs. read more

My son & I were visiting from Seattle and on a Friday afternoon discovered that the alternator on my son's Toyota Carolla was making noise. Found Rudi's on Yelp and went to his shop since he's open on Saturdays. He drove us to our downtown hotel and dropped us off. He returned the next morning after changing the alternator & serpentine belt. Also had him change oil & filter, rotate tires, and replace the windshield wipers. He performed good work quicker and more convenient than going to the Toyota dealer in Medford. He's friendly and explains the work he plans to do. We were able to drive back to Seattle Saturday as planned. He also gave us suggestions where to eat in downtown Ashland. He's an honest mechanic, and based on all the cars at his shop, he works on many types of cars. read more

Great service, saved me $300 and did for me for free what other mechanics charged me $50 for. Gave me honest feedback and never tried to push anything. Always asks what others prices are and beats them. read more

Rudi is the absolute best!!! He got my car in last minute on the same day and finished it in a few hours. Only charged $222.40 for my break pads to be replaced. He is lovely. Did a full check up on my car and topped off the oil for no extra charge. Absolutely will trust him with my car at any time! read more

Rudi has cared for my car (Nissan Pathfinder) for over 5 years. His service is exceptional, he has quickly diagnosed every one of the problems I've experienced with my car, and schedules the repairs and maintenance immediately. He has saved me a ton of money with his ability to get parts efficiently and inexpensively, and is extremely reasonable with his labor rates. Rudi has even driven me home and come to pick me up when the car was ready! He is genuinely caring about his customers and wants to keep us safe! Most of all, he is a genius of a car mechanic! read more

Rudi is honest, kind, and helpful. Thank you for answering the phone on a holiday weekend and making sure we were safe to drive home!

So kind and professional! We were visiting from San Francisco and realized we had a nail in our tire that needed repair. Rudi was open on Sunday at 4 pm and waited for us to arrive despite having his grandkids in town and got us in and out of there. Amazing service! read more

While driving back to Seattle from Santa Barbara, the radiator in our 30' motor home completely gave out. We limped into an Ashland gas station and were referred to Rudi at 7:00pm on a Saturday night. He answered my call on my first attempt surprising for a Saturday night! He then offered to come down to the gas station and take a look. Once he saw our predicament, he had us follow him back to his shop so we would have a place to park the RV (he even hooked us up to electricity!). He started making calls on Sunday to see about getting a new radiator. Rudi knows every part distributor in town and found that there were only 2 available on the west coast. Between Rudi and his friend the part got ordered on Monday and delivered on Tuesday morning. Once work commenced, we found that several of the other parts were worn and if they gave out the radiator would have to once again be removed. We replaced the additional parts he suggested as well. Rudi worked tirelessly to get us back on the road as quickly as possible, moving appointments and working late into the evening to do so. In addition to getting the RV back up and running in just a couple of days, he treated us like family. This type of amazing customer service renews my faith in humanity. Many thanks to Rudi and all the mechanics and distributors that made such a huge effort to get us home in a timely manner. We will forever be grateful! read more

Rip off...!!! We told him our car smelled hot and he found nothing wrong, another mechanic found that both our cooling fans had died. His incompetence caused the overheating to gall our camshaft and ruined our car. He charged us $710 for checking the overheating and some other work. He basically missed something that any mechanic should have caught. We had to buy a new car and are still paying off the credit card we put Rudi's "repairs" on. Stay away at all costs! read more
