Posted on Sarah SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a knowledgeable and trustworthy shop. They really know their stuff and are fair. As a woman with limited car knowledge I never felt like they talked down to me or tried to swindle me. Took my ‘01 Tacoma to them for a couple years and was very pleased. They even got to the root of an issue that other mechanics couldn’t figure out. Great place to go!Posted on Daniel WeeksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This shop is very competent with great customer service. I have a rare Toyota Previa that no other shop in the region that I asked would take on the difficult job of swapping my supercharger. Anthony at the front desk of Santa Fe Autotech is very good with customer service and Ron and Riccardo are top notch mechanics. They handled some difficult details of the repair professionally and did the job in a reasonable amount of time.Posted on PatrickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys here were nice and knowledgeable, and they were eventually able to solve my car’s issue after some troubleshooting. I just deducted one star just because it took a few days longer than the initial estimate and the repair was so expensive (about twice the high estimate provided for the service online).Posted on Chris ChappellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ron has earned my trust. His rates are in line with most other shops. He does good work. Update. My last visit did not go well. He suggested, correctly, that I might have leaky head gaskets, but did nothing other than tell me to monitor my coolant levels and overheating. He could have tested for it I found out later. Also, he said that if I did have leaky head gaskets, it would cost minimum $3000 probably more to fix, so I might as well sell the car, and by the way, he could find me another car.... This left me with a significant degree of anxiety for a while, thinking I needed a new car. He did not suggest the possibility that the problem might be temporarily fixed for $35 using Blue Devil head gasket sealant. I found another mechanic I like and now trust more, who suggested the Blue Devil (and it worked!) and said that if I did need new head gaskets, it would cost $1500, not 3000+. My trust in Ron has been shaken by this experience sorry to say.Posted on David SquibbTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an issue with our Toyota Sienna. They were very professional and honest. He couldn't get to us because he was already booked for the day. He found another mechanic, and we were on the road again in under 5 hours. Thank you so very much for your help!Posted on Asher SingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best shop in town. Great mechanics and honest. Ron Hickerson is my go to for automotive needsPosted on Chamomile LokeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ron is an incredible mechanic that knows his craft well. I feel his prices are fair and he is great to work with! He helps me figure out what needs to be done next on my car that will fit into my current budget! I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my car. 🚗Posted on Jack HollandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really kind and thoughtful people!! I felt like they were looking out for me because they felt honest and communicated thoroughly. They assessed issues based on their level of safety and if they needed to be treated right away or not. Helped me figure out the car situation and how to proceed. Work was efficient, effective and affordable.Posted on Steve DeCordovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
