Hawthorne and Lawndale Auto Repair

Its my neighborhood. Seen Rick's rise over the years. Not only a professional but a caring member of our community. Who is like that these days?

Rick took care of me personally. I especially liked the estimate which detailed things to do right away and others that could wait, all with actual photos of the areas needing attention. Car now works perfectly, thx!

Professional, Smart, and Fast

Honest, professional and reasonable. They inspected my vehicle first and then made the recommendations needed. Unlike the dealership that wanted me to spend $800+ for a list of services that my vehicle didn’t need only because it’s over the 30K mile mark. I definitely recommend Rick’s Automotive Service. Michael, thank you for the great service to you and your crew!

I'm very pleased with the level of professionalism and customer care I received at Rick's Automotive. These guys have it dialed in with a great team of knowledgeable technician/mechanics that really know what they're doing. My 4runner was vibrating at low speeds and I had to drive it like that a couple days before I could bring it to Ricks. I drove it in early this morning- they test drove it, put it up on the lift for a thorough inspection and found the problem immediately. Bad YOKE ASSEMBLY off the drive shaft. It was old and bearings had completely fallen out. It was causing the entire vehicle to shake and vibrate. They gave me a quick estimate and said they could handle it for me same day. I was in and out of there within an hour and a half and running smooth again. I have an older vehicle and not a whole lot of money, but Rick and his team do a great job of working with you to prioritize issues and help keep you safe and on the road. We need our vehicles to get to work and provide for our families, I truly feel Rick and his team dont ever lose sight of that. Pricing is more than Fair for the level of service these guys provide and the quality of work they put out. Thanks Rick! You and your team are #1 in the Southbay Hands Down! I'll be recommending all my friends and family to you. Respect! Rafael Alarcon

Rick and Mike were so great to work with and they kept me well informed during the repair of my car which got hit hard on the left side front end. I could not ask for anymore to be treated so great these guys are the best.

Very honest and thorough team of mechanics! I was a "walk in" with horrible grinding back brakes. They completely checked my car and then gave me a very fair deal on what I needed to have fixed. They were willing to work with me and they understood my safety came first. They got the parts and had the work done in a few hours. I would recommend Rick to anyone looking for an honest and efficient team that really cares about you and your car!

They did a great job fixing my ford and I recommended them to my sister in law and they did not give her the run around they are amazing

Very friendly and personable management.

Very comprehensive service. Technicians do thorough assessment of the vehicle and explain their recommendations well. They also look at certain work to be done for maintenance that will preserve the vehicle over the long run. Very polite and I really like their way of communicating via text/email.
