Hawthorne and Lawndale Auto Repair

I was shocked when Rick performed the diagnosis on my to find out the bearings were shot in my car! One could only imagine the potential disaster that cpuld have unfolded there.. I am ever thankful to have Rick and his team on my side. Expert diagnosis and repair and my car, once again, runs as smooth as ever.

Hands down best mechanic in the South Bay!! I brought my 2005 Toyota Tacoma in because suspension was all out of wack. Rick and his staff was very professional and thorough when inspecting my truck, so I decided to give them and shot and I’m so glad I did, my truck now ride like a brand new truck. They even have loaner cars if you have to leave for car there for repairs BIG +. Thanks Ricks And your staff!!!

The staff at Rick's Automotive are all very professional, experienced, and very thorough. They kept me informed as to what work was needed for my Nissan Altima and updates of their progress. They also gave me pictures of existing defected parts that support their diagnosis. In addition, they provided me with a detailed list of the work recommended to be done in the near future, which included the cost of said work. I was very pleased with their service and highly recommend them.

Such professionals... I will recommend their service...

AWESOME! VERY PROFESSIONAL & THOROUGH WITH EVERYTHING. & Done in a timely manner. Updated me with text messages & calls. Had a previous mechanic we thought was trust worthy but later found out was butchering everything & collecting our money. Called Ricks & they were able to see me the same day! Fixed everything for a reasonable price! So relieved my baby is up & running now! They now have a new loyal customer 😃

First time customer, very professional. It should be a good mechanic for my family for the long term. Excellent computer history of work that’s been done or needs to be done

I was referred by autoclub to get a car I just bought checked out. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly, helpful and honest Micheal and the rest of the mechanics were. They were thorough and efficient in checking my car specifications. I would highly recommend this place for service on cars as the mechanics have years of experience and are honest.

If your tired if mechanics giving you the shadiest reasons why you need to get your 3 "undercoating" this year. Just go to Rick's! His repair tracker is awesome. (TLDR) so when he is working on your car you will get a report via text that will list out everything he is working-on with links to pictures of the part on your car and if you are the curios type there is even a link to what the part does and why it is important (or not)to replace/fix it. In other words it gives you the Option to dig into what is being replaced along with the Why and How. And the cherry on top of it all, is Rick. A great example of a hard working man, who just wants to offer the best work he can. Support local businesses!

I cannot tell you how great these guys are! I have a ‘57 t-bird. The car has never run better! Rick, Mike and the guys have taken such good care of the car along with such attention to detail! Mike’s knowledge of vintage cars is phenomenal! I have found my car’s repair home!

Very good service, Rick is my mechanic from now on.
