Word of mouth
"Out of 5 stars I'd give 9 stars"
4.8 stars on Google. Here's what customers actually wrote.
“Only been in Christchurch for just over six months so I'm still finding my feet here and finding trustworthy services. I had a issue with a car and not knowing anyone nor having anyone to recommend a mechanic and also been a former tradesman I knew that tradesmen are usually two to three weeks before you can get some help. I must say my car was stuck at home undriveable Ric turned up late in the afternoon on the same day I had called in to see if I can book the car in out of 5 stars I'd give 9 stars. Ric will now be my go to guy for my other car”
“What an amazing service. This guy is a legend. I cannot rate him highly enough. Extremely helpful, excellent communication and goes well above and beyond to work around his customers. Sorted my daughter's car for her after it broke down. ( she is at Uni ) Checked if she needed help, came and assessed the situation ordered parts from overseas and came and fitted them for her at her house. Incredible value for money. He will definitely be her first port of call for anything she needs mechanically going forward. Thank you Ric you are an absolute credit to your profession. Kieran - (Wellington )”
“What an awesome guy! I had a fuel line rupture on a Saturday morning, he fixed it for me same day. So lovely and accommodating, fantastically priced. Will definitely use again and can not recommend more highly.”
“The best mechanic I've ever been, Ricky has been my mechanic for my STREET/RACE CAR in 3 years. He's Trustworthy, Honest, Very friendly and helpful. The price is very reasonable and he'll explain everything what he had done to your car. Highly recommended!”
“I recently had my car serviced by Ricky and I couldn't be more satisfied. The work was done efficiently, and my car is running smoothly again. What stood out the most was how easy Ricky was to talk to he explained everything clearly and answered all my questions patiently. Highly recommend!”
