Brought my truck here for a rear differential leak repair on 1/15/2026. Found the differential still leaking on 1/17/2026. Came back to the shop on 1/19/26, mechanic (Rich) told me he would call me later that day. When he called me, he told me he wanted $160 more to repair the leak. Decided to go to another shop, and found out that not only did Rich not install the seal correctly, he damaged the pinion yolk (hammered it) which is why he asked for the additional $160 to replace it. It will now cost me 5 times what he charged me to repair the damage he caused plus the original leak. If you come here and expensive mistakes are made by the owner, he will NOT make it right.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been going to Rich for about 8 years, and the reason is simple! He’s an honest, transparent, stand-up guy! He’s never tried to sell me anything I didn’t need. 🙏🏼 Great prices, quality products, and even better people! His crew does a great job with the cars and always friendly. What’s great for him is a bit of an adjustment for me :) …years ago I could call and get in the next day. Now the word has definitely spread, everyone wants to go here, and he’s booked weeks out. It just goes to show that HONESTY and QUALITY have their consequences! :) 😆

Rich and his crew are honest , fair, knowledge and capable mechanics who won't try to sell you anything you don't need, but will advise and educate you, and treat you with respect and do a great job repairing your vehicle. Rare qualities to find in a mechanic shop these days! That's why they have been in business for over 20 years because they treat their customers great! I've always received great service and results from Fountain auto Repair😁

Honest and transparent! We are from out of town and our check engine light came on unexpectedly. We came in a day before Christmas Eve and they were able to take us in and show us exactly what was wrong. Luckily it was nothing urgent, so they fixed it right then and there and didn’t charge us anything at all. We’re so grateful and highly recommend this place!

I wish I knew of Fountain Auto sooner, Richard & his crew are amazing. First time I left a mechanics after a visit & feel great about the whole experience. I have been to several mechanics & dealerships in the area and been taken advantage of at each one. I was afraid to turn my back on the dealership with my current vehicle and so happy I did, I would refer every family member to Fountain Auto if I could.

I’ve been going to this shop for 4 different vehicles (Jeep, Acura, Dodge and my Wife’s 1972 Mercury Montego) for almost 10 years now. They are the best mechanics I’ve been too. Honest, good prices, good products, good customer service, and Richard is just the man. I don’t let anyone work on my charger except Fountain Auto. I recommend everyone and their mother here. Do you see any other repair shop with 100+ 5 star reviews??

My sister recommended Richie to me in 2016. I moved to FL then, and needed to find someone to stick with for the long haul. She had already been his customer for a few years. Rich and his staff were the only ones to touch my 2003 Honda Accord. I didn't even want to take it to a dealership, since she was already so old. When she hit 220k miles, it was time to let her go. Now that I have a 2019 Mazda, Rich and his staff continue to be the only ones I let work on it. I happily drive from Delray to Margate to get Mazzy serviced, because Rich is a straight forward, no-nonsense businessman. He's busy, so call a week or 2 ahead of time. Although he will work with you to the best of his ability. Great customer service, with a touch of that NY Italian we all know and love 😆.

10/5 stars. Richard is amazing. Very personable, helpful and honest. I’ve been working with them for a few months now, restoring a 1989 Bronco, and I’ve felt very comfortable and cared for - especially with my lack of knowledge in the automotive sphere. The best shop and team I could’ve hoped to find.

Short version: These people are FANTASTIC! Long version: There's a reason these people have the reviews they do. Let me explain. First of all, you should know that I don't let anyone touch any of my vehicles. Frankly, normally, it's just too much of a hassle to undo the damage that they do and listen to all the nonsense that they spew. They usually try to sell you with fear to get work that you don't need. I went to Fountain knowing what the car needed. Rich was able to tell me what he would do and he knew exactly what he was talking about, 100%. Then, I sprung a little "extra" something that the vehicle had an oil leak. He, again, knew exactly what was going on took care of it. But here the best part, he doesn't over-charge. I don't mean he is "cheap"... I mean he does really high quality work for a fair and honest price - and he gets it done in a timely fashion while still explaining what is going on. Honestly, until now I would hate the thought of bringing any of my vehicles to anyone... but now... if there's work that I don't have the time to do - Fountain is getting the work. It's just that simple. OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE!!! Work Performed: Timing Belt Water Pump Accessory Belt Various Seals Oil Change 2015 VW Golf Sport Wagen TDI (Diesel)

I have been going to Fountain Auto Repair for over a decade. These are the guys that you go to thinking you have a $500 issue and they are honest enough to tell you it was a $50 easy fix. This is not a secret, which is why Richard and his guys are a go-to for many in Broward County. My only issue is that I wish they weren't so busy, but they are busy because they are the best... and honest. That's something that's hard to find with a mechanic.

I was recommended to Fountain Auto Repair about 10 years ago. I have had several vehicles in that time frame and I have always been treated honest and fairly. Rich has always been very upfront with me about what I need or don’t need on my vehicle. I couldn’t imagine taking my vehicle anywhere else and would highly recommend Fountain Auto to anyone who needs service on their car.

Rich knows his cars. Good honest mechanic! He’s the only place I’m going from now on. Just had throttle body service, serpentine belt replacement, and they fixed a nail in my tire too! Fast and honest! I cannot say enough great things about this place. As a female racer I know how men treat women in the auto business. It was refreshing to have someone so open and honest to work with! If you need service go to Fountain Auto Repair. They’re incredible.

The BEST and most honest mechanic shop Ive ever dealt with. Rich , the Owner, exceeded all of my expectations regarding not only the level of service but also the workmanship. I saved thousands of dollars utilizing Fountain Auto Repair over the Mercedes Dealership for the service of my Maybach. Highly recommend!!!!

I brought my 1999 Toyota to Fountain when I initially bought it. The car was already 8 years old, but only had 30,000 miles on it. I was searching for a good price for breaks. Richard saved me about $100 compared to estimates from three other local shops so I decided to give him a try. He was very informative, answered all my questions and treated me like I had the right to know about my car. I told him that I needed my car to go at least 400,000 miles and asked if he could do that for me. In the past 6 years, I have driven it over 120,000 miles, and Richard keeps it running great. I have come to believe I will be getting 500,000 or more miles from it as long as I have Richard as a mechanic. Being a mom, it is important that I feel confident my car is checked over well so that I can avoid having problems on the road. He always fixes things when they need to be fixed, and does not make me spend unnecessary money beforehand. I have brought other cars to Richard. He repaired one, sold it for me, gave me the money minus the repairs, and warrantied his work for the person who bought it. That is a great mechanic that goes the extra mile to help a customer. I have referred others to Richard at Fountain and all of those people are very pleased and go back. I am thankful every day for Richard at Fountain Auto for his great work and his honesty.
