Ricky is a master mechanic. Very friendly shop and is affordable. My bill came out to be 30% less than what I was quoted at more reviewed shops in Fort Collins. Give Ricky a try. Small shop so make an appointment and he will get you in. It is worth the wait he does not sell you want you do not need and is very knowledgeable/skilled.

Ricky does honest, quality, cost-effective work. I had my Jeep looked at by another mechanic prior to bringing it to Ricky's. The first mechanic diagnosed the problem incorrectly (assumedly to make a large amount of money from me). When I brought it to Ricky, he looked at it and told me, "I don't know why anyone told you something was wrong with your engine. Nothing is." He replaced the radiator and in total, saved me over $1500 because of his honesty. Everything is running great and he is great to work with (explains everything, efficient, friendly, etc). Highly recommend him. Thanks, Ricky!

I have been going to Ricky for all of my auto-repair needs for years, he is the only person I completely 100% trust with my vehicles. Ricky is hard working, honest, sincere, and does excellent, cost-effective work. I'm so thankful to know him, and to be able to take my car somewhere that I'm not worrying the whole time that I'm going to get screwed over. Thank you Ricky!!

Ricky is a great mechanic. We've been taking our cars to Ricky for years and he always does well by me and my cars. He doesn't offer to repair things that don't need repairing; provides great service at a fair price. I highly recommend.

Great experience getting our car fixed here. After a transport company damaged our car and refused to compensate us, Ricky fixed it for a fair price and also very quickly. He was honest with us when he told us we didn't need to order all new parts and that saved us over $1000 dollars from the quote the dealer had given us. I would highly recommend Ricky!

Ricky did a great job on my car! He was honest and the prices were fair. I really appreciated his thoroughness when testing my car and what was wrong (as well as truly testing what piece was broken rather than just replacing everything). I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone.

I thought my car was a bit of a mess when I brought it and a repair list of my own to Ricky's. Not knowing them, I first relied on the online reviews but later as I got talking with Ricky about the obvious problems with my car, his honesty and knowledge assured me that I made an excellent choice, my car was going to get only the repairs needed and in the end the total repair cost was fair. I've had my car for 18 years and in that time, with all the repairs and mechanics it's seen, this is truly the 1st time that I've felt that the whole car had a sense of newness when I drove it away. Almost like a new car! Ricky's also took the time to show and clearly explain all that was repaired and why I did not need all the repairs that I thought necessary immediately. The repair quality was amazing! And they talked to me like I was family! I don't think that I can thank them enough but I sure am happy that they are here in Fort Collins!

My daughter's car broke down in Denver and was towed to a Tires Plus that quoted her $1500 to fix. I called Ricky who had services my car and he was able to suggest a reputable tow service and within a day it was at Ricky's Garage. After a thorough inspection Ricky found it needed a bolt on the brake line tightened! Ricky filled fluids and checked over the car and charged us only for one hour of labor. Ricky is honest, does quality work and is our mechanic for life! What a wonderful business

I would recommend Ricky's Garage to anyone within driving distance of Fort Collins. When I tell my friends I have an honest mechanic, they laugh, but that is exactly what Ricky is. Honest, talented and he doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I've brought two cars in to him, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I highly encourage anyone with car troubles to call Ricky. Plus, he is a honest and super nice guy!

My experience at Ricky's garage has been always amazing. Extremely honest and fair prices. He will never ask for jobs you don't need. Besides this, he takes the time to explain you everything in detail. I had a very bad experience in other place due to an emergency. I was extra charged and all the repairs I was suggested to do were not true and the ones I needed ASAP were not mentioned. I trust 100% in Ricky, he took the time to inspect my car with me and showed me what I needed and what I definitely didn't need. Highly recommended

Ricky's Garage was recommended to me about five years ago. We have brought all of our cars, including our kids cars, to him for repair and maintenance. He is an excellent mechanic, honest and affordable! We actually just had a recall repair done at Tynan's and when we went to pick up the car they told us we needed all sorts of brake work done to the tune of $1600. After bringing it to Ricky to check it over, he said there was nothing wrong with the brakes. I cannot begin to thank him for all of the work he has done for us and kept our cars healthy and road ready. We were lucky to find him and now we recommend him to others.

My family and I have been going to Ricky for over 10 years. Recently, I moved to Boulder and went to my local mechanic there. I will never be making that mistake again!! Ricky is honest, fair, and in general a great person. What was going to cost my $1900 at Big O Tires in Boulder, Ricky is doing for a QUARTER of the price. He looked over the Big O estimate and found so many times where they were overcharging me, padding charges, or adding additional frivolous charges. Unfortunately, as a female with limited car knowledge I am an easy target for places like Big O Tires to take advantage of, so getting honest detailed explanations from Ricky is a breath of fresh air. Anytime from here forward I will drive an hour to Ricky or even pay to have my car towed to him if need be, I will still getting the better deal even after the price of the tow. I am genuinely thankful to have him. Couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Ricky was so awesome with helping us as fast as he could! He is honest, reliable, has fair pricing and is locally owned and operated! He was so kind to my daughter as well. I will 100% continue to use him for my daughter’s vehicle while at college! Highly highly recommend!

All my family has been going to Ricky’s garage for the last 11 years. Ricky is an excellent mechanic, very honest, trustworthy and a great person. He guarantees his work and his prices are very reasonable. We never had a problem with his work, he truly takes pride in his work.

Ricky is literally the most genuine and honest mechanic I have found, I just needed a diagnosis. I called countless mechanics and they quoted me $250-300 just to diagnose my car, Ricky let me tow my car to his shop and he fixed my car for such a fair price! Then I had to tow it back ( not a issue on his end ) found out my engine had been seized and he told me to call Hyundai cause they had an extended warranty for my specific car, and I got a new engine for free all thanks to Ricky. I would've never even had known about that extended warranty if it wasn't for him!! HE IS THE BEST!!!

The only shop I will take my 4Runner to! Before moving to Fort Collins, I was fortunate enough to live close to my father who is a mechanic. I never had to worry about any of the sketchy things that can happen when you drop your car off for service. Thanks to Ricky, I still don’t need to worry! I spoke with just about every auto shop in Fort Collins but none of them made me feel like I could really trust them. Then I spoke with Ricky and not only did I feel at ease but his prices are fair and his work is high quality. I know how overpriced most auto shops are because I grew up sitting behind the counter of them. It’s wonderful to have found someone who has fair prices, good work, and keeps his word.

Ricky is honest, affordable and highly skilled. I have a lot of work to be done on my truck. I saved up money and contracted David to repair the first "set" of problems handled so my truck doesn't break down before I can get I all fixed. He inspected my truck and found my front left suspension was failing and would break soon. I could have died because my wheel could have rolled off, on a mountainside. The wheel was literally breaking loose from the inside. Ricky fixed the most critical issues and did an AMAZING job. He did it quickly, affordably and he fixed what was in my best interest, not what was easier or more profitable. Ricky has integrity and is a professional! I will be back in 2 months to get the next set of problems fixed.
