Ripon Auto Center

Best service and very friendly. Also best price on an oil change in the area. I will take my cars here from now on. Very honest as well. I am thankful I took my car here.

I take my cars here and only here! I have had numerous work done in this shop and am getting ready to take my van in for a new radiator. I have 4 vehicles that they service there. 1993 Geo Prizm, 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2011 Nissan Versa and a 2105 Toyota Corolla, had a 2009 Pontiac Solstice that they used to service but sold it. You can’t go wrong here. The owner is always on board and they are very honest and competitive pricing. I will be moving to Nevada in June and only wish I could take them and my current housekeeper with me :(Going to miss your honesty and hard work for sure!

I have not had my car worked on by Ripon Auto yet but a family member has for some years and I am so satisfied with the service this loved one receives from Ripon Auto that I am recommending them and will start having my car serviced there. Ralph (owner) and his guys are always friendly and provide top notch service. Ralph has worked hard to repair problems on my family members vehicle and has always fixed it and provided the best costs he could. For instance, the car had to be taken back a couple times to address a problem with the A/​C system. Ralph suggested after the first visit and repair to take the car and see how it operated. It was determined later there was something else wrong and Ralph repaired that problem for only the cost of the part. Fair, honest service is what you will get at Ripon Auto.

Excellent, honest service. We’ve gone to Ripon Auto Center for many years and have never been disappointed. I also appreciate their involvement in giving back to their community by being a member of Ripon Rotary.

Ripon Auto Center is great. Very knowledgeable, reasonable prices, welcoming and friendly. I take my car here for routine things like oil changes as well as for more complex problems that require diagnostic checks and repairs.
Most recent experience… My coworker took his truck here because his steering felt off and his truck was making a «clunking» sound. Ralph helped him out by taking an in depth look into the problem. A few hours later he called him and had a list of problems… total repair estimate was $ 1700. Most mechanics would love to do the work and make some money and some might even suggest unnecessary repairs to make extra money. Ralph gave the advice that it might be time to buy a new truck. He said with over 200K miles he was likely going to need a new tranny and fuel pump soon and that unless he REALLY loved his truck, he’d be better off saving the $ 1700 and trading his truck in for a new one. This is very unusual honest advice from a guy who makes a living repairing cars with high mileage.
