Ride-Way Auto Service

My family and I have brought our cars here for 7 years! The business owner Fred is sincerely kind and fair. And the prices here are unbeatable compared to the rates that the car dealerships charge. Your car will be in the hands of a great team!!!

These gentlemen are always very sweet, helpful, and professional every time I come in. Two of my loved ones recommended me to come here for car repairs, and I have ever since. I don’t even compare prices anymore, because I know I can trust them. They offer better deals here than anywhere else I’ve been. Not to mention great service. They’re really looking out for your best interest, not just your buck. My friend’s husband who recently deceased had been coming here for over 15 years. I recommend it

Great service!!! Great staff, I always take my car here. You are in good hands when you come here. Highly recommend!!!

I have taken my car here before and have had pretty good quality service, but I recently had an alternator go out on my car and desperately in need to get it fixed asap… I called around to get a quote for parts and installation… this was the first place that I called…200 $ more the the rest of the shops I called to do the exact same work with the exact same part! its just bad business and very bad karma to knowingly overcharge this amount on any part or install… i will never be returning to this shop for this one quote… bottom line is i took my car to get the work done for 200 $ cheaper at another shop and my car is back running fine… I hope they can do better business in the future

I will never go back to Ride-​Way. My husband was an advocate of their establishment for a while — granted, he only ever received oil changes from them. He loved their services and thought they were the nicest people who always looked out for his best interest. I read these other raving views and I feel terrible for throwing a bad apple into the mix, but they have forever lost me as a customer. Here’s why:
This last Wednesday, my husband took my car in because the power steering had gone out and my car was making horrendous screeching and crunching noises. Ride-​Way did a hefty amount of work, claiming they had given us the best deals and that they had taken great care of my car. They advised my husband that there was still work to be done on the car, but that it was guaranteed to run fine for now and that the remaining work did not have to be finished for quite some time.
2 DAYS after my car was released to me, my coolant light came on followed by the check engine light, and later that evening a large cloud of smoke encapsulated my hood and needed to be towed to the nearest auto repair store. I even tried to take my car back to Ride-​Way which was not far from where I ended up, but even though their hours of operation said they were open, no one answered the phone for the HOUR I was trying to call them (while waiting for the tow truck) and they had apparently closed up early for the day.
My assumption is that they cut corners to get us out of there quickly. They told my husband they only charged a small amount of the actual labor fee to give us a break, but their receipt charged me for far more. The fact that they cleared my car for operation and then 2 days later it literally blew up in my face has made me rethink their credibility. Never again.

We have trusted our cars to Fred and his team for years. We are always referring folks to this great shop, and just realized we hadn’t shared on Unilocal.The assessments, communication, service, etc. are always top notch. We know that when we take our cars to Ride-​Way we will get the best of care. I would ignore any negative comments posted here. There are too many positives for the negatives to really mean anything.

We have taken our cars to Fred for 13 years. He’s honest and his crew works hard and quickly. Reasonably priced, too!

Fred has always taken good care of me, he is fast and efficient and he has always given me good prices. I’ve recommended him to my whole family

Freddy and his staff are hands down the most helpful mechanic. Finally an honest place that doesn’t overcharge or create unnecessary concerns. Always prompt and caring. I’m a female so naturally, service shops try to intimidate me in paying for things to be fixed and don’t necessarily need to be. At Ride Way I get a simple breakdown and it gets done quickly and correctly.
I took my car in to Toyota for a blown shock which they were trying to charge 2.5 times what I paid for at Ride way. Dealership highway robbery.
Absolutely recommend, trustworthy!

Horrible. Only 3 Unilocal in all the years they have been in business? ???
Tried to say a head gasket can blow from age. Head gaskets blow because the engine overheats. Periods! Usually some idiot keeps driving after it is over heating. There can be many reasons for it overheating but they don’t just fail. These guys are the worst!

I’ve never written a review before, but I thought it was time. Fred is great. I’ve been going here for years. He’s always fair and explains everything thoroughly.
I would definitely recommend Ride Way Auto Services for anyone in the Santa Clarita area.

10 stars!!! Such a convenient shop! One stop for anything you need. I have had a engine replaced there, shocks, installed and alarm and bought tired. Everytime I have ever asked hey do you do this? The answer is yes! I love the service no appointment needed just drive on In early. Thank you ride way!!!

Been going here for about 7 years with two cars. No complains. Good customer service. Good communication. Fair prices. Good work. Not one of those mechanics you think is taking you for very penny. Does what’s necessary and no pressure. Highly recommended if you live in the santa Clarita valley.
