Rudy’s Auto Repair

Took my truck to Rudy’s twice. First time was five-​stars, simple procedure but they had the job done quickly and charged a fair price. I was pleased and felt I’d «found my shop» for the future.
Second time: my truck experienced a blown head gasket and I had it towed to Rudy’s. They were kind to let me have the truck towed inside their shop for the weekend. Monday I went in, left a large deposit and was told the truck would be ready in a week. After a week I call repeatedly but there’s no news. Three weeks later the truck is finally ready, I pick it up. I was upset to have waited so long but glad to have the truck back. I paid $ 1100 for the repair. Unfortunately it seemed nobody had test driven the truck and it was almost undrivable as it was. Horrible jerking motion as the pistons misfired due to, at the very least, a bad wire. I took the truck back.
In the end I wound up taking the truck back FOUR TIMES before it was in acceptable condition. Acceptable. Too much wasted time, too much worry about weather or not the job had actually been done properly — my experience here was exhausting. I want a shop which does the job right the first time and, from my experience, Rudy’s isn’t it.

Amazing bunch of guys, My car was dead, I got it jumped and brought it over. They fixed it up and only charged me for the battery I needed no installation cost. Highly recommended, these guys know what they are doing, and are super nice.

My boyfriend and I are new to New Orleans, and when our car started having problems, we were immediately pretty stressed. Unilocal pointed us in the direction of Rudy’s and we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have found it! The rest of these reviews are dead on; the mechanic was incredibly friendly and considerate of our concerns, honest and very knowledgeable. He was super quick too, we hadn’t even waited 40 minutes before getting a call from him. I’ve never written a Unilocal review before but really felt compelled to after my experience at Rudy’s. I’ve always been pretty weary of mechanics, but when I left Rudy’s I felt totally confident that we had made the right choice with this mechanic. Trustworthy and reliable. I almost can’t wait to have car troubles again just so we can give Rudy’s more business. Well, that’s not totally true, I would be happy never to have a car problem again, but if I do, I’m going straight to Rudy’s!

Bunch of really nice guys who really know what they’re doing, and are HONEST! Open crazy early. Fair prices. I found a new favorite mechanic and would highly recommend Rudy.

Place looked a bit shady at first but the mechanic was really nice and friendly, took a look at our car, gave us advice and didn’t even charge us, we’re from out of town so we were scared of getting ripped off. Definitely recommend it, great service!

I’ve been taking my car here for over a year. I recommend it to everyone I know. These men are some of the nicest men in the city, naw – the South. I never doubt their honesty and integrity. They work hard and get the job done quickly and they’ll always tell you how to save a buck. I almost want to pay them more… almost… It’s very inexpensive and you get great work. They’ll teach you about cars as far as you’re willing to learn and there’s usually some sexy hot rod in the lot. I just love this place. It’s like car therapy. Hours are still 7 – 3, check and cash only.

After reading the good reviews on Unilocal for Rudy’s Auto Repair I decided to take my truck in to get the a/​c fixed. I couldn’t be happier. I thought for sure i had a bad compressor, but it turns out it was a whole other issue. He was honest, fast and very friendly. This is now my mechanic!

I had a leak in my radiator and my transmission wasn’t shifting out of first gear. I was sick worrying about how much this was going to cost. I asked just about everybody if they knew a good mechanic with no luck. I came to Unilocal and found that Rudy’s had a 5 star rating and was close to my house. Thank goodness I did! He replaced my radiator, fixed my transmission and changed my oil, all for about $ 460. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW 1– hours are 7am til 3pm, closed Sun /​2– Does not accept any cards

I took my truck here on advice from a friend. They told me they were honest and good. They couldn’t have been more right! I love Rudy’s. Their prices are honest and they do quality work. And they have never charged me just to diagnose a problem. I highly recommend Rudy’s.
They are a full-​service shop.

Great service. Had a hard shift problem with my transmission. Rudy cleared the codes, on the transmission and now it shifts beautiful again. Didn’t even charge me. Love this guy! Honest Mechanic! need more like him!
