Richard’s Foothills Auto Repair

Made appointment two days before. Dropped car off at 10 minutes prior to appointment at 1:15pm. Waited for call. No one called. Called them at 4:30pm and they said they hadn’t had a chance to look at it yet. They didn’t even call and were just planning to keep it overnight. What’s the point of making an appointment? Couldn’t they have told me when I brought it in that the were backed up? Couldn’t they have called me?

I was on the way to the sand dunes when our truck blew a radiator hose. Had to get towed to town and every shop we called wouldn’t get us in until the next day. Richard got us in as soon as the truck was dropped off the tow truck and within 30 minutes got us back on the road. Great to deal with and put us in front of everyone else since we were from out of town and would have no where to stay for the night. Hopefully I never have a breakdown again near Yuma but if I do I know where I’m going to go. Thanks guys!

I never review anyone on Unilocal but this time, I want to warn people about this guy. He happily took my Prius in, drove it around couldn’t figure out problem and now wants to be paid $ 60 claiming he worked an hour on it. No other shop in Yuma does this. He did not tell me he doesn’t know a thing about hybrids upfront… other shops tell me upfront. I am horrified at the intent to deceive and the arrogance to demand payment. I’m going to attempt to get my car back today which he’s holding hostage for the $ 60 he’s trying to charge for the «hour» he worked driving it around. Spread the word. My next post and letter will be going to the Better Business Bureau.

Took my jeep to the dealer in town for an air conditioning problem was told I needed a new compressor and a new radiator total quote about $ 1800
dollars. Took it to Richards low Freon they fix the problem could find a leaks that it’s all done a great job

For years, I’ve waited to bring my car to either San Diego or Phoenix for repairs, because I was afraid to try a local shop in Yuma.
When the AC quit blowing cold air suddenly, I knew it needed a recharge. I contemplated doing this myself, but my husband talked me into taking it in.
I researched a few local shops, and finally decided upon Richard’s.
Fully expecting a guy to see me (a petite woman driving a white BMW) and think he could scam me, I walked in with a bit of skepticism. They did NOT attempt to scam me, or tell me anything else was wrong with my car. They simply recharged the AC as I asked. All staff members were professional and I could tell as I eavesdropped on conversations that they were very knowledgeable about cars. (To the point where I even felt a bit nostalgic as I flashed back to my childhood — watching my Dad tinker away in his garage and talk with buddies about the science behind the technology)
I only paid $ 75 and the work was done in under 15 minutes… I did not have an appointment, just walked in.
I walked away feeling like that entire experience could not have gone any better, and I’m ashamed that I’ve been driving three hours because I was afraid to deal with a small-​town mechanic shop.
Thanks for the prompt and professional service, and the reasonable prices.
Hoping to NOT have any trouble with my car, but if I do, I feel relieved knowing I have found a local and reputable mechanic shop. Highly recommend.

I was skeptical coming here but I am glad that I did. The quirky owner Joe is awesome. He always helps me out and remembers me and my German car and its persistent «Check Engine» light. Honest and affordable!

Straight no non-​sense shop. I went here to get my brake pads replaced. This place was recommended by a co-​worker who told me they work on Honda’s. I own a Honda and didn’t want to go to the dealership and pay an arm and a leg for service. So this worked for me.
Don’t expect to be wined and dined here. Its the quality of work that counts and they deliver.
