Rick's Auto Clinic

We broke down in our camper on a Saturday evening and had to get a tow to an interstate repair shop that was closed until Monday. He was unable to help, but kindly referred us to a tow guy and a repair shop up in town. We called both and got towed up earlier. That shop is very busy, but those guys are AWESOME! They got us a new fuel pump, dropped a full gas tank and installed the new pump with 4 hours and got us back on the highway. And the cost was actually less than what we expected, considering between good, cheap and fast you usually only get 2 out of 3. Nevermind 5 stars, this shop gets 10 STARS IN MY BOOK!! ONWARD TO STURGIS!!

Fast, fair prices and able to do most anything. And it feels good knowing that when I take my vehicles here the issues are taken care of the first time every time .... plus it's a treat to see some of the beautiful vehicles that they're working on out there

Owner Rick provided an honest assessment of repair needed on my '94 Bronco. It was fixed in a timely fashion, and we got it back in just a few short days. Wonderful, helpful staff (Carmalee) that kept us informed.

I do not have enough to say about this company I broke down on I80 and they were able to get me in and diagnosed that day I feel like they valued my concerns since I was from out of state I needed to be back on the road my transfer case had separated from my transmission and they still had me on the road by noon the next day. Very impressed and highly recommend

In 2012 we were driving from Connecticut to Utah when our temperature gauge slowly climbed into the upper limit of the Hot zone and I feared the engine was going to seize up. Using my Tom-Tom I was directed to Rick's out in the middle of no-where, at least that's how far from the interstate it seemed. We were leaving our daughter in Logan, UT to begin her veterinary studies and my wife and I had a return flight booked, which would have been in jeopardy if we didn't make the airport in time. It was a Saturday when we limped in and Rick, the owner, had an employee bring the car right in. Long story short, he was good enough, after overhearing our plight, to have an unscheduled employee come in on Saturday to get us back on the road. The cause of the overheating was a blown head gasket and a leaky water pump and questionable radiator. So they replaced the head gasket, water pump and radiator, recharged the A/C and changed the oil and filter. Charged a reasonable $1350 parts and labor, but most importantly, saved our bacon catching the flight back home. Almost forgot, his mechanic contacted Honda to get a password/code? to reset the radio after having to disconnect the battery. I am highly recommending these folks for their honesty and graciousness for bringing us to a hotel until the car was ready.

We were driving back to our hometown in California with our family car, a Honda Civic that is almost 20 years old. The car apparently got overheated, a white smoke was coming out of the front hood when we were passing a small town called Adair in Iowa. We went to a local auto repair shop, the mechanic right off the back, without even doing a thorough checking, told us that the car engine is no good anymore and if we wanted to fix it the entire engine would need to be replaced. The replacement would be more expensive than the value of the car so he recommended that we just scrap the car and leave it in his shop for just 50 dollars , and then rent a car. The problem was the car was fully loaded of our daughter ‘s stuff, and renting a car would require us to turn around and drive something like 60 miles the opposite way as this town is in the middle of nowhere. And we really could not bear forsaking this car like this as it has been in the family for a very long time :(
We talked to the front desk of our Super8 hotel for other solutions. From them we got to know Rick’ s repair service in Atlantic that would be ahead on the way to California for 20 miles. In the next morning, under an unfortunate big storm, we drove the car 5 miles at a time and added coolant each time we stopped, and finally got to Rick's. After explaining the issue, Rick immediately asked a mechanic to work on the car. Unlike the last mechanic, Rick's mechanic did a thorough checking and eventually found a pipe that was leaking from a big hole. He showed us the pipe and told us that it would be an easy fix, no need to replace the engine. We were very relieved. He fixed the issue and only charged us $117! After that we are back on the road and eventually drove back to our California home in safety. We cannot express enough how much we appreciated Rick, without whose service we would've lost our beloved family car to an incompetent middle-of-nowhere "con-chanic" who probably lied so he could get our perfectly functioning car for just 50 dollars!
Rick, thank you so much for your great service!

My car was having trouble on a long trip and I randomly pulled into this shop. Rick gave me a great deal and got me back on the road incredibly fast. He also helped us tremendously to get the part I needed from another place. THANK YOU!!!! Amazing people.

Outstanding service. I was traveling cross country when my alternator went out. They had me back on the road in 2 hours and saved my trip.

Just ran across a receipt from a tow and alternator repair that occurred late afternoon the day before Thanksgiving. Rick towed us to the shop from the freeway and had us on our way a short time later. superb service and repair work.

They do GREAT ON VEHICLES ATLANTIC, IA

Did a great job on my truck. took the time to explain everything before he started and cost

Good work, didn't try to hassle me into getting more done than I wanted, gave me a great price and got it done in a great amount of time. One of the best places I've been to.

I have taken all of my auto repair work to Rick's for years. I am always treated fairly and the work is done right the first time.

Excellent service. I do a lot of my own work, I have been very impressed with the service I have received. The prices are very reasonable for the work that is done. I would not hesitate to recommend this business.

Rick is a knowledgeable mechanic. We have taken our vehicles to his shop for over 12 years.

Excellent work and service(especially with the week between Xmas, New Years, and the snowstorm).... Even took care of engine light the net day in minutes. Will be back

Rick fixes it right and in a timely manner. I usually make my own repairs but when I decide to hire a professional I trust Rick.

As always I appreciate Ricks expertise. I greatly appreciate his effort to keep costs down.

Always do great work on my truck, and they are fast and honest!

Rick always does fantastic work. Have used him for 11 years.
