Ryan's Automotive Services Center

I went to Ryans shop to see if they could fix a problem with my car. One of the workers came out and checked out what was the problem.. he couldnt really tell if he can fix it and said he would need to check it inside the shop and check it out. All sounds good.... but then he told me labor would be ****$120 an hour**** 0_0. so i was think to myself it sounds pretty high. So i pass on getting it fix that day and looked around for other quotes on my car. other shops were asking 55-75 per hour only!!! Dont get me wrong.. i dont think they are a bad shop and all.. just just charge really high for labor!!!!! more

I had my oil changed on my diesel truck they knew everything about diesels repairs and diagnostics. I would recommend to everybody. more

The front office staff and mechanics are always thorough, friendly and professional. They are as quick to tell me if a repair does not need to be done as they have been to say what does. The fact that they do not take advantage and add on unnecessary work is greatly appreciated. They have always performed excellent service on my vehicle and I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan's to others. more

I while back i brought my car over to Ryans Automotive to get it repaired. It took 5 days before I can get the car back, they finally called me and told me that it was ready for pick and said that the repair cost was $1000 including the smog which was $67. I paid and drove off realizing that the service guy did not even bother to tell me about the warranty. I was saying to myself not to worry, Ryans Automotive has a good reputation. I guess I was wrong. Now I'm having the same problem again. I called them up and told them about the problem (same problem i had before). I was told that they would have to charge me for the diagnose regardless. I WOULD NEVER TAKE MY CAR TO RYANS EVER AGAIN. more

Just a while ago I brought my car to Ryan?s Automotive for the 90mi service. I had no problems with these guys whatsoever. The front office people were extremely helpful. I told them about my situation and how I couldn?t miss my college classes so they did everything they could to get my car done as fast as possible?I was on my way to college before I knew it. Good job you guys! more

when i first went to Ryan's i made it a big concern that i had night class. they told me it was going to be done 3-5 depending on what it was. (which the problem would take 1 day to fix) so i had to find a ride for that week. they told me i can bring it in on Tuesday so i did. they didn't even start on my car until Friday. they didn't call me for my diagnostic or anything so i had to call on Monday. the guy(who was awfully rude) told me it was going to be done at 4pm that day. i got there at 4:30pm and he said oh they didn't even start on it yet. i will never go their again. i looked around and they over charge way to much on labor. almost half more of what other area's charge. so look around before you even attempt this place. i have never seen worst customer service. the guy really had a mouth. all i have to say is i wouldn't even come here if they fixed my car for free. more

I was headed to San Francisco with my daughter for vacation when the truck I was driving decided to only shift into first gear. Not being from that area, I decided to drive around a few blocks to see if I could find an auto repair shop. With no luck I called a friend and she found Ryan's Automotive just a couple of miles from where I was at. She had already call them and let them know what was wrong and that I was on my way. When I arrived I was immediately greeted by a gentlemen (Bob) that said, "Are you the lady from Oregon?" I thought that was cool, he acknowledged me right away. He proceed to tell me it would be OK and that he would take care of me. Within about an hour or so I had a diagnoses and cost on what it would take to repair it, as well as an offer to give me a ride any where I needed to go and help finding a rental car (which was almost impossible on a Friday at 5 pm). When I found one they helped load my suitcase in Bob's car and he drove us about 15 miles to the only pl more

I'm fron Seattle, in Fairfield for a couple months, needed car service and was glad I used the AAA recommended garage listing - Ryan's Automotive in Fairfield was TERRIFIC!\r \r I needed a major tuneup on my 1991 Subaru, took it to a local independent shop about a month ago, felt like taking a shower after talking with them - they told me I "desperately needed" $4,000.00 work on the car I bought six months ago for $1,500.00. Car leaks 1/2 quart oil every 3,000 miles - they told me I needed to immediately rebuild the engine or my car would catch fire, explode, etc - give me a break...\r \r A couple days ago the AC stopped blowing cold, started blowing hot. Being from Seattle AC probably never had been serviced. Didn't feel like getting burned by another unknown shop, checked the AAA web listings, found two shops in Fairfield. Ryan's Automotive was closer - called and made an appointment.\r \r Ryan's Automotive was GREAT! Fixed my car in one day, very attentive, Eric was terrific, got a ride w more

I was shocked when I got my bill for $1332 for a fuel pump for my 2003 Chevy Astro Van. I had not been given an estimate for the bill. If I had been told that it would be anything over $1000, I would have called around and found that other local garages were charging considerably less for the same thing. Plus tax etc., other places prices ranged from $875-$1080. The entire job took Ryan's an hour and a half and I was charged $717 in labor. \r \r I contacted CA's Bureau of Auto Repair but there's nothing that they could do since I signed the fine print when paying my bill indicating I had been given an estimate. The BAR at least got me back the $132 for double-charging for the fuel pump. Learn from my pain: demand an estimate when you go to Ryan's (or any garage) before they start work. Don't sign anything before reading it. more

I went to Ryans after my car broke down and wouldn't run. I towed it in and was immediately impressed with the clean and professional atmosphere. I was greeted by their customer service people and I was given a estimate for checking out the car and was told they would call me. I noticed all of the mechanics were ASE masters and everyone seemed very knowledgeable. The walls were covered in awards and credentials for the people that worked there and for the shop itself, which has been in business over 50 years. They quickly found the problem and fixed it while keeping me informed along the way. I may have been able to find a place that would do it for a couple dollars less but having the car fixed right and by people that know what they are doing, at a place of obvious quality, that I can trust is worth it. Thanks Ryans!!! more

I have just picked up my car from this auto shop. First of all, I was surprised as to how quickly the car was repaired ... in just one day I was back on the road. The problem was a faulty power steering pump which the shop replaced at a very reasonable price. Everyone was professional and the vehicle was returned to me clean (unlike some other shops that leave smudges all over the interior of the car). I absolutely recommend this shop and will continue coming back if I have problems. more

I brought my 1998 Audi A4 to Ryan's Automotive on a recommendation from a coworker and I had seen their ad on tv. My car had started running rough and the check engine light was on. When I first called to ask if they even worked on Audi, I was surprised to hear that they not only worked on Audi, but the person I spoke with said they have had many euro cars including Audis, Volkswagens, BMWs and Mercedes there. I was asked if I could bring it in right away, which I did not expect, so I made an appointment for the next morning. When I arrived the first thing I noticed about the place was how clean it was. This was no hole in the wall or fly by night operation. When I got into the office, the walls were covered with certificates and awards, the mechanics were all certified and had their permits and certificates on display for everyone to see. They are also a AAA approved shop so that made me feel at ease. The person taking my information was very polite and seemed to know what he was talking about, he assured me that he was a fan of VWs and Audis and would take good care of my car. Just after lunch I was called and was told that my car had a code for a misfire and there was a coil that had gone bad. The price for repair was typical for what I have paid before on my car. The service at Ryan's was top notch and I felt like they really cared about me and my car. Plus they stand behind their work with a good warranty. I asked if they also did regular maintenance on Audis and they do! I'll be back for sure! more

After several estimates, I took my car to Ryan's Automotive for my car repairs. I was impressed with the ASE Master Tech who was knowlegeable about my repairs. I have since had a few minor repairs done at the shop and will continue to have my car serviced there in he future. I also noticed that I was offered a ride home while my vehicle was in the shop, I asked at other shops and was told they could give a ride, but it would be a long wait, if at all. There may be shops with lower shop rates, but remember, you get what you pay for! more
