Race Ready Auto Repair Reviews

Lj Nelson 2026.04.06

     

Under the gun time-wise for an a/c issue. Obtained three estimates, Race Ready was very competitive but what stood out was the narrative concerning my issue-possible reasons for the problem and the various options to fix. I felt Josh was knowledgeable, forthright, and honest, setting the stage for what they might find once they did the diagnostics. They got me in quick and in the end, I feel I received the best service for the best price. No question-I'll return there for any future auto needs. Thanks Josh and Race Ready!

My 2019 Silverado lost all oil pressure on 75. I had it towed to the tire shop and they were very reasonably priced and had my truck back to me in about 24 hours. I recommend this shop. They do great work!

Thanks for the thorough feedback Daniel. We were as happy as you to find it was only a bad ground and a programming issue on the truck. Thanks for the great review, take care.

Great shop. I've been using their services for about 7 years now. Chris is friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. He's got a great team, especially a young man there by the name Trent. Awesome mechanic. Chris and his team have done work on several of my vehicles over the last 7 years. Maintenance, repairs, and even upgrades. His team did awesome installing a Procharger and other upgrades on a car of mine. They've done major work on my wife's Expedition with the 3.5 Ecoboost. They've also done work on all four of my company trucks, three of those being diesel (5.9 Cummins and 7.3 Powerstroke). Prices are fair. If you want cheap, you'll get what you pay for and wish didn't go the cheap route. Chris is a good honest family man. If there ever was any minor issues (we are all human), Chris backs it up and will make it right. That says a lot. I wouldn't use the same place on all my vehicles for the last 7 years if they weren't honest and dependable.

Top notch service. Ive never left with a surprise bill. They always call to discuss their findings before any major repairs. Plus free coffee and water is always nice.

I have a 2024 Nissan Z performance that I have been taking to this mechanic shop for months now and I am very happy with the work they have done and the kindness of the owner and Becca. If I find anything wrong which is rare I let them know and they take care of it right away. Make this your first stop when getting professional work done to your sports car or any car.

First- time customer and happy to report that the service was thorough, efficient and fairly priced. The highly skilled Jonathon took great care of the vehicle and me, keeping me informed throughout the entire process. Chris, the owner whom I have not met, cared enough to make certain he followed up to ask if I had been adequately taken care of. Absolutely the best customer service.

Hey Tom, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, it is greatly appreciated. I looked over your repair order and was happy to see that you are tackling your routine maintenance. Many driver's aren't aware that the other maintenance in a vehicle, aside from oil and tires, are just as important as their oil changes. Cheap insurance to minimize future parts failures. I will pass your kind words along to the team and we appreciate you choosing Race Ready Auto Repair for your European car repairs and maintenance. Have a Happy Holiday Season!

I had a problem with my car that was diagnosed as needing to replace the spark plugs and the ignition coils. I had that done at another shop and for about 3 days all was good, but the lights on the dashboard came back. I took the car back to the shop that did the work, and after 2 hours of diagnosing, they told me they could not find the problem and the car needed to go the the dealer because they could not determine the problem. I then took the car to Race Ready Auto Repair and after 30 minutes of analysis they found that the original repair was done with the wrong spark plugs. Problem solved. I strongly recommend Race Ready for their competence and attention to details.

Hey Sergio, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Some vehicles are very particular on their spark plugs. The resistance of each individual manufacturers transmission of spark energy causes the ignition coils to change their spark duration timeline, in years past, known as dwell time. Your vehicle is one that only likes a couple of different flavored spark plugs so OE is best for you sir. Please come in and see us for your next oil change and keep us in mind if we can be of help again. Thanks for letting Race Ready Auto Repair diagnose your vehicle. Take care.
