Had two new tires mounted. Afterwards I noticed one had a slow leak around the rim. Brought the car back in and they dismounted, cleaned the inside of the wheels again, and remounted free of charge with no questions asked. They take their service warranty seriously.

They were fast, professional, and really cared. It takes a lot for me to trust an auto shop, as I have had problems with other places in the past ( being screwed over, basically). But not Ron's. I would recommend them to anyone I know, and I will go back there in the future!

I think they did a good job regarding fixing the problem in my car. I would have appreciated more if they explained more about the problem and the part they fixed etc.

I have used Ron's for almost fifteen years. They are honest, fair, fast, and very open about problems with the car. At the same time, they do not try to sell you needless services. Highly recommended.

Aircondition Fixed

I needed my free-on added to get my airconditioning to work, but also had a leak. I was charged 150 bucks to be told that I had a leak and to add the free-on. I can add free-on myself...I was hoping for a lasting fix with my airconditioning, but after just a few weeks my air no longer works...a well spent 150.

We put on the ticket that a dye is added and there is no guarantee that the system will stay charged. Since freon is a gas we can only fix the leak if we can see it thru the dye. Customer has not returned in order for us now to be able to see the leak and or be able to fix the leak.
