Best place in town, great mechanics and honest. Highly recommend. We have used them for forty years and stayed with the 2nd owner of the business, who has owned it for over 20 years.

Great service at a good price. Very helpful and cooperative people.

My car was experiencing engine problems and my dealership was booked out for over a month so I called Ryder and talked to Tim. He said he was booked out for about 3 weeks, however, he said I could drop off my car and he’d try to fit me in if he had time between clients. Lo and behold he was able to get to (and fix) my car the VERY NEXT DAY! He was also able to explain everything to me in an easy to understand manner. I cannot recommend Ryder’s enough!

soooo helpful!!! i visited ryder's auto service for repair to the exhaust system on my 13yo subaru. tim showed me where the problems were and told me they could replace the entire system, but that it was absolutely unnecessary to do so. he referred me to another local shop (G & A Auto) that was able to complete the custom repairs with a positive and very affordable outcome. thanks, tim!! i will definitely visit ryder's again when next auto service or repair is needed.

Good service with knowledgeable help from the owner and his staff. This repair facility stands behind their work.

I have had repairs and maintenance of my Ford Escape at Ryders for several years. I find them extremely competent and professional, performing excellent repair work at a fair price. They are easy to work with and I would highly recommend their repair shop. Give them a try and you will be glad you did.

I received awesome service from Ryders Auto Service! They not only had excellent costumer service, they also were kind enough to show me how to check my oil in the future. Would definitely recommend!

I've been bringing my vehicles to Ryder's for almost three years - everything from simple oil changes to timing belts and major suspension work. All the while, Tim and his crew have been nothing short of fantastic. They take time and care in diagnosing your vehicle's issues, communicating clearly what is (or isn't!) needed. They are totally straight shooters, and their prices are very competitive. A+ mechanics!

Prompt and excellent service

Ryders did an amazing job. They are honest, polite, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for auto service.

Tim and Troy just keep exceeding my expectations. This week they directed me on-line to a salvage yard in Detroit where I found a body shop part (truck tailgate) that was exactly exactly what I needed. Compared to local body shop estimates I saved at least $1,000 and 8 weeks because they generously spent 5-10 minutes giving me wise counsel. I'm very grateful for how they take such good care of my vehicles. Over a period of several years and with multiple vehicles Tim and Troy have consistently been very flexible, friendly, and fair with me. I'm pleased to have them in the neighborhood.

Honest owner and fair pricing on your automotive repairs 👍

I always get friendly service and I never worry that I will have trouble with my vehicle afterwards.

Seems like a genuine guy, upfront and honest. But he was unwilling to do business based on the work needed to be done for my vehicle. I can’t really say how good or bad his work is but if your problem isn’t simple and quick this place will likely not work on it.

I cannot recommend Ryder auto service center highly enough. Tim was extremely organized, knowledgeable and upfront. His shop is almost perfectly immaculate. He went beyond my expectations from having a towing agent basically on call, to quoting the work numerous times and thankfully coming in well under the worst case quote. Vehicle is humming now and Tim has a customer for life.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I’ve gotten at Ryders! If you want your vehicle diagnosed and fixed professionally, then this is the place to go. Nice guy too!

Quick and friendly service. I scheduled only a diagnostic but they ended up working me in and fixing my issue while I waited. Nice guys, and more importantly, honest guys. Highly recommended.

Tim and his team are great! We just moved to the area and looking for a new mechanic on short notice. They were timely, professional and informative. They will be our new go to for repairs and oil changes. Highly recommend them!

Very honest vehicle repair facility. Dropped my truck off for an estimate/repair that a DEALERSHIP in town suggested I get done! Not only did I not need the repair, but told me I probably didn't need the repair for at least a year. I guess they would like to be known for being honest than take your money for an unnecessary repair. Keep up the good work! My go to repair shop!👍
