Angry Ricks Car Care

Ive been ripped off! took my can there a while ago, long story short after waiting a year the car was never finished. I went there last monday to drop off a deposit, ask rick to get the car ready and ask him what needed to be done. He said the harness just needed bo be connected but was already in the car spliced repinned and ready to go. I though the bill was still kinda steep but i wanted my car back so i paid it and told him i would be back on thursday to pick it up. When i came back thursday he seemed suprised that I was there. I looked into the shop and the car was still in the exact same place it was in when I came eirlyer that week. So i asked him to move it to the front and said AAA would be there in 45 mins. I went to sit in the lobby to make a phone call and walk out and my cars sitting on jackstands. I couldnt see what he was doing but i assumed he was just giving it a once over to make sure he didnt make any mistakes. So i ignore it and continue with my call. then when the tow truck comes he pushes it out to some parking spaces and i find out my window is broken. i ask him and he gives me this dumb iono look when he knows damn well he broke it. When i get home i check under the hood and find my can has no wiring competed at all and for some reason there are 3 harnesses in the back. WTF i only gave him 2 cars. The donor car and the mustang. I then notice 2 driveshafts in the car, i look under the car and find that not only is the exhaust gone (it was new when i gave him the car) but the driveshaft isnt even in the car. I was told this work was done and thats what i paid for. Then i realize he also stole the battery. I Dont even know that else is missing but i plan to pursue this legaly if i dont either get my stuff returned or paid for the amout of work I paid for and he didnt complete, the exhaust and the labor for it and the battery. Ill finish the work myself.

I've always heard good things about Rick, this is the 1st time I have ever heard anything negative about him or his shop.

so get your jeans on...go back to ricks car care and tell him your problems...we cant do anything to help you....

he is the one you need to talk to...not us...
