Richie Rich Mobile Mechanic / South Bay Mobile Mechanic

I'm going through my mid life crisis. I had sold my 1965 GT Fastback that I had owned for my whole life when my kids were about four years old. They are now 24 and 22 years old and my wife agreed to let me buy another one. Not only did I buy a 65 GT FB, but I also bought a 1970 Boss 302 because like I said, I'm going through a mid life crisis and always wanted one. My Boss 302 clutch went out on the way home from the East Coast where I bought it. My regular mechanic was busy and normally only works on BMW's and my red GT had been sitting for a few months at his shop so I needed to find a new mechanic to help out. I went online and searched and luckily found Richie Rich after reading all the reviews (yes even the one negative). I wasn't going to marry the guy I just needed to know if he could fix my car. He showed up on time and was very responsive. He got to work right away and pulled the clutch assembly apart. He had to remanufacture the replacement clutch assembly to do the job correctly because the previous mechanic rigged it to "just make it work". I want things done correctly. He then gave me the name of his muffler/exhaust guy and had any future problems solved. He showed up there to make sure it was done properly and further adjust the clutch since it was on a lift. Since fixing the clutch issue I'm having him replace the power steering hoses which are leaking because it was clamped when it need to be screwed in. He is also taking care of some window trim that will make the car basically in fully mint condition. I am going to include a picture of my mint 1965 GT Fastback which Richie will take care of next week because it just needs a distributor and some wires. I wouldn't trust anyone else to work on my classics because he is hard working, honest and has a very fair price. I even refered Richie to my neighbor who has a 1990 Corvette (paper weight) sitting in his garage for ten years not running. I would not hesitate to call Richie Rich. I'm actually worried that my review will keep him too busy to help me in the future.

Richie is the best auto mechanic one can ever dream of. He works on all type of cars, really knowledgeable, skillful, pay attention to details. I have two Land Rovers, and Richie has been my designated mechanic for the past two years. We replaced CV joints, brake rotors and pads, control arms’ bushing, etc. Besides wonderful service, his price is extreme reasonable. Moreover, He is always on time. The only concern is that he is almost always fully booked. You need to make an appointment at least 4-5 days ahead. I am not surprised. Everyone wants a good mechanics.

Richie was punctual and extremely knowledgeable. He knew right away what to do and how to fix it without any run around. He got both cars running quickly and efficiently, I would highly recommend him and his service for all your car needs and concerns.

Fantastic experience with a great mechanic! My Subaru had a bent tie rod, Richie showed up promptly as scheduled, he diagnosed the problem quickly and went the extra mile literally because the parts needed were not available near by , he drove a little bit out of his way and got everything done that same morning, I stood by and he explained everything he did and was very transparent. Please tip the man if he does work for you it’s hard to find honest mechanics like Richie he’s my go to from now on 👍

With not many good people to trust out there now a days, Rich is a righteous and stand out dude for the service and dedication he puts in to making sure everything is right and how it should be with your vehicle. I owe him a lot for the help and care over he provided me and I will not have my cars looked at by anyone else. And he comes out to you with all the tools to do the job…no brainier Thank you Rich!
