Zero star, had Rick do a pre-sale inspection for 90 bucks, said car was in great shape. After i purchased the car i got the dealer records and it was previously diagnosed with an oil pump leak, upon further inspection sure enough fresh oil on the side of the engine.

I recommend his shop and Rick's HONESTY to anyone, TOTALLY STISFIED!! Thank you...
