Richie's Airline Garage

Well to be plain as simple ,I have a 2020 vehicle that I’m leasing to own and the head gasket blew because of a bad water pump, I was recommended to a affordable mechanic that worked from home. Long story short I got the vehicle back in worse condition I brought it in, then two months down the road it started running hot again. Been having bad luck since I got the car, so I asked around again for a real shop mechanic . This is when I was recommended to Richie airline garage and I must say from the beginning him his son Hunter and jimmy was on the job immediately which was good cause I was paying for a rental car, they kept me informed on the progress of the vehicle every step of the way. The quality of their work speaks for itself. I bought a replacement motor cause the old engine was tras

I've been turning wrenches myself for over 30 years. So I'm extremely picky and really hesitant about letting anyone work on my vehicles. Upon meeting Richie, I knew that he was an experienced mechanic. I hired him to rebuild the ring and pinion on my 2001 Ford F150. They completed this critical project. I say critical because it was a very technical job. Requiring precision work. He informed me of a front bearing issue and showed me the problem. I had him replace both sides. He and his son did an EXCELLENT job on my truck. He is a straight-up and honest mechanic. He even quoted me the price and stuck to it. People with his work ethic and experience are rare. I would highly recommend his garage.

Incompetent shop... avoid this place at all cost. I would explain it all but don't want to use up 1 gig bite of internet net space. I say this so you so won't have go through what I did. So please save you a big headache and your money, don't use this place. $125.00 per hr rate for Incompetent so called Mechanics. You did other Diagnostics by removing plugs on bank 2 to test and like I knew already,the timing jump, but failed to mention and instead just suggested I install new spark plugs.

I have known this man and his family since childhood, has always provided great service and had more mechanical knowledge as a kid than most grown mechanics I've met in my life. This guy had his hands and head under the hood before he could see over the hood! If you need someone you can trust, someone that is knowledgeable and reliable he's your man!

Highly recommend!!! Professional staff & service; the owner is so reasonable with prices (both parts & Labor), and thorough in describing the problem, & the getting to the solution. First true mechanic in 8 years of living in Corpus. Bring your car to Ritchie’s if you need proper, priced-right, and prompt service !!!
