- MRmza rzSep 19, 20255.0I couldn't be happier with the service I received at this auto shop. From start to finish, the team was professional, honest, and incredibly skilled. They did an excellent job on my car — it runs better than ever! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing things right. It's rare to find people who take such pride in their work, and it really shows here. If you're looking for a trustworthy, top-quality auto shop with the best people in the business, look no further. Highly recommended!
- BDBobby DonohueAug 30, 20255.0Cannot recommend enough. Carlos the owner, and his staff are all friendly, professional, and competent. I'm new to the area and needed a garage I can walk to/from. Luckily, this was the nearest shop, and I could not be happier with the outcome and experience. They got everything done quickly, and on top of all that, it cost less than I was expecting.

- EMEduardo MaderoJul 22, 20255.0I just want to give a huge appreciation to the owner or the person I worked with on my car. I asked for an oil change and mentioned a few concerns, and not only did they handle the oil change, but they also fixed the stalling issue I was having. They diagnosed an alignment problem that even big chain mechanics couldn’t figure out. The mechanic here was incredibly experienced and got to the root of the problem quickly. The service was professional, and I truly appreciate the time and care they put into my car.
- DDDylanJul 5, 20255.0Took my car there with busted ass drum brakes, like all went south and was pissing brake fluid everywhere, my man saved me with quick turn around, no car repair salesman tactics, just took care of me and the car. Great price, great work, will absolutely be back!!! 10 stars outta 5. Will be back.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ribeiro's Carl-Fern Auto Service Station, Inc.
How often should my oil be changed?
It is normally suggested to replace conventional oil every 3,000 miles and synthetic oil every 5,000-6,000 miles.
What is the recommended maintenance schedule?
Maintenance is typically recommended every 10,000 miles or every two oil changes, including the air filter, cabin filter, fluids, tires, and brakes. Always refer to your manufacturer's handbook for detailed maintenance instructions.
How do I know my air conditioner is not working properly?
If your vehicle's air conditioning isn't operating correctly, it may need to be recharged, have a fluid leak, or require more extensive maintenance. Each scenario is unique, so please call us to schedule an appointment for a diagnosis.
What causes a vehicle to overheat?
A variety of circumstances might cause your car to overheat. A lack of fluid movement and circulation, as well as low fluid levels, will cause a vehicle to overheat. Other typical problems include a broken water pump, radiator, head gasket, or thermostat repair. If you are having any of these concerns, please contact us right away.
Why are my brakes grinding or squeaking?
Brake grinding suggests that brake pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and/or brake shoes should be changed. Any squeaking noise should be reported to a service technician right away before it becomes a greater problem.
What does it mean if my check engine light comes on?
Many sensors and computerized components govern your vehicle's engine performance and emissions. When one of these components fails, the check engine light turns on. Although your automobile appears to be in good working order, the problem must be resolved to avoid long-term difficulties or emission test failure. Please contact us if you are having any of these concerns, which range from electrical to mechanical.
