Dale Hutchins spent twelve years at dealerships watching customers say yes to repairs they did not understand. In 2009 he opened Ridgeback with one rule: if we cannot show you the problem, we do not sell you the fix.
Today six technicians work four bays on South Boulevard. Most of our customers found us through a neighbor, and most of them have stopped going anywhere else.
Every recommendation comes with a photo or video, sent to your phone.
We tell you what is a safety issue, what can wait and what is fine.
The approved estimate is the price. If we find more, we ask first.
Every estimate comes with photos, priorities and a price that does not move without your okay.
