Paulette Swanson
had this to say:
They do great work and are very friendly. Their pricing is reasonable, and sometimes work payments.

had this to say:
I took a used car to Ray's for a pre-purchase inspection and I was very favorably impressed! They got me in within a day, and worked around my flaky scheduling without complaint. Steve, the mechanic who did the inspection, was obviously extremely competent, and turned around a very thorough inspection in about an hour and a half. Steve explained everything he found to me in non-mechanic terms and contextualized the results considering the age and mileage of the car. Seldom have I spend $150 so wisely. His evaluation allowed me to negotiate an equatable price from a position of strength. I strongly recommend Ray's Auto Center.

had this to say:
Very helpful in getting you an appointment to fix what ails your vehicle. Knowledgeable on a large range of vehicles. They're up to date on quite a few vehicles, but if you're driving Euro cars (BMW, Audi) and need more in-depth repairs done, Strictly Euro Auto in Century Plaza off of 100th in Lakewood is an excellent choice as well.
