Richters may be the best auto service shop I have used over 40+ years. They are friendly, very responsive, reliable and reasonably priced. I brought my car in again today, this time to have the SUV hatch struts replaced. I purchased my own struts and they happily installed them. Dave, the manager, obviously has a long background in auto repair and maintained and is particularly responsive and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about Richters.

Friendly, professional, prompt service for the last 40 years! It's always a pleasure doing business with Richter's. They take excellent care of cars and customers.

Great and reliable work ! Checked brakes and found no need to change at this time ...manifests great integrity !!!! Air conditioning hasn't worked this well in several years - you found the problem and resolved it when prior attempts failed. You are now my go-to mechanic and will probably start seeing other work from Paramus Catholic HS. Thanks and God Bless ! Father Don Hummel, Chaplain - Paramus Catholic HS

“I was very happy and pleased with my experience at Richter's. They were imformative, courteous and professional. Their credentials, business history and qualified experience speak for themselves. A respectable trustworthy automotive service, I wish I had discovered them sooner. This will now be the only place I take my 2007 Mercedes e350.”

Richter's, the only place I go to have my car serviced because they do the job right, on time, and the price is fair.

You can tell a lot about a business by the greeting you get at the front desk. At Richter's it is pleasant, informative, helpful and professional... all delivered by Chris. Each of my visits has been very satisfying. When you take your car in, the work, price and time are all stated. Chris, will call if anything else comes up. There are no surprises here - just honesty and pride in good workmanship.

Dealer-quality work. Neighbor honesty. CARFAX Top-Rated, year after year.
Richter's is one of the oldest shops in Ridgewood. George Richter opened it in 1935 to do thorough, affordable work and to keep customers for life. Paul and Polly Rennie still run it that way. Some families we have known can be measured in generations. Honest estimates — if it doesn't need to be done, we tell you.
