Full Service Auto Repair Shop

First things first, we have to say a few things about us. Rick’s isn’t a one-trick-pony, but a shop to handle all your auto needs. We work on all makes and models, and handle both maintenance and repair services so we can serve everyone in the Stillwater area. But now let’s talk about you, our customer, and how we can meet all of your auto service needs. Rick’s 36 Automotive is a customer-needs-come-first-type of auto repair shop. That means, we always do what’s best for you, your vehicle, and your wallet. We understand the importance of your transportation, because, after all, we’re Stillwater drivers as well. We treat your vehicle’s service like they were our own, with the utmost care and attention.

Full Team of ASE-Certified Technicians!

Every technician on the Rick’s 36 team is ASE-Certified as assurance of their quality. ASE is short for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, and certification has been the gold standard for testing and certifying automotive professionals since 1972. When our ASE-Certified techs say we have your back, you can breathe easy knowing that your local “dream team” is on the job. So we only employ the industry’s best technicians; and a great mechanic is made even better with the right equipment.

Continuous Training for Your Benefit

The best techniques and best equipment are why we continue to stay abreast of every advancement in the field. As the engineers become more innovative, the vehicles become more leading-edge. All mechanics have to become more educated and receive more training. We want our customers to know that we’re always doing what’s best for their vehicle. Our automotive skills and talents are unmatched in this area. We’ve spent more than a couple decades earning the trust of the Stillwater community, and keeping our highways packed with well-running vehicles. We can’t wait to add you to our family of customers.

Make Yourself At Home–We Have

Our current owner Mars Overlee has traveled around the world, and he’s found that no place compares to the St. Croix Valley area. Since opening the shop in 1989, Mars and the team of experts at Rick’s 36 Automotive Service have loved serving and being an asset to this community. From our nine bay facility we go above and beyond all of your auto repair expectations. It’s our passion and our pleasure to keep your vehicle in excellent road condition.
