Honestly, this is some of the best customer service Ive ever had. After calling for a tow truck my phone died before I was able to give Rick My complete location, he went out looking and eventually found me. He was able to help pinpoint some of the problems with my motorcycle and work with me so that I was able to continue my trip. He was even gracious enough to drive me to a hotel he helped me find at the end of the day. My whole experience with Rick Sornberger automotive was excellent, he went above and beyond what I ever would have expected.

Very very nice and professional. Called in and they listened to all my car issues and had me in the next day. After going to 4 different shops, Rick and his team was able to get me a answer the same day and point me in the right direction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was rescued by the kindness of Rick Sornberger Automotive. 4 hours into a 6 hour road trip from Michigan to a campsite in Pennsylvania I had a tire blow on my pop-up camper. After working with/waiting on AAA for 6 hours and sitting on the side of the freeway I called Rick Sornberger (after normal business hours) and left a voicemail with a plea for help. Rick called me back and after giving some additional detail determined that he may be able to help. Not only did he come to get our blown tire and spare tire (which was unusable) but he also coordinated getting a new tire on the blown and replacing the missing stem valve from the spare. Within 2 hours of my first call to him I was back on the road and able to make it to my campsite later that night.Rick is an absolute stand up person who could have charged me an arm and a leg, but gave us a very reasonable price for his above and beyond assistance. He saved the day when AAA fell short. He left his dinner table to save a stranger from Michigan on the side of the freeway when he could have easily ignored my message. If you have a need for roadside assistance in the Erie area, Rick has my full support!

Ive now had three cars in for service and have been very pleased on all fronts with Rick Sornberger Automotive. Their office staff are polite and professional over the phone and in the office. The mechanics are committed to a thorough and quality job, and they arent afraid to tackle the more confounding issues or more difficult fixes that other shops wont touch. The prices are in-line and comparable with other local private shops. Bravo! Its tough to find a place like this.

I requested tire prices, not only were the prices cheaper than other tire and car dealers I researched, but the staff was able to get me in the next day to have them put on. If you are looking for Hometown, honest, and reliable people contact them you will NOT be Disappointed

These guys towed my car when my transmission went out. Fast, professional, affordable and most importantly (no offense other tow companies) but I didnt feel at all like I was over paying. I was nervous about getting a tow, and in the end, Im glad I did it. No regrets. Good company.

My electric car needed to be towed. It’s battery was totally discharged (“my bad”). I called Nissan Roadside Assistance and they sent Rick Sornberger. I was very glad they did! Rick was helpful and a really nice guy.The car was in my garage and would not start, so it could not be shifted into Neutral to push it out. Rick did the problem-solving and safely moved it; loaded it on the tow truck platform and delivered it to my dealer’s service garage.Thank you, Rick.

Gave a work quote of $270 before work started, ended up charging over $430 when finished. Totally ripped off my mother. Get his quotes on paper or audio before turning over your vehicle to him.

Transmission went out on interstate and this wrecker service had a very fast response and fair price. Dispatcher, driver and owner were professional and courteous and made an unexpected situation a pleasant experience.

Outstanding service! The mechanic inspecting my vehicle called to inform me that although my rear breaks would pass, they were very low and should be replaced very soon. He was able to replace the breaks and rotors that afternoon, which was very convenient and most importantly, made my vehicle much safer, especially with bad weather soon arriving.

Best mechanic in the area by far. Even when I lived in Pittsburgh I couldnt find any shop as knowledgeable and reasonably priced as Ricks, so Id drive back to Erie every time I needed to have my car looked at.

This is my first time having to get a tow. I went down the list on Google & couldn’t believe how hard it was to get someone to do it. Until I got to them . They were by far the friendliest & most professional. They had my vehicle picked up & towed to the shop within hr. If this is your first place you come to .... don’t even bother with the others!!! Thank You so much & I will not hesitate to call you if needed again 😊

Last weekend after enjoying the tall ships I was met with a completely flat tire in a downtown parking garage. After being unable to free the lugnuts I contacted Rick Sornberger towing. They came out quickly and got on my way!! Highly recommended their services!

Great service and refreshingly honest. If you are looking for a dependable mechanic, Rick is that person. Treats you like you are family and earns your trust, which I had a hard time finding before I found Rick. You can not go wrong if you take your car to Ricks!

I couldnt get a tow to save my life in Erie... it was no, no, no... our trucks are down... we cant do it or no answer-- but Sornbergers picked up the phone and were RIGHT THERE. Not only that but very polite and appreciative of the business. Thank you Rick Sornberger Automotive for saving my day and doing it with a smile :)

Rick and his crew went above and beyond to help me during a tight situation. I had just moved to the area and he was able to assist me with an issue that every other garage was unable to help me with. Whether its a simple tow or mechanical repair...do yourself a huge favor and call Rick.

Car broke down this morning and was stranded on the side of the road. Within 30 minutes of me calling, they were there to tow it to my mechanic. Rick, the tow truck driver, looked under my car and found the problem and relayed the information to my mechanic. Outstanding work!

Review №49

Got a rack and pinion installed. I was told it would have a life time warranty if I get a filter installed to it. Everything went well until I went to leave work and I lost all power steering because the whole filter exploded and leaked out all the fluid. This happened 3 times. After the 3rd time they never fixed it and left me hanging. I gave up and sold my car later down the road after not wanting to deal with it again.

While on vacation I missed seeing my family for Christmas, after I return I hear about an encounter between my father and this man, after all the snow issues Im sure rick was out helping people. My father went around him while he was towing someone due to his jeep having 4wd. Rick then followed my father and shouted obscenities at him about his driving. Please do not use this mans services, clearly he has no respect for people, and on Christmas of all the days.

Only giving 4 stars because they are quite expensive compared to others but I called they were here in 15 minutes and during winter during on and off snow and ice so they are good as far as getting to you quicker when you need them even though they are expensive I will call them again when and if needed the lady on the other end of the phone is very nice.
