Am I really the first to review Risk's Auto? What an honor! I dropped off my 06 Mitsubishi Raider pickup to investigate a continuous ticking sound under the hood. It sounded like tappets to me and had been that way for 2 years. Two years ago while having a smog check the mechanic said that was normal for these vehicles. I trusted him but the ticking kept getting louder each month. Finally, fearing for a big engine repair if I don't investigate I took it to Rick's. I priced tappets and the first day Rick said they were going to pull the valve cover. Later he called and explained it was not tappets but rather my exhaust manifold gasket or a warped manifold. The next day he confirmed it was both. I authorized a replacement manifold with came with a new gasket. A couple hours later before closing time I could pick up my truck. My truck sings like the first day I bought it now and I was only out of my truck for a little over one day. I call that professionalism and mechanical expertise. Thank you mechanic Bob. I don't require auto repair very often but when I do I certainly know where to head to. When I went to pay Rick he showed me my old manifold. It rocked like a baby on his counter. The one end was about 1/8" higher than the other end. WOW! I think I just saved me a bunch of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
