Rick’s Service Center
Owego, NY

Rick’s Service Center is a trusted automotive repair and maintenance shop located at 111 Southside Drive (Route 434) in Owego, NY. Founded in 1984 by the late Richard “Rick” Taylor Jr., this locally-owned garage has built a steadfast reputation over four decades for honest, upfront pricing, expert diagnostics, and a genuine concern for driver safety. Historically known as the place other mechanics turned to when a repair had everyone else stumped, the shop continues to honor that legacy today under the guidance of Rick's son, Austin, who has worked beside him for over 25 years.

From routine oil changes and official New York State safety and emissions inspections to complex engine diagnostics and 4x4 maintenance—highly popular in the region's wintery conditions—Rick’s Service Center handles it all. Their experienced team leverages deep automotive knowledge and a personalized approach to spot developing issues early, preventing costly breakdowns. Whether you need a check engine light diagnosed, suspension work on a vintage Subaru, or routine brake service, Rick's Service Center remains Owego's go-to destination for reliable, comprehensive car care.
