RLS Auto & Truck Repair opened in Franklintown on September 1, 2011. Owner Rick Shindel, Jr always wanted to work for himself, and offer his skill and education to help others. Rick holds many certifications in heavy-duty truck repair and diesel technology, with expertise in electrical systems, hydraulic and air brake systems, heavy-duty and light-duty suspension, tire technology, air conditioning, and OBD2 diagnostics. But not wanting to limit himself or his customers, the shop provides general automotive repair services for all types of foreign and domestic cars and trucks.
Working in truck shops, Rick gained management skills (he was generally in charge of anywhere between 10 to 25 mechanics at a time, scheduling workloads and providing diesel technology training) as well as further mechanical training himself. Today, he has two decades of repair industry experience, and our team has over 30 years of combined experience maintaining and fixing vehicles. All of us here at RLS Auto & Truck Repair value honesty and quality, and love that our jobs are hands-on and different every single day.
