Ribaudos Auto Repair was opened by Carlos Ribaudos in 2010 after nearly a decade working in dealership service departments. The idea behind starting independently was straightforward: provide the same quality of technical work, but with more transparency and without the sales pressures that can come with franchise environments.
Over the years, the workshop has grown steadily — we now have four full-time technicians and a service advisor — but the core approach hasn't changed. Every vehicle is treated as if it belongs to someone who relies on it every day, because it does.
We're based in the centre of A Coruña and the large majority of our customers come from the city and surrounding municipalities — many of whom have been coming to us for years. That kind of continued trust means a lot to us, and it shapes how we approach every job.
These guide how we approach every vehicle and every customer interaction.
Clear quotes before work begins. No additional charges without your approval. Straightforward explanations of what was found and why it matters.
We identify the actual cause before recommending a repair. Replacing parts that might be the problem wastes your money and doesn't solve anything reliably.
If a repair isn't worth doing, or a part doesn't need replacing yet, we'll tell you. Our goal is your vehicle's long-term reliability, not a larger invoice.
Repairs are carried out completely and correctly. No half-measures that look acceptable today but cause problems in three months.
