Frigiking of Simi

The guys at FrigiKing hooked this brother up. My rig is ice cold. Thanks Trevor and Charles.

Charles was incredible. Couldn’t ask for better service. Took my vehicle in and he was working on another vehicle but took the time to talk about what problems I was having with the car. Then different than others said lets first try to just re charge the system and see how it holds. He did it while I waited and within 30 minutes I was done. It’s a 25 year old car and now blows 37 degrees without any costly repairs. Others always went right to you probably need a new compressor because the car is so old. They never even looked at it. And… a new compressor is very expensive. He fixed it fast and at a very reasonable price. If you’re having air issues this is the place to go.

I have been to Frigiking 4 times over the years, after this business was originally recommended by my trusted mechanic. The first 2 times he was honest enough to say the repair would be more than the car was worth and not worth it. The last two times my air conditioning was fixed quickly and for such a fair price. You can totally trust this business.

I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla that needed servicing for the AC. I got there very early; Bills Radiator Service next door took down my info since no one was there yet. I left my car there and was told I’d get a call soon. I have good faith in people so I was fine leaving my car there. Sure enough, I got a call a little later (from Charles, I believe) telling me the cost and I told him to proceed, which he told me my car would be ready in an hr. About 15 or 20 minutes later, he called back and told me to come pick my car up. Turns out it was a bad relay. It was a quick and painless process.
Unfortunately, the guy I was with, made me go back to try to «fight the price» because I thought it was a little steep. The mechanic very calmly broke down the cost and then asked what price the guy I was with, thought was a fair deal. He received no answer because. that’s just the kind of guy he is. Anyway, the mechanic said that since I was displeased, I could have my money back. ALL OF IT! The guy I was with has no heart and no morals. I tried to give the mechanic $ 20 and then $ 60 and he continued to refuse. I felt horrible.
Now, I’m not telling you, the reviewer, that you should try to get your money back, I’m telling you my story to show what an honest, humble and fair company this is. They have outstanding customer service and I don’t know any other mechanic that would have given a full refund! Some great advice for anyone, is to ask their fees/​rates before giving the go-​ahead to do work and if you agree to a price, you should pay it.
I highly recommend coming here, I know I’ll definitely be back :)

I have a 1986 BMW 635csi that needed its air conditioning serviced. I was given a straight forward assessment of what the system needed. They fixed the problem and stayed within their estimate. Now, between Rick (owner) and Charles, I have a cold air once again. Recommended.

Charles evacuated the system, checked for leaks, no charge! He installed my compressor and filled the system and I have great a/​c for less than half what Bill’s Quality Auto quoted me! (Bill’s Quality Auto Care charged me $ 80 to evacuate and check for leaks!). I highly recommend Frigiking!

Charles is a nice guy. Thanks for the help

Honest, Reliable, & Super Rates!!! Rick is the best around! My limousine company is located in Westlake Village, but I drive my fleet all the way over to Simi when it comes to my AC repairs! Why? Because Rick is the best around… He’s been in business for years, has saved me a fortune with some preventative maintenance, and always willing to go the extra mile if need be. I can’t thank him enough for all his work on my vehicles and if you need any AC work done, he is your man!!! Thanks Rick!

II was refereed to Frigiking by an old time experienced mechanic even though it was a long drive to get there, I expected the worst even after reading all the wonderful reviews. My air conditioner was not very cold and cycled off and on. I had taken it in for estimates of what needed to be done at two other shops. They both recommended a very expensive process of replacing many major parts. As it turned out non of that was necessary. Rick the owner is one of those rare brilliant talented persons who put honesty and fairness before his own self interests. It’s amazing to watch him work, his years of experience are so obvious but even more important how well he relates to customers. In my eighty plus years I have never been treated so well by any auto repair shop. If you have an air conditioning problem you will never find a more knowledgeable and consciences person, who you can rely on, to be honest and more then fair in fixing your A/​C problem.

This place is GREAT! My AC stopped working and started making weird noises. I drove up to Frigiking and Rick greeted me and asked how he could help. I told him what was going on and he took the time right then and there to look at my car and give me a quick opinion. I got lucky he wasn’t working on any other cars but something tells me that he would’ve taken the same time to talk to me.
He looked at my system and gave me his opinion. I told him that I was decent with my hands and that I was going to try and change the compressor myself. I told him that my only concern was the refrigerant already in the system. He said not to worry and he properly dumped the system for me (using his machine).
He gave me a quote and some tips and told me to call him back if I had any issues.
Great place! Great service! I’m glad I found him here! Don’t hesitate to go to Frigiking! Rick will take care of you and give you honest advice!

This place is great! I am the maintenance manager of a local limousine company and we bring all our vehicles here for A/​C needs. They have great customer service and affordable pricing… I would recommend them to anybody!

Today is Friday. I’m leaving Monday in the RV and I realized I had not had the A/​C checked since the last time I took it out. How dumb can I be? (Hold the comments please!) Coming home from the last trip, it was 110 degrees in the Valley, and we hit it with no A/​C! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I looked at the weather this morning and saw that Monday’s temps are supposed to be in the 90’s! Ahhh April in So Cal, you gotta love it! Anyway, the place where I keep the RV, recommended Frigiking. A quick call and Rick said I could just bring it in and he would take a look, I should be on my way toot sweet. How kewl (all pun intended) is that? Sure enough, I rolled in, he diagnosed the problem, remedied it, and had me on my way in about 30 minutes! To top it off I thought his pricing was beyond fair! If not for Rick, I would be sweatin’ it out again on Monday! This was the best last minute fix ever! If you have an RV you know that to take it to any repair center, you need an appointment at least 2 weeks in advance. Rick only needed a few minutes warning!
Thank you Rick and Frigiking! I will be thinking about you while I am not sweating on my road trip next week!
Humbly submitted,
Moi

Excellent service… I been going to Frigiking for years… Even after moving away from Simi Valley I still come here… Just bought a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible… A/​C was blowing weak… Rick worked on the car and found the system was just low on freon… Added and tested the system and was on my way… Works great and highly recommend Frighking to anyone for your auto a/​c needs…

The AC in my 2001 Xterra stopped working and we suspected a leak: (The boyfriend and I took it to Frigiking at the suggestion of a repair shop in Agoura Hills. Rick at Frigiking was so great! He looked at my vehicle right away. He found the problem, which was a bad high pressure hose. Rather than order a Nissan replacement hose, which would have cost a lot more, he hooked me up with one of his custom made hoses. Recharged the AC and had it freezing cold in no time. I highly recommend Frigiking. Although I had the boyfriend with me, I believe Rick would have been straight with me had I been by myself. And the parts and labor were very reasonable.

Rick at FrigiKing is great. He knows his stuff and is upfront with pricing. He provided a detailed invoice upfront and was straight forward. He also has a clean shop which to me says a lot about the quality of work and pride he takes in his work. I will absolutely return to Rick for any a/​c and heating work I need on my vehicles.

I work over at a dealership in thousand oaks and I’ve been sending work to rick for years. After my last recent experience, with how helpful he was I decided to come by and see if he had a Unilocal page. For years now any time I have had a problem with an AC system, whether a part just needed a pressure check or if we need a whole system flush it always goes to Frigiking. Rick’s a great guy, nice, honest, and always manages to carve time out of his schedule to take care of me. You can tell he values his customers and does everything it takes to make them happy.
First rate service from a world class business. Thanks for everything Rick!
