More Than Just a Business: a Labor of Love Creating Masterpieces From Every Vehicle

Our company was born from a passion that started in high school, where a simple image in a book sparked a lifelong love for body repair. Ricardo A. Fernandez, the founder and President, knew early on that collision repair was his calling. After honing his skills at Universal Technical Institute in Houston and working at various body shops across New York and North Carolina, he realized that his true dream wasn’t just to repair cars but to build something of his own.

Through years of side work and seeing the joy his transformations brought to customers, Ricardo knew he wanted to create a business that combined his expertise and passion. Thus, Slick Rick’s Auto Works was born—named after the “Slick” nickname earned while detailing cars in high school. More than just a business, it’s a labor of love that focuses on making every vehicle a masterpiece.

Every customer interaction reminds Ricardo that he’s not just fixing cars; he’s making dreams come true. At Slick Rick’s Auto Works, it’s all about turning something broken into something beautiful—one car at a time. With each five-star review, Ricardo is reminded that he’s living his dream.
