John and Rich are great!! I had some work done on my vehicle and it came out awesome! These guys are very knowledgable and customer service was fantastic.

Had my type R steering rack opinion replaced by Rick and he did a fantastic job very helpful always calling with updates. I will for sure be going back to you guys with any car problems in the near future I highly recommend suggest this company to bring your vehicle to. Thank you Rick for a great experience.

I have enjoyed my experiences with bringing my car here. John and everyone here is super nice and their time and expertise is much appreciated

Rick is the absolute man. An OG in the automotive performance world. There isn’t anything this guy can’t do or work on. Top notch fabrication, mechanical work, attention to detail, tuning on all platforms. Rick has spent the better part of four years building and tuning my car to the point of perfection. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for top quality work from a master at his craft to contact Racetek.

Had a great experience at this shop! The dealership could not make me a duplicate programed key for my 04 BMW, and Rick was able to do it! Customer service and follow up was fantastic, I would highly recommend for all service, especially with performance and foreign vehicles.

I brought my 2017 Honda Civic Type R in for a squeaky clutch pedal and John was very helpful walking me through everything i needed. Great Customer service answered every question i had and kept me up to date on what was going on with my car. if you need anything from a Oil change to a new clutch install i highly recommend these guys.

Rick always goes above and beyond. I have used his company multiple times and always had great results. Thank you for your passion.

RaceTek Automotive is hands down the most trustworthy and reliable shop I’ve ever worked with. Rick, the owner, and his team go above and beyond for their customers. When my 1 Series BMW wouldn’t start in my driveway, I reached out to see if they could help. Rick personally stepped in and offered to tow my car to the shop with his own trailer—and he wouldn’t even charge me because I live nearby. That kind of generosity and care is practically unheard of. The issue was diagnosed as a faulty starter, which they replaced perfectly. While my car was at the shop, I had them handle a few other repairs as well because I trust Rick and his team completely. Their professionalism, honesty, and expertise make them a standout in the industry. Rick is not just a skilled professional but also an incredibly kind and loyal person who truly values his customers. He takes pride in his work and runs his business with integrity and care. Whether you need something small or a major repair, RaceTek/Absolute Auto Care is the place to go. Their level of service and dedication is unmatched. I’m beyond grateful to have such a reputable and dependable shop so close to home. Thank you, Rick and team, for everything!

Great guy I love Rick he does the best work I travel 2hrs to come see him and take care of my Eagle talon because he is honest and trustworthy and very fair will only use him

Brought my 2002 S2000 in for an AP2 valve retainer upgrade. The people at Racetek are extremely knowledge about the S2000 and answered every question/concern I had. I dealt with Rick and Jerene, both were very kind and helpful through the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my car back to them if I need any other work done. They seem to be a very busy shop, so just keep that in mind.

Ricky does great work. They can do a lot of custom work and use parts provided. Of course you get what you pay for. Call them ahead of time and plan your job though as sometimes they are booked out atleast 3 weeks to a month.

I brought my 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX STI in for a tune. The entire team was very knowledgeable. I am very pleased with the way my tune came out and the overall experience I had while doing business with Racetek. I look forward to doing business again with them in the future for my next tune.

These guys are so into there work,, very reliable and they waste no time ,,,(don't wait, if you need fixing,and customization,,look them up

This shop does superior work. Performance tuning and building.

Second time at Racetek and extremely satisfied. First time they got my 2003 S2000 with 100K running like brand new with a full valve adjustment, last week fixed the exhaust quickly and at a great price. Cannot miss at this shop.

Hands-down one of the best shops I’ve ever been to for maintenance/performance upgrades. Rick and his crew got my Toyota FJ Cruiser running amazing with a new clutch! Very timely, very efficient, always kept me up-to-date as well and made recommendations that I did as well with him. Super happy and thank you!

Rick was a pleasure to deal with, he smoothed the tune out on my 1000whp Corvette, after a few failed attempts at other shops (car would not drive smooth under partial throttle) Rick took it in and smoothed the tune out, you would never know that car makes the power it does it drives excellent!

Took my car there twice for a hondata ecu reflash and made the car feel so much better, had a issue with some accidental damage to my car but was rectified by the manager Rick. Came good on it and would not hesitate to recommend this place now. Thanks again!

The service performed on my vehicle was outstanding, Rick and his team are true professionals I will recommend his services too anyone in need of automotive services!

My brother used these guys, and what should have been a simple tune on the dyno turned into a NIGHTMARE. He paid extra to have it pre inspected so that it would be simple to tune without having to go through anymore trouble. Somehow, after the guy tuned it, the 5.3 ran worse then when he dropped it off. Apparently, due to a bad o2 sensor (which should have been caught during the $135 pre inspection) caused the car to be un-tuneable. He also blamed fumes from the cut exhaust (which was only shortened a few inches to be flush with the rear bumper) for being unable to sit in the cabin of the car. I assume he has a vent or exhaust system for that and is just reaching for excuses. Over all, he has had the car in his physical position for over a month and was unable to preform a basic tune on the car. He's now refusing any refund. My brother now has a car that wont even idle at red light and is out $775.

I choose to use this company due to their amount of positive reviews, I read a lot of people were very pleased with the service they received, and I’m sure those reviews were legitimate and this company has most likely done a very good job for a lot of people. I however am not so lucky. I went in and talked to Rick after installing a cam in my gm 5.3. He said he could tune the car so I set up my appointment, payed 135.00 for pre inspection, 150.00 for licensing fees, and 490.00 for time to tune. A total of 775.00. I dropped the car off to him for the pre inspection he said it was all set to put on the dyno, he then ran it on the dyno, made his adjustments and called to let me know it was all set. I picked up the car and noticed a couple issues. It would surge about 400rpm while in park or neutral, had a blinking check engine light, and would stall intermittently when coming to a stop. I called him and explained this, he explained the o2 sensors were acting as if they were going bad, and my exhaust was not routed out far enough from the vehicle causing fumes in side the cabin, Rick asked me to solve these issues and bring the car back, I replaced the o2 sensors and extended the exhaust and dropped the car off. About a week went by and I had not heard from him, it was difficult to get in touch with him due to him loosing the receptionist. When I finally got in touch with him he explained he was working on the car here and there, I told him take his time (my mistake), after him having the car for 20 days I had enough and had a friend pick up the car. The car now is worse than ever and un drivable, it stalls every time you let off the throttle and still surges and has the same check engine light issue. I called Rick and asked him to refund my money minus the fee for licensing because I didn’t think he should have to loose money on material. He refused to refund any money but did offer to let me take the car back, I am now out 775.00 and will need to find another shop that is more familiar with gm vehicles.

Rick is top notch!! Keep it up. 100% recommend you get all upgrades and repairs done here.

Recently went in for some exhaust work and cooling install, couldn't be happier with how everything came out. Everyone over there really takes care of you and makes sure you leave with the end result you're looking for. These guys know their stuff, highly recommend.

The Team at Racetek was very professional and more importantly spent the time to get it right. Rick is very knowledgeable and got my Evo running like a dream. The only place I would trust touching my car in the area. Highly recommended. Will be back for more service!

I went up for a tune on Saturday as well as air filter and spark plugs. I told them I live an hour away. They said They could do it while I wait. The owner set me up with some Netflix and the few hours just flew by. Top notch service and my car runs great. I would highly recommend.

Went here about a year ago, needing a new clutch for my 2011 WRX. Subaru wanted like $2200... Rick does great work and for very reasonable money. They are just 1 exit into NH, so not far from Boston to get solid work done by people you trust. I've been back 2 or 3 times for other work. They are responsive, accommodating, and professional.

A friend told me about racetek before they were even officially open. Rick was always in touch with me with what was going on with the rebuild of the engine. Rick is the only person i will allow to work on this car 1997 eclipse gst
