About Us
richard ernst
and the auto care academy
Richard Ernst, a seasoned entrepreneur with experience across more than 12 industries, founded Richard Assists with the mission of guiding small businesses from creation to successful sale. Drawing from this extensive background, Richard has helped build numerous ventures, tailoring strategies for growth and sustainability
In parallel, Richard’s personal experience of owning and maintaining over 30 cars revealed a gap in consumer knowledge about car maintenance. He saw the importance of car owners taking charge of their vehicle’s condition, not only to save on costs but also to ensure road safety. This insight led to the creation of the Auto Care Academy.
The Academy was designed to empower everyday car owners with the knowledge of how their vehicles function and how to perform basic maintenance. Richard developed in-person classes that are simple to follow, giving attendees the confidence to handle routine car care and recognize when it’s time to consult a professional mechanic. This proactive approach helps participants prevent costly repairs and keeps their vehicles in top condition, promoting long-term vehicle safety and performance.

HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Richard! I enjoyed your class. Even though I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about automobiles, I picked up a few tips that will help me in the future. But more people importantly people like my wife and children, who have not ever been involved in analyzing any car issues would benefit from your class. Cars are important for our everyday lives and unfortunately expensive to maintain, so I was glad that you were covering some of the pros and cons of repairs and professional services. Very well prepared and presented.
Hello Richard,
It was nice to have a comfortable, gathering that helped me realize there are many things on an automobile I can monitor and even take care of myself. The best part was how you highlighted the main few things a person with little background in automobile should keep an eye on, very helpful! Thank you for the information you sent home with us, I feel empowered!
Thank you, Cindy.
