Love this place. I never have to address any issues because I trust them so much. They're always on base and I have never experienced a negative interaction with them. They are honest and fair. I willingly and honestly recommend them 100%.

Best auto service shop I've been to since I first became a customer in 2019. Peter & Joe are top of the line knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Excellent service, shop and team. 10/10

Went there for tire service and felt the man, I think Peter is his name, was talking to me in a condescending way as if I was a child. Probably won't be coming back for a while or ever again. Update: He called me this morning and was a bit hostile. He told me I left this review because I couldn't afford the service, which isn't what the review says at all and isn't why I wrote this review. He also told me that as a customer he'll give me a one star rating. Quite childish behavior to call due to a rating if I'm being honest.

Excellent experience! Peter took care of my old Acura, checking the oil and offering estimates for work that needs to be done down the road apiece. I'm about to send my husband to him to check out his old Volvo. Convenient, pleasant waiting room, professional staff. This is a winner! Service: Oil change

Joe was very helpful and quick with an estimate. Came in as quoted and made the repairs to my old Acura quickly and reasonably considering AAA towed my car there over the weekend. Very happy with Riverside and AAA.

Outstanding work. I was quoted $900 by a dealership for the work Riverside completed at a cost of $370.00. No brainer. these guys are fantastic.

Riverside Auto is a true gem on the Eastside for any of your service work needs. I cannot recommend a shop more after twenty years involved in this industry. The owner is not only incredibly honest but also insightful and helpful. Thank you Peter and team for your hard work and for going above and beyond in a pinch for me. Also, the personal level of customer service at this local biz is second to none in my book in the area. 5 stars.

Last month I brought in my 2013 Honda Fit to have the front brakes replace since they were grinding. They assured me that my brake pads do not need replacing, they had half life on them and they were "actually just dirty" so they charged me $80 to clean them. A month later, I'm at a different mechanic getting my brake pads, rotors, and calipers replaced because my brake pads were so worn down that they were grinding on the sensor, making a horrific grinding noise.

I've had many mechanics try to pull the wool over my eyes and clearly this is another one of those places. Also, their prices are too expensive. $80 just to clean my brake pads? Ridiculous, seeing as there weren't even any brake pads left to clean. Also, my husband was quoted $1,900 for an air conditioning job where our second opinion mechanic can do it for less than a grand (and that's still the "expensive" quote.) Good thing the simple brake pad job got screwed up or Lord knows what would have happened to my husband's car had we gone through with his repairs. My biggest regret is not calling out Riverside's quality of work the day after it happened. I won't be making that mistake again.

I cannot recommend Riverside Automotive enough. They have worked us in a full schedule when we were in a bind, always done quality work at reasonable prices, and fixed complicated problems even the dealer couldn't diagnose. We are customers for life for sure, take your vehicles to Riverside Auto!

I cannot say enough nice things about the staff at Riverside Auto! My car was taken in twice to Riverside by a tow truck with AAA, and both times we had exceptional service. The staff was responsive, quick, fair and honest. They won't recommend things that don't need to be done. I needed a new alternator, and they helped me to figure out the warranty with my old one which saved me a lot of money. If I have car issues again, I will definitely send my car to Riverside Auto.
