The clutch job, Not an easily job on P-car. With these larger and costly maintenance items its important that communication flows both ways. Chris, Dave and Andy were great throughout this experience. Trust is important when you hand your keys over and I trust the Rivercity team.

Gave me a great price on Liqui-Moly oil and Oem filter in a nice oil change kit. They do bulk if you have your own jugs for a small savings as well, or as was in my case without my jugs, the oil was ordered and was ready for pickup 1.5 hrs later. Their prices on oil for European cars can't be beat!! I highly recommend them for both parts and for service!!

The staff are always helpful in finding the problems and the techs do a good job of making the required repairs. My Mazda had a last minute problem which they diagnosed and repaired with a part I had at no extra charge.

Very happy with the service from Rivercity. They work quickly at a fair price. Also they DO NOT try to oversell you on service that you do not need. I will absolutely use Rivercity again in the future.

David and his crew did a great job diagnosing and fixing some errors the car was reporting as well as an oil change. Have taken my car to RiverCity for about 2 years now, and can’t say enough good things about them - highly recommend them.

It is a pleasure working with them. They are very clear what the issues are and provide flexible options to respond. They even identified an item that another organization had done wrong that was not even on the list of issues I was addressing on my old car.I very highly recommend them.

Thanks to Chris and his team at RiverCity! I have been using them since they opened in 2014 and are the only shop I allow to touch and service my vehicles. They are knowledgeable on all makes of vehicles, not just Volkswagens and always provides the best service or repair possible at a reasonable and affordable price. They are happy to answer any stupid question I might have. Always the perfect alignment done the first time. No BS.

Ended up having an issue with the adblue on my dad's Volkswagen on our way through Edmonton, it told us we only had 150 km once we got to Edmonton until the car would no longer start. Chris and his team at Rivercity Motors took care of us over a long weekend even though they had a skeleton crew and no room when all the other places we tried couldn't/wouldn't do anything for us until later on in the week. They even had it fixed so that we wouldn't have had to get a hotel room that night and could carry on the rest of our journey. They went above and beyond, they answered all questions we had as well as let us know about a couple other issues with the car. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!! If I have any future issues on our way through I will not hesitate to get a hold of them and cannot thank them enough for helping us!!
