Needed some work done to a Golf driveshaft. Work was done quickly, guys did a great job helping me out of a tough spot. Great guys, great service, great price, awesome experience. Will be our go-to place for all our VW repairs and more.

I called and was able to get my car in in two weeks (worth the wait). It was tight because my road trip was on the Friday, inspection on the Tuesday, and I knew there were items needing repair. The team inspected, diagnosed, ordered parts and repaired it within 48 hours. I picked it up on the Thursday and will be heading out this weekend to B.C.! Amazing service! Really appreciated the report with pictures sent directly to me via text. And the follow up call to walk me through it. Amazing customer experience.

These guys are all pros. I had no doubts bringing my Golf R there. Highly recommend in general but especially if you're driving a VW or Audi!

What more can you say besides worth every minute of the drive to get the work done here. Professional and thorough, not to mention the best price I could find.

No matter what I am there for I have been treated with respect and they get my respect back. They do what is needed in quality time and always show me what they did or what they found that need to be done in the ne’er future and why it should be fixed soon. Also the things that could improve the looks of the vehicle but are not going to make it break down ,are pointed out as well.

First time using Rivercity. In searching for a reputable Audi mechanic shop, they rated very high so thought we would check them out. Great service and inspection with suggestions on what should be done and what could be done. Already booked in for a follow up.

Absolutely knowledgeable staff, took my Honda in as a diagnostic for a problem that people thought might be one issue, with the expertise at river side they determined a completely different thought with proof and fixed the issue I was having. They managed to do this when it was busy on a Friday and gave me a plan moving forward in regards to maintaining the car and building up going forward. Highly recommend.

Got a walnut blast done on the intake valves, it's an immediate and insurmountable improvement. The shop I usually went to did good oem work but they knew just as much as I did. These guys here are masters!

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.

So had a problem for almost a year with my Jetta, previous mechanics couldn't fix it. These guys finally did.
