Best VW service in the city. I’ve been to quite a few of the other options and while I have no complaints about any of them, River City is by far the most transparent. They send an email report with photos of any issues, it’s fantastic if you need/want a visual of what they are talking about. I also think they have some of the best pricing. I feel very comfortable taking my vehicle here.read more

Chris did a great job on our Mazda 6. He has a very professional approach to his work. His friendliness and the care he took to respond to our questions were very welcome. He even followed up to find out how our car was running several days after we picked it up! Great to find a place like River City Motors. I recommend this company to everyone.read more

A five star experience in regards to customer service and communication. The team at Rivercity Motors exceeded all of my expectations! Bill was a pleasure to deal with: the quote process and communication were both above industry standards. All of my questions and car issues were dealt with according to my needs, budget and priorities. I have never been more at ease or confident in dealing with an auto/tire shop! I will definitely be going back. I love the performance of my new Toyo Celsius tires and my 2013 Sentra SR is running like new!read more

I've always had a great experience at River City and would recommend this business to anyone with a euro, jdm or domestic vehicle. They have an excellent no contact service making it easy for customers not wanting to have hands on transactions and their work speaks for itself. I was personally caught in a bit of an emergency and Bill was able to help me out on a day the business was not even opened. Big shout out to Bill and Chris for helping me in a pinch!read more

Rivercity has to be the best shop I have visited. The absolute transparency was amazing & prices were extremely fair. Paired with the seamless communication it made for a really easy process. Came in for an oil change as well as a checkup on a few things and was not taken advantage of, proof of a clean business that wants returning happy customers. Thanks guys!read more

Rivercity Motors is my preferred Edmonton automotive shop. Even though they specialize in VW and Audi’s I have trusted them to work on other brand names and they have always done so without issue.I wouldn’t hesitate to take a vehicle to their shop for any reason and Chris and Bill will always do what it takes to look after your vehicle and your repairs.During Covid they have maintained their high quality of service by adopting a smooth and easy contactless drop off/pick up procedure that other businesses could learn from.Whether it’s tires, repairs, oil changes, diagnostics, etc. Rivercity can handle it.read more

Dear Valued Customers,

The team at Rivercity Motors Ltd. would like to thank you for your support over the last 6 years – it has been an adventure full of exciting challenges. We believe that we owe our success to staying true to our mission to offer 100% honest and upfront service and repair to our customers.

As we face the current challenges related to the COVID-19 crisis, we would like to assure you that we are taking every possible step to ensure the safety and health of our team and our customers.

Here is how we are keeping you safe:

  • All bookings are taken over the phone or by email. We ask customers to drop off their vehicles and keys without entering the building by using an envelope and secure key dropbox. The front door remains locked, and only employees are allowed to enter the building.
  • Phones, keyboards, computers, counters and staffroom are sanitized regularly.
  • All parts are dropped off outside and disinfected before entering the shop.
  • Our technicians retrieve keys using gloves and immediately sanitize the keys.
  • The key dropbox, doors, and handles are disinfected hourly (or more frequently if we know there has been contact).
  • Before entering a vehicle, the technicians use gloves and then the door handle is sanitized.
  • Before entering the vehicle, we sanitize the inside door handle, steering wheel, seat belt buckle, and shifter. Seat and steering wheel covers are also used.
  • New gloves are used during repairs.
  • Once your repairs are completed, the vehicle is moved to the front parking lot and sanitized again.
  • All payments are made remotely using e-transfer or credit card over the phone. Your keys are sanitized again by front staff, and returned to you without any direct contact.

If you need any repairs or maintenance for your vehicle at this time, be assured that you can safely bring your vehicle to Rivercity Motors. We would like to be able to keep our doors open, our employees working, and to keep you driving safely during these uncertain times.

Thank you again for your support over the years. We hope to hear from you soon!

The team at Rivercity Motors,

Chris, Linnea, Bill, Patrick, Andy, and Jon
