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.

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!!

First time using this shop to get some work done on my Audi S7. Super happy with my experience. The work I got done didn’t take long at all to complete, in fact it was a shorter wait than I anticipated. They have a decent waiting area for customers. Cost of the work done was fair, cheaper than I thought, and they’re upfront with the work performed and cost. Would highly recommended trying these guys out if you have a VW or Audi.

Heard a funny noise while driving, chris suggested we drive together to recreate the sound so they could fix it properly. They also called Volkswagen to see if I had warranty on what needed to be fixed . Very reasonable and lovely customer service, did not feel taken advantage of like most car dealerships that suggest you get 100 things done that are not necessary ! Will be my new go-to spot for my volkswagen

Not sure 5 stars is enough for the Rivercity Motors team. David and Chris are awesome and so are the guys in the workshop. Everyone is always will to help and give you the best solutions.My RS3 has been serviced here since 2021 and recently had to have the entire fuel system replaced and they did a great job in fixing it and they always kept me updated on progress. Definitely recommend this shop if you have an Audi and/or VW vehicle.

Heard good things about this shop and had to try for myself.Needed an inspection done on a recent purchase and took the opportunity.Best thing was they let me go back in the shop to see the vehicle and took the time to explain different items being checked out. Also got a short tour of the space after as well.Speaking with Chris and David at the front opened up many options in the future for upgrade and modifications.Very friendly and knowledgeable and would use them again.
