These guys are the real deal!! I took my VW Jetta to these guys a few weeks ago. They were so upfront and real it was a breath of fresh air! Then to top it off encouraged me to go back to Volkswagen and see if Volkswagen wouldn't honour and cover the remaining issues that definitely were a result of the emissions issues Volkswagen had. River City Motors saved me over $3000 in out of pocket expenses!! So amazing! If you are looking for a down-to-earth, tell it like it is, honest place to take your vehicle, this is the place! Thanks guys for taking such good care of me and making this whole experience wonderful!read more

Took my Mustang in for an alignment after swapping out the suspension. Bill at the front is genuine, chill guy who’s great to chat with. Patrick (tech) was nice and accommodating; he knows his stuff. After indexing the bushings he worked on aligning the car as close to the specs I provided (with limited adjustment options). Car rides and handles excellent. The shop is clean, waiting area is fantastic and the work done is professional. I came in on a recommendation and left with my expectations exceeded. I’d recommend taking any car here; it’s clear they can do great work on a lot of different rides. Thanks a lot guys 👍🏻read more

Fantastic, extremely friendly service. Well priced and expert knowledge. The guys at Rivercity explain things in a way that doesn't assume you know everything about car maintenance, nor do they condescend when you don't!read more

Great service at a good price, & always happy to share knowledge. When I was first looking for a used A4 Avant I already knew about Rivercity & their passion/knowledge for VAG cars, I was deciding between S4's and regular A4's, so asked them for their opinions and costs of major service items as I knew there was a chance I'd need to have a timing service. I also asked about known issues with them. They were happy to give me opinions and estimates. 2 months later I got an A4 Avant, and booked it in for a remap(tune), and timing belt & tensioner serivice. Was very happy with the customer service, work, and price was also great.read more

To Chris, Bill and Patrick!!! I was referred to your shop with what was supposed to be a very complex issue with my A8. I had another shop that ran me over $1,000.00 without fixing the elaborate misfire issues. After having you guys diagnose and scan the car, I was surprised to find out that my car was actually fine. The previous shop that did my air filter change did not place the hoses behind the mass air flow sensors and this is what caused all the issues. They started changing out ignition coils etc...After you guys did the smoke tests and discovered the problem, the car was back to running like a champ!!! Wish I had know about you guys prior to dealing with the other dealer!!! You have a life time client with me and my family. Thanks for your good ethics and fantastic technical skills!!!Best regards,Markread more

Bill, Chris and the rest of the team completed a thorough out of province inspection of my car, identified the issues and got it repaired and passed very quickly. I was able to get the car on the road in time to make an appearance at their charity car show which was amazing.Highly recommend this team to anyone who wants honest, experienced and thorough work. This is your shop if you want someone to treat your car as if it were theirs.Thanks a lot guys! Great show.read more

I highly recommend Rivercity Morors. Answered all our questions. Didn't just quote the timing chain job without first looking at it. Also didn't make us feel the Tiguan was a writeoff. Educated me on the repair and went through all the possible scenarios. Gave me ball parks on all possibilities to make sure it was in our budget. Ask us when to pull the plug so that we wouldn't rake up a hefty repair bill. I wish we had taken to them earlier. Would have probably saved thousands on other repairs we'd done in the past with the Dealership.read more

Guys, my little TSI has been crushing stock GTI’s since you did the upgrades I wanted. Have also been getting much better gas mileage since the change. Can’t wait to get back in for more work when I get bored of my setup! Awesome work. I would recommend to anyone driving a stock 1.8 TSI to talk to Bill about options! Thanks again very pleased I will be back!!read more

Bill and Chris (let's not forget Patrick) have done nothing but exceed my expectations and we're fair and informative at every turn. they first had saved me thousands of dollars on a pre-purchase inspection then when I brought in the next car did amazing work and it's like a different vehicle. I mostly work on my own cars but River city has restored my faith in repair shops. They do it right and it's worth every penny. Thanks guys!!!read more
