I can't say enough great things about Russ and the team at Hatfield Auto! I brought in my 2015 Audi A4 S Line after months of frustration dealing with the dealership. My powertrain warranty required me to take it to Walter's Audi in Riverside, where they told me I needed a brand-new $20,000 engine. They kept my car for months and said they couldn't rebuild the engine or find a certified used one -- I felt completely stuck. Finally, my warranty company allowed me to take my car to Russ at Hatfield Auto, and that changed everything. Russ quickly diagnosed the real issue and was able to replace the valves -- all within my approved warranty amount of $10,000. He saved me time, money, and endless stress, all while keeping me informed every step of the way. Russ truly went above and beyond to make things right. His honesty, expertise, and commitment to his customers are rare to find these days. You can trust Russ and Hatfield Auto completely -- they've earned my business for life. If you want a mechanic who genuinely cares and knows his stuff, I highly recommend Hatfield Auto. Thank you, Russ, for restoring my car and my faith in auto repair shops! read more

So grateful for the team at Hatfield Automotive. They don't over charge and get the job done quick!

May I just say that having this business look at my car was a big win for me. I took my car (Honda fit) in because AC was not working and it also kept "dying" on me. Quickly did he find the first problem and fix it as did the second AC problem was resolved just as fast. Other shop had quoted a $3k price tag and over here it was a fraction of that. I highly recommend this shop to anyone with a Honda. As a side note, they also work on the most problematic cars (European cars) as well-God knows why they put themselves through that. read more

Russ is the best!! He goes above and beyond! Always looks out for you and finds a solution that works best for your situation. Master mechanic that is as down to earth and honest as they can come. I've been going here for over 3-4yrs. Quality at a great price too! Specializes on Euro cars but will work on American and some Korean as well. Come them them out David specializes on Hondas. read more

I just wanted to give the biggest shout-out and thank you to Hatfield Automotive. I spoke with Russ and by the way great phone etiquette. I told him what the issue might have been, made an appointment and brought the vehicle in from start to finish Russ was very honest and made me feel secure about the work that needed to be done on my car. Russ and Dave are two great guys and if you are looking for quality service, I totally recommend giving them a call. Be ready to laugh. read more

5 star experience from beginning to end. Dave and Russell are both friendly, down to earth gentleman. I coordinated my repair with Russell, who shoots straight, is very detailed in his answers, and explains concepts in layman's terms so you understand what is going on with your vehicle and what needs to be done. It's not easy finding honest people, much less honest mechanics, and I can say from my experience Russell is both. I was expecting my vehicle to be in his shop overnight as it was a significant amount of work which needed to be done, however much to my surprise I received a call the same day in the afternoon letting me know it was ready for pickup (I couldn't make it until the next day and he assured me that was no problem, they keep all vehicles indoors overnight, so no need to worry). He even lowered the cost at the end by not having to do additional work which he initially thought may have needed to be done, again much to my surprise and delight. This is a no-brainer and a hidden gem, your vehicle is in good hands at Hattfield Automotive. read more

Russ is very genuine. He is willing to explain in terms that are understandable and seems very trustworthy. I would highly recommend!

I can say this about very few people in this world, but I would trust Dave with my wallet. Honest, trustworthy and highly competent. Sad when you take someone who does superior work for granted. Every time I need work done on my car I don't think about whether he will do the work well or that he will be fair about what he charges. I've had major repairs where I've priced the work at the dealership and Dave is always a fraction of that price and the work is always as good if not better. When I need a new car I have only been shopping for Honda because I know I can take it to him when it needs service and I don't have to worry about anything else. Thank me later, Hatfield Automotive is highly recommended. read more

Great service and very knowledgeable! They fixed my car within a few hours and the prices are very reasonable. These are reputable mechanics. read more

Fantastical! Won't go anywhere else ever again. I have insured this family for years and now I feel like I'm the one in 'Good Hands'. Thank you Russ! read more

They're amazing. 2 old dudes who literally only do it for fun. They only work Monday thru Friday. But definitely worth you taking your car there. They don't BS you and they get the job done quick read more

Dave can sound a bit intimidating over the phone, especially if you have never met him in person, but it is only because he is no nonsense and knows exactly what he is talking about. He is a trustworthy mechanic and is extremely good natured, always cracking jokes. I've been bringing in my Honda Accord Hybrid to him for years now and he has helped me with everything from oil changes to transmission problems. Dave always makes sure to give the best and most affordable options for service. For example, my AC stopped working and Dave figured out that all that was needed was a simple charge. If I had gone to the Honda dealership, I would have had to replace the compressor for hundreds of dollars more. read more

My in laws recommended this shop to my husband and I and I thought Dave was very kind. Initial phone call was average for a last minute drop off. I could tell Dave felt a little put out but accepted our car anyway. I dropped it off on Tuesday and it was ready THE NEXT DAY!!!! We were quoted a 7,000 for a steaming rack from Acura. We thought this was an unacceptably high quote. Dave's quote was MUCH lower and after the job was done we paied $100 LESS than than he had initially quoted us! We will be taking all of our vehicles here in the future! read more

Only place I will go. Great customer service and reasonable prices. I've had a few things done here and have been really pleased. Sure beats the prices at the Honda Dealership. read more

Hatfield Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverside, California

Dave is great with Honda's. My car wasn't shifting, he fixed it. My clutch wasn't working, he fixed it. Both times I was able to bring it in the same day. He is very honest and straightforward, all my interactions with him have been pleasant with him. I also love that he plays classics music in the garage! read more

Dave runs an excellent shop with fair prices. He is a true expert in Honda car repairs who is also honest. I took my car in for the first time a few months ago for a problem I already knew the diagnosis for. I really wanted to see if I could trust Dave. Within literally minutes of test driving my car he knew what the problem was and quoted me half of what other shops in the area were quoting me. I've taken my car to Dave for all repairs and maintenance ever since and he doesn't try to upsell me more than what I need. He is also very professional, answers his own phone, keeps his appointments on time and treats people with respect. I'm obviously a fan. Thank you Dave! read more

Had a great experience coming to this shop. I had left a voicemail about an hour before they opened and I got a call back about 30 minutes before they even opened so I rushed over when the owner said he would make time to service my car. The price I paid was under his estimate plus he gave me the yelp discount which was so generous on his part. I recommend this place because the owner seemed very organized and the time management was the best part because I had to bring my 2 year old with me and I was in and out in less than an hour considering I had 2 different services done to my car he really impressed me! read more

Guys a douche over the phone, at least try to work with the customer, we call with inquiries so that you can give a round about answer, not berate us for not understanding the mechanical aspect of our vehicle Dude needs to lighten up read more

Dave is an honest, trustworthy mechanic. I've been taking my vehicles to Dave for over 19 years and have always been satisfied with his work. I definitely recommend Dave. read more

Do yourself a favor, if you have a Honda or Acura, skip the dealer and come see Dave. My AC recently decide to work off and on. I scheduled an appointment when it had went out for good or so I thought! Wouldn't you know it came back as I was on my way! Dave was extremely patient in the diagnostic process and found the culprit! I authorized repairs and was out in no time with frigid AC again! Dave is very fair in his quoting and actually came in under the original quote. Will definitely be using him for all of my car's needs! read more

Highly recommend! Dave was great. Brought my Acura to him, he took great care with her, saved me a bunch of money over the dealership. He was very nice and very knowledgeable. I will definitely go back! I am very pleased and am recommending him to everyone I know with a Honda, Acura, Toyota or Lexus. read more

Dave has been my mechanic for many years with all the family cars. He has been very professional and honest.

I've been going to Dave for years. I bought a Honda Civic to replace my Honda Accord (sold after 250,000 miles) just so that I could bring it to Honda Car Repair for service. Dave is honest, competent and reasonably priced. read more

Multiple people in my neighborhood suggested I take my dead Honda to Dave, and I'm so glad that they did! My starter went out at the grocery store. Of course, it was 100+ degrees and I had perishables. I had AAA take the car to him and he had it done in way less than 24 hours AND hundreds less than what the Honda dealership quoted me. Come to find out, his oil changes are cheaper than what I pay at another spot! Dave was friendly, knowledgeable and didn't hesitate on giving me a precise quote. I'm glad I found him, I will definitely be bringing my Honda back to him. Hopefully later than sooner! read more

Mr. Anderson is one of the most honest mechanics we have ever had. We just recently moved to the area and are so grateful to have found such a knowledgeable, fair, and trustworthy mechanic to work on all of our cars. Why would you go anywhere else? Thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

If you have a Honda or Acura this is the only place to go. It will cost 1/3 what the dealer will charge and Dave knows what he is talking about. There is never any B.S. just straight forward diagnostic and repair. A trustworthy mechanic is hard to find and I will never go anywhere else. read more

Dave can come off rude at first but only if you don't ask the right questions. (Or make an appointment in advance) I came in as walk-in and right off the bat he immediately disregarded my presence. As with any business and especially around the holidays, it is recommended to make an appointment with Dave ahead of time. Just give him a call. Luckily, he made some time for me and I was able to leave my car with him. He is willing to help you and he does value his customers. Brought my vehicle in and Dave fixed it in a snap. (Took 2 days) Of course, with all mechanics, the price is something you just have to accept. He does give you an estimate but also charges a small fee ($40-$60) to diagnose your vehicle. Will definitely be returning to Dave's Honda Car Repair. (Also works on Toyotas) read more

Very helpful, and he really wants to give his customers the best value. If you have a Honda or Acura there is no other place to go.

So rude over the phone just wanted to know an estimate of how much my window would cost he laughed and said he wouldn't do that? You can't say it could be 50-300$? Freaking jerk you won't get a penny from me. read more

I always like to call a shop before coming in and telling them the situation I was in and this phone call was unpleasant. I told my situation and he was defensive about it not being correct and started laughing. Called other shops and they told me right away what was wrong vs someone laughing at me. Very unprofessional, Will not be using this shop. read more

Dave is a great guy always taking care of my cars. I was gone for a while but I am back to him (left town) I trust him way more than Honda dealers who just try to take all the money they can off of you! read more

Dave is very capable and extremely honest! Not many in the industry have those attributes. He does not recommend unnecessary work. Highly recommend him. read more

Best mechanic ever!!! We have been to so many terrible mechanics. It was wonderful to find one who doesn't talk down to you. He always does a great job at a reasonable price and quickly! We wouldn't take out vehicles any where else! read more
