We met a young fellow at Eagle Tire that provided the best service. We were in and out in 10 mins after he patched our tire.

The fellow was a great communicator, provided appropriate recommendations and pricing. We feel very fortunate! Weeks later, our tire is like new!

Years ago, had my Sorento there to fix and re-torque the Engine Crankshaft rods. Simple, right?…read more NOPE! wouldn't even try it. Came home with same problem as I had before. Over-torqued Piston Rods from a replaced crank. So, 4 Months ago, Son with very little money, just had a "I need to pay you to FIND BRONCO PROBLEMS" checkout needed. Said he had a pretty negative feeling afterwards. How bad? He's taking his driveline OUT of Rio, for a simple U-Joint switch-out. (I helped him take them off- 30 minutes.) "OK" If you need simple & easy Emergency work done. If you want to use YOUR Quality parts and have them installed? MANY mechanics refuse to just do "labor". Nowadays a simple CAM on your Labor/work would prove your time and efforts with parts you didn't buy yourself... NOBODY WILL DO THAT! So there's that. I haven't been back... WHY? James himself told me NOT to bring back the Sorento after it didn't run right when he got done. I did as he told me... Sorry I never left a review before. Been wrenching since I was 14 years old, 70 now, but have enough money to pay people to do it now... HARD to find a "GOOD MECHANIC" (that KNOWS what the problem is from your description-there's a tranny guy who can do that, over next to Travis!). GOOD NEWS! You can USUALLY find out what's actually wrong by being good at Googling symptoms. Takes practice! Let your finger do the walking! LOTS of "mechanics & Oil-Change services" try to UPSELL you on services. "Sometimes" Each thing they have to take off they get a PRICE FOR in a book... so if they have to take off 3 things to get to the problem...SOME will charge you for EACH part takeoff job... which is about 2-4X more expensive than it should be. You have to take all 3 parts off in a row at the same time, you SHOULDN'T get charged to take each off separately! Get other estimates from the work estimate you get. Be flexible. GOOGLE symptoms. USE Napa or other auto-parts stores for FREE Engine lights diagnostics! Take your time, do the research... unless it's simple... and you know what you need and how long it should take... Harbor Freight has several OBDII readers... which are always handy. Which all mechanics use. The cheap ones usually work for most problems. GOOGLE the Error codes, use your car make Forums... I had my Escape AC stop working... USUALLY a BIG $$$ DEAL for a mechanic! Found out it's a $13 Sensor & Monkey wrench fix. Google, then You tubed it. NAPA wanted $37 for the same part. And they needed a few days to order it! (thru eBay? They said 2-3 days too! LOL) Ask your friends for a GOOD mechanic and DROP their name when you go there! BNI networking is a good way to find a good service too! THEY have to do a good job to be referred to by OTHER businesses in their networking group. Talk to an Officer of BNI and get THEM to refer you a service/mechanic...

This was not an additional bulging tire, it was the same one! I ordered two more tires and had those installed as well. I was charged for balancing, but since I found one of the balance weights in my driveway when I came home I took the car elsewhere to have the balance checked. I was told the tires had not been balanced (done for free at new tire shop) along with alignment, so I know they weren't just saying that to get me to spend more money. All in all a most disappointing experience.

O-M-G!!! You will not believe what a disaster this place is...I bought a used Motor home and hired…read morea tow company to tow my RV to my regular mechanic. The owner of the tow truck said their shop worked on vehicles and suggested I just have it towed to their shop for repairs. I agreed to have them work on the motor-home. I told them: "Do whatever it takes to get it running right". They gave it a major tune-up...re-built the carburetor...replaced hoses and belts...$900 later I picked it up. I drove it about 2 miles and it died on the highway. I waited a few minutes and tried to re-start it. It re-started and I drove it about another 2 miles and it died again...(like it had run out of gas). I took it back to them. They discovered that they had pinched the fuel line when they re-installed the fuel tank. Next, I took it to a smog center to get it smogged for registration...IT FAILED SMOG. I took it back to the repair shop that had charged me hundreds of dollars for a "Major tune-up" and asked them how it could have failed. I again asked them to, "Do whatever it takes to fix the problem". They worked on it again, and after a few hundred more dollars, it finally passed smog. Next, my wife and family and I headed out on a camping trip. On the way there, the engine compartment caught fire. My family scurried out of the RV. I grabbed a fire extinguisher and got the fire out. All the engine wires have melted. After hundreds more dollars to get my family picked up from the side of the highway, and get the camper back to my town, I took the RV to a different repair shop. They told me the carburetor had leaked gas and that's probably what caused the fire. After spending another $1,500 to get the carburetor repaired and all the melted wiring replaced, I sued the original repair shop for their incompetence. The owner of Rio Vista Automotive & Towing lied in small claims court and said I had failed to get something repaired, that he had recommended I get repaired, and that his crappy mechanical work had nothing to do with the fire. I lost my case, and the court ordered me to pay a portion of the bill in monthly installments. The shop owner would not accept any responsibility for all the money he had charged me...for the worthless work he claimed to have performed on my vehicle...My best advice is...STAY AWAY FROM RIO VISTA AUTOMOTIVE & TOWING!!!
