From the moment I called to schedule my appointment until the time I picked up my truck, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, professional, and kept me informed throughout the process. I was very impressed with both the quality of the work and the fair price.

I'll be returning for any future repairs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, dependable service.

Engine Coolant repair…read more It is very rare that you can find a auto repair shop with a great hometown feel. From the time I first talked to Chris on the phone until the time I pulled my car out he was absolutely hands down the most trusted and humble person that's ever worked on my vehicle.... He's just one of those rare people that you very seldom meet anymore that goes out of his way to help another. Especially, when you drive up and the first thing he does is open the hood and looks at my issue and said without hesitation... no worries that's a quick fix!!!.....and believe he stopped everything he was doing to fix my car..... and when I ask him if he worked on German made vehicles very often he humbling said I sure do....I'm a BMW certified specialist..... he even checked out some extra things to make sure it was safe for me to drive to Asheville to pick up my son. No one has ever done that for me except for my dad..... The charge was so minimal for everything he did ....it was almost like he just wanted to make sure I was safe. Thank you Chris for being so kind and trustworthy. I could never thank you enough for helping someone you didn't even know. All of us need to do better in recognizing those that go out of their way to help another. Look forward to my next visit! Because, no one else will ever touch my car again..... expect for Riffey's Auto...and that's a promise.... Amy Shortt

I was on a road trip up from Texas when my car started acting up on a Friday night While I was…read moredriving through. I stopped here and they made the time that night to help me get my car fixed so I can be on the road again in the morning. They were super nice, helpful, and knowledgeable!! Their prices were reasonable and they took the time to additionally discuss potential problems and solutions I may come across with my older car. People often refuse to work on my Prius because it is a hybrid, so I was impressed that they were able to work on it and discuss its mechanics. They were truly a blessing. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

We were originally holding off on posting this review to try and maintain a level of…read moreprofessionalism with Mr Gibson and his crew and even give them a 2nd chance after a horrible encounter but its clear we need to look for service business elsewhere. Back in November, 2025 we brought our car in for a cata converter replacement, we had the converter ordered in advance and during the times we had the quote generated which was $1,500+ we were given verbal promises that the car would be done same day. First day? It was not completed the same day as promised. They then said they would have the car fixed by lunch time at the latest TOMORROW, tomorrow lunch comes around? Still not done. 3rd day we got law enforcement involved to get a proper update/record as we did not have a spare vehicle to get back and forth to work and were getting fed up with the excuses, this is when Mr Gibson himself showed his ugly side and began his verbal assault towards us mocking us in front of his entire team and had embarrassingly brought us to the wrong vehicle in the bay that wasn't even ours while screaming at us. It took 3 full days and a little extra time as they stayed after close to get the vehicle done before we could finally leave their shop. They had 1 single mechanic working on the vehicle for the first 2 days and only on the 3rd day realized they needed to put more hands on the job. We were suppose to have another service order for an oil housing unit repair on our vehicle but we will not be coming back as its clear Mr Gibson and his crew are just not the right fit for us after speaking to them again today. Overall horrible experience, rude, snotty attitude from the front office ladies, and even ruder unruly behavior from the guys behind the ladies.
