Our 2008 Nissan Frontier pickup is our only vehicle, so getting a ride from the shop and back after the repairs was an unexpected and greatly appreciated bonus. Timely repairs were appreciated, too. Both times I've had our truck in to Riverside Automotive Repairs I've been impressed with the workmanship, knowledge, and speed the shop provides. I'd been told by several Frontier owners (the truck is new to me) that a synthetic transmission oil might help a little with the truck's cold shifting. David couldn't come up with the oil that had been recommended, but I was impressed enough with his knowledge of the problem and the vehicle that decided to go with his recommendation. He was dead-on and the truck sifted like a dream after the old oil was replaced with a 75-90 weight synthetic. He got that job done and fixed the rattling heat-shield(s?) on the truck's muffler in less than an hour. A couple of weeks later, I brought the truck back to have the glitchy Viper "security system" removed and the truck's electric doors returned to stock. The rewiring job was professional and done right. I was able to get my new stock Nissan remote door units to work in the driveway and I couldn't ask for the work to have been better or for a more reasonable price. We've just moved to Red Wing and it is really nice to know we have a great shop nearby. read more

Dave and his crew do great work and you can tell they care about the customers experience. Won't ever hesitate to have them work on my car.

Amazing customer service, thorough repair, quality work and Dave, the owner even gave me a ride to and from my house so I could work while they did the job on my car! If that's not fantastic service, I don't know what is! Thanks for being awesome guys!! I had just moved to Red Wing and needed a quality shop and I found it! read more

Horrible place to take your car. beyond the bad job they did on aligning my truck three times. which still drifts To the left slightly whilst the steering wheel is clocked to the right slightly. the service writer mark with the baggy pants that are too long. almost like he's trying to hid his extremely small feet. You know what they say....small feet.....Anyway he talked smack about me to my gf not once but twice. He even got a dig in about berghammers werk a year earlier. I wouldn't bring my worst enemies car here to get fixed. As a matter fact to bad the fire they had didn't force them to close permanently. they are a blight on the community. I had to select a star to post this review. that's the only reason they get one star. They deserve nothing. Except an eviction notice from Everett smith their landlord. read more

NEW LOCATION: 920 Tile Dr, Red Wing, MN 55066 Great service and reasonable prices for auto repair. They are a busy shop so best to stop in and make an appointment. Their new shop location is right across from Smith Heating in the Clay City portion of Red Wing. read more

If you are looking for a great shop to care for your car, this is it! From general service to "special" work they do an excellent job. They have been doing my car work for a while. They have done well. I had Matt install an electric brake controller in my car and he did a great job. I could not see where the controller would go. Matt solved it. He did an amazing job! In the modern world, people need a mechanic they can trust. For me, this is the one! read more

Dave & his guys took good care of me, my Sonata & my wallet. Gave me an accurate estimate of a cracked gasket, got the part in, & got the car fixed in a few hours. he was even kind enough to drop off/pick me up since I am new to town & didn't have anyone else to help me out. Most impressive, he was honest, decent, AFFORDABLE, direct & thorough. A true Red Wing gem! read more

Dave thanks for dropping me off at work so you could perform the job on my car.

Friendly, Courteous, and Helpful On our departure day from Red Wing we noted a sensor light was on, which we mistakenly thought was the oil sensor. With no Mazda dealer within many miles, we stopped in Riverside. Mark, the service rep, was most friendly and knowledgeable. Even though he was busy, he took the time to check our oil and answer some questions. No charge. Compliments to Mark and Riverside for understanding that the first customer contact is critical and sets the stage for a positive experience. read more

I drive a import and Riverside was recommend to me by a mechanic friend when I was experiencing car problems. The one thing you need if you drive an older vehicle is a motor vehicle repair shop and mechanic you can trust, and I found that. Dave and staff are upfront, honest, reliable and hard working. After diagnostics they will go through any problems or issues and make their recommendations to you. read more

This review is long overdue but better late than never. While visiting Red Wing last summer the hub went out on our vehicles...of course it was a weekend. We asked around and were referred to Dave. He went out of his way to help us out and we were back on the road within an hour. Thanks Dave for your above and beyond service. read more
