I have used them for at least a decade; they are great. They are very helpful and explain what is going on. The work is always top rate and they get me the best price they can get me. They are very professional. Once I went in there with a tire problem and even though I was not on the schedule they came out and looked at it. They actually fixed it right then even though I did not have an appointment. I guess they did it because I am a regular. It was very well done.

The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. They let me know of some other issues my vehicle had but there was no pressure to have the work done. They called me with an estimate before starting work and came in very close to that. Will definitely be taking my vehicle there again in the future.

The workmanship is worth an A. They are very courteous and professional and responsive. The facilities were very accommodating. We had several quotes, all charge for diagnostics, some will apply that fee to the bill if you get your vehicle fixed there. River City told us about the $90.00 diagnostic fee but we failed to ask if it would be applied to the bill. It wasn't. The quality of work is excellent. Friendliness also excellent. . Would like to see them do a couple things different. 1- Explain the bill before you pay for it. (how much is bill and how much is labor) The detailed bill was not given to us until it was paid, however we did not ask for it and they did not offer. (we take responsibility for not asking ) 2- Like to see the diagnostic fee applied to the bill if fixing the vehicle.
They made a followup call to make sure everything was well. Very impressive. If you are looking for the cheapest, they may not be for you, however if you want quality this is the place to go. If you choose to use River City, be sure you ask specific questions and you should get specific answers.
We requested payment split between a debit and credit card. This was not done as we found out when we got the credit card statement.
We will try them again because we were given a $25.00 gift card for our next service there and a 10 percent discount on the labor bill.
You get what you pay for..

The whole thing went well. I had an appointment for 1:30. I got there at 1:15 and they took my car into the garage immediately. They came back and recommended the oil, I agreed and I was on my way home by 1:50.

I got several estimates from companies in our area. River City was by far the least expensive and provided services that the other companies charged a lot extra for at no charge. I wasn't pressured to purchase any additional items or services as you tend to be with other companies. I had my services performed within 24 hours of calling for the estimate and my bill was actually less than what I was quoted. A+ service!
