My daughter had a problem with her car and took it to Riverside. They took care of it and the bill was so low I was actually shocked. I will not hesitate to take her car there again. Thanks Riverside.

Recently my daughter had some car issues while on her way back to college. We went online and found her a place close by campus to take her vehicle to. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Riverside Automotive Services, and I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service they provided to my daughter. The owner, Peter, went above and beyond to ensure she felt comfortable and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The team's expertise and attention to detail was amazing. The owner's genuine care and support made a world of difference. The cost of the repairs was beyond reasonable and extremely affordable!! I highly recommend Riverside to anyone in need of reliable and top-quality automotive repairs. Thank you, Peter, for your outstanding assistance and dedication!"

Riverside Automotive is a an excellent auto repair shop! The mechanics there do very high-quality work for a reasonable price and get it done efficiently. It’s great to be able to take my car somewhere on the east side, and know that any problem will be diagnosed and repaired. I much prefer to sit in Riverside’s waiting room on Oakland Avenue, or to take a walk around the neighborhood, than to be way out on some large highway in the suburbs, waiting hours for the dealer’s mechanics to finish a costly repair job.

Look no further for your car’s needs in Milwaukee. The staff is knowledgeable and very experienced at correctly diagnosing your car’s issues and they will repair it at a very fair price. Highly recommended

This place is amazing. They went above and beyond with walking me through my brake issues. Pricing is exceptional. They did more work and cost less than a dealership. Highly recommend. They’ve earned my trust and I will be bringing my truck back for all servicing needs. Don’t question it. Bring your vehicle here.

Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, professional staff

A great neighborhood mechanic. It’s great to have an ethical group of people so close without all the dealer dishonesty and up-selling.

Friendly, family-like atmosphere. Customer service is always available. I compare prices with everything I spend money on and Riverside automotive is always where I end up.

Very nice staff. Great explanation of the work my car needed.

Wanted to charge me 700 dollars for spark plugs and ignition wires. When I drove home my car it was misfiring 10x worse. Then when I got to replacing the wires I found that they left a broken off piece of wire attached to the spark plug(which was impossible for me to remove myself). Which would explain why my car was misfiring worse after the diagnosis. I came in with an intact but malfunctioning wire and left with a completely broken wire. An honest shop would have told me what happened and gave me my car back in the condition that I brought it in.

Love this place! Very friendly, honest, and transparent. I started coming here a couple of cars ago and they've always taken good care of me. Highly recommend!!

Our car unexpectedly broke down and this was the closest auto shop. The mechanics were super nice, polite, and started calling us with updates when it took longer than they initially expected. They really went above and beyond in customer service.

I've used RiverSide multiple times for two different cars and their customer service is excellent and they work quickly. 5/5

My daughter’s car recently broke down. I called Riverside Auto and Peter couldn’t have been nicer! Fast turn around and a fair price! I am happy to say that I will definitely send her there again.

Mar 07, 2024

This is my go-to mechanic shop. I am so glad I found them and will continue to go to them as long as I have a car! From oil changes to more advanced work, you can count on them.

I took my car here for brake repairs. The cost was a bit on the high side, but wasn't a big problem. They called and told me I also had a leaking water pump that needed to be fixed immediately for about $900. I told them that I would need to look into it, and when I picked up the car they handed me a quote for the water pump as an urgent repair that should be taken care of asap. I took it to another shop to check the water pump and it turns out its working perfectly with no signs of a leak. I took it back to Riverside and asked them to show me any evidence of a leak. They could not, and when I asked them why they were trying to overcharge me by $900 they got very rude and told me the car will stop running without their repairs. This was about 2 years ago. The water pump is still running fine. Beware of shady mechanics. Update: 4 years later and that water pump still isn't leaking at all. Always get a second opinion when your mechanic finds something wrong that you didn't bring it in for. Winning runner-up in some local award doesn't mean much to me.

Outta towner here. My tire and some potholes went a couple rounds and you guessed it. My tire lost spectacularly. Riverside Auto and the pit stop quartet fixed my tire faster than I can say, 'Chicago deep-dish beats Wisconsin bratwurst any day'. Soooo, I mumbled it under my breath (like any god fearing Chicagoan would!) while paying the more than reasonable invoice and went on my way. Thanks PB. I owe ya one, slice of Chicago deep-dish.

Overpriced. They sell you things you dont need they say are broken that arent. Dont have to ask far to hear this from others in the neighborhood as well.

I want to give a huge shout out to riverside automotive for helping my daughter out yesterday. I live in South Carolina and called saying her car would not start and we had just had riverside replace the battery a few months ago. She got it started and took it to riverside auto to have it checked before her big trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan. Riverside diagnosed it as a bad starter. Before we could even get an estimate they had replaced the starter and came back to her saying that they had replaced it and merry Christmas. No charge at all. Those guys are true Americans in my eyes and my daughter will be forever grateful and will continue to bring her Kia soul to them. Words cannot express how grateful we are for them at riverside automotive!

Really good service and the owner? or at least the manager who checks you in is so personable. He even remembers your name and car!

Best mechanic in Milwaukee

Always the best. 40 years of perfect service. Honest, professional, and on time. Richard.

Back to Riverside for exceptional service again.. Peter had my wife's Oddysey diagnosed and as always the work is top notch and priced right. A second generation business with mechanics who have been there for multiple decades means a lot to me. Thanks as always guys!

Excellent shop with terrific service!

Great repair shop! Highly recommended…attention to details…

Dec 07, 2023

Have been going here for more years I'd like to reveil. Great service and I won't go anywhere else for service. Thank you Joe and Peter

Dec 07, 2023

Just moved to the area and it's always a challenge to find a good auto shop for my Mini. So far very satisfied and would recommend this place to others

Dec 07, 2023

Riverside Auto does great work at a reasonable price. They go out of their way to be helpful. Much appreciated!!!

Dec 07, 2023

Take your car here. I had previously taken my car somewhere else to get looked at for a noise and they said they fixed it… they did not. While there was a wait I’m glad I brought my car here. Joe and his team looked at it, told me what was wrong and what needed to be done and was all around helpful and very friendly. I will be coming back for all things car related in the future.

Dec 07, 2023

The only auto shop we'll visit. Absolutely trustworthy and highly ethical, they will treat you with the greatest respect, and your vehicle with professional care. Highly recommend the pros at Riverside. UPDATE 11/23: Once again, the pros @ Riverside prove their worth and expertise. "Only ' an oil change this time, but took a few minutes to explain a issue that's going to need attention in the future. Wasn't even on my radar, but having been shown, it obviously needs to be addressed. Naturally, the needed part has been discontinued, so "a-hunting we will go" and Riverside will take care of the install Seriously, trust these guys. They won't ever mislead or dismiss you. Thanks again to everyone at Riverside Automotive!
