If I could give 10 stars I would! Awesome couple - owned business...super nice...great work! Fast (called and they told me to come right over)...fixed battery as I waited. Very professional. Honest. I will 1000% be back if ever I have an issue. And battery has a 3 year warranty! Can not recommend high enough! read more

I had asked Daniel to check for a slow oil leak in my car when he changed the oil and give me a repair estimate. It has leaked for about 10 years so I was prepared for the worst since it is hard to locate a miniscule oil leak. He told me the oil filter was loose so he tightened it, degreased the oily area, cleaned the undercarriage and said to monitor the leak. After all these years I was finally able to trash the big pieces of cardboard on my garage floor. I guess no one ever properly tightened the oil filter before. Thanks Daniel. read more

Love having a mechanic I can go to and trust completely. Never have to shop around or worry I'm being over changed. Daniel is honest and does great work at a reasonable price. Thanks Daniel, crew, and Cynthia. read more

Read reviews and was very impressed with high ratings plus super close to family house if I need to walk. Daniel gave me the best quote for both the timing belt & starter. Plus was able to take my car in no problem and work was very detail. He is very helpful & very friendly. I know I got some more work to be done cause I got an older car & this is the place I'll be going to & most definitely will recommend to anyone read more

I have returned to Champion over the last 12 months having them service 2 additional vehicles ( 1999 pathfinder &2014 CRV ) .I continue to be pleased with the service and prices that they have provided along with what another Yelp poster stated in describing Daniel as a really honest "down to earth guy". I suggest making an appointment since the shop is usually busy . Also if you need to wait for your car, there is a Norms next door and if you really need time to chill waiting there are movie theaters nearby at the Tyler Galleria. The only thing I would caution people on if you plan on walking around in the area is there tends to be homeless wandering around read more

Was having a little car trouble, and was looking for a reliable car mechanic, looked them up on yelp, and read the reviews which were good, because I'm new to Riverside. I am so glad I came here, they were very welcoming and just gave me a great experience. Oh! And my car is running perfect again. . Thanks you guys.. read more

The owner, Dai does a very good job on my family's car. We've been bringing our cars here for 8 years. He and his employees are fun to talk to and have nice customer service. It's also very easy to spot from the street as their shop is located in front of the complex. I just drop my car off and just walk to McDonalds. read more

They took my car in at the last minute for an oil change. They were fast and friendly. After my oil change he told me what needs to be fixed soon and gave me the prices of each thing.

I've been here about 3 times now and I have nothing bad to say. Being a girl I was skeptical at first, hoping I wouldn't get taken advantage of. But not at all! They get you in and out, but I make sure I call before going. I highly recommend them for your auto needs. read more

Thank you for the work you did on my son's car. I had received an outrageous quote for the work we had done and you did it for so much less and did it right! I had been searching for a mechanic and found you on Yelp and then a colleague mentioned that she had always taken her car to you. And now, so will i! read more

Daniel and his wife are extremely helpful. I took my car in to have the clutch replaced because a co-worker recommended him and he got it done quickly and for a good price. I will definitely be taking my car to him for any further needs as well as recommending him to my friends. read more

Awesome mechanics. I take all my personal and work vehicles here . I highly recommend

Daniel and his team made a happy customer today. Professional service, car is fixed, Great job guys!!!

We took our family car here for a brake inspection and a noise we thought to be coming from the brakes. Daniel came back and told us we did not need brakes for now. He adjusted the emergency brake and fixed the loose muffler which was making the noise. I'm happy to say that we will be returning. read more

This place is top notch. Very honest, quality work, fair prices. Awesome customer service. They keep you informed and tell you exactly whats wrong and what it will take to fix it. They even inspect your vehicle to make you aware of potential problems. I highly recommend. read more

After reading all the reviews, I brought my vehicle in to have it looked at. It had an oil leak and had overheated once. I asked about repairing the leaks, mentioned the overheating, and asked about getting a tune up. I left the truck for nearly a full day for them to examine it. When I returned, I got a quote for fixing the oil leaks, but there were other things added on to the quote that weren't needed and that I hadn't asked for. A radiator, thermostat replacement, and radiator hose were added to the quote; as well as spark plug wires. I was told there was nothing wrong with the radiator and thermostat, but if I wanted to replace it, the estimate was there. Why would it be added to the quote, if it was not needed? And, although there was no evidence that there was anything wrong with the spark plug wires, when I asked about it I was told that it would be "preventative maintenance." Although this made me a little suspicious, in light of all the positive Yelp reviews, I went ahead with the repairs that were needed. I left the vehicle for two days to be fixed. I was never called when the truck was done. I had to call in to find out that it was finished. And when I went to pick it up, I was told that more work was needed. I was told that there was a problem with some of the front steering components being worn, and that I would hear a "clicking" noise from the front as a result. I was shown the problem, and told that it would definitely affect my alignment. Almost $500 to repair. My front tires have been wearing even (evidence that my alignment and front end components have been fine), and I never had a problem with a front end "clicking" noise until I drove away from the shop. The vehicle was taken on a lengthy test drive by the mechanic when I brought it in the first time. After the initial test drive, and leaving the truck for an estimate, there was no mention of any problems with the front end. I suppose it's possible that the noise was there before and I just didn't notice it, but it seems like the front end problem mysteriously developed, or was exacerbated, while I left the truck to be repaired. I wish I could give a good rating, but I am suspicious of this shop for adding extra items on my quote that were not needed and not calling me when the truck was done. Furthermore, if there was a problem with the front end of my vehicle, I feel it should have been found and reported to me on the first estimate. I will not use this shop again. read more

This review is a bit late but I still thought it was important to give credit where it's due. Excellent service! I've always been sketchy getting my cars fixed just anywhere. I just moved to riverside not long ago and this was my first time looking for a shop around here so I was nervous. Nevertheless, the owner was very very kind.he made sure to let me know exactly what was wrong with my car and even took me out there to see it for myself. He told me of all the alternative solutions and made sure I was making the best decision. They fixed my car and I haven't had the same problem since. I will definitely come back here for all my services. read more

Even after reading all the rave Yelp reviews, I was still surprised at the awesome service I received at Champion Auto Service. My car wouldn't start... not a problem with the battery, but possibly a bad starter. I took it in for diagnosis; Daniel had to keep it for a couple of days. It would have been easy for him to put in a new starter and charge me $$$. But instead, he determined that the starter was good and that it was a minor, fixable problem with the key. The cost: Less that what I was quoted for the diagnosis alone! My first time there, but certainly not my last. KUDOS!!!! read more

Went here for the first time to get my oil changed and wasn't disappointed at all! Awesome customer service and awesome people! I called in for an appointment and was only there 35/40min! And they had really good prices compared to everyone else I called for pricing! Def will be a regular! read more

I found Daniels business through Yelp. No wonder he has such high ratings. I brought my Charger in for some steering and brake issues. He quotes me a completely fair price so I told him to go ahead. The car was done on time the next day. When I went to pay, I asked his wife twice if the price was correct because it was 40% lower than he quoted. I looked at the invoice to make sure all work was done when Daniel stuck head in from the shop to tell me he combines the labor chargers and that's why the total was different. Unbelievable honesty. I drive newer cars so I don't often need work done, but I will tell this story to everyone I know and absolutely go back myself. Thanks Champion ! read more

I went to this place because of Yelp reviews. I have an embarrassingly crappy old van and it had a badly leaking radiator and was overheating terribly, I thought my van was ready for the junkyard. To my suprise, Champion got me back on the road fast and inexpensively. It needed a new radiator and heater core, but they could tell i was broke and that the van wasnt worth much, so they told me they could bypass the heater core, perfect! WHAT REALLY IMPRESSED ME though, was that they fixed my door! It wouldnt open and I was having to go in and out through the passenger door. They fixed it for FREE. How many places would do that for someone they don't even know? read more

I recently needed my car to be serviced and they were very professional. Also, their prices are very competitive very affordable compared to the high quality service that you will get. They took really great care of us and our 2004 Toyota. I have found my new mechanic!! read more

Their service is very good. The front desk people are friendly and honest. My check light was on, and the other place near my house charged me $60 for the smog check fail, even though my check light is on. I went to Champion Auto service, and I got fix my car. However, my car failed smog check for 3rd times, and the owner was honest and no charge for me. I like their friendly, fast, and honest service. read more

These guys did a fabulous job of restoring the engine of my classic 70 Olds Cutlass/442 convertible after an engine fire. They did exactly what we needed and were nice enough to store the car while the custom wiring was on order (for months!). If you have a classic car, I highly recommend them, they understand how old cars work and treated my car with love and respect. read more

No complaints from me. Did what he could to fix one of my car doors that wasn't opening from the inside our out. He opened it and fixed the handle on the inside, told me the outside handle needed to be replaced but just charged me for what he did and gave me a quote for the outside handle just in case I wanted to make an appointment. Really friendly staff. read more

Need repairs done on my cars and saw good reviews so decided to give this shop a try. Since my buddy's shop was busy. I called and spoke with Daniel to make appoint to bring in my Durango. Next day I brought it in and Daniel was able to give me an estimate which was very fair and reasonable. He explained to me the issues the Durango had. Its been 3 weeks and my suv is running good. So I decided to bring in my other car for him to check out. Daniel is honest and took care of my cars. Definately got me a trusted mechanic now. read more

Daniel and Cynthia were amazing. We broke down on our way back to Phoenix with a bad alternator. We were planning to go to the local Honda dealer to get the work done but found Champion was close by. I spoke with Daniel and told him the Honda cost quote to get the work done. He thought that cost was high and assuming it was the alternator, committed his price would be cheaper. We took it there on a busy rainy Monday afternoon and he confirmed the diagnosis and got the work done ready to go Tuesday morning for half the price! Fair and honest service was very much appreciated. I wish he lived in Phoenix! I will bring my business to Champion the next time I am in town. Thank you Daniel and Cynthia read more

My 2010 Honda Civic Cpe had been making a loud noise for a while so after looking for a place on Yelp I called up this place. Left a message which took them a couple days to get back to me. Daniel apologized and we made an appointment. He diagnosed the problem (motor mount) after turning the engine on for literally under 10 seconds. I was confident because I had already had another place do a visual inspection which arrived at the same diagnosis. That's how well Daniel knows Hondas. He also has connections for parts so he could get one delivered right away. He was confident, incisive, and polite at the same time. It was estimated to take about 2 hours because they were working on other cars, which ended up being accurate. Daniel checked my filters too and took the trouble to bring the broken motor mount to show me what was wrong, without me asking. Didn't try selling extra services. His wife Cynthia offered to drive me to Tyler mall but I declined. Ended up having a good conversation with her - she's friendly but not nosy. They seemed to work really well together! This was a week ago and my car has been working well - no problems. I did call them yesterday just to clarify whether they had to access anything through my glovebox because it looked like things had been shuffled a bit. Daniel explained and apologized. All in all, I'm not planning to go anywhere else for my car while I live in the area. read more

I came in thinking I had an oil leak when actually nothing was wrong. The owner took the time to show me underneath the car and explain what I was looking at and what to look for, and then only charged me a fraction of what he should have for the time spent looking at my vehicle. Thanks guys! read more

I was having a problem with my Nissan Titan and I spoke with Christian regarding the problem over the problem. I dropped off my truck in the morning and he called me a couple of hours later. He figured out what the problem was, gave me a quote and it ended up being cheaper than I thought it was going to be. I gave him the okay to fix it and got my truck back to me in a timely manner. He explained that there were some other minor issues with the truck and he took care of it at no extra charge. I would definitely recommend these guys and you won't be disappointed. They're dependable and honest in the way they do business. read more
