Joe was kind, honest, funny, and gave me a fair estimate upfront. I had my car towed there around 8:30 AM and it was ready by 12:25 PM. They replaced the starter quickly and even cleaned my power steering pump, and my car drives so much better now. As a woman, finding an honest auto shop can be hard, but I truly felt taken care of here. Highly recommend Joe and the team at Rikers on Orange!

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BUSINESS! I set up an appointment today to get an…read moreanalysis of my rear brake pads and rotors. (I had a flat tire last week which I took to Gator Tire, who said I ALSO needed the back brake items replaced. Based on my last experience with Gator per my first review below, I didn't trust their "recommendation".) True to form, Joe informed me that the brakes items were at a "4" per a red/yellow/green chart. He recommended the items should be replaced in 3 or so months, but it was not critical now. I was charged $0 for the inspection which saved me over $400 per the estimate from Gator Tire. When the time comes for new brake pads and rotors as well as any tire issues in the future, this Riker location will have my COMPLETE loyalty from this point forward. Joe, Lila, William and the entire staff at this South Orange Ave. location are honest, reliable and professional. They do NOT take advantage of their customers like some other locations as mentioned above.

My former mechanic recommended this place to me. I called…read moreand made an appointment about a week prior. They called the day before to confirm with me also sent me a text to confirm after booking. I waited since it was just an oil change, it took about and hour. After the service I also received a video of them inspecting my vehicle, that was pretty cool. Customer service here was really top notch and I'm super happy with the service and value I received for the price point.

The Rundown: Local, friendly mechanic with a specialty in European vehicles…read more The Review: Obtaining my first BMW, I wanted to have someone more versed give it a look over to ensure things were good. After being rejected from the local BMW dealerships (who oddly will not perform general inspections - explaining they only service if there is a clear error or something descriptive "off"? Only guess I have is not wanting to deal with people if they didn't sell it.) I came across DSA. The website was very professional, clearly outlined services that they perform, and left me confident in their abilities. From the first phone interaction, I felt very comfortable. They made it clear that this business is not just about chasing down customers for money but wanted to truly understand how they can serve you. They also let me know of the limitations they have when it came to my vehicle (electric). In person for drop-off and pickup was no different. The team were pleasant all around. They also utilize their communication tools effectively, including a texting service to keep in touch and a very nice digital report you get to keep which includes photos along with a checklist of what work is being done. Even larger repair companies do not offer this so I was very impressed! Where things felt a bit "unfinished" for me (and I shall acknowledge I am no expert) were: Part of the inspection is "Test Drive - Minimum of 3 Miles". The odometer had less than 1 mile difference when I picked it up. After bringing home, the next day I noticed a small wet spot under the vehicle. At first I figured maybe it was AC condensation but using a paper towel it appeared to be windshield wash fluid (a watery bright green). I popped the hood and checked the tank and found a small, clear crack right at the pump joint with the inner black peeking through the white connection and dampness. I recognize it isn't possible to check everything, and they made it clear that they were not as specialized in this, model's electrical system. But it did have me questioning if the "frunk" was ever removed. If it had been, with the few physical components in there, I would like to think the crack would have been noticed. Fortunately, a very easy, simple repair which was not costly or detrimental to the general vehicle performance. They followed up with me a few weeks later to check in on how things were going (again, fantastic communication and great use of digital tools!) and I let them know about the findings. They were supportive and friendly when I replied, which was nice. Overall, I definitely would recommend to anyone with a European vehicle needing service! Despite these few observations (again, acknowledging I am not a professional) they were friendly, efficient and created a comfortable experience. I am also grateful they offer such services (technically BEYOND the dealer level) because it did leave me more confident in my purchase. If I had a less specialized vehicle, then I'd likely be going back to them for other maintenance as needed. Pricing from what I could tell certainly lives up to their name of being an alternative to dealer servicing, coming off as less than what you'd likely spend at a dealer.

Went in for a simple oil change. They were like, do you want the free inspection? I was like, okay,…read moreI guess. So for the inspection, they practically took my car apart. Like took off all 4 wheels and everything. They gave me an extensive list of stuff that was wrong. Ok, whatever. But when they were fooling with the wheels and brakes, they totally let a bunch of air into my brake lines. It was like major spongy brake pedal after that and they were fine before. Almost hit somebody on my way home. I called and asked them what the heck and they were like, of course, oh no, we don't know nothin' bout that. So I can't bleed the brake lines myself and had to get a mobile mechanic to come bleed them which costs more than the freaking oil change which was also pretty expensive, $120.00.

They did this without charge and told me the issues. They suggested a rebuild at a price that made sense given the price to fix the leak.

They saved me from spending more money in the future. They were honest and explained everything to me which I really appreciate in any mechanic. They finished my transmission within 3 days. I have driven the car all day and it feels great. I would suggest transmax/ Sams wholesale for any transmission work. Great experience!!

When I got my car back, it was actually worse than before. I called the mechanic and they told me I needed a new camera, but I knew that wasn't the problem. That's when I decided to take my car to Revolution Imports. Fabian was professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. He checked the car and in less than an hour he fixed the issue. It turned out it was only a minor computer reprogramming. He took the time to explain everything and made sure the car was running properly again. It's clear he truly cares about his customers and takes pride in doing the job right. I will definitely be returning to Revolution Imports for a tune-up and for any problems I may have with my car in the future. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who won't try to sell you things you don't need, I highly recommend Fabian at Revolution Imports.
