I really like going to River Road Auto. They are always helpful and do a great job. They're reasonably priced and I feel like my vehicle is in good hands with them. read more

I called to ask a question and the person that answered was so condescending and rude, I literally apologized for asking anything at all. I understand you may be having a bad day, but don't try and ruin someone else's because of your unprofessional attitude. read more

Amazing service. I would recommend River Road Automative to anyone. Nobody likes having to go to the mechanic, but when my car needs something done I can be confident that its going to be in the hands of a very knowledgeable, honest, and straight-forward staff. I've dealt with less-than-honest mechanics before but I trust the people here 100%. Thanks for everything, y'all! read more

Noticed brakes grinding and looked up auto repair on Yelp and seen they were the closest and the reviews good. Pulled in at 12.30 gave me a quote and 2.5 hours later I was on the road including a savings on parts Adam got read more

Best automotive experience I've ever had. Was greeted by a hardy "Hello!" I don't remember the guys name but he was easy to talk to and very friendly. I had just moved to the area and wanted to find a good mechanic. My car is 15 years old with 90K miles on it. I love my car so I'm picky about who is going to work on it. Most all of my lights were out and it was time for an oil change. Looked up the nearest repair shop and found River Road Automotive. There were a couple of cars ahead of me so I had a friend pick me up and take me home. Had no idea how long it would take so I settled on at least a next day pick up. By the end of the day the problem was fixed and the oil was changed. He even reset my oil monitor! Without a doubt this will be the only place I'll take my car. Highly HIGHLY recommend this shop. read more

We took our car, which wouldn't start, to RR Auto last week for a diagnosis and was told that there was no compression and the engine would need to be replaced, for more than $3000, and would be replaced by one that had more miles than our current engine. So we had it towed home and then decided to double check with a Toyota dealer, and they had it finished in one day. New spark plugs and a couple of other minor things. They said the engine was flooded and that was the main reason it didn't start. We were on the verge of giving up on the car. So, I recommend getting a second opinion if your experience seems off in any way. read more

Adam has kept my car running and running well. I appreciate his honesty and his skill as a mechanic. This is a busy shop and you have to understand that they are always giving it their 110%, and the fact that their waiting room is not fancy with a receptionist should give you the message that they are working hard on cars. read more

Been taking my families vehicles for years & NEVER have had them mis-guide us. There were times I thought major things were wrong & they fixed it for an unexpected lower cost. Honest, up front & get the job done !! read more

We are sorry that we supported this business over the years sending customers their way! My father in-law called them about his 2008 Chevy 1500 Duramax replacing the lower cooler line to the transmission they told him he wouldn't be able to install it, and they recommended splicing it and flaring it using hose clamps, what a crock of crap! I had the whole line ran and installed in less than 10 min they either don't know what they are doing or just lazy! I used to recommend them but not anymore! read more

I was a customer for close to 20 years. My last experience has ended my frequenting this establishment. Two years ago (4-2019) I paid $600 for front and rear brake replacement. A month ago because of squeaking brakes I took it in and was told the right front caliber had gone bad and was a special order part and was to cost around $300. I called around locally for the same part and found it was a common in stock part and cost about half the price for the part quoted. When I went to pick up the car I was then told by Adam that because he works alone he had misdiagnosed the problem and that a squirt of silicone might fix the problem. I was told to come back if the problem returned which it did about 4 hours later. Due to the contradictory story being told I decided to go elsewhere. Today I went to Joe's Garage who informed me that the both rear brakes were worn down to a couple of millimeters each and had gouged the drums. So now with 30k miles on brand new brakes I have a $400 repair. read more

I would not recommend River Road Auto at all. I took my car in because the heater stopped working. I was told that he would "take a look at it" in a few minutes. He came back 1n a few minutes and told me to try my dealer first, to see if it was still under warranty. Then he charged me $60 for a "diagnostic" whatever that means. He never mentioned a charge until that moment. I made an appointment with him because my dealer was trying to rip me off too. I was told it would be another $300, including a part they had to order. Next day, my son-in-law found a video on Facebook addressing this exact issue with my exact make and model. He is not a mechanic, he's a computer nerd, and he fixed the problem in 20 minutes with a part that cost $10. Needless to say, I cancelled my appointment with RR Auto. They took me for $60 and tried to take me for a lot more. I live on SSA so money is hard to come by. I won't be back. read more

First of all, River Road Automotive has the comfiest waiting room I've ever been in. I highly recommend kicking off your shoes off and hanging on the couch. Second of all, Wade fixed the air conditioner in my car when no one else could, at a fast speed, AND for an affordable price. Once he discovered the part he needed to replace, he placed an order and got the part within an hour. That mattered a lot to me since I took off work time to be there and didn't want to have to go back. These guys are very fair, I highly recommend them. (I did have an issue with one thing, which is that I wasn't quoted a price for the diagnostic until after the service. I don't think this was malicious, they were just busy, and I didn't ask. $60 was a very fair price though, and much cheaper than other places.) read more

We are recently moved to Eugene and found a need for a reliable mechanic. Adam at River road automotive was recommended by a current resident. He has now performed expert repairs on 3 of our vehicles and I highly recommend Adam for his expertise, quality, honesty and fair pricing. read more

I had my water pump go out in my Durango. I called several places around Eugene and was quoted anywhere from $400-650 for the job and some places had a 3-4 week wait to get to it. I had several people refer me to River Road Auto and decided to give them a call. They were very easy to talk to and were able to accommodate me. I had my rig towed in to them in the afternoon, on Monday. At 7:30 in the morning on Wednesday, they called and said it was finished. They had quoted me $377 to complete it, but they charged me $50 less than the quote because they didn't need as much coolant as they thought. They were honest and fast. I will be using them in the future, if needed. I would definitely refer them to anybody that needs automotive repairs done to their rig. read more

I had a very bad experience here. From my car being not completely diagnosed, to a longer than estimated repair time, to rude customer service, to being significantly overcharged, the entire experience was negative. This was 6 months ago and even though I didn't leave a review then, I am now because the exact thing that was repaired is now needing to be replaced again because according to another mechanic, not all the parts were replaced (even though I was charged for those parts by RR Auto). Not to mention that they have non-licensed mechanics doing all the work while the owner simply works the front desk. Their incompetence is actually dangerous. I'd sue them but it isn't worth the effort. But I will NEVER go here again and will advise everyone I know to do the same. read more

Best shop ever! Wade is a master mechanic and has helped me numerous times with my Toyota 4 runner. If he is unsure of the fix (happened once with electrical) he will find the answer and work his magic. And the price? Always reasonable and has always been less expensive than any other places I have checked out for like repairs. I'm treated so well and feel completely at ease with this shop. I no longer price shop - I KNOW I'm getting the very best service at the very best price. Wouldn't trust my sweet ride to anyone else! Thank you River Road Automotive! read more

River Road Auto is not only a lifesaver, but they are as honest as they come. Not only did Adam fix BOTH of my vehicles in a few hours each, he also fixed my truck for nearly $1,300 less than a major chain quoted me. A major chain that my pickup truck needed over $1,500 in front end repair alone. On top of that, they quoted me $400 for brake pads. Adam took a quick look and found that the other guys had tried to replace a few things that didn't actually need replacing. He was able to do the front end work that DID need to be done, as well as the brake pads, for right around $700 total. Much better than nearly two grand, and he certainly did a better job than the other guys would have. I ended up taking my other car, a Scion, to him as well, and he was able to diagnose the problem spot on from my vague, clueless-about-cars, verbal description. Once again, he fixed the problem in a few hours, and for a really reasonable price. He was even willing to show me exactly how much he pays for parts, tell me exactly how much he has to mark them up to make a profit, and he was even willing to show me what went wrong in my car so that I knew he wasn't giving me the run around. He was great about explaining things in a way that I could understand, with me being clueless about cars. On top of the quick, quality, and low price repairs, everyone I spoke to was also super friendly and helpful, and genuinely so. I couldn't be happier with my experience. read more

If I could give them 10/5 stars I absolutely would. The service and kindness went above and beyond anything I could ask for. I do travel nursing for a living and Adam, Wade and the team have worked on my car twice, so far. My sister lives in the area and was recommended by a coworker when my car needed to be looked at. They are so quick and friendly. I was having car issues months later and states away and they went through everything to try to diagnose it from afar. A few months later I was coming back through on my way to Alaska and had my check engine light go off, they got me in the next day, solved it, and even had me come back to inspect and make sure my car was good to go for the long journey. I can't thank them enough for their work and kindness! 10/5 starts all the way!! Thank you a million! read more

I can't explain how amazing and trustworthy this place is. Adam is great and fixed my car problem. I have been taken advantage of by so many mechanics, and I can not explain enough how much River Road Automotive is so appreciated. Thank you, Adam, your great!!! read more

Adam at River Road Automotive found the problem with the right headlight going out by explaining the headlamp gasket issue with my model of vehicle. Had it figured out and fixed in five minutes. read more

I refuse to take my car anywhere else from now on. The experience I had taking my car to Wade blows everywhere else out of the water. Not only is he fast and affordable and clearly the best at his job, he is an incredibly nice guy. I will be referring my friends to him and will absolutely be a returning customer. read more

I've been going to River Road Automotive for over a decade. Wade is the current owner, and he's always been honest and fair. Today, I had to get my alternator replaced. I thought that I had done so not that long ago, and asked him if he had worked on that part. Checking his records, I was right, not more than a few years ago. "I back my work, and the parts I use, and it's wrong that the part should have quit that fast." He refunded me $100, explaining that he needs to make sure that not only is his work good, but so is whatever he puts in his customer's vehicles. If that isn't integrity and honesty, then I don't know what is. I highly recommend River Road Automotive to anyone, and I will be going back, but hopefully, not too often. They do high quality work, fair prices, and are remarkably honest. read more

My water pump went out and Wade got it done when promised and at the quoted price. Super nice people! I would feel good about going back!

Drove up in the morning to say that after 100,000 miles my Honda Fit was running fine, but wasn't it due for some maintenance work? Adam spent time on the computer looking up what was recommended and reported only a transmission fluid change was due. That afternoon I was back for the same. When Adam brought out my keys after 15 minutes, he reported that the transmission fluid was clean and did not need replacing. I pulled out my wallet to pay something for his time, but he would not take a dime. These guys are amazing! read more

My air conditioning wasn't blowing cold anymore so I called River Rd. Automotive to set up an appointment. The person who answered said to bring it by in one hour. Between the diagnostic time and the repairs, I was back home in less than an hour. Adam was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great service! I would take my car back to them for future repairs. read more

River Road Auto is my go to when I have car trouble. I have brought all my cars to them for almost ten years now. Honest, fair, and hard working. They take the time to explain everything that is going on with your car and to give you the best options for you and your budget. Thanks to Wade I was in and out in a flash today with a fixed vehicle!! You guys rock!! read more

I will never go there again for any car problem. I do not trust them with my car at all. I took my car in for a coolant leak. They then put in a new thermostat and a fuel pump $450. After that fix, my car was still leaking coolant. I took it back to them. They then charged me $50 to replace a hose. Guess what? The coolant was STILL leaking after that. I took it back to them a third time hoping they would fix it for free. They called me back and said I had a crack in my radiator $450 fix. I said okay and paid it. A week or so later, I took my car into my mechanic who just got back from a sugary leave. He lifted my car up only to see that the hose for my transmission fluid had been broken. I was almost completely out. He explained to me that the hose was broken during the installation of the radiator I had put in. The repair cost $200. I called the mechanic at river road automotive to inform them, and the only help they offered was to try to fix my car again! It took it to them three times to fix one leak then in the process they caused a second leak that almost costs me a new transmission! I will never suggest those slum mechanics to anyone. I spent way too much on my car and trusted that It was in good hands, and it almost costed me another $1000 if I didn't catch the broken transmission hose! DO NOT TRUST THEM!!! read more

I have been a very happy and satisfied customer of Wade's at River Road Automotive for MANY years. Wade and his crew have kept my '84 Honda Accord in excellent running condition. There has never been a problem that they have not been able to evaluate and fix. Besides providing honest, thorough, prompt and professional service, the cost of repairs have always been very reasonable and fair. Wade also guarantees and stands behind the parts and repairs. I completely TRUST and RELY on River Road Automotive with all my car's needs and know that I'm getting excellent work and outstanding customer service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RIVER ROAD AUTOMOTIVE!! read more

Wade at River Road Automotive was GREAT! There are several auto repair shops on River Road and this one is by far the best. Work done quickly and correctly by hard working people at a good price. Very friendly and Trustworthy read more

Wade is the most knowledgeable mechanic I have ever met, he knows everything about every car. And the best part? He is the most honest mechanic you will ever meet. If there is nothing wrong with your car, he will say so, and not make an unnecessary repair like other shops will do. His prices are also extremely fair, and I have found them to be unbeatable. If you need your car repaired or checked out, take it to River Road Automotive, you will not be sorry! read more
