Excellent customer service! They were honest with the service my car needed...no surprise charges when I arrived to pick up car. My permanent go to now, for all my cars needs read more

Found this place on Tire Rack and has been my go to since then. Pam and Lester are really nice, honest and knowledgeable. Very reasonable prices and flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend! read more

Best mechanics around hands down. I usually dealt with Lester up front but the whole staff is great. I had a 16 year old Camry they worked on for years but they were always honest and finally convinced me to get a new car since it was rusting pretty bad starting with the lug nuts being cut with each rotation. But even with oil changes, they choose the best oil for you and don't try to make you come every 3k/3mos like most places. If your into changing tires seasonally they are partnered with Tire Rack for convenient delivery and installation with them. Will probably see them soon again in the Winter time for winter tires or for a really good set of All-Seasons this year. read more

Great shop. Owner very knowledgeable and helpful. Will recommend this establishment. Very professional staff.

I have been going to Riverside tire and auto for years. I do not trust ANYONE else with my Mercedes Benz. My husband also does not trust ANYONE else with his RAM. We are always treated kindly and with the utmost respect. Pam has always been kind, sweet, and friendly to myself and our family. My daughter just got her first car and we brought it in for a check up. Lester was amazing, helpful and on point with his knowledge of her 2012 Honda civic. The staff here is wonderful and always dedicated to giving us the best price, and service with a smile. Thank you Riverside tire and auto staff, and happy holidays!!! read more

The customer service here is absolutely horrible! I called and asked to speak with he man who i had dealt with. the guy who answered rudely told me I can either speak with him or i can take my business else where.... are you fucking kidding me? I just needed to speak with someone who knows about what was wrong with my vehicle! I will make sure everyone i know, knows to go elsewhere with their business read more

Lester is the most honest mechanic around. He's so professional and thorough. He explains everything and tells you exactly what he found wrong with your vehicle. I won't go anywhere else, he's the best!! read more

I've been coming to Riverside Auto for mechanic and body work for my vehicles since the early 90's on the recommendation of a dear friend whose parents were coming here over 40 years ago. I've been blessed to have them as a professional business I can rely on for all of my vehicle care and more importantly, developed caring friendships that go above and beyond a business relationship. Brian, Lester, Pam, George and the guys have taken excellent care of my cars and been more than fair, providing convenience and explaining all that needs to be done. I live in Belleville now but even came here when I lived in Verona and Fairfield. If you need a reliable, honest, convenient, thorough and friendly mechanic shop for all your vehicles needs, what are you waiting for?! Get going to Riverside Auto and Body! :) read more

Found this on tire rack. No regrets going to this place. Excellent customer service. Staff is very nice and helpful. Will definetly come back. read more

Tire installers are not a dime a dozen, but unless you really care about your car, you'd never notice. Take a flat tire. If you ever swapped one out, you get the general idea of getting it patched and re-mounted. You probably got the attempted up sell: "This tire's no good, you need a new one"; or maybe you got the more common over torque of your lugs, so the next time you try to take off that tire, you're standing on a tire iron in the freezing cold wondering how you're gonna get home. There's none of that nonsense at Al's. You want a torque stick used on your tires? No problem. You want your tire patched? No problem, no attempt at replacing a good tire with a small patchable hole. He wants you to come back, each and every time. I bought tires from Tire Rack, drop-shipped to Al's. He had the tires in two days from order, and I had the first appointment the next day. Took a half-hour, during which I went to the post office and got coffee. I mean, you can get stuff done in Belleville. Tires mounted, cost was less than $25 a tire, and in all, a great experience. When it comes to your car, you can easily encounter sleazy types, but I can safely recommend Al's as a great exception to the rule. -C read more

This place was great! I needed new tires and I had seen them as an installer from tire rack.com . After comparing prices it was suggested that I buy online and instead of having purchased it at the store. Moreover the tire I selected was not accurate and a much more cost effective solution was recommended!!! I haven't run into any business that has been so ethical and had the customers interest so much in mind. I hope this review helps them to get many more customers and they keep growing! Thank you for your service! read more

If you are anywhere near this place USE THEM!! My car overheated in the morning and i was alone and already tried to put fluid into my car. When that didn't work I was in a complete panic. I asked SIri for a near by shop and she took me here. These men were fantastic. There calmed me down and looked at my car. They didn't take advantage of the fact that I have NO car knowledge. They were more then willing to talk to my father as well as give me option of taking my car somewhere closer to were I was working. They knew that I was from out of town and they fixed my car that day and called a taxi so that I could get to work. I HIGHLY recommend these people. It really means a lot when I get go to a place as a young girl in a complete panic and feel complete comfortable. Great business!! read more

Hidden Gem on Valley Street! Recommended by TireRack and Riverside ROCKS folks!!! Two front tires replaced set me back about $35. So I'm addicted to market research and shopping online. Mi lady Niki K needed some new front tires and TireRack was having a sale #Winning! I picked up two brand new Kumho's for the ride and figured I would get it installed when I got them installed. Upon checkout TireRack provided two options. 1. Ship to home 2. Ship to installer Of course I played around with the figures and sending directly to the installer was the perfect option and it would get there next day! Next day arrived, I call up Riverside as this was my virgin first experience and Lester walked me thru the entire process. Lester is awesome! He rocks and even did his best to get me added to schedule same day as the holiday weekend was approaching. About two three hours later I called for an update and was told I can come in now. 10-15 minutes I'm literally in and out, new tires, smooth ride and prepping for my July 4th holiday weekend. By winter I will need new tires for my ride and I WILL return to Riverside. Give them a try, they offer multiple mechanic services and labor rate is $85 per hour. Enjoy read more

The staff at Riverside are super helpful and provide excellent customer service. I'd highly recommend them for your auto needs.

Riverside was recommended to me through A friend, There very nice, They helped me out w/ A few minor repairs & didn't even charge me. I went back for breaks, roders & both hub bearings & was quoted A fair price, other places I called quoted me A price 200$ higher than Riverside, I have A 2009 Toyota Camry & have quit A few miles on it since I use my car for work. I would definitely recommend Riverside Auto & will go back from now on for my car repairs. read more

Found this place by random luck searching the internet. Have had service at many local shops, and this is by far the place where I actually feel like I'm not being ripped off. Arranged for brake service on my 08 Accord.....prices were extremely fair, and they are even helping me out on Tires and additional service. I think I've found the spot where I will be taking me and my wife's car for all future services. read more

I found this place via tire rack when I needed a recommendation to have my tires installed. That was 7 years ago and I've gone here for all my auto service ever since. They give excellent customer service , Lester & Pam at the front desk are the best I've ever dealt with. Their mechanics are top notch and never try to up sell you for more than is needed. I travel 45 minutes to have my cars serviced here in Belleville because they are that good! If you want great service at a fair price from people you can trust give Riverside Tire a try, you won't go anyplace else. read more

Pam was very rude and disrespectful when asking to speak with owner. Had some questions about tires and she Rudely hung up on me. Not sure what her deal is but someone needs to put her in check. Your sitting behind a desk at a tire shop answering phones..know your place. Very unprofessional and just lost a customer.. read more

I came in with a tire that was leaking air. They fixed it quickly and were very polite and professional. I am looking forward to buying my next set of tires from them. Riverside Tire sets the example for all other tire dealers to follow. read more

Every time I go here I am amazed. Tire light on my car goes on... call for an appointment, bring it in... they check it.. just low... fill it up, no charge! I seem to do this every time winter is coming. When we have more serious issues, the prices are low, the work is done quick, and the staff is always cheerful. They let us know we should get our front tires replaced, and the breaks replaced before winter. I am going to call them now to have them order the parts, so I can bring my car in. read more

Great customer service! I ordered tires on tirerack.com to have them installed here. The process of ordering and setting up a time to have them installed was easy. My car was finished and ready to pickup much faster than expected. Riverside even honored the discounted install price tirerack had quoted me. read more

Very good, took my car for a wheel balancing and I really liked the service the pricing the time everything went flawless. Staff very professional and friendly. read more

These guy's do all the work on my three vehicles. They are honest and reasonable and fast. A rare find today!

I've been meaning to put in a good word for this tire and auto repair shop for some time. These guys are great and reasonably priced. They have worked on both of my Toyota vehicles, Highlander and Rav4 and also our good friend's car as well. We've come to rely on them as the go to folks for fair and good service. read more

I ordered tires from them directly. I had picked them out on Tire Rack already. Taking into consideration the shipping the price was comparable. They installed them fine but they didn't clean off the white gunk they used to slip the tires onto the rim. A few days later my air pressure sensor went on and I noticed my new tires we're leaking air. I brought the car back and they said one of the sensors was leaking. Funny they were working just fine before the tires were changed. They charged me $100 or so to change the sensor they damaged while changing the tires. To this date the air pressure light was still on until I brought it to the dealer to fix it. Turns out they never properly calibrated the new sensor. They just reset it. This place is sloppy and I would not recommend it. read more

Got me in as soon as they could for missing engine and Check Engine light. Exhaust pipe leak found during August visit repaired. Less than three-hour turn-around and promptly notified when completed. OEM parts and labor charges less than previous mechanic's after-market. Support your local good-guys. read more

I'm not surprised in the least that Riverside has so many 5-star reviews. I've been coming here for years and Pam and Lester are just really great folks to deal with. I've had them do a lift on a jeep, a lowering suspension on a VW, and everything in between. Great service and great work = 5 stars all day. read more

I ordered 4 tires from tire-Rack and had them delivered here. They called the same day the order arrived to schedule installation. They installed for about $10/tire plus tax which I think is reasonable as I had seen $12-$15/tire. I was late to the install but they got me out of there before they said they would. The service was amazing and the staff very very very friendly. They know tires and even before ordering from Tire-Rack, I called them for a general tire question. Lester answered my question with a smile (I didnt know if he actually had a smile b/c I was on the phone but he sounded happy. LOL). This place is a great little hidden spot (right along the train tracks. LOL) where people truly care. Will definitely go here again (if my flat allows me to drive there safely. LOL). read more

I've used Riverside for the past 18+ years. They've worked on every car I've ever driven. Their professionalism is top-notch and they're very friendly. I've lived in several towns in NJ and I ALWAYS take my car to Riverside. I don't trust anyone else with my car. Their prices are reasonable and fair and they do the work quickly. From tire replacements to oil changes to starters to exhaust systems...George and the guys at Riverside are AWESOME!!! read more

I had them install tires I bought at Tire Rack online (they can be shipped directly there). They were reasonably quick, easy to reach, courteous, and did a good job. Their prices are very good, although a local mechanic might be able to mount/balance a set of tires cheaper. They'll also rotate your tires for free while you own the tires/car, as well as try to price match mail-order tire places. read more

My tire light was on so I brought it here to check if there was a slow leak. They took it right in and determined it couldn't be patched. They were able to work with the tire coverage I have through my dealership and got a new tire in for me within hours. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, especially Lester at the front desk. I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp and hope that other people read all these glowing reviews and choose Riverside. After my experience here, I will never take my car anywhere else for tires. read more

Had tires I bought online from Tire-Rack installed here. They did a good job installing them, but they didn't call me to let me know the car was ready like I asked. Also the new tires were scuffed/dirty, from shipping I guess, they could have wiped them off with a rag. Two admittedly minor complaints. They were friendly and seemed honest I might give them another shot if the need arose. read more

unusual setting, quiet place, very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend them!

Riverside will get you in on fairly short order and do competent work with no gouging. We take a Mercedes and a Volvo in for regular service and repairs. Peace of mind when it comes to auto service is a rare thing, so we appreciate it. read more

If you want to be treated fairly come to this place of business. Im a fairly new car owner and I know very little about cars in general and have been going to tire shops who charge me and do the minimum. I called this business, and not only did they offer me assistance, but they help me understand the problems my car was having a lot more . I needed air so be balanced in my tires and they did it for free! though i don't wish for my car to have tire problems anytime soon I can't wait to do business again! Such a great and refreshing experience! THANK YOU read more

I'm so satisfied with the service I was giving. I thank you guys and Pam for everything. It was my 1st time coming here, but not my last, i would recommend Riverside Tire to all my family and friends if needed. Very happy, Thank you. read more

I'd been having tire pressure issues the last few days and was super stressed since I'm in the middle of a 6 day work week that requires me to drive 80 miles each day. I wasn't sure how I'd find time to get my tires looked at and if any place would be able to help on short notice. I showed up at Riverside this morning right as they opened. They were so accommodating despite a busy schedule and were able to look at my car before their appointments started coming in. They found a nail in my tire and plugged it up and I was out of there with peace of mind in a half hour. Thank you guys! read more

Let's be honest; buying and maintaining tires is not the highlight of my day, but knowing I can go to Riverside Tire for friendly and reliable service takes a lot of stress off of me. Pam and Lester are two of the nicest people I've worked with in this industry; fair, honest, and flexible. The service is fast and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Riverside Tire for ongoing auto and tire service needs. read more

Lester was a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and friendly. I needed 4 tires mounted and balanced on my X5. Then I threw him a curve and asked for an alignment as well. Even though I was a walk-in and they had other appointments already scheduled for the day, they got the job done much sooner than what they promised. I was very impressed with their professionalism- this is what service centers should be. read more

Believe all the hype. This place deserves the five stars it has gotten from others. It's rare to find a business that values customers over profits, but Riverside has found the formula for that delicate balance. From the time I called to make an appointment to actually getting my car back, I felt like I was a human being. Often times in today's society people in the service industry view customers as a burden or worse just a number. But it couldn't be farther from the opposite at Riverside. I could tell that Lester, the manager, wanted me to come in and did not mind squeezing me in for a quick repair. I walked in to a small, humble office and chatted with the man who was as much of a car aficionado as I am. Before I knew I had found a new service center to bring all my car needs to. Riverside is a "full-service" center meaning they can do anything and everything for you. With a great attitude and absolute concern for customers, it's no wonder that this business has so many repeat patrons. As Lester said the people come here become more like family and family treats each other with respect. I found a hidden gem in Belleville and I am more than excited to share it with everyone else! read more
