Our story
We're a family-owned and operated auto repair shop in Riverside, run hands-on by owner Dalton and a small team of experienced mechanics. Every vehicle that comes through our doors gets Dalton's personal attention: from the first diagnostic to a walkthrough of exactly what was fixed and why.
We've built a reputation for handling the imports other shops turn away, especially European vehicles that need a more meticulous diagnostic approach. Before any work begins, we tell you what we found, what it costs, and what can safely wait, often with photos and videos of the issue itself, so you're never just taking our word for it.
That kind of straight talk is why customers come back with every vehicle they own, and why so many find us through a friend's recommendation instead of an ad. We'd rather save you money on a repair you don't need yet than upsell you on one you do.
