Our story

A Family Business, Three Generations Deep

For more than 25 years, three generations of the same family have kept Gavilla Automotive running — grandfather, son, and grandson, all working the same shop floor. Customers get greeted by name, walked through a straightforward estimate, and handed back a car that's actually been fixed right. We've built a name for custom exhaust and muffler work that draws drivers from across Riverside, alongside the everyday repairs — catalytic converter replacement, routine maintenance, and the kind of thorough once-over that catches problems before they turn expensive. It shows in the reviews: a 5-star rating across more than 70 of them, with customers coming back specifically because they finally found a shop they trust. No upselling, no runaround — just fair prices and work done the way it should be.

  • Family-owned and operated for 25+ years
