Our story
We're a full-service auto repair shop in Riverside, run by Andres and a small, dedicated crew. Customers come to us on referral because we tell you what's actually wrong with your car — not what pads the bill.
When you leave your vehicle with us, you get a real diagnosis, a clear explanation of every part we replace, and pricing we're confident holds up against anyone in town, dealer included. Local businesses trust us with their company fleets for the same reason.
From check-engine lights to timing chains to brake jobs, we do the work right the first time and stand behind it.
What customers say
“I Was referred to this shop by a good friend for honest, reliable service. I brought in our 2016 Chevy equinox which had a check engine light and was not running properly... I called around while they were working on the truck to make sure I was getting a good deal and I have to say their prices were extremely fair compared to other shops, the dealer was more than double! When I picked up the vehicle he showed me all the parts that were removed and gave me an explanation on the function of each part. It's been several months now and the truck is running as good as ever. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Andres with A&R has been a phenomenal help. I was recommended from my work since we typically use them for our company vehicles. Andres has been outstanding with the diligence and care for any of my concerns... This place is honest and attentive, and incredibly understanding. The prices are also extremely fair for the work they do.”
“Very honest mechanic. My go to place in Riverside. Easy going guy and looks out for you. One time, had an audible noise on the brakes and they figured out it was a piece of metal creating the noise and charged me nothing. Absolutely recommend!”
