Peter and company were so helpful and got me a sticker right away. I’d definitely go to them again.

Have gotten my inspection done here every year for 5 years. Quick and efficient.

Best local garage. Peter is a super nice guy and a talent mechanic. Definitely not a used car salesman. I have serviced cars there for years and have purchased used ones.

I had fallen behind on renewing my inspection sticker, went to Riverside and I couldnt have been happier. Quick and efficient. Pete the owner and the mechanic were professional and welcoming. Highly recommend!

In and out service. Blue collar environment. Don’t expect a snake-oil type dealership experience with all the bells and whistles. Quality and timeliness is the focus.

I called here on a Saturday looking to get a car inspection because I procrastinated much too long, I called at 11:58 and their inspections stopped at 12pm, but they told me if I could get there in 15 minutes he could stay and complete it. He was extremely efficient, friendly, and accomodating, I was so grateful for his help.

Great experience. Very polite and kind owner. I was in and out for an inspection in less than 10 minutes.

I had what I thought was an emergent situation while making an 8 hour trip from Maine to Pennsylvania. My car was shaking and I was very concerned that something was seriously wrong with it. Being a Saturday, I wasnt confident that anyone would be able to assist me. I was wrong. I Googled garages near me, read the reviews, and gave them a call. To my surprise, he told me to come right over and he would take a look at it. He was very forthright with me by saying he couldnt guarantee he would be able to fix it. He explained that he might need parts that he didnt have or couldnt get. I understood, but appreciated him giving it a look. Once I got there, he took my car for a drive. I had explained in detail what happened and he did a few brake checks and took it up the road and then a little farther to see if he could feel and hear what I was. He determined it was mud build up in my tires that was throwing them out of balance. He took the car he had been working on out of the garage and took mine in to remedy the problem. He came back out, told me to take it for a drive and see if it was any better. I could see the remarkable difference immediately. He was an absolute life saver to me! It may not have actually been an emergency, but I had another 7 hours to go, and it gave me peace of mind knowing I wasnt at risk of putting other motorists in harms way while traveling. When I asked him what I owed him, he said whatever I thought was fair. I have no idea what was fair, but I appreciated him getting me right in, and not disregarding my concerns because Im a female. He was very courteous, professional, and polite. I really lucked out making his number my first call. If you have any reason to need a mechanic in the area, I would strongly encourage you to give him a call. My treatment there gave me back my faith in humanity. He could have told me he had appointments and didnt have time to do anything, but he didnt. He didnt even turn me away when he realized it wasnt anything major. Thank you, Sir for everything you did for me Saturday, March 6, 2021!

I stopped by with an emergency and the Manager/Owner fixed it for me and stayed late to help me. I am very grateful to Riverside Garage. Both my windows fell into the door panel and he saved me and my kids from driving around in 30 degree weather. I have used them before today as well and they did a great job then too! I highly recommend them and they are better than 5 stars!

Wow!wow! Wow! Great service....you were so kind to take my car last minute. I sent my boyfriend for me and he told me how exceptional you were. Thank you again.....See you again next year🤗💫 I am so grateful for you thank u

I come here every year for my MA vehicle inspection and find myself also ogling the great used vehicle inventory on the lot. The used car selection is LEGIT! There is always a good variety of low to average mileage used cars for affordable prices at this garage! Much more reasonable than buying used from a dealership... Since I have a reliable, not too old Corolla at the moment, am not in the market for a new used vehicle - but if I were, I would shop here first given my experiences here with the owner (so nice, friendly, knowledgeable about the area) and realization that this garage does not gouge the customer. I will definitely come here for the next issue that arises. This is a reputable small business providing a service and offering customers a great amount of transparency. If you are in need of an inspection, call ahead or pop in to schedule an appt. during 2020 COVID times, the owner will fit you right in and tell you when to come back to (safely) wait in the a/c lobby for your vehicle.

Immediate attention given to my vehicle. Very satisfied

Great service here. Went in for an inspection sticker and ended up chatting with the guy for longer than the inspection took, hes super friendly. I dont know much about cars so garage experiences can sometimes be intimidating, not the case with Riverside. I heard the guy talking to another customer in the room and he was very honest and up front about what needed to be done and what was not an immediate problem, no pressure to get unnecessary stuff done. Ill definitely be going back there with any car problems in the future.

Fantastic shop, owner is wonderful and always makes time for emergency issues.

A great place to purchase a used car or have your car serviced. Things are explained and are right upfront.

I was thrilled with my experience!! I would highly recommend going here for service. Pete was unbelievably helpful! I was having one of my worst days. A simple car inspection took forever due to unforeseen problems with my car. He worked with me. Coached me on how to handle the problems I was having with my vehicle. Not only that but the guy before me was getting upset, and I thought he did a great job handling the situation by calming the man and explaining everything. I appreciated the experience!

Great service, very friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to work with you to ensure your vehicle is legally inspected. He addressed the rust on my fender and informed me about my headlight adjustment, those deficiencies will be taken care of accordingly. The owner is a conversation starter and is definitely great to talk to. Unfortunately the conversation of choice was about politics because of my MAGA hat but we respected each others personal views. I highly recommend this place on whether you need a vehicle fixed or inspected; in addition, it appears you can purchase vehicles through here as well but I could be wrong. So if youre looking for anything, feel free to ask about the various selection of vehicles.

Courteous and helpful. Very polite, very knowledgeable. Will go back in the future

Excellent service! Pete is kind and honest ! We’ve been coming to him for service for years and even purchased new cars when our old ones died. Highly recommend

On my way home to Maine when my windshield wiper started letting go in a rainstorm. Pulled off 495 and saw Riverside Garage. The man in the office fixed the problem, saw my vet plate, said thanks you for your service and sent me on my way free of charge. Love these guys.

Fantastic service! Got me in and out quickly and the owner is a great guy.

Excellent Service! Peter stayed till late to make sure I was all set with my inspection for the weekend. ❤️ I appreciate it very much!

The owner seemed very nice. He sold my daughter a van. We will see how it goes

The owner I believe by the name of Peter has a real condescending attitude. Came in for an inspection, failed the first time which is okay, but when I asked for estimate on the job because he obviously knew what was wrong with my car. He tells me to shop around to compare rates. He, says why would you trust me? Which is great gesture, but I really would just like an estimate upfront. I ask for an oil change, he says, he doesnt do oil changes because theyre not worth his time. I had the work done elsewhere and I come back for my second inspection. I passed, and the next time I need an inspection, Ill pass on this place.

Peter at Riverside was excellent. I showed up right at closing, needing an inspection sticker. It was 90 degrees out and Peter still took me. He was happy to do it, too. The inspection was quick and reasonably priced and he was nothing but friendly and grateful afterwards. I will definitely be going here from now on.

I asked about the cost of rear drum brake service. Peter performed a complimentary inspection and showed me there was barely any wear on the brakes. Honest and informative. Id come back for future service.

This place and its owner peter are excellent, my car inspection has done in 1st attempt successfully, will suggest everyone to go there for ur car work, Autofair Ford has estimated me $2986 cost prior to inspection of my car, i have saved (2986-35) $2951 and credit goes to Riverside Garage.

Service was fantastic! The gentleman running shop is a professional and very kind guy. I highly recommend

I travelled to Haverill to look at a used car and called Riverside Garage to ask if they would check it out for me. Peter not only took me it when convenient for me, he gave me 45 minutes of his time, had the mechanic put the car up on the hoist and ran the computer diagnostics, all at no charge. Peter was helpful and candid in his assessment of the car. I was very please I selected Riverside Garage to look at this car for me. Wish I lived in Haverill because Peter would have my business.

Such a nice guy, great service, more than reasonable prices. I went in last minute late afternoon for service to my car. Pete could not fit me into the schedule that day, but topped of my fluids and checked things out before scheduling me for the next available appointment- a definite first in my experience. I am someone who is truly ignorant about mechanics, and he explained things to me in a way no one has ever taken the time to. He was very aware that all cars have histories and mechanical work that impacts them so that no one system is the same. I thought this was amazing because he was taking so much into account for what my vehicle needed. Pete was kind and took time to explain things to me on my level and had no problem repeating it for my boyfriend when I could not. I am grateful that this is where I went and this is where I will continue to go!

Peter is the best. Honest, explains things, always looks for less costly solutions. Political discussion at no extra charge.

Best friendly service you can ask for definitely will recommend

Great service called and got right in, would recommend to anyone.

Excellent customer service n very pleasant

Got my car inspected here. Will definitely come back for other services.

Guys a scum bag tried overcharging my girlfriend for a simple welding that took litteraly no time to complete and when all I did was question him about the procedure and the work he became defensive and arrogant his excuse...your not the one paying for it. A real scum bag.

Nice and quick car inspection!

Friendly, affordable, and reliable. The next time I need routine service or something more intense, this is where Im going!
