Riverside Foreign Auto

Best place for inspection in the area. I have tried several shops in Rowley, Ipswich, Hamilton, and elsewhere, and they all sucked. Poor service, no waiting area, grumpy workers, and one place even damaged my low-clearance vehicle by driving it onto a too-high lift. One other shop chain smoked and my car reeked like cigarettes for a couple months. Go to Riverside for professional courteous service. It can get busy at times, so check if the lot out front is full before you pull in. It's only 3 spaces and easy to see from the street.

Probably the best place to have the annual car inspection around here. It seems that car inspection is the only work they do. Nice people, clean place. If the parking lot in the front is full, the back parking lot has plenty of space.

I trust Daniel and Walter with any of my vehicle needs! The are the most honest hard working detailed mechanics I have ever had. I will never go anywhere else. Daniel goes out of his way to make sure his customers get what they need and goes above and beyond to work with anyone’s schedule.

There is a talented mechanic working away in a back garage of this repair shop best known for doing state inspections in the front garages. His name is Daniel. We have been bringing our three older vehicles to him for the last two years. He can diagnose and fix any problem. Super friendly and upbeat personality as you would expect and appreciate from a small town shop. Very fair pricing. So glad we found him.

The older guy with the white hair is a raging jerk. I arrived an hour before close and saw 3 people in line, so I asked if they have time to do an inspection or if I should come back. Guy just replies in a stern tone "have your registration ready". I reply that I left it on the seat, is that OK or do they need me to get it. He angrily repeats himself "HAVE YOUR REGISTRATION READY!!!". I replied I don't know what he means, does he need me to go get it? The second guy must know the first is a grade-A jerk so he steps in and says there are several people in line but leaving it on the seat is OK. I just left and went elsewhere. The rude guy must be the owner or he would have been fired. I notice I am not the only person to have a bad experience with this guy. I am trying to be kind by
