Took my 3 series BMW to Roger after getting fed up with dealer prices and poor service. I must say he exceeded my expectations. Great work and service. I can trust his shop to give me a fair price and not perform any un-necessary work. After switching to a Toyota Tacoma I continued to only get my vehicle serviced here because I know I can trust his expertise and work quality to be top notch.

Roger and his team always do great work. I brought my car in for normal maintenance and he was very upfront with my options.Roger does not try to talk you into doing more than needs to be done. It is great having a resource who provides great service with complete integrity. I recommend Roger and the RIO Imports Repairs team to anyone.

Rio replaced a computer and pump that has to do with the brake system. I found Rio by reading excellent reviews from others. The repair was completed on time and at the price quoted. The car, a Lexus LX 460 L, runs perfectly since the repair and I would recommend Rio for any automotive repair needed. I am so glad I trusted Rio to do my repair.

Prompt and courteous service at a fair price. I was referred to Roger at Rio Imports by my trusted mechanic for my American made car. The referral was well founded. It's such a relief to find a place to get top quality service from good people.

Roger helped me get several items on my car repaired after running over a metal ladder on the highway. I thought I was going to have to get rid of the car, but he put it all back together and it's running perfectly. Thank you, Rio Imports.

A friend referred me to Rio imports and I’m so glad she did. Roger was able to work on my car quickly and was nice to explain in detail what needed to be repaired and let me know my car would be due for maintenance in the upcoming months allowing me to decide on when to have it done. I’m am very happy with the work done and how reasonably priced the repairs were.Thank you Roger and team!

Roger at RIO Imports handled our Mercedes repairs in a very professional manner, and finished the repairs when promised. I’m very happy after our first visit, and highly recommend RIO Imports for all import cars!

Rio Imports - Roger was professional and courteous. He repaired the air conditioning on my Toyota Tahoma quickly and with a reasonable price when no other shop could repair it. He serviced my brake system and everything is operating perfectly. Thanks so much to Roger and all at Rio Imports! Great job! Do not hesitate to take your vehicle to Rio!

I have had two separate vehicles serviced by RIO imports and have been satisfied with the work completed on both. They were able to identify and rectify a couple of issues that had been plaguing my vehicles for an extended period of time (I should have came to them sooner :)) They are truly customer centric, with fair pricing with integrity. I highly recommend.

Roger the owner was great. Responsive and you can tell he takes great pride in the shop and taking care of his customers. I took the car in for a PPI that was thorough and reasonable in cost. Highly recommend them for all services though as the mixture of cars in the shop demonstrated their ability to work on anything and the amount of years they have been in business shows they know what they are doing.

New to the area and tried this shop for some routine maintenance on my M2 based on reading many positive reviews, which turned out to be accurate. Professional and punctual service. Will be back in the future.

Roger at Rio Imports is my first choice to get my car fixed. He is straightforward on his pricing and his work. I have been here a few times. We recently moved and I drive over a hour to have Roger work on my car. I highly recommend Rio Imports to work on your import.

My buddy recommended this place for my Jetta. Best recommendation I ever got! Roger let me bring in my car immediately even when other places say they couldn't get me in for two weeks. There was also a quick turnaround and when he called he explained throughly so I could understand what he did and what the problem was.The prices are reasonable and Roger is a great guy. Definitely will be bringing my car back when I need it again.

Roger and the team at Rio have done a great job repairing and maintaining my 2008 BMW 535xi. Had a couple minor issues and a couple major issues over my 3 visits to Rio. My car has never been better. Drives like new. Roger always appreciated the age of my car and associated costs to repair and provided options with pros and cons of each in an understandable manner making it is easy to choose what best fit my situation. I highly recommend Rio (and Roger).

I've heard such good things from my coworker and my company, so I had issues with my CV joints and decided to call and get an estimate on what it would cost. A few days later, I brought my car in and within a day, it was fixed and running better than ever. I'm so satisfied with the service that I will return with any other car issues.

RIO Imports auto repair came highly recommended by my body shop especially for working on my BMW E46. They know this platform so well they were able to make the repairs quickly. My convertible 330ci runs the best it has since I have owned it. I will definitely use them as my go to for repairs.

My mechanic diagnosed the problem, but was reluctant to do the repair because of his lack of experience with Mercedes. He referred me to a shop which referred me to Rio Imports. Roger's diagnosis matched my mechanic's, the repairs were finished the following day, and the car is running great. Before taking the car to Roger, I saw he had only five star reviews, and now I understand why.

This business was recommended to us and I’m glad we used them. We needed some work on a hydraulic issue and Roger at Rio took care of our problem in a professional and courteous manner. We were impressed with this business and have just scheduled more work to be done. This is a business you can count on.

Bought a beautiful flamenco red Jaguar from here in excellent condition. There was a full service history going back to 2002 onwards, and it was very clear the vehicle was well maintained. After having the car for awhile, I took it back to Rio, and had the vacuum hoses and idle control valve replaced. Excellent customer service and communication!

Rio imports supersedes any dealership in quality and price by a mile. I have a 2015 7 series BMW, and I will continue to have Roger and his technicians work on my car for any service in the future.

From first phone call to final follow up my experience with Roger and Rio Imports was A1. Repair on my vehicle was completed ahead of schedule, could not have been more pleased with the installation and Rogers expertise.
