The best mechanic in the Delta Area BAR NONE. Jim always did me right. Had my 2004 Hyudai Accent ALWAYS running at tip top condition as well as my mom's 2005 Accent. I recommend him highly. He and his guys always do great work. My only complaint is that I couldn't take him with me to Reno. I can't find a decent mechanic anywhere up here. COME TO RENO JIM I MISS YA!?????

Rio Vista Auto 'Damages' My Key Slot after I paid 650 US Dollars to fix my steering column on my Ford 150 pickup truck.See the video and Read the complete description at:Copy and Past.youtube.com/watch?v=4vsz…Rio Vista Auto 'Damages' My Key Slot after I paid 650 US Dollars to fix my steering column on my Ford 150 pickup truck.Get a written contract before you spend your money here, otherwise you will regret it.I am posting this so very person who is an outsider, educated, and from a 'city' should know not only how James the owner of Rio Vista Auto Operates , but how his employee Al does not finish the job, and sometimes he will even damage an auto or truck while he is supposedly fixing something.First, the bait and switch of James and Al. James told me that it would cost me between 200-400 US dollars to fix the problem on my steering column. I knew he was lying, but ok. I get a phone call from Al who states to me that it will cost about 725 dollars. He lowers it to 650 dollars. Still too much. Why. Because the hourly rate is 140 x 2.5 hours for a total of 350 dollars. Then about 225 in parts, for a grand total of 575 dollars.I was willing to pay the extra 575 dollars just to get the part repaired. The problem is that after I used a credit card to pay for the job, the key would not come out of the key slot, which was working, or coming out before I brought the truck into the shop for repairs. Al tells me that I have to reach over the steering wheel to pull it up to take out the key, every time I want to take out the key.Wow! I paid 650 dollars to have to reach over the steering wheel each time to pull up the handle to take out the key. So, Al does not finish the job, but he actually damages the steering column. What are the excuses of James and Al? The truck has over 600,000 miles on it and all of the screw were loose when I brought the truck into the shop. Again, lying, and being unprofessional, no integrity, etc.I returned for the second time. All Al did was to lay down some paper on the floor to try to trick me into believing that he worked on the truck a second time. Another lie and deception from Al and James. I talked to James about it, but I knew nothing was going to happen to get the truck's steering column in working order after or before I paid 650 dollars to get it done.Only after I told James that I had a video of the key being stuck and that I had to talked to a lawyer about it did the actually fix the steering column so the key would come out without pulling up on the steering column. That was way it should have been before I paid 650 dollars, and that is what I paid 650 dollars for in the first place.Four times before, a newly installed radio now loose. Plastic parts on the floor that I had to put in because Al did not finish the job. A fuse still out of the box because Al did not put it into the fuse box. Plus, other times like when I paid James to fix the overhead lamp, which he did not do. I paid for something to get fixed, and he did not do it.Four times before, a newly installed radio now loose. Plastic parts on the floor that I had to put in because Al did not finish the job. A fuse still out of the box because Al did not put it into the fuse box. Plus, other times like when I paid James to fix the overhead lamp, which he did not do. I paid for something to get fixed, and he did not do it.What happened next you may ask. While I was walking to my truck after they told me the job was finished, I tried to put the key into the door, and it would not go into the door key slot. Al was there watching me, and truly, I thought that he was trying to pick a fight with me. Get this. Al tells me that he had to work on the steering column from the passenger side of the truck. A LIE.The response by the owner is an untruthful statement about how they treated me and my truck. More lies.BEWARE of this business, Its owner James and employee Al.

Driving from Oregon I snapped a steering linkage bar. I lost all steering and decided to have truck towed to Rio Vista Auto Repair based on the reviews I had read while waiting for the tow truck. They opened at 8am and had my truck repaired by noon. I was in Ca for work. They saved my week and my truck has not felt this smooth on the road in years. I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for the quick and thorough repair.Service: Steering & suspension replacement

They came through on time (on the moderately expensive end of the scale) but got the job done.

Needed to get a few things checked out on my car, I checked out the dealership to see how much it would cost for a diagnostic check on a check engine light. I was going to be charged over $250, I decided to ask Rio Vista auto repair the cost for a check engine light diagnostic. it was definitely a lot cheaper. They also gave me the breakdown of what they typically do when checking on a check engine light, I also need a few tires changed as well as oil change I was very pleased on the service. I would rate them for the five stars!!

What an incredible business and business owner. Our family was stranded at a local Rio Vista gas station and James happened to see us “broken down” as our tow truck arrived. We had our pop-up trailer, kid and dog in the back seat and thought we were going to miss our 4th of July camping trip. He was kind enough to ask us if we needed any help and helped diagnose our battery/starter issue. Not only did he see if he could help us and figure out the problem. He figured out the issue quickly and helped get us on our way. By far the best mechanic we’ve ever met and/or worked with. If you need an amazing mechanic whether you live in Rio Vista or are passing through, Rio Vista Auto Repair is the place you want to go! Thank you James!Service: Auto maintenance
