The Shop Riverside Drives To First
We built AutoTek on a simple idea: do the diagnosis right, charge a fair price, and treat people the way we'd want our own family treated.
Serving Riverside Since 1992
Our Story
Started By Mechanics, Run By Mechanics
AutoTek of Riverside opened its bay doors in North Riverside with two technicians, a lift, and a frustration with how the industry treated everyday drivers. Too many people were paying for parts they didn't need and getting talked down to in the process.
So we built the shop we'd want to bring our own cars to — one where the diagnosis comes before the upsell, the quote comes before the work, and the explanation comes in plain English. Thirty-four years and tens of thousands of vehicles later, that hasn't changed.
Today we serve the everyday issues drivers run into — from a simple oil change to the complex repairs other shops won't touch — for every make and model in the Riverside area.
What We Stand For
Four Non-Negotiables
Honesty First
If you don't need it, we won't sell it. If we can't fix it, we'll tell you who can. Trust is the only thing that keeps a neighborhood shop alive.
Diagnose, Don't Guess
Every repair starts with finding the real cause. Replacing parts and hoping is how you end up paying twice.
Certified Craft
ASE-certified master technicians, ongoing training, and the right tools for modern vehicles — domestic and import alike.
Stand Behind It
Every job is backed by our guarantee on parts and labor — all work guaranteed. We fix it right, or we make it right.
