I came here because the reviews are good and now I’m writing a good review. My wheel was making a clicking sound, when I came in Kevin’s son saw even before my car went into the shop the hub cap was misplaced. He fixed it in the parking lot and said it was free of charge. If you’re looking for an honest mechanic, go to Burke’s
Always receive top care for my vehicles and myself. It is a wonderful shop that always does what is best for me and my vehicle. I give every confidence to the owner and staff.
I took my car in this morning for an issue concerning the brakes. They had a very quick diagnostic and let me know the issue right away. Kevin really look the time to make sure I understood everything, including more long-term fixes they see as potentially happening but aren’t emergent. Superb customer service and are very honest in their work. Definitely will be back here for all my auto needs in the future, as well as telling friends about the place. Thank you!!
Very friendly. Had good interest in solving my car issue. Will definitely go back.
Wonderful honest family Bussines I am going there for many years and always leave with a great feeling. They always go the extra mile for their customers.
I highly recommend Kevin and Matt from Burke’s Auto Repair to anyone who is having problems with their car. They are honest, friendly, and knowledgable and will get your car up and running fast. I have taken my cars their for years, and I’m always completely satisfied with all their work!
My household has been taking cars to Burkes for service for about 40 years, since the days when it was run by Mike Burke, the father of the current owner, Kevin Burke. Im not a car person, so Im grateful to know a place where my car will be taken care of correctly, competently and quickly, for a fair price. I have complete trust in the service I will receive.
Great customer service and auto care. Kevin (owner) and associates explain in full details whats wrong with my vehicle. Very reliable and quality work! A+++!
This is the place to take your car. Honest, dependable and reasonable. The best!
Burkes Auto Repair is a place you can trust. Kevin and his staff are polite and friendly. The repairs are done in a timely fashion. I know Burkes will give me an honest appraisal of what needs to be done to my car.
I am treated like family. the whole crew is personable, polite, good natured, extremely competent in what they do. I would never take my automobile any place else
Good service!
Trusting your mechanic is worth more than words can say, but trust is exactly why our family has gone to Burke’s for as long as I can remember (20 years, maybe?!). Ever have a review you want to write because the service is that great but you don’t want to write the review because then the secret is out? Yep. This is that review for me. But I’ve got to give credit where credit is due, and Burke’s is the best!
I always trust Kevin and his team to do a superb job with our vehicles. They keep us running! He and Matthew recently diagnosed and repaired a complicated a/c problem and I am pleased to report that everything is back up and running. Thanks Burke team!!
The mechanics here are extremely helpful, patient, and understanding. If you have a bit of a wait time on your hands you could stay in their cozy waiting room equipped with coffee machine, water, a restroom and T.V. or walk to one of the few nearby eating establishments. Definitely recommend.
Great service here. Very reasonable prices. Family owned and operated. Kevin and his son made me feel very good about leaving my vehicle in their hands and did a great job repairing my vehicle.
We have always had a pleasant experience with Kevin. He is helpful, honest and prompt with repairs.
A very happy and super satisfied customer. Grateful to Ann and Dave, business owners of All Pro Collision Repair for recommending Burkes Auto Service in Riverside. Thank you Kevin and your crew for excellent, excellent auto service.
Excellent operation, Kevin is running a great shop and is highly knowledgeable and gave great advice outside of just the job at hand.
My family has depended upon Burkes Auto Repair for forty years, moving with them twice to new service locations in Riverside. We have benefited from the high quality of their work and the continuity of that high quality as the leadership of the business passed from father to son. Burkes Auto Repair has helped us maintain half a dozen vehicles (from four different manufacturers) over the years. The service has been well-informed, focused, efficient, timely, and reliable. It has also been thoughtful and transparent. They tell us about longer-term maintenance needs without pressing for immediate decisions. Most importantly, they care about their customers. They know more about our cars than some doctors know about their patients.
We have found Burkes always to be friendly, courteous, and helpful. And--most important--they really know what they are doing !!! We take all of our car servicing to them, and are quite happy with their service ! This says it all for us ! Couldnt ask for more.
Kevin and the guys are fantastic, my family has been going here for years and are always very, very happy. Thanks.
Burkes Auto Repair is a great place to take your car. He is very HONEST which is hard to find these days. His rates are very reasonable. I took my car to another auto shop they quoted me $1500.00. My father in law said take to Burkes so I did, he quoted me $800.00 and I get my old parts back. I was a very happy with his work.I have taken my car back to Burkes for other reasons and he always did a GREAT job.I have always been happy with Burkes.
Kevin has always been openly honest and very helpful. Whenever I need help they make it convenient for me. His work is prompt and reasonable. I am very comfortable taking my car there.
Took my wifes Honda civic to Burkes because her A.C. stopped working on us and summer is fast approaching. Kevin and Bryce were incredibly helpful, courteous, and got us back up and running same day. A.c. is running great, and it ended up being an electrical relay that went bad instead of the unit, and I sincerely appreciate the honesty as they couldve charged me for replacing everything and I wouldnt have been wiser. Highly recommended.
My family and I go to Burkes because him and his staff are honest and trustworthy. I brought my car here because there was a loud screeching when I turned my steering wheel and the staff was quick to resolve the problem to find out MAGNUSON CHANGED MY BREAK PADS AND PLACED THEM INCORRECTLY SO THE BREAK PADS WERE SCRAPING MY ROTORS. Burke and the staff take the time to listen to you and they thoroughly explain everything so those of us who know little to nothing about cars can understand the situation. Theyre quick to help you out as well. THANK YOU FOR FIXING MY CAR!! MUCH APPRECIATED :)
I love going there, they are friendly, knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend them.
Work done correctly at a reasonable price and in a timely manner.
If youre looking for the most reasonable and honest place to get some work done on your car, this is the place to go. After checking other local mechanics I discovered Burkes had the lowest diagnostic fee. The work done here was quick and friendly with no hidden charges. I was told what should be done on my car and only the things that I approved were done. My car wasnt starting when I brought it in and after getting some parts and installing them my car was back to running. Give this place a call if youre hesitant, I have no doubt that youll be greeted and helped with the utmost respect.
Ive been taking a succession of cars to Burkes auto repair for, gee,a couple of decades now. I recommend them. Getting a car worked on is not cheap, here either, but I have gained a lot of confidence in them that they will fix only what really needs doing, fix it quickly and right, and stand behind their work. And, they are extremely nice to deal with, and very good at explaining what they know. I dont have much recent basis for comparison, because I am not going anywhere else, but they have been much better than my older experience at dealers, etc.
Burkes auto repair always takes care of my vehicles! The work is always completed in the time they estimate, the staff are friendly and helpful and I wouldnt take my cars anywhere else!! Thank you for all your excellent work and making sure my vehicles are safe to drive!!
My entire family has been going to Burkes since Kevins Dad owned it and the shop was at its old location. Over the years I have recommended numerous people and they have all loved the shop. Kevin is amazing - very fairly priced and he is very honest. I have taken my car to the dealer before and been told I needed $650 worth of work, and Kevin has told me that I dont need any at all. He will NOT cheat you. One time my husband did our brakes wrong and we took it to Kevin - and he walked my husband through how to do the brakes next time... for free! Burkes is not in the best location, but it is a family owned business full of great people. You will not be sorry!
I have been going to Burkes since 1999. WOuldnt go anywhere else...it is a family run business with 3 generations of expert honest mechanics who do not try and break their customers with price...best mechanics ever!!!
I have been a customer of Burke for the last 24 years. This is an awesome family business and I would not truth my vehicles service repairs with anyone else.
Good prices, friendly, truthful
Have been bringing my vehicles to Burkes for literally decades and dont trust anyone else. Repairs and maintenance always done quickly, often while I wait. Kevin even helped me find a buyer for my previous car. Cant recommend highly enough.
Kevin has always taken good care of our cars- he’s honest and accommodating. He didn’t charge me extra when he had to bring in a lock & key guy to check out the ignition housing assembly. All around good guys at Burkes Automotive!!!
I have been taking my Toyota to Burkes Auto Repair for six years, and I will not go anywhere else. The service is highly professional and very friendly. Kevin Burke and his co-workers always explain technical problems with patience and in great detail and never overcharge.
I have used Burkes for years and they do a great job. However I called to get brake service on a 1964 Impala today and they refused my business. They do great work, but maybe they should change the pictures of classic cars on the google website if they are going to refuse to work on them. Anyways, times must be good if you are turning away business.
Exceptional service!
Great guys, helpful service.I took an older vehicle in to them for a wheel bearing job. While they were preparing for that, they found another problem. They let me keep the vehicle in their lot and gave me a lot of advice trying to track down the rare aftermarket part required, and when I decided to let the car go, they didnt charge me anything.
Kevin and his team are great. They have great customer service.
If you are looking for an honest mechanic, this is the place to go. I visited several mechanics in the area before finding burkes. Kevin is honest and will not only tell you what needs to be done, he will actually tell you what you can put off for the time being.
Responsible, friendly, timely, cost-conscious, and consistent: thats the Burkes Auto Repair way of doing things. After benefiting from their service for thirty-seven years, we can say that they have kept a fleet of our family vehicles on the road, several for more than twenty years.
I have been bring in my vehicle for some TLC for several years now and Kevin and Co. never fail to provide quality service at an affordable price.
Absolutely outstanding service. Exceptionally knowledgeable and dependable staff. Whether its an oil change or a restoration this is definitely the place to go.
I came here when my AC was acting up. Long story short, Kevin was extremely helpful. He gave me options and didnt charge for the advice! Since I decided against the costly and barely beneficial AC repair, I came back to him for a tune up/oil change before moving to Oregon. He had appointments the next day, thoroughly checked the car and had it done after a few hours.I have never had a better experience with a mechanic! (And Im not just saying that. I dont even live in the area anymore, but he deserves all the business he can handle! Quality man and shop!)
Best, most fair, most honest, most kind mechanics that I have ever taken my cars to. So many different situations have put them on the top of my family’s mechanic list.
This IS the only place I will take me car for service, wonderful honest people, Kevin is the best!
Always dependable. Highly recommend.
Kevin Burke and his crew are the best: dependable, knowledgeable and as honest as the day is long. Always my first stop for car care.
Working on older model van, fixed the burnt relay switch, then also fixed a second wiring issue problem that had caused of the initial problem. Reliable and trustworthy for over 30 years
Once again, Burkes Automotive is always friendly and they get the job done right the first time!
Every time I go to Burkes I get great service and helpful advice.
They did a great job, and I didnt have to deal with a car dealership.
Great service
Honest and friendly,
Kevin its very professional, i recommend him completely .
This place is very unprofessional and I will not be returning, ever! I went to get a diagnostic and they broke my key. After notifying them the manager told me it was my problem and they didnt break it. Funny how my key is in good condition then arrives broken when I get home. Its 2017 nothing surprises me anymore.
Awesome service expecially their new worker Jonathan I think thats what his name was. 😊
Professional, excellent service for 20 years, very reliable
Thank you for your same day service!
Friendly guys get the job done, and dont hogswallow you. They really work with you.
Trustworthy mechanic!
Wonderful, as always.
After living in the South Bay for the last 15 years I was spoiled by my mechanic. I spent a year looking for a new shop here and now I find that I have a new place to trust..
Awesome service, honest and professional 😃
Best Auto Repair in Town!
Great service as always!!
