Horrible service. Took them a Catalytic Converter to weld on my truck, left the shop and drove 600 miles to have the truck die at every stop. Took it to another muffler shop to find out the BRAND NEW Cat that I gave them WASNT welded on, an older one was. Obviously I had to change it, when I got bank to Austin took the truck back only to be disrespected by Riveras daughter and employee. They are frauds and thiefs. STAY AWAY!

I took my 2007 Chevrolet Malibu to Rivera car shop to repair the oil tray gasket since my car was dripping about a quart of oil every two weeks and there was nothing else wrong with the engine. The mechanic told me that it will cost about $360 and I accepted the charges. When I came back the next day, my car was in pieces all over the garage and the owner of the shop, whose name is Rivera, told me that the problem was even worse and that several seals and parts were needed and that the total cost was now $400. By the time I received my car back the total bill was $700.



Two days later my car die don a corner and did not turned on anymore. I called a tow truck and took it back to Rivera car shop because it was obvious that it was related to the repairs done by Rivera car shop. The tow truck cost me $85. When I got there the mechanic, jokingly, told me I had bad luck. After inspecting the car he told me that the car needed a couple of things more; a gas pump and an oil pressure sensor. It cost me another $580 by the time the mechanic finish with the repairs. However, the car still had 2 lights on the dashboard; a check engine and a traction control. When I asked the mechanic what did those lights meant he told me: Possibly the oil pump.



I made a decision to take the car to the Chevrolet dealer for a detail inspection. I rented another tow truck for $120. After a week, the dealer called me and told me that the car had many wrong things with it. Among them several cables were cut and sensors and screws were force into place running the threads. But, mainly the electric system was ruined. They told me that it was not an easy fix. The cost of inspection was $350.



I want to sue Rivera car shop and his owner Rivera for negligence, because of sabotaging my car and fraud.

Lleve mi carro 2007 Chevrolet Malibu a "taller mecánico" Rivera para reparar el empaque de la bandeja de aceite ya mi carro tiraba un cuarto de aceite cada dos semanas y ninguna otra cosa estaba mal con el motor. El "mecánico" me dijo que costaría $360 y yo acepte. Al regresar al otro día, mi carro estaba desarmado en muchas partes y el dueño, que se llama Rivera, me dijo que el problema era más grave y que ocupaba varios empaques y que el total seria $400. Termine pagando $700 dólares.



Dos días después mi carro se apagó en una esquina y ya no encendió. Contrate a una grúa para llevarlo de regreso al taller Rivera, por $ 85.00, porque era obvio que era relacionado con las reparaciones que se le habían hecho en el taller Rivera. Cuando llegue con mi carro encima de la grúa el "mecánico" me dijo con mueca burlona -Usted tiene mala suerte Don!!- Después de revisar mi carro me respondió el carro ocupa dos cosas la bomba de gasolina y también ocupa el censor de presión del aceite en total gaste otros $580 más cuando finalmente el "mecánico" termino las "Reparaciones" el carro tenía dos focos prendidos en el tablero el check engine y un foco más el de tracción control a lo cual el "mecánico" respondió posiblemente es la bomba del aceite.



Entonces decidí mejor llevar mi carro directamente al concesionario Chevrolet. La grua me costó $120.00. Después de una semana en el concesionario recibí una llamada del mecánico diciendo hemos hecho un análisis y tu automóvil ha sido severamente dañado. Principalmente en el sistema eléctrico. Los cables y sensores han sido dañados. Hemos encontrado tornillos trasroscados y también el sensor del aceite esta trasroscado. No será posible arreglarlo, este motor está arruinado. El costo de la inspección fue de $350.00



Estoy demandando al "taller" Rivera y a su dueño por negligencia, sabotear mi auto y fraude.

Hi I purchased a vehical from mister Rivera who was more than adiment that this was an excellent truck with a great motor and a great transmission less than 5 days later the transmission is bad it has no 3 & 4 gear after bringing it to mister Rivera so that he may see what's going on he cared very little he refused any resonable service and even though hour's before he was very persistant that there was nothing wrong with the truck. So heed the warning Mr. Riviera will do the same to you he was a slick talking fast moving lemon dealer
