Top Dawg went beyond my expectations. The diagnostic test was performed quickly, parts were ordered and installed in a timely manner. Great communication from Warren, total came in exactly at the estimated price. AND, they filled my tires too. Very pleased, highly recommend. I'll be back!

When I called to ask for an estimate, Allen was able to give me a reasonable estimate, make my appt, and let me know how long they'd need my car. The shop was efficient and got the work done in the time and at the price Allen had quoted me when he gave me my estimate. I am pleased with the communication, attention, and services provided. Thank you, Allen and Top Dawg auto repair.

I was on a job in riverside, an hour away from home my front brakes went out. I didn't know any repair shops. I went to them because they were the closest to me. I'm glad I did, they were very helpful got me new front brakes and an oil change in 2hrs, was back to work in no time.

Stay away from this place! Specially if you are a woman! The owners are very dishonest! They will lie to you stating that a change of heater hose will take them 2 hour labor and the cost of the hose will cost them $150!! Such a liers! My car broke right next to their shops so I end up going with them last minute which I didn’t get the chance to research for the part on that moment however the next day After I did my research I called them very early to ask them to NOT work on my car cause I was going to take it somewhere else so I went to pick it up and they still did it! And they wanted me to

My vehicle had a charging system light and Top Dawg Auto Repair assured me that they could fix it using their high-tech diagnostic tools.

After nearly an entire week with no news, I went there to check on my vehicle. They said that they were busy and hadn't found the problem, but would get around to it and reassured me of their skills. The next morning, they called and wanted me to authorize more money to continue examining the problem. Although I had previously explained that I am on a very limited fixed income, I had no choice but to agree.

Later, they called and told me to take it

Great people here. They really know their stuff. If they say you need something fixed, then they are right. Get it done by these guys. They don't charge you for stuff you don't need. Very fair and honest.

Got a flat tire in that danger zone so I bought used tire for 45 that had similar amount of tread (basically new) as a replacement. Now I am just wondering if I should have asked if this was a patched tired in the safe zone that they are selling me for 45. But I mean, it got the job done...

So glad I found this place! My car was overheating quite often and the day before I took it to this place it basically stalled on the highway. Somehow I was able to get it home and I prayed that there was a decent auto shop near my house out of fear of not making it to the shop. Although I spent a lot of money on it I was communicated with throughout the whole process. I was in no rush so I left it there over the weekend and Monday I was informed of all the issues. Which were many. Got a new radiator, thermostat, fluids, and a few other things. At a lot of auto shops you are just another number

Top Dawg is THE top dawg of auto repair in Riverside!! I highly recommend them for your auto care needs!
Had an unexpected snafu on a road trip last Friday where I thought my car was going to completely stop in the middle of the 91East freeway! It was pretty scary. Luckily, I was right near an exit that I could pull off the freeway. I was able to coast down the street slowly and I randomly came across Top Dawg...and, thank God! Just as I pulled into the parking lot, smoke started to come out from under the hood! (Car had overheated due to blown radiator.) Quick-thinking Rachel, the service advisor

Good customer service that's not the problem at all with my experience. My personal experience with this place is that my car has been here since April 8,2019... it is now April 16,2019 I was told my car would be ready April 15,2019 I have since then had to miss my birthday party because my boyfriends car was here when we were told it would be out on the 15 they've had our car for OVER a week I understand it takes about 4 days to fix transmission issues but oil pan issues take 3 hours max. Its become a burden to take public transportation when I have my own car that I could've been

Top Dawg Repairs is the place to go! Rachel is a sweetheart and hooked me up with fast friendly maintenance. She also found me a part that I've been looking for for less than HALF the price of what it's worth! The BEST place to go if you aren't as car savvy and don't want to be taken advantage.

Since 2016, my Ford Escape (Lic. 5BNS985)has been in 6 time for check engine light diag. The same problems has repeated each 6 times. The most recent was July 18, 2018. Less than a 100 miles and within the second week after service, the engine light came on again.

Not only have I spent a lot of money trying to get the problem solved, I have wasted a lot of time plus the worry ! Extremely frustrated.

Amazing experience here! I was given a business card by Warren, coincidentally, since I was going to take my car to another place to get my smog checked on the same day. So I decided to try them out and went on my lunch break, thinking I was going to leave it for the rest of the day and pick it up after work. I was there for about 15-20 mins between getting checked in, getting the smog done, and paying/signing. They also checked my tires and filled them for me! Normally dealing with something like this is a chore but I was able to take just a few minutes out of my lunch hour and knock everything

Came here to get a new battery installed on my car. Allen was friendly and they got the job done very quickly. I do still think that $20 is pricey to get a battery installed, especially since it took a short amount of time to do, but I did pay for it and I have had no problems since.

Fast, reliable, knowledgeable.
Had a quick ignition replacement required on a work truck, I told them I HAD to have it done the same day, they were accommodating and fast. They diagnosed, replaced the part and had me back on the road in just a few hours.
The shop has very little street parking, so it's kind of tough to get at the front door, but the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Fair price for the rush, no problems whatsoever.
