Prestige Automotive

Straightforward and super reasonable. Very friendly and welcoming, and delightfully knowledgable. Best in Riverside without a doubt.

My go to Auto Repair! Family owned business and they’re FANTASTIC! Super helpful and will do their best to keep the cost low. I bring my BMW X3 here for everything! They are very qualified and very trustworthy! I will not go to anyone else for any auto needs and that’s major considering I live an hour away.
If you are having any issues with your vehicle and searching for a mechanic, I HIGHLY recommend that you call Prestige! Anita and Jo Jo are Phenomenal!

Of course anyone can be skeptical when sending their car out for repairs. Bringing my car to prestige was the best decision i made! Jojo was very knowledgable and gave my a run down of how my car operates. I had a check engine light and low power, Jojo almost instantly diagnostic when i dropped my car off. He gave my a call a couple of days later with the root cause of failure and other items i should look into to keep my car in tip top shape. Being a mechanic myself (diesel) i can say he was very professional and honest. If you have imports or any car this is the place to take it, do not waste your money on the dealership spending thousands. I was very surprised on how affordable my repair was. Anita was also very courteous and knowledgeable. THANK YOU EVERYONE. This will be my go to shop from now on.

Great and friendly service. The owners are fair and honest. I recently had a small issue that ownership helped resolve with no questions asked. I do recommend this shop to locals and will definitely bring my BMW when servicing is required.

I can’t recommend this shop enough. First off it’s good to know a little bit about your own car, fortunately I do. Everything they recommended needed to be done was exactly what I knew needed to be done. Not only did they do it in a timely manner, it was also done for a very reasonable price. Thank you Anita for your detailed update on the service. JoJo, I hope to meet you next time I bring the car in. I’m definitely coming back to do the other recommended maintenance and repairs that was suggested. So again, I most definitely recommend Prestige Automotive to anybody in search of honest and reliable service.
Oh, they also fixed my taillight. I had mentioned it to them to look into. They fixed it without even mentioning it to me or even charging me on the invoice.

I wouldn’t take my Bimmer anywhere else. Jojo is simply one of the best at what he does. BMW was trying to charge me in the 10K area for repairs and Prestige did it everything for under 3K. I’ve been bringing my car here for the past 4 years. I have since moved to Los Angeles and I still make it a point to bring it to Prestige. They are highly skilled and honest. I would definitely recommend Prestige to any of my family, friends or colleagues.

Look, I have a Bentley Continental GT so I’m super picky in where I take it and who works on it. As you can imagine this car is not cheap to work on. I was referred to this place as a qualified mechanic that can be trusted to work on a Bentley.
My AC was working on and off. I called and spoke to Anita and took the car down to be diagnosed. I was looking for a local mechanic and was not interested in taking the car to the dealer in Newport or Palm Springs, way to far and a huge hassle.
Jojo diagnosed the AC and offered a conservative cost effective solution prior to changing out the more expensive compressor. Unfortunately the compressor was part of the solution but even so with labor, parts and the freon it was very affordable considering the type of car and the cost of parts.
Very satisfied, will take all of my cars there from now on. Customer service is exemplary and by the way they had my car washed for me prior to pick up! Who does that! Awesome!

First of this review is based on my personal experience people here very nice seemed like a good place
Came here to fix a noise and oil leak on my car jojo said its your mounts i paid 1,200 ok
Thought it was fixed (oil leak) took like a month no appointment so i was like ok
Got in a car accident a couple months later my mom was at a stop and unfortunately was hit from the back by someone who was going 50 mpn (he took his eye off the road to pick up something on the floor of his car) boom my car was smashed from the back
Ins took a month to say ok fix it i took it here thinking it would b ok again Prestiege is a auto mechanic not a body shop by all means
Took it here omg what a horrible mistake
I told them i got a quote from a body shop all i need is to fix the mechanic problems duh since they are just mechanics RIGHT
took them 2 months ok they decided um we are going to sublet a body shop ugh no one ever called me
I go pick up my poor car the body was horrible paint didnt match i open my trunk they didnt even erase the writing on my truck that was so obviously purchased at a junk yard my lights in the back were not even for my 2005 honda
Prestige messed up so bad i had to drop my car off yet again they finally took it to a actual body shop jojo lied and said he took it there the first time no he didn’t i called the body shop really really nice guy said no this is the first time we are servicing your car omg ins was not i repeat not going to pay for another rental
Prestige paid for my rental for 1week that’s not cheap and i believe they paid out of there pockets to send my car to the body shop
Finally got my car back just a horrible experience
They lied the entire time to me my mom and ins co
Ins co said they will never do business with them ever again i will never go here ever ever again
Point blank period why would any co pay for a rental out of there own pocket if they were not in the wrong? Yea no they wouldn’t at all

They are very helpful, informative and true to their word. This review is a bit overdue. Took my car here for the first time to fix the AC. Two weeks later when my radiator cracked on a road trip. Got that swapped in a couple of days for about $ 450. Later smoke was always appearing out of my engine. Both my heater hose and crank seal were leaking as well as my AC filter. Took them two weeks to complete this because they had to track down the AC filter for a cheaper price than online. got these three jobs done for ~750 with free Freon because they missed the leak the first time. Very awesome team here. Only 4 stars because of my ignorance of relative repair costs elsewhere.

Jo Jo did a top notch job on my 1989 Acura Legend L. It was having some off and on overheating issues for a few weeks. He made quick work of it, thoroughly explained what the problem was, what he did to correct the problem, and the bill was more than fair. He only did work that was necessary to fix the problem but he also took the time to discuss an issue with my radiator (26 years old) that I should keep an eye on. My car is running and driving amazingly again. Also Jo Jo is a really cool and funny guy and his wife Anita is really nice and helpful. Thank you both!

Jojo is the only mechanic I have ever seen that takes the time to carefully explain how he diagnosed every problem with my BMW convertible. He really treats you like a friend and makes you feel at ease when your car needs important repairs, and takes the time and effort to make sure that your car is in great operating condition and for a reasonable price. I don’t intend to take my precious car anywhere else.

JoJo and Anita at Prestige Automotive are the ultimate professionals who deliver the highest quality and best valued service of any Inland mechanic. I entrust the service of my two beloved M BMWs to Prestige and pat my wallet (which still has money in it) when I pull out of the Prestige driveway. This is an A+ professional with family friendly service. I have highly recommended Prestige to my family and friends and they share my satisfaction.

I don’t know much about car repairs or pricing, which makes me hesitant to give them 5 stars in case I in fact didn’t get a good deal, but the service was quick, good, and friendly! I would recommend this place with that initial qualification in mind, my electrical repair did seem slightly pricey, but maybe it should have been!
They also offered me a ride to UCR down the street, which was very kind and appreciated!
Thanks!

Even though I may be a few years late on writing this review but, first and foremost I would like to thank Jojo for fixing my 2010 Range Rover HSE, 08 BMW 750Li, and 09 MBZ E550 and also fixing a friends Ashton Martin. The service is outstanding! JoJo is one hell of a mechanic and a great guy and I also cant forget about his sweet wife Anita, very helpful. :) I can not thank them enough. Sending my love from Texas.

This is not an average shop. They go above and beyond while providing the best customer services ever! Here is why. I drop off my car late and they offered me a ride home. My car had oil and coolant leak. They keep their words both on the price and estimated time. They would explain every details more than once just to make sure I understand. I went back to the shop a week after on a Saturday evening because of a flat tire. I trust Jojo and Anita that’s why I took my car back just for a flat tire. Instead have me waited there for the tow truck, they sent me home. I feel like I have found a trustworthy garage and two nice friends.

I have every reason to believe that my experience here was completely unsatisfactory and I will never be taking my car back. It’s unfortunate when the freedom of speech of a Unilocal reviewer is challenged. Fact of the matter is when you go to a mechanic, your car should get better not have more problems and that was my experience here. I felt taken advantage of because of my nice guy personality.

I had a local mechanic (highly recommended) change my brakes and since then something was up. I never felt as though the car would brake the same way, and the embarrassing squeezing sound my brakes were making were beyond annoying. A friend of mine recommended Prestige automotive. I was hesitant, but called anyways. Anitta, the owners wife, picked up the phone and was very sweet and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and was even able to give me an appointment for the very next day. Bottom line is I was very pleased with the service. My brakes once again work like they should and the price can’t be beat. The location is out of our way, but well definitely be using this shop for all our car needs. Thanks!

I just had the sincere pleasure of meeting the owner of prestige automotive JoJo and his wife Anita. Two of the most top notch, trustworthy individuals I have come across in years.
Not only were they efficient but left a soothing impression without feeling you would be overcharged or bamboozled.
Hard working people that give a good name to the automotive industry as a whole.
I called that same day for an oil change for my MB slk230 and he took me within the hour. Reasonably priced; and recommend service without scaring or making it seem it had to be done that day. Just an old fashion FYI. Love his honesty!
He has gained my trust and will continue to see him for my automotive needs. You should too… Thanks again Anita and JoJo.

I just moved to Riverside from San Francisco and we all know that 2 of the hardest things to find in a new town is a good barber/​hair dresser and a good mechanic.
We towed our BMW on a Uhaul dolly trailer from NorCal. And it was just our luck, the hitch on the Uhaul punched a hole in our oil pan. We called different shops and they estimated the cost to be between $ 1400 to $ 1800.
When I called Jojo and Anita, not only they were SUPER friendly and accommodating, they gave me the best, most reasonable price to fix my car and they went above and beyond to find the part that I needed.
It makes me very comfortable to know that on my first week in this new town, I found a mechanic I can trust 100%, no questions asked. Now on to find a hairdresser as amazing as Jojo and Anita.

I really dread getting my car worked on because it means days without my car, hoping it gets fixed right the first time and a big bill that I am always uneasy about. Jojo and his wife made the experience SO much better than I was expecting.
My Toyota corolla was having issues starting. I took it to 2 other shops which told me it was my battery. After 2 new batteries I was still having the issue and they could not figure out why.
My dad works near Jojo’s shop and has had him work on his cars so he recommended I go there. He knew right away what the problem was and it took him 1 day to fix it, give me a full tune up, change out my brakes, buff out my headlights, give me new windshield wipers among other services. ALL of this needed to be done and I approved each and every service. The bill was right on and my car runs awesome.
I don’t know what he did but my A/​C is now extremely cold. It hasn’t worked this good since I have owned the car.
I will never take my car anywhere else. Love, Love Love Jojo and his very sweet wife!
