Warranty and Repairs
Pros:
"Had a problem with my alternator on my golf, so rang the garage up, and they got it booked in more or less straight away, and replaced it with a new one under the 12 month warranty no problem."
"Another garage diagnosed my van to need another new turbo after they had replaced it 2 years earlier at a cost of £1,100. I went to speak to Eric for a second opinion, after a small test drive and connecting to a computer he suggested trying a hydro clean first from another garage for under £100."
"Riverview fixed this problem free of charge."
"An unexpected technical issue with the car was dealt with speedily and to my absolute satisfaction."
"Both cars repaired and returned to us washed in the same day."
"They resolved the issue with the car and had it back to me within 24 hours from contacting them."
"Riverview Cars are replacing the belt for cost (£15) and fixing sensor under warranty."
Cons:
"Absolute disgusting service bought a zafira 6 months ago with 12 months warranty been on and on at owner to fix my car as lights keep coming on kept getting fobbed off."
"Warranty is not worth the paper it's written on."
"Not only did they NOT repair it but I got the car back very dirty and they had used all my fuel."
"Sold an unusable car and contacted by their solicitor."
"Had problem with tyre sensor they argued with me saying there was nothing wrong as the fault was intermit so i took the car for a 20 mile drive and the fault came back."
"The car needed over £500 worth of work whilst in warranty which they covered however since warranty ran out the turbo has gone costing £300+."
"It also worth noting that the 12 month warranty has a claim limit of £500 which was not mentioned, I had to read the small print."
