I was looking for an honest mechanic and Matthew saved me from paying for an unneeded and early brake repair. Love their honesty so I’ll come back.

Burke's is a family-run auto repair place that my family and my parents and several friends have used for years - they are the place that the people "in the know" go to in Riverside! They consistently do excellent work, are completely honest, are really clear in communicating, and their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend them.

I’ve been to this shop a handful of times and they are honest and extremely helpful.

Kevin and his staff are amazing! Called to get help with my car, he was very helpful over the phone and when we showed up he turned on the engine, listened to what was going on, and immediately gave us a diagnosis along with sound advice on what all of our options were. The biggest thing for me is he has expertise and is honest. Would definitely trust him with your car issues.

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

Burke's 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 Burke's will give me an honest appraisal of what needs to be done to my car.

Honest and fair priced. Coming to them from now on.

I bring my car to Kevin and his sons every time I need work done on my car or just for maintenance. I found him after having an issue with the front brake that could not be resolved by two other mechanics. He easily identified the issue and repaired it. He is also very knowledgeable and explains what he finds and what he needs to do to fix it. He never upsells any services but does give good recommendations on what he sees your car will need in the coming months. I appreciate this so much as I can plan and keep up with the maintenance. This is a mechanic with integrity and who knows his craft. I'm happy to support this family owned business!

A family owned business for three generations. Outstanding service and family. You are in good hands.

Burke's does it all! We always take our cars to Kevin and his team for everything because we know we will get honest repairs, good service, and friendly interactions. I highly recommend this shop!

I recently found myself in a bind with my 2019 Ford Transit Connect, a vehicle notorious for its complicated battery replacement process. After a frustrating run-around with AAA and AutoZone—where promises were made and then quickly retracted—I was at my wits' end, needing my vehicle for work and running out of options and time. My experience with Burke's Automotive Repair was nothing short of exceptional. After a disappointing search to get my 2019 Ford Transit Connect's battery replaced, Natty at Burke's was a beacon of hope. Professional and reassuring, he promised a 30-minute fix on the same day. Despite their busy shop, they prioritized my urgent need, showcasing their incredible efficiency and customer care. Natty and his team not only met but exceeded my expectations, quickly resolving what others had hesitated to even attempt. This family business truly understands the value of customer service, making me feel valued and taken care of. For anyone in need of reliable auto repairs, I wholeheartedly recommend Burke's Automotive Repair. They stand out for their skill, speed, and exceptional customer service. Save yourself the trouble and head straight to Burke's. They deserve all their five-star reviews and more!

Working on older model van. Found and fixed the burnt relay switch, then also fixed a second wiring issue that had caused of the initial problem. Kevin Burke has been our auto mechanic for over 30 years and 7 vehicles. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, and reliable.


Feb 07, 2024

Been taking my car here for about a year now. They always do honest work at a great price.


Feb 07, 2024

Best auto service in Riverside.


Feb 07, 2024

Excellent service. Fast service


Feb 07, 2024

Great costumer service! I called 10 minutes before showing up, and they did let me know if the fix was big they might need some time to fix it, but that they could definitely check it out ASAP. I arrived and was greeted immediately, no concern with dragging me into the office to start filling paper work right away. Instead they asked me about the issue right away. The fix was rather quick needing only a little spray and some movement here and there, and had me out of there in no time and told me that since it was a small fix to not worry about it. As a student, shops like these make life a lot easier. Many other shops won’t even look at my car until i pay the hundred+ diagnosis fee. I will definitely be coming back before my road trip to get my car in tip top shape! They really make you feel like they’re there to help you.


Feb 07, 2024

I have been taking our cars here for over ten years. He is an honest and fair mechanic who will go the extra mile to help you. I highly recommend his sevice!


Feb 07, 2024

I was recommended this place by so many people on the Nextdoor neighbor app. I called for a quote on an oil change for a Toyota Corolla 2010 and to my surprise, they quoted me 80$. Supposedly because they use “synthetic oil” it is more pricey. The quote didn’t feel right to me so I called Toyota of Riverside and they quoted me 60$ for an oil change using synthetic oil. The guy knew I was a woman because it’s obvious in my voice, don’t know if they were trying to pull something on me for that reason but either way I don’t think this place is as “honest” and people think.


Feb 07, 2024

I'm a second-generation customer because Burke's is so trustworthy and dependable. They do great work and they are honest and charge fair prices. I can't recommend them highly enough.


Feb 07, 2024

Kevin and his family have been servicing our vehicles for years. My parents took their cars to them, I did as a teen, and now as an adult my wife and I are back in Riverside, and taking our vehicles to Burke’s. In a world where most places lie and rip you off it’s refreshing to know that there are true family values and integrity in companies still. I highly, highly, highly recommend Burke’s!!


Feb 07, 2024

Kevin and his team are great. They have great customer service.


Feb 07, 2024

Outstanding vehicle service AND customer service. My car is still running smooth with no issues after coming here a few months ago. The owner is a person of integrity and cares about people knowing what’s really going on with their vehicle. Prompt at communicating if there’s any complications that come up along the way of servicing the vehicle. The prices are fair, especially knowing that it’s in good, honest business!!

The NICEST automotive repair shop. He was polite on the phone, when I dropped my keys for Oil Change, Tire Rotation and to check my brakes. Service was super prompt, and blown away by how nice he is. The sweet older gentleman with silver hair. My go to shop from now on. No BS, no attitude and no car hostage!
