Making things right

[Oil Change / Lube]

This review is for a return visit. Original oil change done resulted in multiple issues. Rum River Automotive did a number of things, including replacing my oil plug, cleaning the oil mess from underneathmy vehicle, and new oil/filter change. Additionally, they said they would make it right, should there be any further issues (and documented it on file). Transparency was important. They owned what happened and said they will make sure to monitor/follow-up, as well.

Flat tire

[Tire Rotation / Repairs]

Had a tire that went flat 3 days in a row… “fixed” the valve stem but that was not the issue and had to return to the shop the next day after IT WENT FLAT AGAIN. You guys corrected the issue, apologized for missing the clearly obvious issue, and did it right by me with no issues. Work was quick and greatly appreciated.

Rum River Automotive

[Starting / Charging]

I was referred to Rum River Automotive by a friend who said Rum River Automotive has always done a good job and is reasonably priced. Based on that, I brought my newly purchased Chevy truck in for inspection and any needed repairs. Needed repairs were identified and a quote was provided. The work was done quickly, I was kept in the loop the entire time. I really appreciate the availability Tom provided through text message. He was clear and direct the whole time. He came in under his quote! I’ll highly recommend Rum River Automotive and I will be returning again.
