Riley Automotive

I asked for a complete review & once over of my car since it is at 58,000 miles. Only $ 50.00

When driving my 1967 ford mustang across the country I blew a rear axel deal and bearing right as I was turning onto the strip in Laughlin. It was 4pm on Friday afternoon. I called around looking for a muscle car mechanic and got ahold of Riley’s and he told me I could bring it by, but they wouldn’t get it done until Monday morning.
I come through and as I suspect it is the bearing/​seal. I drop the car off and he gives me a ride to the golden nugget where I stay for the weekend, saving me 30 bucks on the cab! On Monday morning I go back to the shop and the car is done and only cost me 350 for everything, including replacing the drum brake on that side.
Very honest, great prices, and knows his stuff. He was a lifesaver on my road-​trip. I still tell stories about that time I blew the bearing out of my axel in Laughlin, and Riley Automotive stepped up and saved the day.

Back in 2011 I had what I thought was a rear end problem in my camper van. Someone recommended Riley Automotive. I left it there for service and received a call that my transmission needed replaced at a cost of $ 2300. I negotiated the price to $ 2000 and gave the go-​a-​head. A couple days later I get another call that the transmission got rid of some of the noise, but not all and that the rear end needed work too. I was a little suspicious and ask how often a tranny and rear end go out at the same time and was told it wasn’t that uncommon. I then gave the ok to tear it down for look and was told they already did. I was bothered by the fact that I did not get a chance to check this out first but gave the go-​a-​head to replace it with a positrac rear end. Bob then talked me out of the upgrade and did a swap with a good used one. I’ve regretted not upgrading to the posi ever since, but what really bothered me the most was that my leather jacket disappeared from my van during that service. So I got ripped of by the shop twice. Stay a way!

We had car trouble heading into Laughlin and at the Aquarius our valet attendant reccommended Riley Automotive just across the river. We couldn’t have asked for more prompt service and such a friendly guy. The gentlemen diagnosed the problem quickly and even took us to a breakfast place to kill time while the car was getting tuned up. I would reccommend this place to anyone looking for a real, knowledgable mechanics. They’re honest and fairly priced.
