Auto repair service near Ogunquit, ME

Riverside Garage was founded by Edward George in 1946 in a barn along the Cocheco River in Dover. Eddie was the son of Lebanese immigrants living in the School St neighborhood in Dover. He had a brilliant mechanical mind, a gregarious personality, and a big heart, endearing him to a great many people. During the 50's and 60's, when Eddie’s children were born he took a job at General Electric and moved Riverside Garage to the base of Garrison Hill where his slogan became "On the hill, but on the level". After putting in a full day at GE, Eddie would then work on cars until late at night. It was here that Riverside Garage began to thrive due to great number of Eddie’s coworkers who became customers. Many of them, along with their children and grandchildren, are still customers of Riverside to this day. Shortly after Eddie’s son Charlie joined the business, the two moved Riverside to a former trolley car repair station on High St in Somersworth, NH. Here Riverside Garage has continued to serve the residents of Seacoast NH and Southern ME. Although Eddie has passed away, his sons Charlie and Tim, and grandson Eric continue the tradition he started over 60 years ago.
