Auto repair service near Rochester, NH

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.

Fraudulent Sticker Alert! just like a lot of people who go here have poor credit as I did I went to this business and purchased 1 2002 Chevy Suburban from them on 3/20/13 on this day of purchase the outside of the vehicle looked amazing once inside the interior was banged up with cookie crumbs all thru the floor and the leather looked like a cat had a field day in there but I was able to look past all of this due to I am buying someone else old car but just before I left I notice the Maine State Inspection Sticker only had 7-8 months left on it and when I told the mechanic this and that I was gonna go get a new sticker on it at VIP he went inside grabbed a window scraper and scrapped off the old Inspection sticker and put the new one on not even doing an Inspection and says there you go a nice shiny green sticker! as shady as that seemed on 3/21/13 I brought the vehicle to VIP anyways and got it inspected and it Failed with a list of hazards and other things to the point where the State of Maine Inspections had to get involved and rip the sticker off and gave me a one way ticket back to Provo's where I returned the vehicle and instead of offering me a different vehicle the mechanic gave me attitude and said the owner will be out in a minute to give me back my down payment so yes they at least they did that but my advice to anyone before you buy a vehicle from them please take it to your garage and have them do their own sticker inspection 12.50 is worth it if it saves you thousands a month down the road!! do not say you have not been warned!
