I own 3 BMW’s - Ryan & Claire have looked after my vehicles for the last 10 years. I trust Ryan’s judgement and advice completely. He is never too busy to discuss any problem.All work undertaken is always cleared with me prior to implementation and I have always believed that they are totally honest and endeavour to provide me the most cost effective solution. I would unreservedly recommend their services.

Ryan is as good as his word and honest. He reduced original quote because he did not use parts he originally thought necessary. Not many places would do that. Job well done.

Was happily met and explained everything that would be done to my car. The work that was done on the car was top notch, the old girl has never run so smooth before.

I am very happy that I found Rival Motors, Now I don't have to look for a mechanic ever again.

Ryan leads a great team at Rival motors with experience and courtesy and he and Claire re such a pleasure to deal with..real professionals where nothing is too much trouble..i had a complicated issue which was fixed at the best price so I can keep my car! They shop around, communicate and most importantly diagnose the issue correctly! 100% recommended any time. You're really in safe hands.

I was quoted cheaper to fix my brakes from other garages but I felt a sense of honesty from the team. They did not try to up sell me into replacing the whole car, like some other places and delivered on time with exactly what was asked. I'd be surprised if anyone feels differently. Great job Claire and Ryan and the guys!

​

I just want to thank Ryan and the Rival Motors team, for a awesome job done on my VW Polo. Rival motors ran a diagnostic on my vehicle and obviously found the problem. It was not a easy part to get a hold of as there was a shortage of this part in SA.
However Ryan and Claire did not only manage to find the part, but also managed to get me one for almost half the price! There are not many honest professionals out there to try and save their clients money.
A big shout out to all of you at Rival motors! I will definitely become one of your regular customers in the future!
