Roger and his team were fantastic. Had very little options with my 1991 BMW and they came through with swift fix and very reasonable pricing. I highly recommend.
Really appreciate the work the folks at RIO did to get my car back on the road. The 5 star google reviews steered me here and the work was reasonable and quick. Thanks!
Took my 2012 C250 Benz in to Rio Imports Repair Inc a rattling sound on starts. Roger performed a professional timing chain replacement that completely restored engine performance. My car is finally back to running smoothly like new without the constant fear of engine failure. Highly recommend them for complex Mercedes service."Very Fair Pricing.
I took my Mini Cooper to Rio Imports for a “check engine” light diagnosis and a complete oil change, and they did a fantastic job. The service was thorough, efficient, and done with real care.

I highly recommend Rio Imports for anyone needing reliable, honest work on their vehicle.

I got preferred to Roger by someone and he did not disappoint. He did great work on my Maserati with decent price. He was very quick as well. Thank you!
Great shop! Brought in my BMW for a clunking noise, diagnosed quickly and told me exactly what was wrong. They did the repair in less than a day and the problem was gone! Lots of experience and fair prices.
Mr. Roger and his team provided excellent service. As an out-of-state buyer, I utilized Rio Imports for a pre-purchase inspection. The rate for the inspection was fair and the value was amazing. They provided numerous photos of the car, indicating which components were solid and which were compromised. All points were captured in an invoice and sent same-day. Highly recommend; would do business again.
Roger at Rio Imports is exceptional. His customer service, workmanship, and communication are exemplary. He is honest, understanding, and provides a great place to service your car- highly recommend his work and professionalism.
I chose this business to work on my car based on reviews. The process was smooth and the work was completed promptly. So far the car is running great. I will return if there is a need in the future and I would recommend to friends or family based on the service I received.
If I could give 6 stars I would. I am a mechanic and the shop is incredible. Roger runs the shop like it should be. Personal and professional. I will bring my vehicles to him without hesitation. On time and as expected! All shops should be run this way. Bob
I had taken my vehicle to a mechanic who misdiagnosed the issue and would not work on Imports. Roger’s shop was recommended by another mechanic whom my daughter utilizes and trusts (also does not work on Imports.) Roger assessed the problem and had my vehicle completed within the same day. He also had factured in his quote the cost of a part he thought he may have needed yet he did not have to utilize. I appreciated his honesty to deduct this from the original quote. I will definitely be back when any additional work is needed in my car. I would highly recommend him.
We’ve been taking our cars to Rio Imports repair Roger for 36 years. Roger is amazing and very honest about the repairs needed. Our cars are always repaired efficiently! Thank you Roger!

Everything is operating perfectly. Thanks so much to Roger and all at Rio Imports! Great job! Do not hesitate to take your vehicle to Rio! FIVE STAR BUSINESS!!
Following a misdiagnosed water pump replacement and a disappointing lack of urgency from my long-time mechanic, I turned to Rodger at Rio Imports Repairs Inc. The level of professionalism, the efficiency of the service, the transparency of the pricing, and the noticeable improvement in my car's performance were all exceptional. I am extremely pleased with the entire experience and confidently recommend Rio Imports Repairs Inc.
RIO Imports is my go to for my 2005 SLK55.
Roger does a great job of explaining the issues and does his best to get the best prices on parts. Always a great experience!
RIO has been around for years and has always been able to diagnose and fix whatever problems I've brought them. Dealing with the owner, Roger is always a pleasant learning experience as he'll take the time to explain what's going on and get you back on the road quickly. 5 stars for sure.
My husband and I have dealt with a sunshade on our 2017 Ford Explorer that wouldn't shut after having the headliner taken down repeatedly trying to find a leak. We brought the vehicle to Ford who told us that we needed to replace the rails and it would cost approximately $1,000.00!!! We are an elderly retired couple and certainly don't have an extra $1,000.00!!! We were told that Rio Imports had expirence with sunroofs. We were hoping that they could get the shade closed and it wouldn't be so hot inside the car. Not only did they get it closed, they got the sunroof working again!!! It didn't need new rails, it just needed to be reprogramed!!! They saved us at l east $800.00!!! THANK YOU ROGER!!! It is sooo nice to find an honest technician!!!
I've found many auto repair shops who claim to be BMW/Mercedes Benz aficionado's, the vast majority have no clue as to the requirements of these vehicles. A friend recommended Rio automotive and Roger has been a godsend. I would not hesitate to recommend Rio automotive and Roger for ALL your automotive needs. NOT only German imports but ALL your automotive needs. Roger has gone above and beyond to help and explain in detail any repair I've brought to Rio.
I took my VW Passatt to Rio repair and Roger did a phenomenal job!
He has great communication, customer service, and does the job as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
My whole family takes our cars to him and we will continue to do so. Thanks again Roger!
My family and I came down to FL to visit for the holidays. On the way down we were having some issues with our Tahoe. Once we got into Clearwater we searched for a shop and found Rio. We spoke to Roger and he was able to diagnose that we needed a new transmission. He was able to track a new one down and was able to sneak us in before they closed the shop for the holidays! We are so thankful because he was able to save us from having to get a rental and flights back home until the truck was ready.
We highly recommend Rio Imports to anyone that is in need of repairs on their vehicle!!!
My 2015 F150 platinum was in need of some repairs and the dealership quoted $5600. I did not feel I needed that extensive type of repair or cost.
Roger at Rio imports repair was recommended to me by a good friend. I was not disappointed as Roger fixed what needed to be fixed and told me why the other parts were not needed. Truck runs great at a fraction of the cost.
Roger at Rio have been in business many years. Very honest and accurate repair shop. If you have any questions about the repair estimate you’ve received from somewhere else go see Roger.
Two thumbs up!
After getting a $2300 estimate from a Mercedes dealership, I was compelled to get another estimate. This is what led me to RIO imports Repair.
Roger answered the phone on my first call and he got me in the next day and out that same day. Only an hours labor!
5-stars, no way, impossible. But, after my experience - it is WELL deserved. Thank you RIO, I am very grateful!
Roger is great and a great continuation of his late father. He did a great job servicing my Bentley which I bought from a gentleman who happened by chance to also use Rio Imports Repair for years and spoke very highly of them not knowing that I had used their services in the past. A testament to of their commitment to continuous good service.
Roger always gets the job done. With my families multiple accidents, Roger made the cars look like brand new within weeks. Will drive from Boca Raton to Clearwater anytime for his work and staff!
Roger and his team always do great work. I brought my car in for normal maintenance and he was very upfront with my options.
Roger does not try to talk you into doing more than needs to be done. It is great having a resource who provides great service with complete integrity. I recommend Roger and the RIO Imports Repairs team to anyone.
