What we do
Car servicing and mechanical repairs in Bairnsdale.
The everyday work that keeps a car on the road, plus the jobs that can't wait. Not sure which one you need? Ring us, tell us what it's doing, and we'll work it out from there.
Brakes, pads and discs
If your pads are worn or something's grinding when you pull up, don't sit on it. Call us and we'll get it looked at.
Clutch replacement
No clutch is no fun, especially a long way from home. We'll order the parts in and get the job done.

We're an authorised distributor for Fulcrum Suspension Specialists. Ask us about Fulcrum suspension for your car.
Something else going on?
A noise, a light on the dash, or it just doesn't feel right. Give us a ring and describe it, and we'll tell you whether to bring it in.

Reviews
What our customers say.
“Found myself in a predicament with no clutch while being 10+ hours away from home and no mechanic I called was willing to help/ too busy to help. Was recommended to call Rivera auto. Spoke with Matt the owner and he told me he could order the parts in and fix it by tomorrow. Very reasonable pricing and quick service, friendly staff. Got us back on the road in one day with clear communication along the way. Would 100% recommend this business to anyone in need.”
“…I called this place first and Matt answered. From the first call to arriving he was totally fantastic. He pushed me in to get me back home. His price for a pushed in emergency job was totally less than I expected…”
“Great service, & reliable. Matt went out of his way to help us with our broken down car & get us going again!! Thank you so much.”
“Amazing service! Thank you Matt. What a lovely guy. You could really see the care given to the service and making sure the job was done right. Can't recommend enough”
“We spent family holiday near Bairnsdale and unfortunately our car had battery problem. Lucky we found Matt on the way just before the battery ran out! Unlike other doggy mechanics, Matt is so professional and kind as well!…”

Who you're dealing with

Riviera Automotive has been a Bairnsdale workshop name since 2008. These days it's Matt's shop, run through his company MRG Mechanical, and he's usually the one who answers when you ring.
We look after locals' cars week in, week out, and we get our share of people who've broken down on the way through East Gippsland. Either way the job's the same: work out what's wrong, tell you straight, and get you moving again.
