About Us

River City Repair is a family run business that has been serving the community since 2016. We started out as a tiny one man show, working from home and utilizing a service van Mark had put together. We started with literally nothing. So watching our dreams and hard work flourish has been pretty amazing. Mark has been a very well established mechanic since 1992, he is very knowledgeable and quick with his work. We are honest and kind, we treat our customers like family. Because to us you are. We are very proud of the business we have built and stand behind any work that we do.  We have a beautiful daughter and she is a great help and loves learning about everything we do here! A big thank you to everyone who has stood by us and supported our business throughout the years. We appreciate you so much! And thank you to all the future customers for trusting us and giving us a chance!

I highly recommend Mark Cate the owner of River City Repair. We have known and used him as our mechanic for many years. We were very sad he left the Las Vegas area. But he is so good that he will FaceTime and go over repairs with my husband to diagnose a problem on his truck, since we are in a different state now. He is very up front and honest about your repairs. Has been a mobile mechanic for sometime and now has the shop to take care of ALL your needs. Would HIGHLY recommend him and his company any day of the week.

Mark is an amazing mechanic. He has always made time when I had an emergency with my car, was completely transparent on the costs, and had me up and going in no time. He always checks up to make sure things are running smoothly with my vehicle. Tana is always welcoming and friendly when I've had my car worked on. I'll never go anywhere else for all my vehicle repairs and upgrades. River City Repair is a family owned and operated business and always goes the extra mile to make my repairs quick and affordable!

Tana reached out to me when she saw my post about needing quick help with a car repair I needed. I was quoted way more money to fix it from another shop and she told me they would take care of me and get it figured out. not only did they squeeze me in the next day they fixed what I was initially told to be a huge issue and turned out it wasn't anything big at all. within an hour my car was right as rain and as a single mom who just got a new job this was huge for me to not only save the money but be safe driving my car too and from work. her husband went above and beyond to make sure I was safe to get back on the road with a reliable car and bonus he helped me figure out why my windshield wiper was acting crazy! I will never go anywhere else for car help and I'm so glad i found these guys

Remembered a good quality job I had done here about four years ago, so I came in earlier this week for some new work on short notice.. Was provided a vehicle to use in the meanwhile, a quick appointment, and was surprised to learn that my vehicle did not need as much as I was afraid of. Splendid, timely and affordable work as always, would recommend.
