COVID-19 Update

At RIVA Racing, Safety & Wellness, Along with Excellent Customer Service, Are Long-Standing Core Culture Values.

Keeping Essential People Moving

As communities continue to be impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19), RIVA Racing wants to share with you some of the steps we are taking to protect the health and safety of our customers and our RIVA Racing team members, which is always our top priority. RIVA Racing is an essential supplier to the communities we serve, as a key resource provider ensuring consistent and effective transportation for meeting the needs of everyday customers.

The Department of Homeland Security has designated repair facilities and parts suppliers as critical infrastructure industries, which serves as a guideline for local and state governments as they establish requirements within their own communities to balance safety and wellness with the critical need to ensure essential businesses and individuals have access to repairs, parts, and supplies as needed.

These government orders within your area may temporarily change the way you are able to shop for parts and supplies, but RIVA Racing remains committed to doing everything we can to safely provide you excellent customer service, as we all face the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 virus. You will find additional detail below about how we will strive to provide you the critical parts you need in the safest way possible, whether through a modified in-store buying experience, online at rivaracing.com, or a combination of both through curbside service.

In our continued pursuit to provide for the health and safety of our customers and team members, RIVA Racing has taken extensive actions based upon the evolving information and recommendations concerning transmission of COVID-19 issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other public agencies.

Protecting Our Valued Customers and Team Members from the Spread of COVID-19

Heightened Cleaning Throughout Our Facilities

We continue to provide increased housekeeping and sanitation efforts, company-wide, to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19 to our team and our customers. Regularly scheduled protocols have been implemented for team members in our distribution centers, delivery vehicles, and stores to clean and disinfect common use areas and frequent-contact surfaces, such as door handles, countertops, keypads, and shopping baskets. Additional supplemental cleaning and sanitation is performed, where warranted, through a combination of internal and external professional resources.

Hand Washing Protocols & Hand Sanitizer

We continue to place a strong emphasis on frequent and thorough hand-washing and hand sanitization practices for our team members, and have sanitizer available for customers at our welcome center as they enter the store.

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

We continue to follow the evolving guidance from the CDC and your local regulatory and health agencies for the use of PPE. Per CDC recommendations, we require all team members to wear face masks unless they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and even our fully vaccinated team members will gladly wear face masks during your visit upon your request. We also recommend that our customers wear masks and we strongly encourage and appreciate their use in all of our stores by anyone who has not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Modified In-Store Experience

We value the interaction we have on a daily basis with our customers, and have built our business on excellent customer service. However, we have modified how we do business to protect our customers and team members through social distancing by staying six feet apart. When you visit our stores, you will find we have provided signage to ensure that our team members, you, and other customers are aware of CDC guidance for social distancing, as well as any additional local government mandates. As added reminders, you will find counter markers, floor markers, and more in-store signage to facilitate maintaining the recommended distance while still providing the parts and service you need.

Team Member Wellness & Support

RIVA Racing team members and outside service providers are required to complete entry screening, including symptom, external exposure, and temperature assessments. We ask that our customers respect our team members and other customers by not entering the store if they have been exposed to COVID or are symptomatic. Alternative shopping options are outlined below.

Curbside Pickup of Online Orders

We are now offering curbside pickup for Buy Online Pick Up In-Store orders, allowing customers to make their purchase online (rivaracing.com) and call the store when they arrive curbside. Our team members will locate your purchase and bring it to your vehicle where it can be placed directly into your back seat, trunk, or cargo area to prevent you from having to handle the products or leave your vehicle. Just click, call, and drive – it couldn’t be simpler. We also have alternate options for customers who are not able to enter the store but are in need of parts.

Shipping is also an option for those customers who do not wish to visit one of our stores to limit exposure, allowing you to receive your orders the next day in many cases.

Our Promise to You:

RIVA Racing deeply cares about the well-being of our customers and team members, and at the core of our commitment to you is, Excellent Customer Service.

We will continue to monitor the situation and the recommendations of the CDC and state and local authorities, and adjust the actions we take to help limit the spread of this virus and protect our valued customers and team members during this challenging time. If you have comments or questions about our efforts relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, please refer to the Customer Support for additional ways to contact us.
