Other than an oil change and tire rotation, I wasn't sure what else my car needed, but I felt the engine sounded a bit rough. It only has 75,600 miles and has been carefully maintained over the years. I provided a summary of all prior service since the auto was purchased new in 2013. S&J found a number of issues and explained them to me in terms I could understand. All were related to normal wear and tear, and having them resolved is such a relief. I received a detailed invoice for my records and I feel the entire bill was reasonable for the large amount of work completed. As I drove the car home, I could tell the difference in how smooth and quiet the engine now ran. It purred! I won't hesitate to return in the future for auto maintenance.

I was told by the gentleman at the desk that there were a few appointments ahead of me so it would be a wait which was understandable for a walk in with no prior appointment. I was prepared to leave and come back to pick up my car but the manager came out and spoke to me a bit about why I was there that day and it seems a technician had finished their job ahead of time so they said a tire patch was quick and just handled my case immediately. I was out the door in 30 minutes, and the price hasn't changed in 3 years still $40 bucks for the tire patch. Where do you find service like this with an auto shop, and what business hasn't raised prices in 3 years? I saw a bakery increase cost on the same cake by $6 from April 2025 to Dec 2025, the price gouging is endemic. As I was waiting in the office I overheard another customer mention they were moving, and the employee told them to call from their new location if they had any questions about repairs or history on their car they might need when getting work done by another shop at the new location. That's not an attempt to sell any billable service, that's due diligence and beyond. Highly recommend this place for your auto services, its a clean and efficient operation and run by people who still care about their customers.

Will definitely bring my car back in to get other services done. No issues whatsoever with the new pads and rotors.

PROBLEM: ALIGNMENT ISSUES, CUSTOMER SERVICE, ACCOUNTABILITY…read more When I first tried to leave a review, my account was somehow blocked from posting specifically for RTM, while I could still review other businesses. I contacted Yelp, and by coincidence, the representative I spoke with was also RTM's Yelp rep. He said it was strange that I couldn't post only for RTM. After I explained my situation, he advised me not to leave a review and instead take the matter to small claims court--which I did. During the hearing, the judge seemed to understand my side, but the ruling ultimately favored RTM. Despite being advised not to post this, I'm sharing my experience here because the situation still doesn't sit right with me--especially given Yelp's controversial review practices. On 10/1/25, my rear right adjustable control arm snapped. My car has aftermarket wheels, tires, and suspension components, so a precise alignment is critical to ensure proper fitment without rubbing the fender. I initially went to TM Auto (located across from RTM) for the control arm replacement. After installation, TM took my car to RTM for alignment. I specifically asked them to match the rear right alignment to the rear left, which was set at -2.8 degrees. When I went to pick up my car, I immediately noticed the rear right wheel did not match the rear left. The camber was visibly off. I pointed this out to the technician, but he insisted the alignment was correct and that there were no machine or human errors. After repeated requests, they put the car back on the rack, but instead of rechecking, two additional technicians came out and dismissed my concerns with questionable explanations: "Toyota made the fenders uneven." "Your control arm is made in Taiwan/China--what do you expect?" Despite putting the car back on the rack, they never rechecked the alignment. They simply removed the car and stood by their original claim. With no resolution, I had no choice but to drive the car home. Because the alignment was incorrect, my tires rubbed against the fender the entire way. The next day, I found heat damage, paint cracking, and visible wear on the fender. I came back the next day to talk to Richard (the owner) hoping he would recheck everything, but it was apparent he was "too busy"--despite clearly having time to talk with other customers and then continue working on another car, while ignoring me. I waited outside RTM for over an hour trying to speak with him. When the TM Auto manager asked if he had seen the damage, his response was, "Yeah, so what?"--with no concern at all. After is when I left, and was forced to go to another shop to realign--more driving, more damage done. I used a camber gauge and measured -2.8 degrees on the rear left and -2.0 degrees on the rear right. To confirm, I took the car to my trusted shop, Chewerks in La Habra, where they verified the rear right camber was indeed -2.0 degrees and did not match the left side. Their measurements matched mine exactly. Because RTM refused to recheck or correct their work, this improper alignment caused damage to my car. The rear left side tucks properly, while the rear right sticks out about half an inch, which led directly to the rubbing and damage. I had clear documentation and evidence, but the court still ruled in RTM's favor. I chose not to appeal to avoid spending more time on the matter. A nearby body shop, Cenco Auto Body, quoted over $1,800 to repair the fender (with another shop giving a similar estimate), confirming the extent of the damage. What could have been a simple recheck turned into a costly mistake. Despite everything, RTM did not offer any compensation or attempt to make things right. Seeing RTM's highly rated Yelp profile made their response even more surprising. They're quick to take your money with a smile when things go well, but when issues arise--as in my case--they deny responsibility and make no effort to make things right (In my case, they didn't take money directly, but a receipt was given to TM Auto, and I had to pay TM Auto--which is the same as paying RTM directly). TM Auto went as far as offering RTM to help cover the repair costs, but RTM still refused. TM Auto didn't have to step in for someone else's mistake, yet they still tried--that says everything. Richard (the owner) had my contact information through the small claims process, yet he never made any effort to contact me--even before we went to assigned court date. After what happened, I'm relieved I didn't bring my other cars first--especially since those cars are of higher value. It seems RTM has many satisfied customers, along with a smaller number of unhappy ones. Hopefully, you don't end up in the latter group like me. FWIW: Following the incident, I contacted Hunter to verify when RTM's rack was last calibrated. Abel (rep) advised that its calibration was set to expire later that month. This raises the possibility that their rack may have been out of calibration.

I bought a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Having read about the car, upon taking delivery I…read moreimmediately wanted to install a high-performance Velocity AP brand lightweight flywheel, twin plate clutch, and ECU tune - so I called Velocity AP directly - Without hesitation, they recommended Pasadena Motor Cars, one of the only VAP partners within 250 miles of my house. In short, Pasadena Motor Cars WAY exceeded my expectation- they perfectly installed the flywheel, clutch kit, and did the ECU tune (big job). Further, my car had a check engine light problem that the previous owner's mechanics were not able to fix. Pasadena Motor Cars solved this quickly, carefully diagnosing without randomly replacing parts on a trial-and error-basis like other shops. They identified the exact certain non-OEM parts that were causing the problem and replaced them inexpensively. My car also had a shifting problem and Pasadena Motor Cars took a personal interest in researching the problem, and at their own expense, tried different transmission fluids and replacement parts to find the best combination that significantly improved this factory defect on first-year Vantages (early 2006). They replaced the trans fluid and a few linkage parts at a great value, and in the end greatly improved the stick shifting of the car. Also, my rear bumper insert by the license plate was loose, I was worried it would fall off. Based on the design, to get to the loose bolt, you have to take the bumper off! To my surprise, when I got my car back, it was fixed! They did this for me as a courtesy! Another example of their service: My left front headlight was about ¼" recessed- I asked them if they could just raise it. This turned out to be very significant! The previous owner had been emphatic that there was "no body work or paint work", but in the process of them raising the headlamp back to factory position, Pasadena Motor Cars identified that indeed, there had been bodywork on the front quarter panel ... This is why I would 100% recommend that if you are buying a luxury/high-performance car, you should take it to Pasadena Motor Cars for a pre-purchase inspection. I asked Pasadena Motorcars to do a lot of preventative work, including hood struts, install a fuel injector, replace ignition components, and install high-performance air filters. In conclusion, ALL the work they did was exceptional, and a year later, I have not had 1 single problem with the car, nor any dash light come on - since I picked my car up from them, it runs and sounds like a private jet. To top it off, I was very picky that they do not put any greasy treatments on the interior when they gave it a wash after service- when I picked up the car it was immaculate, and my favorite picture of the car is 3 weeks after their wash! As you can tell, I would not hesitate to recommend Pasadena Motor Cars. Give them the time required to do your car right, and you will be very satisfied. I am not affiliated with VAP or Pasadena Motor Cars in any way, just a happy V8 Vantage owner. Thank you Aaron and Owen -Chris W.
