I had my car completely redone at his shop. They basically lowered the car and put in new suspension new wheels new tires. The handling is dramatically improved and I haven't had any real issues read more

I was frustrated with a part order for springs from a company located at SoCal that it was almost 2 months. I've met Rishie from a Tesla meet up prior to realizing he owns a shop. Fast forward to today,after my installation appointment , almost a month worth of time driving my Model 3... I absolutely love the comfort that it gives while on the road. Rishie gave me a good explanation about Eibach springs and there was no disappointment from my end. Now I'm going for a second appointment this October to get more work done by him and his staff, looking forward to it! Will update this review after my second visit! read more

I want to thank Rishie and his team for taking the best care of my new 2025 Tesla Model Y Performance. I ordered H&R lowering springs, MPP rear camber arms, wheel spacers, and alignment. My car looks fantastic. My drive home is 1.5 hours away and the car performed flawlessly. No vibrations and no rubbing of the tires. I appreciate Rishie's professional knowledge about spacers and which sizes to use for a proper fitment. I will be using AutoRnD for my future auto modification needs. Stephen Underwood read more

Rishie is a true professional. He was very responsive to my inquiries as I was looking to get my crappy Model Y suspension right. He made some suggestions that fit my needs and completely transformed the way my MYP rides. If you're looking for a shop that provides top notch service, contact Rishie and he'll get you right. He goes out of his way for his customers, very knowledgeable and cracks jokes! I appreciate the flexibility on scheduling considering his shop is always busy. read more

I first met Rishie and his team at an EV meet at Sonoma Raceway and they were very helpful with things I could consider doing with my Tesla Model 3. He had recommended I should come in to the shop to get the suspension bushings checked because I had mentioned hearing a knocking noise when going over bumps. Meanwhile I followed ZEVCentric on IG and Youtube so I could learn more about the options for my Model 3. Fast forward about 8 months later and I happen to see Rishie at a Tesla meetup. He remembered me so we talk some more about the options I could consider but he also reminded me about getting the suspension bushings checked. I went ahead and scheduled an appointment in their shop in Fremont to get Tein Enduro Plus shocks/struts installed and to have the bushings checked and replaced. Just drove home and all I can say is WOW, what a difference. My model 3 rides more comfortably now yet steering is more responsive to input. Strangely, acceleration even feels more responsive but it may be due to my old OEM suspension being worn out. These are the guys to go to for your Tesla suspension needs! They have a pretty sophisticated alignment system so I may even bring my MINI Cooper track car to tweak the alignment. Thanks Rishie! read more

Rishie and his team put an upgraded suspension on my Tesla Model Y. The price beat out my local shop by a good $500 so I happily took my Y down for an install of Mountain Pass Performance coil overs. Rishie was great -- easy to communicate with, clearly passionate about his trade and super knowledgeable and experienced. They put the new suspension on really quickly and the car rides way smoother now. Highly recommended for anyone with this vehicle dissatisfied with the stock suspension. Main thing for me is all the "jitters" are gone. It now rides like a luxury car at its price range should. read more

Don't worry, whatever problems or questions you have, Rishie at AutoRND, will likely be able to get you sorted out with great ease and comfort. I had no idea what kind of rims and tires to go for when it came to aftermarket wheels so he took time to explain everything to me in a manner that anyone could understand. His work is superb and guaranteed quality. I definitely will recommend AutoRND to anyone for auto related services and projects. read more

AutoRnD - New Enkei wheels that Rishie set me up with - Tires Near Me - Fremont, California

So this place popped up as an authorized dealer for an exhaust that I wanted parts for. The person answered the phone sounded like he was in a hurry. Why answer the phone then? Then every question I had about what I needed just directed me to call the manufacturer themselves. WTH, I thought that's what an authorized dealer is supposed to do? What a joke. read more

Go here! My new Tesla shop for wheels tires suspension alignment etc... very nice guys who know their stuff.

I had been searching for a place to get my car lowered (2017 Subaru STI) for a while, after doing tons of research I knew that no other place could take care of me the way Rishie (owner of RnD) did. He was extremely helpful in finding exactly what I needed and wanted. Going in, I thought I knew all that I needed for my project but he was able to help me prevent common drawbacks by recommending parts that would help me maintain and improve the functionality of my car. If you are going to price shop and cut corners, this is NOT the place for you. But if you want an A1 quality job from someone with decades of experience modifying and tuning cars, Rishie is your guy! read more

Best shop for wheels, suspension installation and wheel alignment, also Rishie is an all around solid guy too. First of all, not a lot of shops like to have outside parts brought in, so you're in luck as Rishie is ok with this. Due to positive reviews on Yelp and it's all true, I contacted Rishie and after several email exchanges, scheduled installation service for Tanabe coilovers and SPL parts cambers (upper front and lower rears), with alignment. A few years later, decided to change out Vertini Fairlady wheels for Enkei RS05RR, and had a great deal from Rishie on these that I couldn't pass up. He also recommended to order tires from Discount Tires and have them dropped shipped to RnD Auto, again glad his shop allows this, it's great cost savings! Overall, a great experience as a new and as a returning customer. Contact Rishie and schedule appointments, you'll have a great encounter and a trust worthy shop to use. read more

Called for alignment questions, was able to get my alignment done the same day on my 2011 wrx, much appreciated AutoRnB! Would highly recommend this ship, and will be going back when I need to get re-aligned. Owner is real good dude, professional and at the same time chill. He's know his stuff, and explained it real good for my caster and camber. Subaru's that need alignment, and they're low car friendly go here! Enough said. read more

AutoRnD - 2011 wrx getting that alignment - Tires Near Me - Fremont, California

My experience with AutoRnD was complete professionalism and great tuning. I have a Scion FRS and enlisted Rishie and Mike's help to install my new coilovers and do an alignment. I got there at 8:30 am, and shortly thereafter Mike prepped the car on the lift so everything was ready for my consultation with Rishie. Rishie definitely knows his stuff and took the time to ask me about how I drive my car and what my goals for it are. I was debating how much to lower the car, and finally decided on a 1'' drop now so I can get used to any bumps where I drive now and still be able to track the car, and once I get wheels and rear lower control arms then re-evaluate the suspension. I came to pick up the car at 4:30 pm the same day and Rishie gave me the run-down of the values he thought were best suited for my FRS. Front: -.2 degree camber (slightly out), -.01 degree toe (slightly toe out) Rear: -2.0 degree camber (out), 0.11 degree toe (slightly in) By lowering the car and using the stock control arms, the rear gravitated to -2.0 degree camber (for better cornering), so Rishie compensated by giving me positive toe to decrease oversteer and the tendency for the rear to fishtail on the stock tires. For the front, Rishie adjusted for slightly negative camber and toe to improve the turn-in and make the car more responsive. My Ksport coilovers have a spring rate of 7.5k front and 6.3k rear, and the stock values differ on the branding (Toyota 86 vs BRZ vs FRS), which are 2.3k front and 3.8k rear for the Scion FRS. Due to the stiffer springs with 36 levels of dampening adjustments, Rishie tuned them to 10 clicks softer from the midpoint, so they still feel comfortable for daily driving. Did I mention he's a big fan of GT86's and tunes his own! So he definitely understands the platform. Before handing me the keys, he did a lap around the parking lot to make sure there were no noises or areas of concern. I walked away a happy customer and will definitely go to them when it's time to do wheels and rear lower control arms. read more

AutoRnD - Installed Ksport coilovers at AutoRnD with a 1 inch drop; Before and After - Tires Near Me - Fremont, California

Rishie is amazing! He's extremely knowledgeable about Teslas, clearly communicated about everything he was doing with my car, and went to great lengths to squeeze me in and get the job done. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. read more

There's no reason to go to anywhere else but here. Whether you want a full blown race car, a slammed show car, a comfortable daily or anything in between, Rishie is an expert on it. He takes his time to understand your exact needs and pulls from his extensive experience to curate a perfect selection of components. Prices are unbeatable for the service and advice you get. I got wheels, coilovers, and a variety of other suspension components here and they all worked together perfectly. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

AutoRnD - Subaru WRX with Weddsport TC 105X and Tein Flex Z suspension - Tires Near Me - Fremont, California

This review is way overdue but my experience here was awesome and amazing. i ordered some rims and tires online (tire rack) for my WRX but I wanted them balanced and installed locally at the same place to make sure all was good. These guys came up on the site as a performance shop one of the few they had and I took a flyer on them. They were super helpful and accommodating as I was1) Late to the appointment 2), didn't have the tool for my rims, (which they called a shop down the road and ordered for me and the guy walked it over) and 3) unpacked my car to fit my old tires in the ride when I left. Basically I was a hot mess and they were super cool with everything and were great to talk too and hang out with during the whole process. HIGHLY recommend them, give your local shop a shot, they will make it work for you and treat you well. read more

If you came to this page to decide if this is the shop for you, let me ask you. Do you want your car set up to its fullest potential? Yes? Then AutoRnd is the place. I initially came to AutoRnd for a Stance damper clicker, but came out with my car feeling like it had never felt before in my 6 years of owning, Rishie diagnosed all of my suspension issues within just 2-3 hours of talking with me and fixed them completely after 2 more hours of working on it. My small issues included uneven front caster, uneven preload, -3 degrees rear camber, rear toe limitations, natural drift when driving. It was surprising how all of these small problems add up. Most was all caused by misinformation, needing new parts and previous tire shops not aligning correctly. Rishie was considerate, knowledgable, funny, high quality and a great guy to talk with. He taught me a lot about suspension geometry, proper alignment and how the car should feel in corners. While working on my car, Rishie and Mike were both really cool guys. They knew what they were doing and seemed like they were working as a team. They walked me through each and every step. They updated me on what they found wrong, and informed me why, as well as how they were correcting it. Rishie genuinely cared about me and my car. He made sure I left his shop with the highest quality workmanship. My car now feels amazing going straight, and going around corners. Car no longer drifts naturally to the right, feels consistent and composed mid corner, like the car wants to naturally turn, and a lot more safe. Needless to say, my mpg has gone down since Rishie worked on it, and its not because of anything wrong with the car ;). read more

Auto RnD is like the Panerai of the watch world, people may have never heard of it; those people probably didn't know that Panerai uses to have Rolex movements either. It may not be the shop with the biggest glitz or glam, it's tucked away in a corner and doesn't have a huge sign that says "Yes!! We are the go-to place for slammed cars" but when was the last time you saw a Ferrari commercial on tv? If you know, then you know.. This is the standard and anything else is uncivilized. Auto RnD has been around for a long time, I've heard stories about this place; there are guys that have been to SEMA for 20 plus years that tell me that this is the BEST and ONLY shop they go to for ANYTHING SUSPENSION RELATED. So when I personally installed new control arms/bushings, tie rod, stabilizer link and even got new tires on top of that, I the had chance to bring my E30 in. Reshi not only took care of everything, but he gave me the piece of mind of know that if I drive back to San Francisco and things don't feel right; he would fix it the next day. We as auto/motorsport enthusiast spend a lot of money on our cars, but if the car doesn't drive RIGHT and SAFE.. then why drive it at all? read more

AutoRnD - The shop car is actually drivable, that's how you know this guy actually cares about driving/safety.. - Tires Near Me - Fremont, California

TLDR: AutoRnD is now my go-to for tires because they know what they're talking about and take care of their customers -- Rishie is the best guy to get your tires from. He really knows what he's talking about. When I got a flat and needed my front two tires replaced, Rishie definitely showed that he would get me the best tires for the best price; he did a ton of research on what he thought would be the best fit for my car model and the amount I drive. I bought 4 amazing tires from him with an alignment for the same price as BMW charged me for just 2 tires. The drive on the car feels noticeably smoother with just new front tires & I can't wait until he can change out my rear tires :) read more

I originally scheduled my appointment for an all-wheel alignment and received a great experience throughout the entire process. Rishie who is probably one of the most informative guys I know, found out the previous aligners had messed up and the tie rod ends weren't torqued to spec as well as a other nuances that were not good. He makes sure everything is perfect and inspects almost everything to ensure your vehicle is how it should be. The alignment specs were exactly what I wanted and Rishie was also able to fix the front caster without any caster adjustability on the car! Goes to show he knows what he's doing. Oh and I also ended up leaving with new wheels and tires since mine were going bad. It looks like I found my new wheel alignment, tire and wheels place! read more

AutoRnD - NT03'S on new Pilot SS's. - Tires Near Me - Fremont, California

I highly recommend AutoRND for your tires and alignment needs. I went here for an alignment after getting suspension work for my Audi s5. Long story short, my tires had been wearing unevenly, but Rishie has made to adjustments to make my car running better and better. I was just here last month and got Michelin Pilot Super sport tires installed at AutoRND. Their work is top notch, the new tires are great, and now my car is handling better than ever. I live in San Francisco and come all the way to Fremont because Mike and Richie are true honest professionals. They always go the extra mile to educate you on the best options for you, rather than try to upsell you. AutoRND has earned my business! read more

I met RISHIE during my search for an aftermarket wheels/tires...he is a STRAIGHT UP GUY!!! He deliberately gave me all the choices/options/tips/info's that you can imagine when buying your first wheel or your dream wheels! Rishie will go above & beyond to accommodate your desire. If you're not ready to buy rims/tires yet please do not waste both your time. I know its not cheap but it is a major upgrade to your car plus Rishie will give you the BEST Competitive price that you won't get from any other vendor! I kidd you not! Go ahead and send him an email if you have questions or concerns he will get back to you as soon as he can! read more

I recently installed a new set of struts and springs on my RX8. I made the mistake of going to a typical alignment shop that was rated high but is a quick in out kind of place. The car has not driven right since. I was recommended to Rishie and told he can't do a bad job, its not in his nature. Well, that is very true. He not only involved me in the set up so that I was confident in the job he was proud of his work and walked me through exactly how the car would respond and why he set it up that way. That in my opinion is the mark of a master mechanic and someone that enjoys what they do. After driving home the car did everything he said it would exactly. Its very impressive. Rishie and his staff are extremely professional but not to a point of alienation. they don't just take your car and sit you off to the side. They made sure I knew exactly what was going on and made sure I approved of everything before the car touched the ground which I find lacking in most shops, and the shops that do let you in on what they are doing usually are too relaxed and not very thorough, This shop has a perfect balance in my opinion. I was also given some tips on how to upgrade the car later on but not in a up-sell kind of way. I will be back at AutoRnD in the future. read more

I called up Rishie because my buddy referred me to him. He's the owner at AutoRND. Not only does this guy know his stuff, but he's insanely helpful and friendly. We talked cameras for a little while, and other photography stuff, and talked about the plans for my car. He even brought me into the garage to show me their two SEMA cars they had been working on. I ended up buying a set of their AME TM-02 wheels for my soon-to-be flared GM6 (GC8) Subaru Coupe, because AME is one of the only companies that makes wheels in 5x100 in a proper width that clears Brembos. I will DEFINITELY do business with AutoRND again. Call them! read more

While I often read Yelp reviews, I very rarely, if ever, write them, basically only when I feel I have been treated exceptionally well. This review is one of those times. AutoRnD was recommended to me by a friend. I brought in my lowered G35 coupe for an alignment and Rishie was able to get it back into the specs I requested, as well as elongate my toe bolt holes. I'll definitely be back if I need another alignment. Rishie, the owner, is a genuine and honest guy who is very detail oriented. He treated me with respect and was very knowledgeable when it came to the questions I asked him. In a world where everyone is trying to make a quick profit, AutoRnD is a diamond in the rough when it comes to getting things done right. read more

Rishie and Mike at AutoRnD are your go-to guys for anything wheel, tire, suspension and alignment related. But they also do a myriad of other service and offer many products as well. I've been going to these guys for years, and they've always treated my cars with the respect I expect! I usually don't trust others to work on my car, but these guys really know what they're doing. I've brought my 05 Evo, 08 ISF, and my 2012 R8 GT to them. Rishie even spec'd out a custom one-of-a-kind coilover system for my ISF, which rode amazingly well! He took measurements, ran a bunch of numbers, had the product built, and did the installation. One stop shop, what more could you ask for?! Thanks Rishie and AutoRnD for taking such great care of all of my cars. read more

Car sat for 6 months and one of the tires got completely flat because of the cracked sidewall. Contacted AutoRnD, and Rishie asked me what tires I wanted and ordered those for me the same day. The tires got there in a day two, but Rishie suggested I gave it a week for the wheels to cure since I just had those powder coated. Rishie and Mike @AutoRnD are professional, helpful, and detail oriented. Highly recommend this shop if you are looking for new wheel, tire or alignment. read more

AutoRnD - Tires Near Me - Fremont, California

Just to begin with. RISHIE is THE man to go to! Got my car in reno, nv used and from the beginning the car was off on the alignment and no matter what the dumb Reno mechanics would do, the car would still lean to the right. Ir was so bad that i would put my steering wheel straight, the car would change lanes to the right in 2 seconds. (No it's not a new auto lane changing feature..... ) Went to two shops in reno and one blamed it on the tires and one just gave up saying well, we did the best we can!...... So i gave up for around a year and when i moved to the bay, i heard Rishie from Auto RnD was good with Genesis Coupes. So this morning i went to him and VOILA! Done. Car alignment? The best because he IS the best. Drop the mic. Im out. read more

Big thanks to Rishie and Mike over at AutoRnD. I was referred by my friend and I couldn't be happier. I brought my car there to get new wheels and tires put on plus an alignment. Their service was amazing because before we started any work, Rishie made sure all of my suspension was set up correctly before he started alignment which saved time more work in the end. He wants nothing but the best for your vehicle. He's a very knowledgeable guy and I could listen to him talk all day long. It's a 40 minute drive from me but I wouldn't mind driving there and back at all because they're so great. read more

Dope shop. Dope workers. Dope merchandise. Rishie and his boys will take care of you to the fullest. All their equipment is brand new (~24ft alignment rack to get the lowest of low up there) and they have amazing deals. It's conveniently placed right off the freeway and is one of a few shops like this in the tri-city area. The only thing that may scare you is 1 minor speed bump to get to the back. But if you know what you're doing you'll make it back easily. Waiting isn't even that bad as they have wifi as well as a xbox360 to play with. Definitely coming back for all my suspension/wheel needs. read more

Been dealing with AutoRND for over 10 years now and have nothing but good things to say about the company and Rishie. From the Mazda market into the euro stuff I'm doing now they've always been helpful and provided high quality parts at great prices. I would recommend this shop to anyone trying to build a high quality car, and I've heard they're doing alignments and fender rolling now so I don't see any reason to go anywhere else for suspension or wheel and tire work. read more

Got to hand it to Rish, love going to this place to always get my tires. On time, professional and quick about it. Ill always come here for my tires now. read more

I was looking to pickup new tires from TireRack and they listed AutoRND as a local installer. I was about to order some 245/40/18 tires since that's what I had on before. I am so glad I reached out to AutoRND first because the conversations ensued had been very informative. Rishie had been professional and helpful from our very first e-mail exchanges. He was prompt and the fact he owned a FR-S certainly made it easier for him to understand the platform and what's optimal for our cars. I'm very impressed with how everything was handled from answering questions to providing feedback after the installations. I definitely appreciate the straight forwardness and will be willing to come back. Oh, and the fact that the shop is only a mile away from my work is a HUGE plus :) read more

I never like to write bad reviews as I usually just suck it up, however today's experience left me a bit sour. I tried working with Rishie the past month to get my car on the road with my new wheel/tire set up. I figured all the good reviews on here would make the 25 minute drive to his shop worth it but I only found myself disappointed after this last visit. My car, unlike most in the area, has corrosion on the underside due to seeing snow in the past (which I know is a pain to deal with) and after my first alignment with him we found that the front tie rods were seized. He did his best to get my car driving straight until i could get those replaced which i really appreciated. Today I went in to get the toe dialed in and figured I would throw on my old wheels for the alignment (of course not knowing that this would be a problem) and as soon as he looks at the car he starts cursing at me and telling his employees to take my car off the rack and that he's not going to touch it. I would've understood if Rishie approached me about this in a nicer manner however he really treated me as if I should've known and I was not cool with that. His excuse was that he is a perfectionist and likes to do things right, which is good, however his attitude towards me was totally uncalled for. After all of this he ended up "being able to get it close" but the damage was already done. I really would've thought the owner of the company would want to treat his customers right in order to build a lasting relationship with them but I guess that is not the case here. Today will be the last time he has to deal with my rusty bucket. read more

Claims to be a Volk/Ray's Dealer, and that he 'was doing me a favor' by ordering these for me, because minimum order is $1,000.... 6 weeks later my money was returned and he said it was 'too much trouble' to order new valve stems for my GT-7's. Will not be going back. JULY 2013 EDIT-- This guy called my tire shop and berated them because of MY review. Petty? Childish? You decide for yourself before shopping here. I never thought a retail outlet would heckle or harass another business over reviews! SHAME ON YOU, AutoRnD... I really hope you are just having a bad month or something, because this is no way to run a business... Def NOT tuner friendly... SEPTEMBER 2013 EDIT-- He's now blaming my tire shop? For what? They GOT ME THE PART TWO DAYS LATER FROM UPGRADE MOTORING. Real Volk dealer with parts in stock--gee who would've thought... read more

I had ordered a set of AME wheels from a place called Flawless Rides in December of 2010. They promised delivery in 30-90 days. When that came and went I check on my order. They gave excuse after excuse until 7 months had passed. I found Auto RnD because they're AME's North American distributer. I asked them to check into it and it turned out they never ordered my wheels. Rishie from Auto RnD helped me get my money back. And since the wheels I originally ordered were discontinued after I ordered them, he gave me a great deal on a set of Works. Only took a month to get them custom ordered from Japan. They made up for another company's mistake when they didn't have to. I would definitely do business with them again. read more

I recently went to AutoRnD for the first time shopping for some new tires. Rishie helped me decide on a perfect tire for my needs and budget. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He explains everything about a product or service to be done. As for pricing they are very reasonable. My tires with alignment was about $100 less for just tires at other places I shopped at. I am glad to have found this shop and I will definitely be a repeat customer as well as recommend them to friends. Review edited from 5 stars to 3 stars after one more visit and phone call for quote on intalling a Camber kit. Second visit I had an alignment appointment on a Friday. When I showed up Rishi had no idea that I had an appointment . So, I had to wait about two hours to get this alignment done. The long wait was due to him finishing working on a friends car. I was little irked about that. Recently I phoned Rishi to get a quote for an alignment and to install a camber kit. He refused to give me a quote because hes said my car was too difficult to work with to install the kit. What the hell just charge me for labor time that it takes. Don't refuse a customer because their car is difficult to work on. What pissed me off was that he was the one that recommended that I get a camber kit after they last aligned my car and could not get the rear 100% aligned. I have a feeling that they are only knowledgable in a small select few cars. I called AlignTechs to get a quote and they said no problem on installing the kit and gave me a very good quote. read more

Hidden charges everywhere. Called over the phone and got a quote. When I got there, they were going to charge us a whole lot more for using a credit/debit card, charge to ship items to the store and refused to give us a written quote/estimate. Owner was rude. Different prices for CASH purchase? That's just proof that you don't report taxes on all your earnings. That's pure shady and bad business. Also, writing down quotes for customers is as normal as putting prices on restaurant menus. People have the right to shop around or at least know what they are paying for. And oh, Btw, your sales people were not the issue. The owner was the one who made it look bad. read more
