This shop is not for everyone. If you're looking for a cheap shop, this is not it. If you're looking for a quick job, this is not the shop for you. If you're looking for someone to do the job right, take extra time to help you figure out a strange issue to the best of their ability, and make sure your vehicle is safe before you drive off - this place could be your new favorite shop. I come to Monrovia for custom alignments on a frequent basis to experiment with different adjustments ahead of track days. They do custom alignments, corner balancing, suspension installs and more - just ask, they're a family business so patience is key. I appreciate that they mark all the nuts and bolts they've handled including adjustment arms so from a glance anyone can see if something has moved or has gotten loose. On occasion they have also spotted a loose bolt that was unrelated to the service I asked them to do - they let me know what they found and asked me if I wanted them to tighten up the bolt. They asked first. They are thorough and detailed. They take pride in the services they provide and they are worth every dollar spent and worth the wait when booking an appointment. Their prices are extremely competitive for the unique services they provide. If you find another shop that can do it for cheaper, you're better off going there instead - Monrovia doesn't price match. If you have a bad experience here, it's 100% because you're the asshole.

If you have a drift car you take to the track, this is the place you want to go for your alignments. I've been to multiple shops over the years, and none of them have come close to the service that David provides. He ensures that your car is setup correctly the way you want it, and will answer any questions you have earnestly. As a customer I felt that David wanted to ensure I was satisfied with the car, and made any adjustments, tweeks to get the car dialed in right, or to find the source of an issue. Will definitely be coming back for any of my drift alignment/suspension needs.

David and Fern are the best people to work on my cars. I have been coming to Monrovia Alignment since 2020 to work on my previous car (Subaru WRX STI). I've had multiple alignments, coilover dial-ins, and many sets of tires purchased and installed with them at the best rates. Even to this day, they're the only ones I'll trust with my FL5 Type R. David is very knowledgeable and I trust his word. Great conversations and overall a great experience. Honestly if you had a bad experience, you're probably the one causing it.

Always a pleasure to have David work on my car. Professional and great craftsmanship. Really goes above and beyond to please his customers. Swing by to get your ride dialed in!

David has been incredible since the beginning I met him, customer service is amazing and he's a professional at what he does, I definitely recommend anyone looking for top tier work.

Datsun Z at Monrovia Alignment

Best alignment shop in SoCal. I have brought my Z to David and Team a few times for alignment and rack replacement. David is so detailed and thorough and I would not want anyone else touching my Z but him. I will keep coming to him for my other cars tools in the near future. If you want the best Monrovia Alignment is it!

David and Fern have been taking care of all three of my cars since 2020 and they have not missed a single time. Fern is amazing. She picks up your phone call and after obtaining vehicle and suspension mod info, she gets you booked ASAP. David has always gotten my alignment adjusted to perfection. Cross camber was at most 0.01 degrees, every single time. He does a pre- and post- alignment test drive, but he also lets the customer do a drive loop to ensure that the alignment is satisfactory. The alignments are incredibly fair in pricing, especially when you realize David will reserve a 2-3 hour slot just to focus on your car and dial in the settings. Remember guys, do it once and do it right! It costs more to do a job twice. 1. 2008 Civic Si: Tein springs, Koni Yellow shocks, SPC rear camber arms and front camber bolts. David was able to align my car to my preferred "street aggressive" specs. Car was ridiculously quick and stable in the corners. 2. 2017 Toyota Camry: Stock suspension. I wanted -2.0 degrees camber all around. David had front camber bolts available in-house and was able to get them installed and adjust to my request at a super reasonable price! To this day, my Camry is the most stable example I've ever driven. 3. 1999 C5 Corvette: Stock suspension. Car pulled slight right. I wanted around -1.0 degrees negative camber because the car was used mainly for highway commutes. After doing a post-alignment test drive, the car pulled to either direction occasionally. I talked to David and we tracked the issue down to the Federal all season tires up front as the culprit. He taught me that even tires can cause side-to-side pulling! 4. 1996 Acura NSX: Needed new tires mounted and balanced. The wheels were chrome finish, so I was concerned about potential marring. David was able to get the balance PERFECT with zero damage to the wheel! I've since recommended at least half a dozen friends to David, and every single one has been satisfied with his work and customer service. Thank you, David and Fern! Keep doing amazing work, I'm rooting for you two!

Outstanding service and suspension knowledge and information provided to me. Thanks again David!!

This is what the previous shop left me with that Monrovia had to correct!

Best alignment I've ever received! David was soooo professional, prompt, and a true expert. He communicated with me the entire process showing me what he had to fix from the other shop and asking if I was happy with the final settings. I can't speak highly enough about him saving my tires and dialing my car in! I set my appointment from 6 hours north and it was a highlight of my trip! Thanks soooo much!

Only place I trust with my vehicle! I can count on David to figure out any suspension problems I encounter and to dial in my alignment for all my vehicles. Top notch work! Great prices for a1 alignment you can't get elsewhere.

I bought new Michelin PS4S Tires for my 2020 Subaru STI and many of my car enthusiast friends recommended David from Monrovia Alignment so I figured I give them a shot! Im pretty picky about which shops work on my car and David delivered excellent work! Tires were mount and balanced without a single scratch! Alignment was done to my spec for the canyons. Handles a lot better with the wider tires. Fern was very professional on the appointment set up and having excellent customer service! Definitely going back for sone more future work on my suspension. Thank you Fern and David for the services on my STI!

See all

Mounting aggressive tires on fresh wheels always makes you a little nervous -- especially with a setup like this -- but they handled everything with care and precision. No scratches, clean weights, and the balance is smooth at highway speeds. The alignment is spot on. Truck tracks straight, steering wheel is perfectly centered, and it drives tight without any wander. With Kings on the truck, alignment matters, and they clearly know what they're doing. Professional, detail-oriented, and no shortcuts. If you're running a dialed Tacoma setup and want it done right the first time, this is the place. Will definitely be back.

Purchased two Continental tires for the rear wheels of my BMW 535i…read more Good price and installation was good. My only concern was the wheel balancing for all 4 wheels and the 4 wheel alignment. The free wheel balancing was okay, but the ride was a but bit rough, especially at high speeds. The 4 wheel alignment was also okay because I saw the tech person pull it out of the stall and parked the car. He did not do a test drive. My Bimmer drove okay, but it didn't track. So I wasn't confident that the wheel alignment was properly done. I recently remedied the concerns by having the 4 wheels rebalanced and had a 4 wheel precision alignment done at another shop. Now my Bimmer tracks and rides really smooth... For tires purchase, this place is great.. But for tire services, from my experience, I would recommend to go somewhere else...

So now 15 minutes in and still haven't written it up or asked for my keys. I'm here for a rotation and balance so I don't expect it to take long. I'm on lunch and can't really be here for over an hour. He told me they should be able to get me out by 115. If they can do that , I will be happy. Right now though, I'm not all that happy since it feels like they burned 15 minutes of my time. By 1245 they have called me and measured my tread depth. This is little peeve of mine and it reminds me of a bigger one. No longer am I given the piece of paper that tells me what my tread depth was. What is the point then? If my tires are wearing unevenly, it would be nice to know about it and even better to know which tire. One of them was less than the others. Wearing faster. No idea which one and the receipt is worthless as it doesn't have that info. My bigger peeve is that when I had the tires installed I asked if they could tell me how much brake pad was left. Actually my girl was with the car and I asked her to ask them. She said they told her they can't do that. When I got there she and another customer told me it was due to liability. Now I didn't ask for them to make a judgement call on whether or not the brakes were good or bad or could go X miles. I just literally wanted a estimate measurement. The other customer coukdnt understand why I didn't want to accept the liability excuse and made sweeping statements about the trouble they could in. Let me make this part crystal clear for the sites and for the corporate lawyers. Ask yourself how much money you'll be liable for the day you refuse to tell a customer his brake pads were looking pretty slim, or let's say a couple mm left, and that person ends up dead or killing someone else 3 days later due to not stopping in time or some type of brake failure? They will sue and they will win stating that any reasonable technician would have recognized how dangerously worn the brake pads were and you refused to inform the customer, whether or not it's your business. So if that's policy to not say anything, I'd really rethink that. Seems like the liability is with not telling them. You tell them, you've done what would be reasonable. You refuse and you are opening yourself up to be cast as the next bad guy in court. So easily.They will crucify you. Think about it, corporate lawyer people. That's all I'm going to say on that. My car was done by 115. Guys at this store working in the bays showed a lot of hustle and cooperation. An exemplary crew of technicians. The service writer guys were good once they got to me but they would do well to achnowledge people when they walk in to let them know they are seen and will be helped soon. Can't ask for much better on a free service. Still would be nice to know those tread depths since you took the time to measure and all....

RTMotorworks - Alignment done for this brand new Juniper

I was hoping I just needed brake pads for the front and hopefully not all 4 wheels at the time. They were very responsive and the quote was comparable to other places, if not better. Decided to take it in on a Friday in the morning. Checked my wheels and told me I just needed the front brake pads and rotors replaced. The back was still good. Sigh of relief somewhat. They were able to get the pads and rotors replaced for little under 3 hours. Time went by and they were updating me during the whole time. Great service and team here. 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.

When I checked the dipstick myself, the oil level appeared low and the oil was dark with a burnt smell. I returned the next day to speak with the manager (Luis), who insisted the oil had been changed and showed me what he said was a new oil filter installed by the technician (Torres). However, when I expressed concerns about the oil condition and asked if they could redo the service for customer peace of mind, I was told I would have to pay again. The original manager on duty during the service was Mike. What concerns me most is not just the oil itself, but the lack of transparency and unwillingness to address a customer's concern in a professional way. When basic steps like resetting the maintenance system are missed and the oil appears questionable, it's reasonable for a customer to ask for reassurance. Unfortunately, I did not leave feeling confident that the service was handled properly. Luis refused to redo the service free of charge and at this point I realized that it wasn't doing anything by going back and forth. I would recommend customers going somewhere else.
