Amazing people and first class mechanics. Don't go anywhere else unless you want low quality mechanical work for too much $$$$$$$. 5 stars Best in the Coachella Valley!! Number one. Yes. They have serviced 4 of our older Vehicles. read more

I had a long extended stay at his garage. But the owner of this place knows how to speak to people. He is respectful and considerate, although I think his prices are very high. We all have to make a living in the end. He was not able to completely align my car because it needs Another part that I have to put off otherwise I would have let the complete repair be done. I have to save up a little bit to get through the holiday and then I can have the alignment bar put into my rear end as it's bent I will return here. read more

I was referred here by a tire company that had broken a bolt. I had such a positive experience with Israel that I came back for a battery replacement and another diagnosis. The mechanics and front office team are great communicators. They promptly return your calls and keep you well informed every step of the way. I feel very confident about their ability to diagnose and work on my X5 BMW and will continue to rely on them rather than the dealer for all my services. I highly recommend Romo's! read more

Have always had the best service here. Hard-working, honest people who get the job done in reasonable amount of time. If you're lucky, TwoFace, the office cat, will come out & say hi. read more

They stand behind their work, repaired my lower ball joint at day 360 of the labor warranty when I discovered a small problem. Israel is very polite and professional with integrity to boot. Quite happy with this shop. read more

I first started going here 4 years ago when they were on Perez Road in Cathedral City. They were THE best mechanics around and I trusted them completely. I cannot say that anymore since they moved to Palm Springs. Their prices have skyrocketed, and their service level has dropped to a disappointing low. Several months ago, my car lost acceleration. Engine started fine, but stepping on the accelerator did nothing. I ran my own diagnostic and had my car towed in. They insisted they run their own diagnostic for $250! It didn't matter I had the diagnostic report in my hand. It was a minor issue that should have cost maybe $100, but I had to fork out the $250 I didn't have. About 2-3 years ago, I had to have the fan blower replaced. Thanks to the warranty I had, it cost me $100 (actual charge was around $225). My blower motor started malfunctioning so I took it back. They wanted $250 to replace a sensor and tried strong-arming me to replace that instead of the blower, regardless if that was the issue or not. AND if it wasn't the sensor, I would still have to pay for it AND the new blower, jacking my cost to over $400! Not happening, and really disappointed they tried selling me a part and service I did not need. I bought my replacement blower from AutoZone, delivered to my house free, found a DIY video on YouTube (OMG so easy!), and will be replacing it myself -- saving $300+ Sorry, Romo, but thanks to your front office staff and being pushed to buy parts and services I did not need, you've lost a customer -- your best customer in 2020-21. I'm going to Performance Plus Automotive from now on ($75 oil change instead of $140 for full synthetic). I am also taking my husband's car there, so Romo's has lost TWO customers. read more

These guys are truly amazing. We had our '09 Range Rover in for sway bar bushings and some front end work. Estimate and invoice were exact same amount.... Turn around was as promised if not faster. It rides like new. Wow. Highly recommended, will never go anywhere else. 6 Stars. read more

Wheel alignment. They did a great job , I'm def going back. They do plenty of other mechanical stuff.

Coming back to Palm Springs our truck brakes were screeching. Hubby took to ford in am. Ford won't work on truck because of the liability! Brakes rusty from age! 2004 duelly with 67,000 miles. Ford, Firestone, unable to work on it. Mike from Ford told me about Romo's near airport! Carlos diagnosed the problem in 2 minutes! He showed me pics, bolt missing from the brake caliber. Took awhile & lots of prayers to find the bolt! They got the bolt and in minutes, I was on my way! Still can't believe he found the problem immediately & Ford totally missed it! We almost gave our truck to Carmax for a bolt! I can't tell you how I appreciate Romo's helping me as a walk in & saving us! The bill was under 150.00 & I was more than happy to pay the bill! I would most definitely recommend Romo's for service! Very kind, helpful, knowledgeable & thorough while having reasonable prices! read more

These guys are legit. I took a car I recently bought in because I thought the reverse gear was broken and they immediately showed me that I was using the wrong gear orientation. Now they could have VERY easily scammed me out of 1000+ dollars for repairs but they ridiculed me for messing up my transmission and sent me on my way ABSOLUTELY FREE! Don't go to a garage that's nice to you, go to a garage that's honest with you! read more

Great service . Check out my car. Gave me a great repair rate. Up & running again Everyone is friendly. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I give it five stars.. read more

Great repair shop. Did my "Service A" on my Mercedes Benz and I saved a ton versus Dealership. Honest people. read more

I finally found someone who actually knows alignments, this shop has mechanics specialized in certain things. I can't get over how much better my 1967 VW bug front end feels, after the alignment. It was hard to find anybody who knew how to do a 1967 VW, or have the adapters for the wheels. This is my new go to shop. You'll not be disappointed. read more

Romo's Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I was referred to Israel by my regular mechanic (also named Israel) for a wheel alignment on my 2006 Dodge wheelchair van. He completed it in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The entire staff was very accomadating to my special needs van configuration, Israel even called my regular mechanic to consult on an issue with emergency brake, which was resolved. Kudo's to Romo's read more

Terrible shop. Stay away. Terrible service. Guy doesn't speak English and receptionist is rude. They kept going back on their word.

NEW ADDRESS: 640 Williams Rd Palm Springs, CA 92264 Took my car to Isrrael Romo many years ago (2006-2007) for alignment and he did a fantastic job AND he adjusted my steering wheel to make sure it was perfectly centered straight in the 12:00 position. This is a peeve of mine when the steering wheel is "off set" or crooked even a tiny amount but Isrrael corrected it and test drove the car about 2-3 times to get it PERFECT! Fast forward to today and I have a 2 year old Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude 4x4 and the steering wheel somehow became "offset" so I took it to Isrrael in his new Palm Springs location. He took me right in without an appointment and after about 45 minutes he fixed my "crooked" steering wheel PERFECTLY and it's exactly how I wanted it! Israel is a very, very nice and easy going guy and a real good person to know. He is very accommodating and reasonably priced! Glad I was able to find him after being out of the area for many years. read more

These guys botched a head gasket job on my last car. They didn't put the timing chain back on the engine correctly and my engine seized while I was driving it to OC and ruined it. They refused to fix the engine, after I paid them almost $1300 fir the job. Their remedy was a refund of $400 and I had to junk my car. Nice guys. DON'T GO HERE TO FIX YOUR CAR!!! read more

We are new in town coming from Prescott, AZ where the roads are pretty bad and car alignments are necessary. Mr Romo bent over backwards to get my son in law's car in today. We were referred by America's Tire, a place we respect and patronize and they just handed my husband Mr Romo's card and said go here. We did. Price was so reasonable I was stunned and the car was in and out within the hour with some expert recommendations as well for how to deal with alignment problems on bad roads. Thank you so much and we will be seeing you with our car soon. read more

Answered my questions. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Did not try to sell me anything I didn't need. I would trust this shop.

I had quite a few things to get done on my Nissan Altima (catalytic converters and motor mounts). Maggie was super communicative and runs that office so well. It's hard to find a good shop with people who are understanding and FAST. They always had my car done QUICK. Thanks for always taking care of my concerns!!! read more

I got 4 new tires put on at America's Tire and in the process they had to snap off a lug nut because it was rusted. They told me to go to Romo's shop to have it replaced. Isrrael ordered the lug nut and I came back the next day to have it installed. He was done so fast I was in shock. They're moving to a new location on Williams Rd in Palm Springs and I plan on going back to his shop for any future repairs I'll need. Thanks so much!!! read more

This whole operation is excellent!! Jose is the best mechanic I've run across in my 40 years of driving. Super knowledgeable guy. I bring all my cars here (BMW, Mercedes, and Chevrolet). They only do what needs to be done. On a "1-10" scale - I'd give "11". read more

Jose and his Dad were excellent. 1st time I was in and Jose knows his BMW inside and out. I am new to Palm Springs area and have had numerous BMW's and have dealt with some 3rd party shops that "said" they knew cars but it was a joke. Jose and Romo's Auto DO!!!! Highly recommended. read more

Everyone hates car problems but this establishment made it so nice. From getting me there when i was lost to excellent promt service. Thank you so much. read more

I heard good things l, theyre good but man theyre just as expensive or even more than dealership.

I have been using Romo's for years and being extremely picky about the work done on my vehicles I highly recommend them for all your vehicles needs. Isrrael is widely known as the best alignment guru in the Valley. He takes his time and dials your vehicle in to perfection, maximizing tire wear and saving you money on tires. I take all my vehicles here and have recommended to all my neighbors and they have all come back with positive feedback from Romo's. They use qual parts that last, do quality work for very reasonable price. From hybrids to lifted vehicles they do BMW and Mercedes too! read more

Great reasonably priced. They were very professional and informative. Thanks for the great alignment. The car drove like it was brand new.

Very difficult to work with, argumentative. First off, they don't answer their phones. Romo doesn't speak English so everything is done through translation. Instead of honoring their warrantee, they try to come up with new issues that the vehicle might have. They let my BMW out of the shop without the proper radiator fluid and a cap. Stay away from this business. read more

Extremely pleasant people to deal with. Very prompt and accommodating, Israael is so very knowledgeable and customer service orientated. I have found my new mechanic shop! read more

Very knowledgeable. Not as popular as Corporate auto repair shops but much more in depth knowledge of automotive repair. I highly recommend this place. read more

Thank you Romo's! My classic Ford truck, (29 years old) was stolen and found within 48 hours by the amazing team at the Palm Springs police department and the sheriff's department in Thermal, CA. Three years later, I am still repairing things that were done incorrectly, not done at all, or are simply wearing out. Master cylinder (first lasted 25 years, second, two years), ignition, water pump, radiator, door handles (damaged during theft), alignment, battery frame... the list is long. Isrreal Romo is now one of my dearest friends. I would do anything for this man, and I know he will help me with any question or problem. His fantastic uncle, Raul, and the entire team at Romo's Auto Corporation are the finest you will ever find! Three years of repeated visits have proven to me their quality, commitment to customer service, and their incredibly fair pricing. I am a disabled senior woman. I am not used to be treated so well. read more

Extremely professional and well priced. This is a hidden gem in the desert. It's family owned and the mechanics are extremely knowledgeable.

I had the alignment done on a my Dad's one owner 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Coupe by Issrael Romo, he was very thorough and meticulous, he took his time to check all suspension educated me on all the questions I wanted answered and the cost was very reasonable. I will be taking my Suburban and Corvette to him in the future. read more

AMAZING SERVICE!! I cannot stress enough how pleased I am with the honesty, integrity and communication of Isreal and his team. My daughter was traveling from Arizona to California and experienced an issue with her car. As a father I my anxiety was through the roof. I found Room's Auto after a quick Google search and reached out to Isreal. They were booked solid, but understood my daughters predicament and immediately made time is their schedule to help us out. They were incredible to deal with on the phone and I knew that my daughter was in good hands. Both my daughter and her friend let me know that the staff was so friendly and communicated exactly what was wrong and needed to be fixed. I am thankful for the these honest and hard working individuals who went above and beyond to turn a horrible situation into a very positive experience. read more

I found Romo after searching for an alternative to the Chrysler dealership for repairs to my Jeep. Chrysler wanted to charge me more than $2k for repairs and Romo did it for half that! Even though the repair was complicated and took much longer than he anticipated, he still honored his original quote. So grateful to have saved so much money and gotten great work done so I wanted to ensure it was recognized as a good and honest mechanic is always hard to find. read more

I had a truly positive experience with Israel and his staff at Romo Auto. Israel's price for replacing the struts on my older Lexus was fair -- considerably lower than other places -- and the four-wheel alignment performed seems to have been perfect. I recommend Israel without reservation. read more

Originally went there for an alignment but Isreal went out of his way to diagnose my car. Which I really appreciated, and managed to fix my car issues within a timely manner! read more

I see the negative reviews, but my experience was totally different. Was referred to Israel Romo for an alignment on my Mom's car by a local tire store. Spoke English, and he was very thorough in explaining the computer results and what would be needed and had it fixed in about 1/2 hour and for a very reasonable price-cheaper than other places I had checked. I would definately return read more

They charged me 800 for a days works and when I got home my cars radiator was broke. Don't do business with these people.

Very experienced shop in European vehicles. I own 4 and take them all to Romo. Will never try to sell you something you don't need. Highly recommend! read more
