1999 Toyota Landcruiser
Daniel L.

RPM Garage is the real deal. I especially appreciate Daniel as he worked directly with Dobinsons to get me the right coils for my 100 series Landcruiser's added weight and set me up with their shocks. He also helped me choose a big brake kit, Wildpeak tires, and reminded me about diff breathers I had forgotten. On top of that, he coordinated with Dissent and rushed a spacer install to fix the wobble on my rear swing-out so I could make a camping trip. They also installed my 4.88 gears, a front locker, a better radiator, new SPC UCA ball joints, and even repacked my front wheel bearings. Shoutout to Nathan as well as he has been super helpful coordinating after hours pick up and getting me on my way. Last time I picked up my LC100, I noticed a burnt out brake light and Nathan swapped a new one out for me as I was on my way out. Thanks man! What really stood out was RPM's communication--they always texted me back, even when I was stress-spiraling and double (sometimes triple) texting him like a toxic ex you can't get rid of. He never once made me feel like I was a bother, and even walked me through transfer case gears and a part-time kit for a future upgrade. Knowledgeable, patient, and honest. Couldn't ask for a better shop, and I'm lucky they're only 45 minutes away. Highly recommend.

RPM installed a new alternator and big 3 wire upgrade so I could drive it with confidence to Alabama Hills!

Updated review: I have performed several repairs and upgrades at RPM: 1. Oil and oil filter change 2. Front diff bushing replacement 3. New tires, balanced, and installed 4. New alternator 5. Big 3 Wire Upgrade They have always been extremely honest about scheduling and ensuring that my vehicle has been dropped off and picked up as soon as possible. I once even received a text message from Daniel on a Sunday telling me about the status of my vehicle. They go above and beyond. I wish I could keep them a secret but I really want to give them kudos.

My LX getting worked on.
Matthew L.

They fix my clunk in my LX!!! I originally came in for AHC flush and adjust T bars and I asked them about the clunk. They were able to change out the bushing and now the clunk is gone. Shoutout to Daniel for fitting me in last minute as I am from the bay traveling down there. I've been following them on IG for some time and I'm glad they were able to work on my LX. Totally worth it if you are driving to SoCal for vacation to make a side trip to this place to get some work done. These guys know their stuff.

2" Ironman lift install
Christopher B.

I got my Outback lifted by RPM back in June of this year. I was originally extremely happy with the outcome of the lift and service. I took my car back in for a FREE re-torque inspection about 500 miles post install. The owner recommended I did so. I noticed a "clunk" sound in the rear when I first got my car back but assumed it'd go away after I took it back for the re-torque but unfortunately even after the re-torque the sound was still there but not as much. As of 9/5, I had my brake fluid flushed & a tire rotation done by another mechanic. The mechanic informed me RPM didn't secure my rear sway bar bolts after the installation was done. The mechanic went in and secured the bolts and now that clunk sound is 100% gone. Little bummed RPM didn't catch that simple mistake, even during my re-torque appointment.

Porkchop is the best boi
Ewen C.

These guys were able to help me out on short notice since some screws on my car were rusted over from the time I lived in snowy NY. Also the shop doggo Porkchop was super awesome to hang out with. My roommate took her car here once to get serviced too, and had a great experience. I just wish they were open on the weekends because they seem to do good work, I just am rarely free during the week!

Great shop
Masis Y.

I recently had my brakes done with RPM garage they are amazing . I took my jeep there and they everything to satisfy my expectations. RPM is specialized at Land Crouser but they did a great job on my jeep highly recommended. They are very busy . Try to make an appointment before you go there.

Telluride, CO.

I recently installed new eccentric bolts and rack & pinion which requires an alignment on my 2005 Tundra. I took it to Steve and he was meticulous about getting the alignment adjusted. After a few tweaks, he was happy about it. I reminded him that I had a long drive to hunting grounds (12 hours). He made sure I wouldn't have any issues along the way. Thank you for your genuine service!

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...

Got here at 1215pm fur my 1215pm Appt. After standing at the front desk for 10 minutes someone…read morefinally acknowledged me and asked me to have a seat. 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....

Still my favorite place to go for tires! There are a few places where I enjoy going to, but really…read moredon't want to find myself there too often. This place is one of them. It's been quite awhile since I've been here since I've been driving less and I also purchased a new vehicle, so I haven't had to get any new tires. The management seems to have changed since I didn't see the familiar faces. I have since come here twice in the past two months, unfortunately because I like driving on nails. Parking is a challenge because they're so busy, but I can find parking down the street - it's just a bit of a walk. On my first visit, my tire could not be patched but helped me make an order for the tire with a deposit. I ended up getting it replaced at the dealership because I wanted it done sooner if I could. I informed America's Tire and they refunded me my deposit. On my second visit, my tire could be patched (thankfully!). I was helped quickly and I was in and in 30 minutes. This is the type of service that I have always appreciated. In both cases, I had made an appointment. Shout out to Norman. It was nice seeing you, but I hope I don't have to see you again for another 13,000 miles.

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.
