"Super solid service. Rich tells you what's wrong with the car but doesn't do a hard sell which I like. Easy to make appointments, complimentary drop off and pick up, a nice lobby to wait in. Plus the Office Manager Heidi is really nice! Exactly what I want from my mechanic."

Why People from Northridge Trust RM Automotive


People from Northridge trust RM Automotive because we have more than 25 years of experience in the area, and 4.7 stars on Google across 876 reviews.

  • Local knowledge. Driving here means steep canyon roads and stop-and-go traffic on the 405 and 118, which wears brake pads faster than expected, and Valley heat that ages batteries, coolant, and brake fluid early. Our technicians know these patterns and the symptoms that come with them, from squealing or grinding when you brake to steering wheel vibrations, rough idling, a check engine light, or starting problems.
  • Credentials and warranty. Our shop has ASE-certified technicians, AAA approval, an ASCCA membership, and a nationwide PAC warranty honored at thousands of locations across North America. Our own repairs carry a lifetime parts and labor warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.
  • Amenities. Complimentary loaner cars on site and a shuttle, so you are not stuck waiting while your car is in the shop, plus free parking, online booking, and a comfortable waiting room with free coffee and refreshments.
  • Availability. Most routine jobs are done the same day, and we take walk-ins for check engine lights, batteries, brakes, and anything that prevents you from driving safely.

How RM Automotive Does Vehicle Inspections and Repairs


Our ASE-certified technicians first check your car's components, compare them against the manufacturer's specs, and photograph what they find. Everything they find goes into a full report on your vehicle's condition, with repairs and maintenance recommendations:

  • Digital vehicle inspection. Our ASE-certified technicians measure and check components: brake pads and rotors, spark plugs, serpentine belt, fluid levels, alternator, hoses, suspension parts, and battery health. The inspection also includes checking symptoms, whether it’s a noise, a dashboard warning light, a smell, or steering problems. Every issue gets photographed, so you see the concerns the technician finds.
  • Written estimate. Everything we find goes to a report that shows urgent repairs, which need immediate attention, and repairs that can safely wait for future visits, each priced separately. You get the repair recommendations and price in writing before any work begins, and nothing starts until you approve it.
  • Service record on file. Your inspection with all the problems and maintenance recommendations stays in your car's service history with us. So, on the next visit, our technicians compare progress and show you how your car is wearing over time.
  • The repair. Once you approve the work, our technicians use genuine factory parts or manufacturer-recommended parts for your vehicle. We do not cut corners on the parts, fluids, or components that go into your car, and the work is backed by our lifetime parts and labor warranty. The repair happens with constant communication to update you about the service’s progress.
