Vehicle inspection. Our ASE-certified technicians check the systems that wear: brake pads and rotors, tires, shocks and struts, fluid levels, belts and hoses, engine, battery and charging, and the cooling system. Everything goes into a report, including parts measurements, pictures taken by technicians, and full maintenance recommendations.
Symptom check. Our team will check for symptoms of vehicle problems, including sounds like squealing or grinding when braking, a steering wheel vibration, rough idling, a check engine light, hard starting, or odd smells. Our technicians record every symptom and diagnose what is causing it, which will be included in the free inspection.
Written estimate. The report separates urgent repairs from work that can safely wait, each priced separately, with the reason for the recommendation. Nothing starts until you approve it.
The repair. We focus on using quality parts, including OEM and manufacturer-recommended components. The service at RM Automotive is backed by a nationwide PAC warranty and our own lifetime parts and labor warranty. Our team will send constant updates about the repair’s progress.

Our full range of services stretches from brake repair, oil and fluid service, suspension, and check engine diagnostics to wheel alignments, battery replacement, transmission service, cooling system service, smog checks, and factory scheduled maintenance.

Why People from Reseda Trust Us for Auto Repair

Local knowledge. Reseda drivers deal with stop-and-go on the 405 and 118 that wears brake pads early. Additionally, the San Fernando Valley heat ages brake fluid, coolant, and batteries faster than expected. The road conditions and steep Topanga Canyon roads also cause extra stress to tires, brakes, and suspension components. Our technicians check brake and fluid condition at every visit because of local demands.
Specialized technicians. Our technicians specialize in Japanese vehicles and have serviced thousands of Hondas, Toyotas, Acuras, and Lexus models from Reseda. They are also experienced with domestic and European makes, and they know the wear patterns that local driving leaves on all of them.
