RTMotorworks- European and import specialist in
Arcadia (CA)

I highly recommend RT Motorworks. as a woman handling maintenance issues on a 10+ year-old vehicle, a trip to the mechanic can be daunting and expensive. Esteban and the team were not only knowledgeable, but honest and respectful. My car was done quickly and at a much lower cost than I was quoted at another shop.

Nice people but don’t expect them to properly fix your car if the diagnostic tools does not tell them what’s wrong with the car.

Richard and his team did a fantastic job! I scheduled an appt to get my MAD midpipe installed on the G80 and the main tech who worked on my car Kenny (I think?) was very skilled and handled the installation like it was his own vehicle. From start to finish I would say it took roughly 2 hours to complete. While I was waiting; his staff worked on plenty of other M cars so they know their BMWs. I was geeked out taking the photo with the G8x family. The price was great and I am ecstatic with the results (pop burb burb pop). This shop has earned my business and loyalty and I will be coming back for future services!

I took my 2019 Tesla Model 3 to RT Motorworks for a suspension replacement about a month ago. Contacting them was really easy. I reached out by text and received a detailed install quote within an hour and was able to schedule an appointment later that week that worked with my schedule. When I got there, Richard walked me through the process and explained exactly what would be done and how long it would take. The work was completed within a few hours, and the difference in how my car drives was immediately noticeable. I’ll definitely be returning to RT Motorworks for future service and am recommending them to family and friends.

I was introduced to Richard many years ago when I had a BMW 528i, I’ve since taken the BMW and my Audi to him for everything, oil, tires, engine trouble. His prices are reasonable and more importantly he knows what he’s doing. Don’t waste your money on the stealerships get your car here.

The staff are very friendly and they respond quickly! I have had a positive experience every time and even one of the men taught me several ways to check my oil and fluids to take care of my car on my own. I have made this my place to take my car for their trustworthy service and fair prices.

Been going here since Richard's dad was the boss. Richard has done a great job picking up the reins. Super reliable.

Car: 1997 BMW 328i Service: Oil Change I have been looking for a new place to service my car since my last places upped their prices to 170 for a basic oil change. I used yelp to send out multiple request for quotes and got many back. After looking at the reviews and comments i choose RTMotorworks. I spoke to Rick and he gave me a very good number for the service, said 1 hour and I was scheduled for the next day. After the less than hour service one of the techs, Kenny, told me the car was ready and answered any questions and concerns i had. Then when i paid i brought up some of the issues and got an estimate in less than a couple minutes. Also, on the way out Kenny noticed my reverse light was out. He replaced it quickly and it was free of charge. After getting home, i checked their work are and it was actually cleaner than when i brought it in. I am a very satisfied customer and recommend their services to anyone. TL:DR These guys provide good, clean quality work at a bargain place in short time and answer any questions you may have. Update: I recently bought a dash cam for my daily car, 2020 Toyota Corolla hybrid. I was asking around for installation prices and I was getting 350 to 450 to install a both front and rear camera. I called these guys up and they gave me a price at almost 1/3 of the cost. This is why I will continue to come back here for service, the honesty and quality of their work.

I had an evaporator issue with my BMW (really common on the G30 chassis) that Esteban and Richard helped me with, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Esteban was excellent on the phone — very professional, clear, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. Richard worked directly on my car, identified the issue, and took care of it with great attention to detail. They both went above and beyond to make what could have been a stressful repair experience much easier. Really grateful for their help and highly recommend this rtmotorworks!

The passenger lock knob on my X3 got pushed inside my door. I brought it to RTM just before closing and they took me in. I waited in my car while one of the mechanics removed the door panel and fixed the lock. He put everything back as if nothing had happened. The prices here are always extremely reasonable too!

This is a very honest shop and no hassle. The workers here will not over charge you. I brought in a vehicle with a broken coolant reservoir cap and the vehicle was overheating. Richard just charged for the reservoir cap and added coolant. The overheating was resolved and I was only charged for the reservoir cap. I really appreciate an honest shop especially in today’s environment. I highly recommend this place.

Richard and his team are great!! They have excellent prices and do excellent work. I’m glad I found them a few years ago and have been coming to them for all my BMW needs. Trust in them and they have full transparency with everything and advise you when things are needed which is important to me.

Excellent work installation of my New Rims and Tires. Also do an alignment. Fair price. Great communication that important to me.

Fast and quick and honest and professional Andrew was the one helped me. My appt was 1pm and I drove an hour from the west side to them because the Yelp reviews. Will most likely come back to them again when my break pad and oil change due.

Very professional group of mechanics, everyone I spoke with at RTM had a very professional attitude and was very clear on the work that was done.. Highly recommend this shop for your automotive needs especially High performance cars, these guys are the "Right Stuff".

Good impression to this shop. Richard was always fast response to all my questions/quotes through Yelp, texts every single time , nice people, clean works, (not like other mechanics that I had bad experiences with). I brought my 07’ Lexus IS250 for AC compressor, condenser, belts, TPMS replacement, they diligently to get the whole job done for me within the same day, big thanks to Richard. Will send my Bimmer to them next.

Took my 4Runner to Richard for routine maintenance and to see if he could fix my front door locks. Richard was very knowledgeable and called me to provide a diagnosis and cost estimate before proceeding with the work. I was impressed he had the parts needed on-hand to fix the door locks. His communication was excellent, he and his team worked efficiently, and their pricing was very fair. He's also an honest guy. Looked at my brake fluid and said it was pretty clean and I didn't need a brake fluid flush. I highly recommend Richard and the RTMotorwoks team!

I walked into RTM today expecting the usual hustle and bustle of a car shop and maybe getting turned down, because I didn’t call ahead. Instead, I was greeted by kindness and generosity from the moment I stepped foot. "Do you have an appointment?" they asked, and I had to admit I didn't. To my surprise, the crew still put everything aside, circling to replace my burned-out, hard-to-reach headlights and spent over half an hour working on my car. One of the mechanics— Peter, also managed to cleverly 'retrofit-fix' a sensor under the hood that had been beeping and ringing in my ear for thousands of miles, saving me from spending money and future headaches. It’s clear that these people have a genuine commitment to helping the customer over seeking profit. Thank you, Richard, Esteban, and Peter. I appreciate you guys.

RTM is the only shop I trust over the years and he will take care of you well. Be patient and he knows what's best for your car! Highly recommend!

First time with RTMotorworks and needed my fog light bezel replaced. I was in contact with Richard and he was quick to respond. I was able to go in and get it inspected right away. His guys knew what was needed. Richard contacted me about pricing and ordered the part asap. Got the part in a couple days and was replaced the next day. Took less than an hour to get it fixed and they did a great job. I will now go to them when I need work on my car.

I have been coming to Richard for years now. He is a great mechanic & helps his customers as much as he possibly can. He does his best to fix your car in a timely fashion. I have never had to bring my car back for the same repair after he has repaired it. He has done some intense work on multiple cars that I have brought to him & I’ve been satisfied every single time. I highly recommend him, from the most basic jobs to the more complex.

This is the go-to spot for suspension work. Richard responds timely and is extremely patient with any inquiries. Had a back and forth over the course of several months and he's always responded well. The staff there is fantastic and welcoming. I had an appt scheduled on a Saturday morning, dropped it off, and went across to Starbucks to chill. Lowered my car for a price beating any other shop and I got an alignment afterwards too. You can feel at ease leaving your car there as they don't mess around and are constantly working. Incredible value for the service provided. I cant recommend this place enough! I attached before photos before the springs settled and will update after they've fully dropped.

RTMotorworks is a great place to get your car serviced. They are professional, fast, and affordable. They did a perfect wheel alignment for my car and gave me a good price. I highly recommend them.

This shop is the bread-and-butter when it comes down to a foreign vehicle. I highly recommend! The mechanic's there really make your car feel new again. Thank you so much I am now a life time customer.🤗

My wife brought in her 2008 Lexus ES 350 in for a waterpump replacement. Not a conventional water pump replacement as this Toyota engine build is quite complex & due to the complexity of this install the repair can be very expensive. RTM quoted us a very reasonable price and completed the repairs in one day. Wow! Go see Richard for amazing customer service and honest mechanics. Conveniently located in the heart of Arcadia at the intersection of Santa Anita & Live Oak.

I must say that this auto mechanic is the real deal!! Richard and his team are the most honest and humble at what they do, bringing great service and expertise at the same time. Most of all the price is very affordable! I highly recommend RTMotorworks, a gem that one does not find everyday.

I’m a continued customer with RTM and literally recommended to my friends frequently. You can do your tires change & alignment, also the car service here. Most importantly, the business owner Richard is authentic and responsible all the time!
