Sending along a 2021 Christmas appreciation note to Em and the folks at TruMotive.
We own a 2013 Acura TL, which requires a Timing Belt (TB) replacement every 8 years or 105,000 miles and it was time for this major service.
I called Em to request a quote and talk through the details, I'm particular about my vehicles. I asked for the TB, Water Pump, T-Stat, Spark Plugs and Valve Cover and Spark Plug tube gaskets to be replaced. Em was able to source all OEM parts for me as I had requested and schedule the work. During our initial phone conversation he recommended the valves in this motor

I've been taking my vehicles here for over a year now. From full truck suspension to a tune on a Porsche these guys do it all and everything in between! Always great customer service and honesty. I've tried other shops but they don't compare to the experience at Trumotive. If you need any work done to your vehicle this is the place!

I've been to alot of different mechanics and trying to find the right one was always difficult because I always knew they were trying to get the best of me like the dealership or some shop that always cared about the money and not his customer's concern for their vehicle. Until I bought a vehicle that was maintained by Em ( Trumotive Owner) so I figured why not just let him to continue to work on it. Em and his Team down at Trumoitve has not disappointed me, such a Great group of guys who are passionate about what they do. I bring both my cars here for monthly maintenance, engine swap both cars

Brought my Volkswagen Jetta in for it's 90,000 mile service, as well as to install a front sway bar and have an alignment done. I am very pleased with how the work turned out. Em is polite, and the shop is exceptionally clean. I've always heard that "no one cares about your things as much as you". While that may be true, I definitely didn't feel as though I left my car in bad hands. If you're a detail oriented perfectionist such as myself, this is the shop you want to take your car/truck to.

As a woman I've been taken advantage of by mechanics in the past but I feel really comfortable taking my car to this shop. They are reasonably priced and they do a great job! The staff is extremely good at customer service, in fact, I trust this place completely and will never take my car anywhere else! I also left this review with the BBB!I will recommend Trumotive to everyone I know! Thank you guys.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value
If you are looking for a quality and trustworthy mechanic, take it to Em. His work speaks for itself, he’s worked on my Jeep and Infiniti. I always have peace of mind when my cars need service. You will never find a better, more reliable, and trustworthy person then Em.
Services: Transmission, Electrical, Oil change, Steering/Suspension

Much respects to Em from Trumotive. I brought my Acura TSX in to diagnose an issue regarding what I believed to be either the clutch or something transmission related. Em scheduled me for an appointment to look over the car, drove it around, and was able to pinpoint some possible causes.
There are not many shops that will be fully transparent and honest with their customers. But Em, with his expertise, made me feel comfortable going in for a repair, and will probably come again for future repairs. Also, not to mention, prices are very reasonable and to the point.

Em/Trumotive serviced my 2019 Civic Type R. Early morning appointment. I made the travel from San Diego because I saw on social media(referred by an old friend) that they have been getting their wrench time on the new CTRs. That made me feel comfortable that they know the platform. Very laid back attitude, professional, clean shop. The free guest WiFi is awesome, I had no signal in the area.
Follow them on Facebook and Instagram and see their great work. Engines and transmissions being replaced. This is not just for high performance oriented work, they will service your mom and

I was in need of service and new tires for my Audi. Getting quotes from all over the place was driving my mind crazy, especially in these times.
My friend referred me to Trumotive, and to my surprise they do service, tires and alignments.
Dropped off my car, got some lunch and came back to a brand new car! Best part, they didn't break my bank. They didn't haggle me for other services but did recommend new brake pads.
Will definitely come back and recommend anyone come here for your basic or advance car needs.

Today I called Trumotive in need of a belt replacement, recommended from a friend of mine and let me tell you! The owner Em, is very helpful and welcoming, I told him the problems with my car and HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND! I've never set food in that area and now it's the only shop I'm gonna start going too.
When I came back to pickup my vehicle he did further inspecting at some hoses and actually tightened them down to find out that they were leaking. He had pictures and was very thorough with explaining what was wrong and what I would need to get fixed, all for a reasonable price

Em and his team are always efficient and honest with their work. They never try to up sell you on what you don't need, just straight to the point and fix what needs to be fixed. We will not take our cars to get serviced anywhere else! Thank you Em and the rest of the Trumotive team for your super hard work!

Took my IS300 in here for a big oil leak. Trumotive quickly diagnosed the leak and sent me pictures during the process. The car was repaired withing a matter of days and it has been leak free ever since. Top that off with a fair and honest price too! There are very few people I trust working on my cars and Trumotive is definitely one of them. I 100% recommend this shop.

I put a minor dent in my 2 month old Honda Civic from hitting a pole while parking. At first I thought it was just a small scratch until later I realized that the right fender was popping out! I was so devastated. I thought to myself, "i just got this brand new car and now I'm going to have to pay so much to get it fixed." Luckily, Trumotive was able to fix it all within minutes and make my car look brand new again! Also, it didn't cost me as much as I thought. I am so happy at how fast they were able to fix my car. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. I am so thankful

Cool and clean shop. I normally do all my own work but came here for some stuff I just can't do myself. Em came highly recommended and after following him on social media and seeing the level of work I decided to try him out. He was very cool and knowledgeable. Because of what I needed he recommended me to a shop right around the corner because I was going to take up more time then it was worth. I will definitely be taking my other cars here when I need work. Also recommended him to family and friends that's are looking for a honest and good mechanic

Timely and quality service! I had the head gasket replaced on my '99 Civic Si here, and it was done quickly and properly. Em has been super helpful with my DIY projects as well, helping me separate an intermediate shaft from a CV joint and loosen a seized axle nut. If you need work done on your Honda/Acura or other Japanese car, only come here!

I was recommended to come to this shop for a repair on my front brakes and Em was able to get me in and out in less than a half an hour! Super friendly, super helpful, didn't try to sell me anything, didn't try to confuse me or BS me he just diagnosed the problem and fixed it right there! I am so grateful and I know where I'll be going for anything my car needs! Thank you again Em you run a great and professional business!

Let me start of by saying how professional Trumotive is and thank you for returning my car in alot better shape then it was. Now the top page (the page with red) is a Quote from Weir Canyon Acura they suggested I fix these items and the price was outrageous. I brought my vehicle to Trumotive and their Receipt is the bottom page ( all white page) they fixed what needed to be fix in a timely manner. I drove all the way from Pomona to this shop and it was well worth the drive they have earned my business keep up the great work.

Man, I don't even know where to begin... let's just say I owe a ton to Em and his team. I had a 99 Honda Prelude that to say the least needed some work. I had just gotten it, so I had done all the basic tuneups and maintenance outside of the timing belt and everything in it, as I don't have the time, space, or equipment for that in my garage. So I asked around my knowledgeable car guy friends on a good local shop that's aftermarket/tuner/import friendly, especially on Hondas, (since Temecula is all about hot rods) and I got told about Trumotive. Took it to his shop, and got it done with all Honda

Absolutely great customer service ask for Em. Price is very good also work is absolutely great. Did not hassle me getting other work done. Completely honest best price around town. I drove down from San Diego to have work done by him. I will not go another mechanic. My breaks on my camaro are completely brand new. I felt absolutely safe leaving my car with him. Come check the shop out

A friend recommended me this shop and I have been a loyal customer ever since. I am picky when it comes to where I take my cars. I had to get some maintenance done on my car (mind you, it's a lowered car; a lot of shops don't accommodate lowered cars) but TruMotive can work on lowered cars so that's a huge plus! Also, I have a Toyota 4Runner and it's lifted and I trust them with my truck as well.
Price - Pricing is great. I was surprised I did not get overcharged (most shops would, especially because I'm a female).
Location - great location. It's a great shop

Just ordered my K&N intake for my 2018 Acura tlx a spec! No other shop or dealership could find an intake for my car since it's still too new and rare of a car ! He not only offered to build one but is also willing to customize and give me a deal on installation! He's quick and responsive no matter what time of the day it is ! He's always willing for me to bring my car on by. He diagnoses my sisters Toyota Corolla and is going to be doing brakes and installation on our 2015 Altima and 2008 accord !

Had to get my Honda's clutch replace. I called around the area asking if any of them would install my aftermarket (bought online for cheaper) clutch and for how much and I was being charged ridiculous amounts. My friend recommended I check out Trumotive so I gave the shop a call and requested a quote.
Got a really good deal and settled here. My clutch replaced within a day and released a lot of stress thank goodness.
I really appreciate the honesty and value I get from here. Highly recommend and will be coming back here for future automobile services.
