Services
RPM Auto Center was founded in 2009 by guys that have a real passion for cars. The founders have professional backgrounds in product development and engineering for major automotive brands such as Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Denso and AEM. This, combined with their knowledge about fixing and maintaining cars and their genuine desire to help others with their vehicle needs is what makes RPM Auto Center a trustworthy shop to bring your car to.
Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. Proper lubrication of all the moving parts means less gas is wasted on overcoming internal friction and more of it is transferred to the tires and wheels to get the vehicle going. Eventually, oil and the vehicle's other lubricants require replacement because the fluids break down over time and become less effective.
We service all passenger-based vehicles, light-duty and medium-duty trucks up to and including the popular Isuzu NPR, Mitsubishi Fuso and Nissan UD series trucks. We do not service heavy-duty class 6-8 commercial trucks. We leave those to the big-rig shops that have the proper tools and equipment to handle those behemoths.
I've taken my 2009 Ford Mustang here about 3 times for regular up keep of my Car. They have been honest and very patient : not rude and very understanding. The price is reasonable and they do an excellent job. I would definitely recommend this auto center to my friends and colleagues at work. So if you're looking for honest mechanics that know what they are doing, this is the place to go.

I went to a tire shop on live oak that had 5 star rating was told my tire sensor had to be replaced but they couldn't do it right away. I called RPM and the owner just turned the sensor a little and was able to put air for me took him 2 seconds. Didn't charge me anything. I am bringing them Mochinut.

RPM Auto Center is by far the best auto shop I've ever been to. Everyone is super understanding and upfront! They are great at telling you the truth and letting you know what's wrong and how they will approach the problem! Mr. Michael kept me updated on my F-150 pickup every step of the way, plus you can't beat their deals! If you nervous about auto shops like I was... ease your anxiety with RPM Center in Arcadia!

Mike was a life saver tonight. Oil engine light came on after a long drive and when I checked my oil levels, it was bone dry. In a panic to find help, I stumbled upon Mike who was getting in his car to leave for the day. I gave him a little insight to my problem and without asking he decided to help me! With a screaming 2 year old in the back seat and frantic to get my car back on the road, Mike came to the rescue and I was out of there in minutes. I will 100% be taking my car here for routine check ups! Thanks Mike, you truly were a God sent tonight!

I was recommended this place years ago and have been coming ever since. I trust their diagnosis and recommendations and they've worked with my budget, time frame, etc on many occasions. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially Mike and Ricky! I like that they follow up on bigger repairs to see how the car is running. Highly recommend!

Came in for a smog check & oil change. Staff was very easy to work with and pricing was better than most others in the area.
Left my car due to the staff taking their lunch but was contacted promptly once it was done. They also had recommendations for future work to prevent problems in the future.
Will def come back as Ricky we very helpful and professional

Shoutout to Ricky & the RPM for taking care of my 2009 Lancer. Been coming here on & off for the past 5 years (because I lived so far away). Now that I live closer will definitely always go to them for my car needs. I always leave there with my car feeling new. They are straight up with me with what my car needs & their prices are reasonable.

I have been coming to RPM ever since I started driving and a total of 3 different car makes. They worked with each car with the same finesse and never disappoint.
My car light went on and RPM was the first place I thought of taking it too. I took my car right when they opened and informed them I needed my car by a certain time due to work. They worked on my car so quickly and I was able to make it to work on time.
Thank you Ricky for making it possible and for always being so nice and welcoming! :)
Definitely bring your car here! You won't regret it. & the prices are definitely affordable

This is an update from my review 4 years ago and I will say this, RPM Auto Center has remained consistent with their excellent car services and have always been really helpful with me and my wife and our car maintenances and services.
The staff (Mike and Ricky) have always been attentive and accommodating whenever we bring our car for services / maintenance. We specifically explain to them the issues with our car and based on the information we provide them, they will thoroughly inspect everything in the car. They will only recommend what is needed for your car rather than upsell you other services

I took my Forester in to replace new brakes and resurface my rotors. Ricky was super helpful and he wasn't trying to do anything that my car didn't need like most auto shops. They even provided me with recommended services for a next visit and provided the quote for those services. They were honest, efficient, and had exceptional customer service. I can trust that they provide good pricing and they are a lot more competitive versus going to dealerships. I will be coming back again for future services.

They have been very nice and very generous.
when you pull up they are checking to see if you got some help or need help. I like the fact that they come up and ask you, unlike other places where they let you stand for 5-10 minutes.
The pricing is reasonable and fair. I always get my cars checked with them before a long trip.
see you soon for the next oil change.

Had an amazing experience here at RPM auto center. Came early and even though they were super busy they had enough employees to attend to all the customers right away. Was in and out with new wheels and tires mounted and balanced In just a couple of minutes! Would definitely recommend Steve and the team here at RPM for all your service needs.

Went here for an oil change and serpentine belt. They were super accommodating and their rates are very fair.
Their staff is very professional and Steven made sure our experience was excellent.
Overall if you are in need of simple car maintenance or something more elaborate this is the shop that you go to for all your car needs.
For a one stop car shop they have it all and Stevens service is more than enough for us to want to come back.
