    New Enkei wheels that Rishie set me up with
    Wesley C.

    Don't worry, whatever problems or questions you have, Rishie at AutoRND, will likely be able to get you sorted out with great ease and comfort. I had no idea what kind of rims and tires to go for when it came to aftermarket wheels so he took time to explain everything to me in a manner that anyone could understand. His work is superb and guaranteed quality. I definitely will recommend AutoRND to anyone for auto related services and projects.

    Installed Ksport coilovers at AutoRnD with a 1 inch drop; Before and After
    Alejandro F.

    My experience with AutoRnD was complete professionalism and great tuning. I have a Scion FRS and enlisted Rishie and Mike's help to install my new coilovers and do an alignment. I got there at 8:30 am, and shortly thereafter Mike prepped the car on the lift so everything was ready for my consultation with Rishie. Rishie definitely knows his stuff and took the time to ask me about how I drive my car and what my goals for it are. I was debating how much to lower the car, and finally decided on a 1'' drop now so I can get used to any bumps where I drive now and still be able to track the car, and once I get wheels and rear lower control arms then re-evaluate the suspension. I came to pick up the car at 4:30 pm the same day and Rishie gave me the run-down of the values he thought were best suited for my FRS. Front: -.2 degree camber (slightly out), -.01 degree toe (slightly toe out) Rear: -2.0 degree camber (out), 0.11 degree toe (slightly in) By lowering the car and using the stock control arms, the rear gravitated to -2.0 degree camber (for better cornering), so Rishie compensated by giving me positive toe to decrease oversteer and the tendency for the rear to fishtail on the stock tires. For the front, Rishie adjusted for slightly negative camber and toe to improve the turn-in and make the car more responsive. My Ksport coilovers have a spring rate of 7.5k front and 6.3k rear, and the stock values differ on the branding (Toyota 86 vs BRZ vs FRS), which are 2.3k front and 3.8k rear for the Scion FRS. Due to the stiffer springs with 36 levels of dampening adjustments, Rishie tuned them to 10 clicks softer from the midpoint, so they still feel comfortable for daily driving. Did I mention he's a big fan of GT86's and tunes his own! So he definitely understands the platform. Before handing me the keys, he did a lap around the parking lot to make sure there were no noises or areas of concern. I walked away a happy customer and will definitely go to them when it's time to do wheels and rear lower control arms.

    SPL Parts Upper and Lower cambers, Tanabe Coilovers for my 350Z
    Reg T.

    Best shop for wheels, suspension installation and wheel alignment, also Rishie is an all around solid guy too. First of all, not a lot of shops like to have outside parts brought in, so you're in luck as Rishie is ok with this. Due to positive reviews on Yelp and it's all true, I contacted Rishie and after several email exchanges, scheduled installation service for Tanabe coilovers and SPL parts cambers (upper front and lower rears), with alignment. A few years later, decided to change out Vertini Fairlady wheels for Enkei RS05RR, and had a great deal from Rishie on these that I couldn't pass up. He also recommended to order tires from Discount Tires and have them dropped shipped to RnD Auto, again glad his shop allows this, it's great cost savings! Overall, a great experience as a new and as a returning customer. Contact Rishie and schedule appointments, you'll have a great encounter and a trust worthy shop to use.

    2011 wrx getting that alignment
    Joseph J.

    Called for alignment questions, was able to get my alignment done the same day on my 2011 wrx, much appreciated AutoRnB! Would highly recommend this ship, and will be going back when I need to get re-aligned. Owner is real good dude, professional and at the same time chill. He's know his stuff, and explained it real good for my caster and camber. Subaru's that need alignment, and they're low car friendly go here! Enough said.

    There's no reason to go to anywhere else but here. Whether you want a full blown race car, a slammed show car, a comfortable daily or anything in between, Rishie is an expert on it. He takes his time to understand your exact needs and pulls from his extensive experience to curate a perfect selection of components. Prices are unbeatable for the service and advice you get. I got wheels, coilovers, and a variety of other suspension components here and they all worked together perfectly. Can't recommend highly enough!

    The shop car is actually drivable, that's how you know this guy actually cares about driving/safety..

    Auto RnD is like the Panerai of the watch world, people may have never heard of it; those people probably didn't know that Panerai uses to have Rolex movements either. It may not be the shop with the biggest glitz or glam, it's tucked away in a corner and doesn't have a huge sign that says "Yes!! We are the go-to place for slammed cars" but when was the last time you saw a Ferrari commercial on tv? If you know, then you know.. This is the standard and anything else is uncivilized. Auto RnD has been around for a long time, I've heard stories about this place; there are guys that have been to SEMA for 20 plus years that tell me that this is the BEST and ONLY shop they go to for ANYTHING SUSPENSION RELATED. So when I personally installed new control arms/bushings, tie rod, stabilizer link and even got new tires on top of that, I the had chance to bring my E30 in. Reshi not only took care of everything, but he gave me the piece of mind of know that if I drive back to San Francisco and things don't feel right; he would fix it the next day. We as auto/motorsport enthusiast spend a lot of money on our cars, but if the car doesn't drive RIGHT and SAFE.. then why drive it at all?

    Mixed reviews…read more What's the point of the appointment? Normally this shop was good. Friendly of course, however too friendly. Let me explain... What's the point of the appointment?? June 26, 2026 I called earlier this morning to see if I can come in at 5pm for a repair, nail in the tire. After work of course. The guy whom I spoke to, again friendly said he could help for sure but it would be better to make an appointment. I said I don't see the point of making an appointment since their team doesn't get to the people who have appointments on time. Had another experience for an 8am appointment and they didn't get to me for 40 minutes after Intaking people and talking for so long. He said that must have been a one off and they try to get everyone out in under an hour. I said I'll make the appointment but I don't want to wait 1.5 hrs for a repair. It's not fair to me to have to just wait. He makes an appointment at 4pm. 4pm rolls around, I'm there at 4:05pm. Traffic in Fremont is bad at that time. They didn't intake (see me) at my appoint until 4:45......... Then they look at my tires goes and talks to their team who says it'll be ready at 5:45pm. AGAIN!!!!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE APPOINTMENT IF YOUR NOT GOING TO HONOR THE APPOINTMENT!!!! Anyways....what their team needs to do is stop allowing customers to stand there looking at each tire on the website deciding which one they want. One guy alone helped a man and his son for 40 minutes!!!!!! What's the point of the appointment?

The location was very busy, so I went to the front desk and was told to go to the air-check area first. I asked if they could put my name on the waitlist since the line was so long, but the employee told me the air check would only take about three minutes and that the wait wouldn't be bad. I pulled up to the air-check area and was the second car in line. A technician then told me that air checks were the front desk's responsibility. After waiting another 20 minutes, the same front desk employee came outside and told me I was in the wrong spot and would now have to go to the back of the line. When I pushed back and explained that I had followed his instructions, he refused to help me, saying he couldn't because I was in the wrong spot. The frustrating part is that he was the person who told me where to go in the first place and never explained that I needed to be somewhere else. The owner of this location really needs to reassess the customer service at the front desk. I've always had great experiences with America's Tire, so this was extremely disappointing. I ended up leaving without receiving any help and drove to the Livermore location, where I was helped wonderfully. I highly recommend the Livermore location, but I would avoid this location at all costs.

I quickly turned to Yelp to find a nearby tire auto shop, and Tirezilla popped up. I'm so glad I chose them! Joe was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating. Initially, I just needed someone to put air in the tire until my husband could change it. However, Joe assessed the situation and discovered that a nail had punctured the tire, meaning it would continue to leak air. He suggested fixing it right then and there without needing to change the tire, which was a huge relief! Throughout the process, Joe was mindful of my kids, who were enjoying their dinner in the car after gymnastics. He made sure the repair was done efficiently without causing any inconvenience to them, which I truly appreciated. The repair was completed in minimal time, and it was clear that Joe takes pride in his work and values customer satisfaction. I left feeling relieved and grateful for his professionalism and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend Tirezilla, especially Joe, for anyone in need of tire repair. His quick response, expertise, and customer-friendly approach made all the difference in what could have been a stressful situation. Thank you, Joe, for your outstanding service!

    the profile picture being the popcorn maker is more telling of what they are good at…read more I've had a lot of time to think about what's happened and let me just guide you through it. In June 2025, I needed to get my brake pads replaced. Instead of taking it to my trusted mechanic, I thought "Les Schwab specializes in this sort of thing so they must be the pros." I was wrong. Les Schwab is a sales machine that happens to work on cars, and not even that well. Instead of quoting for pad replacement and brake bleeding, they insisted that their policy only allows pad changes to be accompanied by rotor and caliper replacement. I've done brake work on cars and motorcycles but I felt it was difficult to argue with someone who does it professionally. After meticulously bedding in the pads, they started to squeak. In September of that same year I was able to carve out some time and have the squeak addressed. The looked at it and sanded it down for an hour. I asked them what caused it and the technician basically told me he didnt know. After a week it started squeaking again. I couldnt bring it back to get the squeak addressed (again) until August 2026 because I was working a contract job and didnt have the flexibility to take unpaid leave. They had the car for 3 hours. They found a leaky piston and replaced it since it was under warranty. Then upon handing the car back, I drove off and immediately noticed that the brake pedal required twice the distance to press to stop. I even had to adjust my seat to get full travel. I brought it back and asked them to bleed it. They said they already did, but would do it again. They had me wait an hour before it went back into the bay to be serviced (I felt they were waiting for me to just say "Forget it" and leave). They brought the car out after being in there for less than 15 minutes. I pressed the brake and told him it felt the same. He said "I mean we can bleed it a third time but it'll be the same. It stops good." At that point I had enough of the slow service, technicians giving me half answers. I suspected that when they replaced the single leaky caliper, they only bled that side. Two days later I took my car to Anson in Fremont. Told them the situation. They put it on a lift, bled all 4 wheels twice. The mechanic had me do a test drive while he was in the passenger seat. It felt right. Thanks Anson, and no thanks to Les Schwab. Never taking my car there again, even if it is warranty work. btw, they asked me to fill out a survey. I gave them my honest take (not just all bottom scores, but definitely below average). And then the last question was "would you like to be contacted about this review" and I said yes and selected "by email". they called me and I told them I had selected "email". He said, "well we're already on the phone. Want to just talk about it?" Talk about gas lighting. No thanks.

    If you own a Tesla and have a flat tire, I suggest you go on your Tesla App to request roadside…read moreassistance. Tesla will go to your location and fix the flat or replace the same brand of tire if needed. I was not aware of this service until my son reminded me. I had a complete flat tire in my garage and called Geico. The tow truck driver came and took me to Universal Tire because I heard this place was fast and competitive. The shop took off my tire and tested the leak and said I need to replace the tire because there are two punctures and they are too close to each other. The shop said I need to replace two tires instead of one and the cost was going to be around $1,000 for the exact same brand on my 2025 model Y. I did not feel comfortable about this situation so I left. The lesson I learned is to contact Tesla if I ever have a flat tire in the future. Tesla technician came within an hour and fixed the tire for a total of $103 because the puncture was only in one spot and the tire could be plugged. Tesla did provide an initial quote to replace a new tire for $395 in case it really needed. I was ok with that and Tesla did not say I needed to replace both tires. The technician did this work in his mobile van and he explained to me about his test and what he did to fix the tire. I was both surprised and happy. Tesla technician (Manny) was really helpful and HONEST. This may be an isolated case with Universal tires & wheel but I just want to share my experience and hope this helps others.
