RMC Automotive Specialties quality of work and customer service are second to none. Ms Loretta has been taking care of my cars since 1986, when she was at Mose's shop on Oceanside blvd. Victor always greet the customers with a smile and good conversation, plus he's a pretty good fisherman. I just recently had a major air conditioner job completed there and the results are fantastic. My car was returned performing and looking like it just came off the showcase... Thank you RMC crew, you have my support and business 4 LIFE !!! read more

Be aware. These people are predatory thieves. They will take advantage of the elderly. My sister who had a stroke was charged $1055. Dollars to replace a cable that cost $317. Per Toyota. But RMC charged my sister $478. To top it off, that wasn't the problem. Toyota verified that the cable replaced was still in good condition. This place also put in a bushing that cost $8.00 at Toyota. Very simple job. I could have done the work in 30 minutes max. The only reason I didn't do the work is because my sister didn't want to bother me so she never told me. Instead she took it to RMC Auto Specialist. They should be in jail. I wonder how many elderly and woman have been taken advantage of. read more

I recently took my car into this shop thinking I had a major issue. The team took the time to properly diagnose the problem and found out it was actually just a failing spark plug. They replaced it quickly, and my car now runs perfectly! I really appreciate their honesty and professionalism -- they could've easily charged me for unnecessary work, but instead they fixed only what was needed. The repair was done in a timely manner, and the price was very fair. I recommend this shop for anyone looking for trustworthy, skilled mechanics! read more

This is my second time here. Reggie and his team always take great care of my car with excellent customer service and a smile. An honest business with good customer service and integrity is hard to find these days. Look no further. Don't waste your time and frustration going elsewhere. You will not be disappointed! read more

RMC Automotive is outstanding. Reggie and his team are knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. I appreciated their courteous service and timely completion of the work. Honest shops that don't overcharge are hard to find, and RMC truly stands out. I'll definitely be returning for all future automotive needs. read more

Excellent service and work. RMC always does a great job on my car. My car is running like it is brand new and it's 12yrs old!

I'm writing a review for the week of 2/13 to 2/20. I was referred over to RMC Automotive from the Tow truck guy. I was skeptical because I had planned to take my car to the dealership. I'm glad I listened and took it to RMC. They were very helpful in diagnosing my car and answered all the questions I had for them. They provided me with very reasonable prices and were very transparent with the entire process. Reggie, Loretta, and Victor were extremely kind and helpful towards me each time I stopped by. They really take pride in the services they offer, Bridgestone had replaced my tires and forgot to put on my Tire pressure caps and Victor went out of his way to retrieve them and held onto them for me until the next time I got to the store. If there's any place I want to continue doing business with, it would be with Reggie and his team! read more

I would highly recommend Rmc to anyone. Victor and Reggie are always so helpful, as well as the staff is always super nice and do go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. They are affordable and make your experience on fixing your car seamlessly and no hassle. read more

Management and staff very professional. The mechanics are fast and efficient. They're very thorough. I highly recommend this place Reggie the owner. He's very friendly and professional. I had a great experience and again I recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

Honest recommendations during an oil change-I brought the car back a few weeks later for the repair. I didn't even realize there was anything wrong with the car -seemed fine. It's about 9 years old so I didn't expect it to run like a dream any longer but after having the recommended repair, it did again. Really thankful that they looked everything over well during the oil change. Was happy with their work. A little tucked away behind another repair shop-just keep your eyes peeled & you'll see it. read more

Great work, very considerate. My oil cooling pipe broke driving towards Oceanside, AAA drove me here an hour before they closed and they stayed past hours to make sure I was good to go. I've been burnt by mechanics in the past and had my guard up, price was very fair considering they helped me out past hours on a Friday night. Reggie and the guys are good people read more

Reggie is the man, I've been to RMC Automotive twice now for car repair and I'm very happy with the service provided. The first time was because my KIA would stutter at stoplights, and ever since he looked into it, no more problems with that. He even threw in the oil change for free and let me know when it would be best to get a new one, but he never pressured me to come back to his place specifically. He was also very helpful when I came back, and showed me all the things my car would need to run smoothly. Overall, he's helpful, knowledgeable, and a nice person to talk with. Definitely does his best to give you the best deal, and you can tell he's an honest guy. Thanks Reggie! read more

It's been so dang hot! I'm so glad RMC fixed my AC! It was only putting out cool air, but not icy cold. Reggie, the owner said, I'm gonna make this like a ice box. And that's exactly what he did. I love my new AC Reggie, thanks a million!! I would be dying in this heat without you! read more

Thank you Reggie for taking my call on a Sunday evening!! My daughters car needed service and RMC had it towed in and she had the car back on Monday evening. What a trust worthy guy and shop. Excellent service and reasonable repair costs! Great peace of mind to Reggie as our mechanic in Oceanside. read more

Reggie at RMC is so incredibly kind. When I went to 3 different shops including a dealer for my Ford Edge because the sunroof wouldn't close. I was turned away from 3 shops including the dealership. Thankfully Reggie saved the day! He fixed my sunroof and checked thoroughly to make sure it was leak proof! Best mechanic I've ever had, he truly cares for each and every customer! Very knowledgeable :) read more

What a great place to end when your car dies on the road and you need help. Justin, the driver from NK Towing Service, rescued me from Freeway 5 going south. He reassured me he was taking me to a highly reputable Garage. He was not kidding and I thank him for that. At the garage, Frank and Reggie welcomed me. They were very friendly which was helpful because my stress level was quite elevated. The team performed the diagnostics with the summary that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Not knowing what all this entails I feared for the worst. While I was planning to leave the car in the shop and find a way to get home the good news was presented: "We can replace the fuel pump and you will be on your way" All of this took place in a clean and organized Garage, the professionalism was outstanding, not to mention the positive vibes from the team members. I made it home safely and I am sharing my appreciation. Thank You! Go to RMC Automotive and say hello to Master Mechanic Reggie and superstar Frank. read more

My friend Rosie, had been telling me about her mechanic for about two years, and suggested I should use him. So one morning she asked me to come pick her up while her car was being worked on at the shop. That's when I was introduced to Reggie. I happen to be having problems with my car. I brought my car in for an assessment, and was very impressed with the professionalism and the cleanliness of his shop. He was very thorough and also had the parts he had replaced available for me to look at. He also gave me recommendations of what my next repairs should be done later. Definitely would recommend him to all my friends and family. read more

This shop is the best shop I have seen so far in Southern California. Mr. George was so nice and allowed us to get my vehicle towed and he was able to make all repairs very fast and ensured we could get our vehicle in a timely manner. He was able to quickly solve what was wrong, and they had very fair pricing compare to other shops. Highly recommend this family business to anyone looking to get work done on all of their automobiles. read more

Reggie and Loretta deliver great customer service. This is a small shop with honest people, good prices, and quality work.

As long as I continue to have car troubles, I will always go to RMC! The owner, Reggie, is kind, straightforward and honest. I am not too knowledgeable about car parts and whatnot, so they always make sure to explain in detail, show what's wrong in person or with pictures, so I understand the issue. I never feel like I'm getting ripped off here. At RMC, they are always reliable and get me my car back quickly. I wouldn't waste my time writing a review if I didn't believe they deserved it and they most definitely do! read more

My car broke down and Reggie saved the day! He had my car towed, and had it fixed the next day. He is a solid guy and I would recommend anyone go see him. No surprise he has all 5 star reviews. read more

RMC was amazing-I will be recommending it to everyone I know! This shop is local, small, and friendly. They are professional and treat you like you are their most important customer. I had a break job done-scheduled the day before without exactly knowing that was the issue-and it was completed within 2 hours at a great price. We are military and have only recently moved to CA. We are so happy to have found someone we can trust with our vehicle needs. read more

Fantastic old school style family auto shop. Honest, clean and friendly. Thank you RMC folks.

The longer I think about the experience the worse I realize it was. The car was sent out of the repair shop twice in an unsafe condition, and I was also lied to about the source of a replacement part. read more

My day started with a large chain automotive shop telling me what was not wrong with my car while not giving me definite answers to why my car was cutting off. Yet they had answers when it came time to drive up my cost. I knew immediately not to trust them and find someone else to look over and fix my car. I paid the diagnostic test and pulled my car out right away. I knew that they were playing me for stupid. From the moment I called Reggie to the time I drove off in my car, his services were remarkable. For starters, he took my car in pretty quickly. He even had his wonderful manager Socorra greet me at the door with a smile and loaner car until my car was up and running. The shop is neat and very clean. I felt very comfortable leaving my car with them. The manager went over the process of checking my car in and the mechanic gave me step by step details on what was wrong with my car and what needed to be done. They also took the time to recommend better ways to keep up with the maintenance on my car. I also appreciated how he would contact me with details on my car throughout the day. I strongly recommend RMC Automotive Specialties!!! read more

RMC Automotive Specialties - My baby is not cutting off anymore and driving better than the day I bought him! - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

Reggie and Socorro are such good people. I'm from Vegas and I was on a vacation here in Oceanside. My car suddenly couldn't start. My car made it to their shop since they are open til late. Reggie installed my batteries for a very good price. They did their absolute best to help me and I couldn't be more happier with the service that they gave me. Thank you so much Reggie and Socorro for being so accommodating and professional! read more

My girl friend went in for a simple oil change and tire change. After inspections by their mechanics they found that the tie rod was placed on backwards.. fine simple fix but he then tells my GF that she needs 1200$ of parts and maintenance in the Control arms and she left from needing a 500-800$ work to 2635$. When I called him to ask him about why she needed it he continued to dance around why she really needed them( she didn't) and then insults me saying, "it's not my fault you can't control your girl" when I press him about using his deceptive methods to get her to buy into that repair. End all never going here again..... read more

A good mechanic, like a doctor, dentist or a lawyer is hard to find. You can type "best mechanic in Oceanside" or "best lawyer in Oceanside" and you will get twenty or so SEO Google ads. We found Reggie's business card after getting our car smogged at the Smog Shop. "Tell me it isn't so? There's a mechanic with the same name as me? Call me crazy!" I finally found the time to take my CX-7 to his shop for a serious oil leak. I had two mechanics recommend the replacement of the entire oil cooler (+$700 + labor). They claimed the entire assembly would need to be replaced. C'mon man, are you serious? They looked at me and said, "Yes, there are no other options." Thankfully, we have the Google, and I learned that it wasn't true. The oil cooler is prone to leaking due to a bad gasket in the oil cooler. I drove over to Reg's shop and decided to give him a chance. Let me tell you, he had me at "Hello." As a business consultant, I judge every business by its customer service. How many business have you walked into and been serious turned off or pissed off by their lack of customer service. It doesn't matter if its a $5 sammich or $500 AirBnB experience. Customer service is what makes or breaks a business. Not only did he say, it shouldn't be a problem, he actually put the car on the lift and gave me a quick lesson on the Mazda engine. The man knows how to make you feel at ease. He had the car for a few days and he kept me informed, with pictures, every step of the way! Key Points to Consider - Best Hours for Working Stiffs. Shop opens around 4:00~4:30pm during the week. Don't you hate wasting your workday dropping your car off or sitting in a waiting room on a Saturday morning drinking bad coffee? This shop is open after you get off of work. Plus, in many cases, you may get your car back that same evening*(Depends upon the job) - Premium Customer Service. Reg and his wife, Socorro, run a super clean shop. Complete transparency with costs! - Da Bears! Reg is from Chicago, IL. Need I say more? - Concierge Service. Personal, professional and a craftsman. Need I say more. He gave us the same personal service as the owner of the MB or Maserati. No, seriously. Got the same luv! So, this is a review I want no one to see because I can't have people monopolizing my new mechanic. Just kidding! Support a local business and give Reg and Socorro an opportunity to win your trust. You won't regret it! read more

My car was running weird and got so bad driving it felt dangerous. They were open on Sunday, dropped it off in the afternoon and had me back in my car the next day running like a dream. Price for repair made sense to me, didn't feel ripped off. Very nice and knowledgeable staff. 10/10 would recommend read more

RMC is the real deal! If you need an honest, skilled, professional mechanic for your car from my experience I would not hesitate to go to RMC! The owner Reggie and his staff were fantastic and very accommodating to my situation. My Dad's truck would not start no matter what I tried. I eventually had it towed to RMC and they where able to fix my issue fast with OEM products. And get this... when the tow truck driver picked up my Dad's truck, he confirmed the destination with me and said: "RMC is really good.. Reggie, the owner, is awesome!" The tow truck driver apparently has taken a few tows to RMC. That was fantastic reassurance I was not expecting. Absolutely going back! read more

I typically do not take the time to write reviews because I am always on the go. But what I got at RMC was excellent customer service. The transparency was great and a breath of fresh air. The communication was consistent from start to finish. Honestly after this experience I have been looking for a shop that I can bring all my vehicles in for and I feel like I found the one. RMC is one of Oceanside's best kept secrets. read more

After a bad experience at another auto repair, I was sceptical about getting work done outside a dealership. I read many reviews and found Reggie and RMC Automotive Specialists. After talking with Reggie on the phone, I decided to bring my car into the shop. Reggie was so nice and honest! He didn't make me feel like I was being taken advantage of . He didn't brush me off when I had questions, he was patient and kind. He explained everything to me before working on my car and gave me a great price quote. I HIGHLY recommend RMC Auto to anyone who needs repairs on their car. I will be a repeat customer. I am happy to have found him! Thank you for a great experience and fixing my car quickly and affordably. read more

Got booked for a consultation within 2 days! Reggie and his mechanics went way beyond my expectations to find out the real problem with my truck. They're the kindest and really connect with their costumers! This place is great in price and they go beyond the money to make you happy. read more

I can't say enough about RMC. My car died unexpectedly in a parking lot on Thursday evening. RMC happened to be the highest rated mechanic close to me AND they were open when everyone else was not - during the evening! I had my car towed to the shop and the owner was so kind to explain to me all the possible things that could be wrong and all my options. Long story short, after diagnosing the problem they fixed my car within 24 hours at an amazing price. I have an Infiniti and was driving to Carlsbad every time my car needed service because there was a shop there that was the only place I trusted. I am so happy to have "accidentally" found RMC, so close to me and such an honest and customer service oriented business. I will be bringing my car here from now on. read more

So thankful to have found RMC. Both Reggie and Socorro are so kind, helpful, and easy to work with, as well as being very affable. Reggie is actually willing to show you exactly what's going on with your car, rather than just telling you what needs to be fixed. Can't thank you both enough for being great people, running a great business, and getting my car back into shape! read more

We were in Oceanside looking at a car for my daughter and I called this shop to see if they could do a mechanical assessment of the vehicle. They did a complete workup, drove it around, put it in the air and looked at all the belts and hoses, checked the computer for any codes... And they found a transmission leak that even the owner didn't know about! They were very open and honest about what they saw, and what their recommendation would be for our daughter. Very personal and knowledgeable and friendly. Ask for Reggie- You can't go wrong here! read more

My trunk wouldn't latch and I was able to bring in my VW first thing in the morning and it was all fixed up same day! Sweet, sweet people and clearly very knowledgeable. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Probably the best service I have ever gotten for an oil change!! Everyone was so welcoming and informative. I never felt like i was being pressured into anything(like other places) on the contrary, Reggie walked me through what my car needed and what he was doing. Great place with great service! read more

Reggie is absolutely amazing! My water pump went out on my truck and he made took me in right away and got to work on my truck. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my vehicles. Trustworthy mechanic which is a rare commodity these days, highly recommend! read more
