Great work and service. Highly recommended and will return again! Came in and work was completed in a timely matter.

This is going to be my new go to guy! No matter how old my car is it literally feels new. I couldn't be more satisfied with the work. Em completed the work on my car in a timely manner, the price was fantastic, the shop was neatly clean and organized. Definitely recommend EM! If I could I would give him a 10 stars! read more

Wow! I can't even explain how grateful I am for such an unbelievable experience. I got stranded in Murrieta from San Diego. The spark plug of my Honda Civic shot out & completely stopped my car. Not a big deal, get a new spark plug & coil pack...or so I thought. By the time the tow service got me, I only had 2 hours before auto zone closed. My boyfriend's brother who is a mechanic in Fresno, walked us through the process of doing this "quick fix" --after following step by step instructions via FaceTime, my car still wouldn't start. I had to leave my car behind get a hotel & my entire night was filled with anxiety & uncertainty. After calling 80% of the mechanics on Yelp in the Murrieta area, I was referred to Trumotive (which didnt pop up on my initial yelp search). Em (the owner I believe) took my call & after explaining my ordeal, gave me a diagnostic & told me to bring it in. After checking out my car, Em's true expertise on Honda's was proven. He's initial diagnostic was right! I don't recall if it was due to time commitment or tooling but he wasn't able to perform he job but referred me over to the next mechanic shop who happened to specialize in the work I needed. Em thank you so much for being an honest, beyond helpful, & knowledgeable mechanic. I HIGHLY recommend Trumotive to anyone in need of quality & trustworthy work. You went above & beyond to help me get back on the road, thank you a million times! read more

Em gave me a great price and I couldn't pass it up. He thoroughly explained what was wrong with my transmission and text me videos while I was elsewhere waiting for his diagnosis of my issue. Got the car back with no more irritating noises from trans and very happy. read more

Em and his crew have worked on my Hondas and Acuras for over ten years. Honest and kind. Highly recommend.

Excellent, friendly and professional customer service. If you have any issues with your vehicle, these professionals can assist and give you advice on how to move forward. I will recommend your shop to everyone and I will definitely be back for anything car related! Thank you Trumotive for taking care of my Subaru! read more

I called around town asking for quotes to fix and update my suspension for my Honda S2000. Em gave me a price I can work with and did a great job. Very professional and not sales-pushy at all. He recommended other services I should look into and I probably will once I get my paycheck. read more

I brought my sister in-laws 04 civic here due to a very bad head gasket. Personally knowing Em Tran and his extensive knowledge with Hondas he recommended it'd be best just to overhaul the motor since it had over 200k+ miles. Really honest shop; gave recommendations on other attention needed in the car since the motor was out since we planned to go that route. The job was a 1 day turn around with no hiccups or errors within the job performed. This was done in March and the car is still running strong! Thanks again read more

Trumotive is the best shop by far Hands down! Em is the man and fixed my car. He didn't make me feel like I was a nobody like other shops.

My baby (my car) has a new home to get her fixed when needed and definitely some upgrades coming soon! Thanks Em and Trumotive team! I will recommend to all my fam n friends...

Trumotive - My Cb7 is up and running great thanks to Em and the Trumotive team. - Auto Repair Near Me - Murrieta, California

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. read more

Went in to get my timing belt replaced on my 07 TL type S and got excellent service and customer service with prompt responses on concerns I had. Definitely a trust worthy shop I'd revisit even though I live all the way in Burbank. Em the owner knows his cars especially with Honda/Acura. read more

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 OEM parts at a reasonable price and speedy service. Well, tragedy struck shortly after and my motor blew on my way to work, most likely because I was starting to see signs that this was not a well kept car, and the stock motor finally gave out despite my maintenance efforts. Having just spent the amount it costs for a massive job like a full timing belt service, along with the fact that I was in a financially hard time having recently wrecked a car at the track, I was hurting. Em understood that, and hooked me up with a replacement motor at a price that couldn't be beat, along doing other things along the way like the steering rack. Unfortunately, tragedy struck again on that motor, but Em fought tooth and nail on the motor suppliers to make it right, and got me going on the road again with a good motor. Throughout the whole time, he kept me updated on what was going on, and what/when to expect. Fast forward, I now have a reliable Prelude thanks to Em and the team's hard work and persistence. If this was another shop, I'm sure I would have been turned away as a basketcase of problems. But Em is different; he doesn't just see you as a turnstile customer to get in and out like a revolving door of money; he does what he can and goes above and beyond, and even stays in touch afterwards to make sure you're still good. He goes so above and beyond I'm not even sure I should share because it might create false expectations; that's how good his service is. He doesn't just treat you like a customer, does the job, and sends you out the door; he keeps in touch, sees eye-level with you and your car, and makes sure everything is right. Needless to say, I will be taking all my Hondas to Em now, and I have already recommended and have had others take their car to him as well. When it comes to choosing a mechanic, you always question their authenticity versus their desires for profits; if they just want your money as soon as possible and push you out the door as soon as it's done. Em is hands down without a doubt authentic, and has great pride in his work, even long after the work's been done. read more

See all

This is the type of shop we need to see more of in the Temecula area. Three words that you will usually not see together Great/Fast/Reliable = Trumotive.

I was struggling to find a shop to align my car because it is very low, so I reached out to Em at Trumotive and they were happy to take me at their shop and fulfilled my specified alignment needs. Customer service is great and they are very professional, 10/10 recommend. read more

I was referred to Em from a good friend in the car business .... says he's fair and knowledgeable and honest. I just recently picked up an S2000 with 112,000 miles so I knew it needed a once over with fluids/filters/belts as a minimum. He found several other wear/tear issues while he looked at the undercarriage. He asked me to stop by and look so I know what's being recommended and needs replacement. I appreciated this as this is what a customer should see vs just being told it's gonna cost $$$. I took his advice and approved the necessary items. Overall the communication was stellar and on point . The bill came out as estimated and I felt it was money well spent ! I will be bringing in my 91' CRX soon and have him do another "once over" on it as well. I feel confident in his work because he came highly recommended and he himself has older Hondas too. Thank you Em, it's nice to see honesty and good work still exist in todays world. read more

Em is a great mechanic and knows his stuff. I have several Honda's that he services. He works on my S2000 and knows things that the HONDA dealer didn't know to do. It fixed my problem because Em knows his stuff. Thanks Trumotive! read more

My Go-to spot right here! Brought In my 02 accord for an oil change, and i had mentioned an issue with a wiring on my side marker, Em went ahead and took care of it real quick free of charge.

Boy, am I ever thankful that a friend recommended Em Tran (owner & technician) to me! A fuel injector on my 2015 Chevy Tahoe went out. I called the dealership and the cost of the repair was insane. So, I had a mobile mechanic come out to my house to take a look. He advised me that he could not do the repair because it would require a special tool. By this time I had been without my car for 4 days! I called a friend of mine who is a technician. He told me about his friends new shop and recommended I take my Tahoe there. By that afternoon my Tahoe was already in the shop and the part was ordered. The repair did not require a special tool for the repair and my car was finished by 10AM the following day! Not sure if the mobile tech just didn't want to do the job or not. If you're looking for a mechanic, Save yourself precious TIME and MONEY and go straight to Em Tran for all your vehicle repair and maintenance needs. I so glad that I now have a HONEST, friendly and reliable mechanic to take my vehicle to. Thanks again, Em! read more
