Wouldnt pass smog they said it was the cat that needed replacing. So after trying to fix it myself for the past year. I let them change the cat at a good price. Now my truck passed smog and runs great. Thank you Ray and crew. Great guys.

First time and last. Very kind but overcharged. $300 to check the ASB and diagnosis a suspension noise. Could not reproduce the ASB issue and found a broken sub frame. Sure I owe them but $300 is way too much in my view. Great place if you want to pay premium.

I personally know Ollie at Ray-A-Motive. He gave me 3 quotes on different tires, this way I was able to chose the best option that fit my needs and budget. He was very informative,honest & helpful. When I took my vehicle in Jake took good care of me. The work was done exactly when he said it would be. Thanks guys! You definitely have a new repeat customer. ☺️

Review №13

I was fortunate in not having to drive the the vehicle I brought in everyday, so I could leave it with RayAMotive for an extended period of time. I had a difficult issue with my engine that I couldnt fix after a lot of work and effort, so I brought it to Ray. They had worked on it a year ago, and with some time the problem was found. Part of the corrective work that was done involved a previous part that was installed a year earlier, and they replaced that part at no charge! Runs great now at 100,000 miles and I am hoping to get that much more from the engine!

Ray-A-Motive is a exceptional team of personable individuals who are customer service oriented, fair, and gets the job done. The mechanics are well seasoned in their trade, and are knowledgeable on a wide variety of years, makes, and models. A lot of shadey mechanic shops out there- this is definitely not one of them. Reliable transportation is maintained by reliable mechanics. Do yourself a favor and take it to Ray-A-Motive, a place you can trust.

Excellent 60M checkup on 2015 Volkswagen Passat.Price slightly less than dealership quote, but appointment set 24 hours prior to requested day/time was honored. Job done while I waited - in their comfortable waiting area. Good people.

Good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good so if you want your vehicle done right the first time bring it here. Oliver is very helpful and knowledgeable I’ve brought my 62 Chevy Impala here for some repairs and each time they did a great job so I’d recommend them to anybody looking for a really good repair shop.

Been having my vehicles serviced at Ray A Motive for over 20years and have always been satisfied with their experienced professional staff and their service. Autos are getting more complicated and Ray A Motive staff are always on top of the necessary education needed to service these vehicles. I trust them and glad to know an auto service shop I can depend on providing great service at a fair price.

They take care of all our vehicles for our business :) They go out of their way to help us with problems, over the phone, if we are out on jobsites with our vehicles. When our vehicles are in their shop, they get them back to us in a timely manner, so we can use them ASAP. Which we appreciate so much!

Very professional and friendly. They do a great job in explaining everything that needs to happen to avoid surprises. The waiting room is clean and hospitable. A well run establishment that offers a much better experience than the typical dealership when mechanical or maintenance work is needed. Highly recommended.

Review №32

Awesome service, This is the only place that can perform a perfect alignment on my truck. I have been to many many places to align my tires on my 2011 tundra. Places that include firestone, just tires, all star tires, and many more. Rays shop has the hospitality of a close neighbor or family friends house! Highly recommend. The extra price I pay becomes an investment to my vehicles because of the one and done theory. The job is always completed the first time I drop off my vehicle! The only thing I absolutely hate is that rays shop is only open from Monday- Friday. Really would love to visit these guys on the weekends, as for I work during the week and it’s hard to make it over before they close.

Review №41

They are not cheap, however, they are worth it because the service has ALWAYS been fantastic, the problem gets fixed the first time you take it in, no back and forth. Oliver in the front desk, is the best, because he goes out of his way to take care of the problem even when I dont know what the problem is. I highly recommend Ray a Motive because I been going to them for the last 15 years. I believe that my cars last a long time because only they get to fix it.

Review №50

One of the best places Ive ever been for auto repair, its a big place as they also specialize in trucks and RVs. If you have an engine problem thats difficult to diagnose or find then this is the place to bring your auto to, was surprised that I didnt need an appointment to get my vehicle looked at the very next morning.The place is also a modern and clean facilities with a nice waiting room, with wifi, outlets, coffee and complimentary snacks which says alot about the rest of the place and friendly professional personnel.Surrounding area seemed safe / no high crime area. If your going to step out for lunch, be sure to ask Where is the Jack In The Box that is very near there but hidden from view for a budget quick meal.was surprised that it is not a AAA facility, the service I got was AAA like. type.

The guy who used to do repairs on my car moved away, so I had to find a new place. I went to several other shops, but was unsatisfied with the quality of work they did. Finally, I went to Ray-a-motive and wont go anywhere else. Everyone there is honest and they do great work.

Review №55

Ive had my toyota serviced here once or twice with good service but I had them check out a 1998 town n country mini van that i inherited to see what it needed. I knew it could use belt, rear shocks and front struts, i told them about a small oil leak and indicator lights on dash (ABS and A/C). about 5 hours and we talk about work that they recommend. At a quote that was almost twice as much as the van was worth i just had them put on new belt and that was it. Picked it up and noticed no tach or speedo??? Indicator lights still on with no reason as to why. They didnt look at oil leak, couldnt even air up 2 low tires. Now i know they put it on a rack cuz when i inspected the undercarriage a 2x4 was stuck to the body. Turns out the oil psi sending is leaking. Sorry Ray a motive i will not be coming back for any future repairs.

This place is a sham- took my toy hauler in with a brake problem. Told them I that I thought the electrical was good, but the brakes were not grabbing properly. I told them I was looking to get out that day, and even said there would be a little extra in the repair for them if they could get me on the road that day. They called me shortly after and said all the brakes were showing grease inside the drums, really all four.... They then said they would need to replace all the drums backer plates etc. for a price of $2100.00. I told them no thanks now the facts.... Now that the trip was canceled I took the trailer home and pulled the drums myself (they assumed I was not mechanical)- there was grease in one drum, the rest were dry as a bone. Lastly I called a local RV repair place that was my first choice (too busy to get me in that day) and they told me that even if all drums needed to be replaced it would be no more than $700.00 max. So please stay away from these guys unless overpaying for unneeded work is your cup of tea. Ohh and I had t pay them $106.00 just to get the trailer back, they had my truck so what to do.As a follow up since I dont have the room to do the repairs myself, I took the trailer to Deluxe RV, professional and courteous, with a total bill of $220.00. Breaks work great. Also as an aside, if you look at Rays response on yelp he indicates part of my complaint was in regards to not getting the repairs done that day. My bad experience has nothing to do with that issue, it was just a request if possible (and I realized probably wishful thinking) . Here is the bottom line $2100.00 at Rays and 220.00 at Deluxe RV. You decide.

Let me tell you about this shop!! the best is what i can say, some years back i bought a brand new Toyota Camry and for the life of me i couldnt get the car to drive straight so i took it back to the dealership where i bought it and they re-did the front alignment, in fact over the next three weeks i took it back again to deal with the same issues and they could never solve the problem, new car you think it would drive straight down the road..so i brought my car to Ray-A-Motive and s/w Ray, he took it for a test drive came back to the shop and told me sometimes the alignment can be corrected by resetting the strut,( meaning-loosening the strut bolts and re-positioning the strut, that was back in 2006 so to this day the car still drive just the way it should, Now with this last repair i had, the same results, my 2006 Chrysler pacifica broke down, had a could of people look at it sense it was just sitting at my work and was told it needed a complete engine, sounded pretty correct, well if that was the case i was going to have Ray-A-Motive do the work, towed car there and quickly Ray called me back and told me that i didnt need and engine rather a couple of parts broke on the top end-- saving me about $3000.00 right off the bat, got car back and runs just like when i first purchased it.. thanks Ray-A-Motive you have my car care needs for life..Nice to not have to worry whether the repairs wear done correctly... oh hey Great people!!!

I had never used Ray-A-Motive before, but after my 1988 Toyota truck failed its first smog check ever, they were the closest smog check repair station to my home. During the check, they found that my truck had been vandalized. BBs in the gas lines and razor cuts to vacuum hoses. Due to health issues my truck had been sitting out in the desert for 5 months as well. The carbureator had to be rebuilt, and the catalytic converter had failed, so it too needed replacement. To make a longer story shorter, when I got the truck back, it was running like brand new. Well done Ray-A-Motive and thank you. I will recommend you over and over!!
