Trumotive

"great knowledgeable and friendly staff and service was fast at a great price. also had a nut that came loose on a different car and the owner instantly diagnosed the problem and repaired it free of charge. i tried to offer him some money and he declined it. cannot recommend this shop enough and will be taking all my automotive work here from now on."

"Referred by another trusted mechanic. Great honest business. Friendly too. A mechanic you can trust is priceless."

"Trumotive had been repairing my car for years. They are fair and they get the job done. Em and Brenn are standup gentlemen. I recommend them hands down."

"We always go to Trumotive for all of our automotive needs. Brenn and Em are truly honest mechanics and won’t try to sell you up on things you don’t need. Always courteous and professional. Never had an issue with any our cars. We will always refer Trumotive to our family and friends!"

"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."
