“Went there this morning for the first time. Had one destroyed tire needed a new one. Got there at 8am, done and completed at 825 and the two guys were working two other customers at the same time. Don’t let the tires and autos and cars and dirt turn you off. These guys know tires, they are economical, easy to work with and very good at what they do. I will return when needed in the future.”
“My husband has been going to Johnny's for years because he is honest his prices are fair and frankly is just a nice respectable family man. Thank you for your service as always!”
“Evolution Automotive was my go-to shop for the 10 years I lived in Arcadia. Their service was always excellent, prices fair, and I could always trust the work being done. After relocating to the Bay Area 9 years ago, I still haven’t been able to find another shop that provides the same level of service, honesty, and reasonable repair costs.
Recently, I was reminded why this place is unmatched. While driving to San Diego for a wedding, I noticed noises under my engine and discovered the rear end of my splash guard had come loose. The next morning, I stopped by Evolution Automotive. Even though the shop was already packed at 8:30 a.m., the owner told me I’d need to wait a little. As soon as he finished with another car, he immediately lifted mine and fixed the issue in just 5 minutes.
When I asked how much I owed, he simply said, “No charge. A thank you will make me happy.” I even tried to pay for his time, but he politely declined. Thanks to his kindness and quick help, I made it to San Diego without worries and was able to attend the wedding stress-free.
What stands out most about the owner is that while he may not look outwardly welcoming at first glance, he is truly a problem solver who cares deeply about his customers. That combination of skill, honesty, and genuine care is what makes Evolution Automotive so special.
If you live in Arcadia or anywhere nearby, consider yourself lucky to have this shop in your neighborhood. It’s rare to find an auto repair business you can trust this much.”
“I have a 2016 Hyundai Accent which needed a new bumper and some work done on the passenger side bottom portion of the car. I brought it to AJ's and met Joe (the owner) and Ernesto. They are very professional, thorough, and detail oriented. I just picked up my car and it looks brand new. I am so happy with the results and the overall experience was amazing. Thank you Joe and Ernesto for such a positive experience.”
“The level of service here was just incredible! They went out of their way to work around my schedule, they were extremely detailed with what they saw and how they were going to fix it, and were super fair with pricing. I asked around and no one else reached back out to me with the same level of responsiveness and care.”
“10/8/24.
Had a nail in my tire. Called the shop and they were able to take me in right away. Friendly and fast service. Thank you so much! This is now my go to auto shop!”

“I really trust the mechanics at Arcadia Tires. They always try to give you the best deal with quality car parts. They are honest, forthcoming, and friendly staff. I ONLY come here to take care of my car.”
“These guys are legit. They never try to upsell additional services. They are priced very fairly. They don’t overpromise or underdeliver. The work (on my Honda CR-V) is always well done and within the time frame. Plus, they are friendly & courteous. They have my business forever.”
“Most of us don't look forward to visiting a body shop. But when the need arises, Joey's IS the place. My Honda's front bumper took a strong uppercut from a curb, knocking it ajar. Joey:
1. Listened to me, what I wanted. I was hoping to salvage the large plastic bumper IF possible (less waste). Other shops just said they'd replace everything (easy labor, more parts).
2. Rough estimate was lower than other shops.
3. Good reviews from other customers
4. Convenient location
5. State Farm approved
As I needed the car, I didn't take it in for the actual repair for another 2 weeks. Joey remembered me and what we'd discussed, showing you're a person. Never felt rushed in our discussions; Joey took the time for a personal service. He said he'd call in a couple of hours with the exact quote. 2 hours later, he did, and it was less than the rough estimate. He did need to replace the bumper but he explained why. Said it would be ready in 3 working days. 3rd day, he called, said it was ready.
Repairs were excellent, bumper seamless, no wind noise.
Excellent work, excellent customer service, excellent price, all done in excellent time. Hoping to not have to revisit a body shop, but if I ever do, Joey's would be the place I'd go.”
“This is my first time going to this shop, and I will be returning for any further work. I can say that this business is very put together and professional. Konto and Heru we're friendly, communicative, and honest about the work that needed to be done on my vehicle. They did not try to upsell me or work on other things and charge me later for it. The price was affordable and accurate for the work that needed to be done, and it looks as though it was done very efficiently. It's comforting knowing that there are still honest, hard-working, and efficient business owners. I was very impressed.”
“RLA Automotive took exceptional care of me and my Porsche 911 Turbo S. From start to finish, it was thorough, honest, and highly knowledgeable. They handled all necessary services and repairs with precision and professionalism, giving me complete confidence in their work.
A special shoutout to Chris, who was incredibly professional, hospitable, and transparent throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made the experience seamless and stress free.
It was also reassuring to see multiple GT3's and other exotic cars in the shop clearly a place that Porsche and exotic car owners trust. I highly recommend RLA Automotive to anyone looking for top tier service for their Porsche. This is the place to go if you want your car treated right.”
“Friendly clean place. Organized, serviced my car quickly. You can go to their website and request a call to make an appointment, which is what I did. Nice family owned long time business. I will be back.”
“Zack is the best mechanic in town. Extremely hardworking, very knowledgeable and honest. I had trouble passing the smog test on my 2003 Toyota Corolla. He diagnosed, fixed the issue and helped me pass the smog test. This world needs 100s of Zacks to help resolve car problems quickly and with sincerity.”

“Ivan and his brother Paul really run this place with excellent service and with honesty. They never try to over sell anything out yet to get you to get unnecessary staff. I've been coming here for almost 15 years. They can fix most anything. They prices are fair.”
“He is the best mechanic ever!! He tells you exactly what's wrong with your car and never tries to make you get something you don't need! He is a honest mechanic. My entire family and my friends go to Carlos. He is really nice. You have an issue with your car take it to him.”
“I highly recommend Romo Forklift Tires due to high honesty and fast responses. It has truly been a pleasure to have been able to contract this company, in all honest trust. I highly recommend this family owned business. Very kind and sweet family, very quick to meet the needs of others. :)”
“Alex is Indotech's owner and if there's anybody better versed in keeping Mazda Miatas in top shape on this side of the Pacific I'd be stunned.

“I bought a used motorcycle here last month and the process was quick and easy. Lyon was very knowledgeable and gave me what he knew about what the motorcycle's current maintenance looked like and made me feel confident in my purchase. The Vstrom 650 still runs great and I expect it to keep performing great for many miles to come.”
“I've used their services twice and twice I've been amazed by their professionalism and attention to detail/service. First time I needed an emegency tire patch for an embedded nail in the tread. They were done in 20-30 mins and not once did they try and sell more on any other services or useless or unnecessary charges. I went back a second time for a tire rotation and oil change and same thing, quick, fair price, and friendly/professional and I encountered no after-work issues that would hint at possible sabotage. It's hard to find trustworthy mechanics that won't try and upsell you and/or screw you over on the work done but I think these guys are legit. For tire patches, oil changes or tire rotations at least, I can honestly say these guys are the ones to check out if you' live in Arcadia or in the surrounding areas.”
“Java Motors is conveniently located across from the 99 Ranch Market plaza and next to the Valero gas station. This place is a gem for car maintenance - they work an all sorts of cars! They offer extremely affordable and prompt service. I got my Tesla tires rotated for just $20. My first visit was on a Friday afternoon, and a line of cars was being worked on. Ivan, one of the staff, kindly suggested I come earlier next time and assured me he'd remember I needed my tires rotated. He inflated my tires for free that day. Three weeks later, I returned on a Friday at 9am, and to my surprise, Ivan immediately recognized me and asked, "Here for tire rotation?" I didn't expect such personal attention! Victor, the mechanic, got to work on my car almost right away. He rotated the tires quickly and thoroughly. I had initially gotten a quote from Tesla for $128 for the same service, so I truly appreciate Java Motors' honesty, affordability, and kind approach. I'll be coming back for future car maintenance!”
“I have been taking my cars here for 10 years now! I’m from The OC originally. Never done me wrong! Saved me on loosing both my cars with issues… I drive a lot for work and stoked to have a trust worthy mechanic/friend in this area. He won’t do you wrong and you will not get ripped off!!

“I grew up around cars and worked with cars as a teenager at my dad's shop. Having easy access to a shop was such a privilege. Once my dad retired I needed to find a place that was honest and integral. T&M auto was recommended by a friend and I've had Daniel as my mechanic for several years now. He's a really nice person and always comes through when I need help. I even brought my nephew here after gifting him a car. I wouldn't want him to go anywhere else, as I believe Daniel will always take care of him. I'll be moving up north but when I visit, I'll be coming here still cause finding a good mechanic that's honest, reliable and doesn't over charge is hard to come by.
Highly recommend!!!”
“Stopped by to have a tire patched because of slow leak due to a nail. Price was about market rate. However, wait time was long (about an hour) even I came in at my appointment time.”
“Every time I take my car to RTMotoworks I’m reminded of the money that I wasted and the poor quality of service that I so often got taking it to the dealer. Always feel like I now get fair cost and the best possible service with RTM.”
