I've been using R&S automotive for years. Always a great experience and top shelf service. As a former auto mechanic I'm pretty picky and they have always finished my repairs to my satisfaction. Service: General repairs & maintenance

Amazing and caring service. We broke down in Santa Clarita and Tony cared for us and fit us in, despite a busy schedule, and got us back on the road as quickly as possible. And with a smile. Made our bad situation have a silver lining! Thank you!

I had a head gasket give out on my trip here from Houston. Way bigger problems than I needed to deal with at the time. Mario worked with me to ease the sting of the multiple-thousands of cost. Glen has done an amazing job on the work. I had major components replaced, and it looks original. So far, so good, on performance. I will revisit this review and let y'all know how it did going back to Houston, but I anticipate no trouble.

I would recommend R&S without hesitation. Fair warning, they are not the cheapest shop around, and they don't try to be. But you will get a professional job. 'You get what you pay for' still applies.

R&S was beyond wonderful when I brought my vehicle to them on no notice. They quickly inspected it and called me first thing the next morning with the problem, they fixed it that same day and I was able to pick my vehicle up that next afternoon. Their employees are helpful, knowledgeable, and personal. They did a fantastic job and I would recommend anyone in the area to them.

I've been here a few times over the past 5 years, mostly for simple repair jobs, such as oil changes or tire alignments/rotation. I have no complaints at all and every experience I've had here has been positive. I've dealt with Kevin and Eddie in recent memory and both have been upfront and appear to be honest. Prices are reasonable and the service is done quickly.

I always get a call later in the day saying my car is done. Nobody tries to up sell me to get extra work done. One time I asked them to check a light showing the tire pressure monitoring system was broken and they called me to give me an estimate on repairs. I declined those repairs but still wanted them to do the alignment. "No problem" was the response. Prerry simple and straightforward. I trust them to work on my cars and so did my Dad.

The team at R&S are true pros with the details and complexities of my '17 car. They promptly diagnosed and repaired a major component that the car dealership simply gave up on. I highly recommend their services to get the job done correctly and for a fair cost.

I moved from another city to Santa Clarita Valley and was looking for another automotive shop. I was recommended to R&S Automotive and I have been using them now for five years. Service writer Kevin is always friendly with lots of knowledge. When leaving R&S after my vehicle is service i feel safe in my vehicle. I highly recommend them.

R&S Automotive is a community establishment that has an environment similar to most dealership's service departments except R&S has no hidden agenda to up-sell services that are not really needed. They have a friendly, welcoming and clean environment. There is a clean and quiet waiting room with a snack concession machine, water, coffee with a clean and a easily accessible restroom.

They even have a shuttle service if needed. R&S has even advised when the vehicles issue is under the warranty or recall bulletin to actually take it to the dealership hence saving me unnecessary costs. When my driving age daughters owned their own vehicles I advised them to keep the maintenance up on their vehicles and sent them to R&S as it's my trusted go-to shop knowing that they would be safe, comfortable and not intimidated or talked down too with condescension.

Let me end this review to give a personal *thank you* to the professionalism of Eddie, Mario and all the unknown mechanics & technicians that have kept my entire families vehicles in tiptop shape.

Staff was not friendly, but fast service. Also, they provide documentation of your vehicle service. They show the old the measurement of tire alignment, and then the corrected measurement after. In which I have not experience that with other tire shop services. Service: Wheel alignment

I showed up late afternoon with a broken brake light switch and they took care of it in less than 30 min. Great and prompt service. Highly recommended! Service: Brakes

They were quick to identify the cause of my check engine light flashing. Then directed me to the nearest dealership that switched out my engine for a new one! Thank you so much! Service: General repairs & maintenance

My fiance's car was serviced at an out-of-state shop (we lived in Henderson NV) and immediately after her engine light turned on again. After going back and forth with them I took my loss and decided to get it looked at by our friends at R&S Automotive. R&S gave me a straight answer, no fluff, and was able to provide a solution in less than 24 hours.

The bottom line is to get your car examined and fixed by professionals. We're lucky to have had R&S catch the previous shop's mistake before any serious damage occurred.

Very professional- Reasonable rates; they do the work on time and give you good suggestions for upcoming work which may need follow up. They don't try to push work that does not need doing right away. Been coming here for several years for an older car. Service: General repairs & maintenance

This place is fantastic. They reach out via text or email randomly and ask how specific vehicles are doing and then when they follow up a day after service to make sure everything is good. The price is competitive, the guys are very attentive and nice, and they treat you like a friend. Great location also.across the street from BofA and Walgreens and several restaurants.

These guys are the best! As a retired auto tech myself, I can tell the difference between honest & fair technicians and those that are not. My only wish is that I lived closer to this shop so that I could bring my cars there more often. Life savers, literally! I would give them 10 start if I could. Simply the best.

We trust R & S to service all our cars! Locally owned, friendly service, able to make appointments when you need them and turnaround time is fast. Much better than dealerships!

When I stopped doing my own auto maintenance it was important to me to find a competent and trustworthy shop. R&S Automotive is everything a repair shop should be. The shop is very clean as are the technicians, no grease monkeys here. The staff is knowledgeable and provides easy to understand explanations of the work needing to be done. I found the cost of service and repairs to be very reasonable.

You can be confident that you will not be ripped-off at R&S Automotive. R&S Automotive also has a great waiting room with free coffee and Wi-Fi plus a wide variety of magazines to help pass the time.

This mechanic is my go to for any service needs. They are honest, efficient and good at what they do. Only drawback is you may have to wait for service due to their popularity. They have a large and loyal customer base. Worth the wait for honest and high quality service.

My car had a problem with a couple of sensors. R&S fixed the problem. What I really liked is their customer service follow up.

I went here last month to get a brake lamp inspection certificate for my recently renewed salvage car. The team at R & S seemed to me to be fair, reasonably priced, and quick (which I really appreciated after spending hours at the DMV). I will definitely be coming back here for that oil change I need this month!

I had never visited R&S but stopped in on the verbal recommendation of a friend. This was not the job the owner was going to retire on as I only needed a leaky valve stem replaced on a flat tire. I was in and out in under 15 minutes, received service with a smile and, because it was such a small job, I was charged nothing. Based on the overall vibe, cleanliness and general orderliness of the facility, I will certainly return to R&S when more substantive service is required.

One other thing. The tire in question was not near the wear bars as it was from a car with low annual mileage. The technician pointed out that I should think about replacing the tire as it was starting to show dry rot. We checked and the tire was almost ten years old. Thinking that the tech might be just trying to upsell me on four new tires, I checked out the topic of tire age and found that he was spot on that the tire was too old. Maybe he saved me a tire failure and accident in the not too distant future. Thanks R&S tech!

My mother Mary Crosby has been using this mechanic for several years now. She is elderly and they are always fair and courteous. They keep track of her vehicle needs and make thoughtful and never try to gouge or make unnecessary repairs. We appreciate them very much and highly recommend them.

Called for a quote on an alignment and was quoted 200 dollars lolz! That's more than the dealer. I don't cafe how certified they are because there's many other shops who are rated even higher and charge less! Definite no!

You will never find a more reliable, reasonably priced, and ethical team anywhere. I have used them for years and words cannot describe how much I have appreciated Eddie, Mario, and the entire team.

We dropped off my sons truck for a little TLC at our favorite mechanic in town before he takes it back to San Diego. They had it for two days (expected 3 days). Kevin just called to say, a) they were finished with the truck early and b) it was cheaper than they thought. Really - have you ever heard those words from a mechanic. Their prices are fair and reasonable, but not bargain, however I would challenge you to match the level of service and the honesty you receive from R&S Automotive in Newhall. I think this is the 13th vehicle they have taken care of for us over the years. Eddie, Mario and Kevin - thanks for always taking care of us.

Not happy. Was quoted for a road force balance and alignment over the phone. When I managed to get my truck over there. They raised the price by 75. They also quoted a high amount for tpms learning as well. Over 300 total. Went to another shop that I forgot about and got it done over 100 dollars less. What a waste of my time. Thank you nate!

My 2012 Chevy Camaro has needed a few repairs and R&S is certainly trust worthy. They specialize in performance cars (although I'm sure they can handle anything). Their prices on performance cars are competitive to the rest of the industry (they aren't a discount automotive shop). However from what I've learned, that when it comes to a performance car, you get what you pay for.

And these guys are straight shooters in respect to price and needed work. They won't try to upsell or oversell you something you don't need. They are also very quick and stand behind all the work they've done for me over the years.

I asked my husband why he was going to R&S for a tune up instead of Jiffy Lube. "They do an excellent job on my corvette.they're worth it." [Clyde has been taking his 2014 Vet ever since he bought the car. He trust their service, respect their integrity and they care as if its their own car.] Service: General repairs & maintenance

I trust R&S Automotive with my 22 year old Ford truck. They have kept it running very well for over 20 years. For anyone who is just not mechanical in nature, all you have to say to them is, "do what you would do for your mother or wife in taking care of her car". I know it seems sexist, but my truck is still running very well and I probably have another 150,000 miles before I have to replace it.

I just hope they are in business until it gives out, as I will need their help in choosing another truck/car and keeping it in great shape. PS - I do drive for a living so having a reliable car/truck is really important to me.

My truck lost all its transmission fluid as it sat in our driveway for 10 days. I got it down to R&S immediately. Prepared for the worst they had my truck ready in about four hours! I've been using this place for 15 years and I don't know anyone who treats you better for knowledge and or communication. They're the best repair shop in Santa Clarita! Thank you Nate for your help

TRUSTED. I now go out of my way to make sure I get to R&S for all service. Been taking my vehicles to R&S for a couple years. Workmanship has been great! But, the best part is their CUSTOMER SERVICE! I have never been happier with the service and communication I get from R&S.

Still impressed, still loyal, and will only bring my car's here. Nate is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Besides regular mechanic work I am also getting my oil changes here, and the price is better than Walmart and faster.

Now, 5 months later Dylan from R&S automotive responds to my reasonable critique by blaming the customer and assuming I've owned the vehicle all 8 years of its life, which is not true. And also the response is dishonest. It is commons knowledge among those who do smog checks that a check engine light will mean a failed smog, regardless. So knowing that, you both refused to inform me before hand or help me after.

So I hope other potential customers note the way a reasonable criticism is received: No humility, no promise of improved performance in the future, simply blame shifting and rudeness.
