I had a crew from out of state get broke down in Birmingham due to a bad alternator. I contacted RC Motors prior to having our van towed there for service to ensure they could get to it. I was told a deposit would be required, but that they could get to it if I got it towed to them. After having it towed to their shop, my crew was informed it would be the next day before they could look at the vehicle. I then had to locate another shop who could look at it, reroute the tow to another location, and incurring additional expense. I chose to call RC because they were a Repair Pal certified location, but absolutely did not appreciate the misinformation initially given to me when I was very clear about needing to get the vehicle to a shop so I could get my crew back on the road to Dallas.

Hands down the best customer service and willingness to have a job done right. I had a transmission replaced with these cats and although a lengthy process, Harley was an absolute professional throughout the whole process. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy I will only be taking my care here from now on and I recommend you do the same.

I didn't have a good experience here. I came in knowing my O2 sensors needed to be replaced, but was told it was several "things" and an issue with my transmission, but I know that was a code from years ago. I do NOT recommend this company

I highly recommend RC Motors to everyone!! They have taken great care of our trucks. If I call Harley and need something, he always takes excellent care of us, he is our rock star! He has exceeded my expectations over and over again. I had the pleasure of working with Chris while Harley was on vacation and he is excellent to work with as well. We have been doing business with RC Motors for the past 5-6 years and they have never let us down. I recommend that you visit RC Motors to have your vehicle serviced and repaired, very trustworthy and provide fast and friendly service. Thanks to Harley and the technicians for taking excellent care of our trucks!!

I would check their work before you leave. I had 2 tires changed here and left trusting the work. I drove around for 2 weeks before I went to get an oil change and an Express Oil employee noticed I only had one lug on the reattached front tire. Highly recommend the Express Oil change.

Sold me a lemon…. 05 jeep grand Cherokee….everything was in tip top condition he told us. He even said that it was the vehicle of a longtime client of theirs, and he had personally been wanting to keep up with the maintenance on it over the years. Literally haven’t even had it for a week and have barely even driven it 30 miles. Now they are saying that it’s not their problem… I beg to differ.

This shop was absolutely wonderful, great communication. They did a fantastic job of making my car run like it used too. I brought it in to replace my turbo and they fixed it and other problems it had in a decent amount of time. Thanks to Harley and the technician who fixed it!

Chris and the team diagnosed and got my truck running great. They diagnosed and repaired the problem and nothing more. The cost of the repairs were very reasonable and everyone I talked to was very respectful. Cannot recommend enough!

I have a older family Buick LeSabre, and I know I will be running up against more maintenance issues but loved the smooth - ride. RC Motors is fair, honest, and performs highly professional work. Car runs great! Will not go anywhere else. Thank you! and and thanks Harley!

I have never set foot on RC Motors property, but that will change. I have 1995 Bronco that was needing some front end work. RC was unable to help me due to time constraints, but they didn’t hesitate to point me in the direction of another shop who might be able to. That is an example of “character”. Character is something that is not always present in such a competitive market, but this is also what sets a business apart.

I wish I could give this shop 10 stars! RC Motors was able to get my car in, diagnose the issue, and fix it in just 1 day while many other local shops had two week backlogs. Everyone I dealt with was kind and explained to me what was going on. They communicated with me every step of the way, and I felt that me and my car were in good hands. The rates were reasonable and much cheaper than dealership service. My car has been running better than ever since I got it back. I will be bringing my car back the next time it needs service!

They basically did nothing... Charged me 100 bucks for me telling them whats wrong with my car
Dec 05, 2021
They was very rudeAnd disrespectful.I couldn't even walk through the shop with the guy that I supposed to talk to concerning my car last Friday. They made me walk out the shop and 0walk around to the front door. That i wasn't even welcome walk through. Also going try to ucharge me $500 for pulling my own cat to shop. Also we had already talk day before that and it wasn't a problem .

Very respectful and professional! They were honest with me on everything going on with my truck and the amount of patience they have with their customers goes up and beyond!! I highly recommend RC Motors!!

Chris and RC Motors have worked twice on my car – once on engine repair and the other time replacing my brakes. I was very happy with their work and they completed both jobs very quickly. Top notch customer service and friendly as well. Thank you!!

Great bunch of folks. Diagnosed and fixed my car very quickly. Has never run better than it does now. Prices are very reasonable. Initially had it at another shop in the area that wanted the same money just to diagnose the issue (which they got wrong) that RC Motors charged to to diagnose AND fix the it. Will definitely be using this place from now on.

My mother and I had a flat tire and pulled Into the parking lot. Within minutes 2 gentleman walked out to offer help. We were back on the road in 7 minutes!! Free of charge. 😁Definitely check them out for your service needs!!

Top notch auto detailing, very quick turn around and performed the service on time. 8 year old car looks just like new again.

While I did not go to RC Motors Auto Repair for service, I did have occasion to visit after having a flat tire right in front of their establishment. Two very kind and professional gentlemen graciously offered to change the tire and completed the task in seven minutes! They refused any payment for their service and said helping folks is what we are supposed to do. These are people I would trust and with whom I would gladly take my vehicle for service and repair.
