What we work on
- 01
Diagnostics
Before anything gets replaced, we find out what's actually wrong and walk you through it — parts, wear, and what's urgent versus what can wait.
- 02
Brakes
Pads, rotors, and lines inspected and replaced, with the worn parts set aside so you can see how much life was actually left.
- 03
Engine repair
Gas and diesel engine work, from a stalling issue to a full teardown, on the truck that has to get you home.
- 04
AC service
Recharge, leak checks, and compressor work so the cab is livable on the drive between Ramona and the coast.
- 05
Smog & inspection
State smog checks and inspections handled on-site, with any failure explained before you decide how to fix it.
- 06
Batteries & electrical
Battery testing, alternator and starter diagnosis, and wiring issues traced down instead of swapped and hoped for.

Show, don't tell
The worn or failed part comes off the truck and goes on the bench so you can see it yourself.
Diagnose before you decide
You get a diagnosis and a plan before any repair work begins, not after.
Straight talk on urgency
We tell you what needs fixing now and what can reasonably wait, and let you choose.
A Ramona shop built around trucks and the people who drive them far
RPM Truck N Auto runs out of a working garage on the Ramona side of the county — steel siding, concrete floor, engine parts laid out where you can see them. Miguel and the crew work on gas and diesel alike, and more than one customer has called in from out of state to coordinate a repair on a truck that's nowhere near home. The approach stays the same either way: find the actual problem, explain it in plain terms, then fix it. Trucks that tow, haul, or commute the back roads out here get worked on like it matters.
Say what the car's doing
A call or a text. The sound, the light, when it happens — plain words are enough.
Get eyes on it before a number
A real estimate comes after the car's been looked at. You approve it before any wrench moves.
The work gets done
What was agreed, at the price that was agreed. Anything new that turns up mid-job gets approved the same way first.
Pick it up and look it over
Ask what was replaced, and ask for the old parts back — that's a normal thing to ask.
Before any shop touches your car
Four flags worth knowing — whatever shop you choose
Ask these of anyone quoting your car — us included. A good answer costs nothing; a bad one saves you the whole repair.
A diagnosis over the phone
Nobody can hear a wheel bearing through a phone. A real answer starts with the car in the shop.
An estimate that can't be itemized
Parts, labor, and what each one fixes. A single lump number hides what you're paying for.
Work started without a yes
Nothing gets replaced before you approve it. “We went ahead and…” is the sentence to walk away from.
Hesitation about the old parts
Asking to see what came off your car is normal. The reaction to that question tells you plenty.
From Ramona out to Poway, Lakeside, and Julian

Questions
Do you work on diesel trucks?
Yes — diesel engine work, including Powerstroke pickups, is a regular part of what comes through the shop, alongside gas engines and everyday trucks.
Can you help if I'm not local or my truck broke down away from Ramona?
We've coordinated repairs with mechanics in other states before, working through what a truck needs even when it isn't sitting in our own bay. Call and we'll figure out the right approach together.
How do you decide what actually needs fixing?
We run the diagnostic first — scanner, visual inspection, hands-on check — and show you what we find before recommending anything. You get the full picture, then you decide what to move forward with.
