RBMS Auto Care

Quality work, everything from scheduled maintenance all the way to motor builds. I recommend taking your Subaru here. They are aftermarket friendly. Great customer service.

RBMS is my go to place for my Subaru WRX. Mert and Winston are top notch mechanics and they can pretty much install anything and everything. Subaru’s seem to be their forte and you’ll see WRX’s and STI’s there. I love looking around their shop and seeing all the nice cars that are being worked on. There are some waiting for built motors and others waiting for different parts. They will do your regular maintenance work like oil changes but most people come to them to install some «performance parts» like exhausts and engine work. They have reasonable prices that sound like a bargain to me and they are always honest. It may be hard to reach them at times because they are busy working on cars but if you keep calling they will pick up.
They have a nice waiting room with free coffee, and xbox, and TV.

After hearing good things from friends in the car community, I decided to drop by RBMS after some issues with my car arose after a few bad experiences at local shops/​work done in the past. I went to RBMS for maintenance/​installs that I couldn’t easily handle on my own and Mert was always happy to squeeze me into his tight schedule and provided/​informed while the work got done in an efficient manner. My car had been in a miserable state after a plethora of issues but slowly/​surely we got the car back to tip top shape.
Over time/​lots of conversation and recognizing the quality of work Mert and his coworkers @ RBMS performed, I decided to go all in and essentially rebuild the car from the bottom up. We built the motor, swapped the drive train and addressed much more. After completion I cant speak highly enough of their work. The build quality, attention to detail, and completed job were all second to none. Throughout the build Mert communicated with me at all times, was ever mindful of anything that came up during the build, and was honest and up front which I genuinely appreciated.
After visiting all the shops I have over the years, I can say confidently that I’ve never met an ace like Mert and his crew @ RBMS, and my car will never see another mechanic!

I took my Subaru Forester here a couple of months ago for regular servicing and to check to see if anything needed replacing. I don’t drive very far and it never breaks down, so I have to remind myself to take it in at least once a year. Mert changed the oil, checked it over and test drove it, and just recommended replacing the tires. The bill was so low I worry that the company can afford to stay in business! This has become my favorite car repair shop.

Mert and crew worked extensively on my cars fueling system about 2 months ago. A friend of mine had his done by them and since the system I had in mind was quite similar I chose RBMS to take care of the job.
What I had done
–Fuel Injectors
–Fuel Rails
–Fuel Pressure Regulator
–Surge Tank
–Dual Inline Pumps
–Inline filter
–Ethanol Content Analyzer
–Race –8an Fuel Lines
–Turbo
–Intercooler
–Radiator
–Thermostat
–Radiator Hoses
Very long hefty list of work. Took approx 1.5 weeks but left the car there over my vacation so it worked out perfectly.
1 time job and guess what NO FUEL LEAKS WHATSOEVER. Everything went perfectly. With so much extensive work, one leak at full pressure may have been possible but Mert got this all done without error.
Car made a whopping 386whp/​397wtq on a decently conservative tune. Let’s hope for more next time!!!
Very happy with their services and will be back for more. Check my uploaded photos for the work done!

Hands down on the best shops for Subarus. Mert and Jojo both super professional courteous guys. They take pride in their work and provide very reasonable pricing for their services. I was in a bind during the weekend with my wife’s car having a misfire on cylinder #3 on her Outback. Going down to once car for the family is really inconvenient. Dropped the car off Monday morning thinking it wouldn’t get repaired until Tuesday. That wasn’t the case and was up and running on Monday afternoon. If you’re in the east bay and have need work done to your Subaru this is the spot. Not to mention very clean looking shop with lots of eye candy cars always being worked on.

I had a great experience getting my Focus ST upgraded from stage 1 to stage 3. I took the risk on going to a Suburu shop on the recommendation of a trusted source, and because of their reviews and reputation for doing good work. I’m really happy with the installation — zero problems, and Mert is a real gear-​head who obviously loves cars and makes the effort to do the job right. I recommend RBMS for Focus ST work, especially when it comes to exhaust, intercooler, and intake.

I can’t find anything bad to say about RBMS. Mert is a great guy. Very straight forward and honest. I had some work done on my STi here, dropped off one night, picked up the next night. Everything went smooth and as expected. Nice to know there are still people you can trust out there. If i need more work done to the STi, ill definitely return. Thanks!

Place is a little hard to find but I’ll take my Subie here from Fairfield because these guys do good work. I’ve been to RBMS twice first for Compression and Leak down test, because another shop local to me tried to pull me into a motor build. Reasonable prices oppose to the dealers $ 200+ per hour. Friendly guys too.

Car guys (or girls) are very particular about who they’ll take their vehicles to for service. So when I needed some work done on my WRX in the east bay, I sought the opinions of a local Subaru enthusiast group, and they all came back with high praise for RBMS.
It’s very clear that these guys know Subaru (and Mitsubishi too) and they understand what car guys want. They did a brake install and axle repair for me with affordable and friendly service.
I know exactly where I’ll be taking my Subarus from now on. Thanks RBMS!

This place is the best! Mert and Jojo are super nice guys, funny, honest, and down to earth. If you want a reliable mechanic place with a virtual library of car knowledge, this is the place to go. They work quickly and expertly; so much so that I would trust them with my first child. And my second. [Disclaimer: I don’t have any children, but you get the point.] I’ve had a downpipe, midpipe, and springs installed here. As long as I need car work done, I will be going here!

Mert is awesome!!! Does great work and takes the extra time to make sure the work is done clean. Communicated with me every step of the install to make sure it was how I wanted it!!!

This is by far one of the best, if not THE best shop that I’ve taken my car to. I rarely let someone else work on my car, but I 100% trust Mert (He was the head mechanic at GST Motorsports, another great Subaru shop) and his team.
Mert at RBMS is simply an honest mechanic. He will tell you exactly what is wrong. None of that shady mechanic business. He tells you exactly what needs to be done to get your car running right and on the road. Another plus is that he stays true to his word and does the job QUICK and RIGHT at a fair price. Furthermore, he is really knowledgable about Subarus.
From my two experiences here, it was always a positive experience. I have found my new mechanic, and won’t go anywhere else to get work done.
PS. The location is a little hard to find. For future Unilocalers, the location is right behind Tacos Urupan on Industrial Blvd.
Thank you RBMS!

I’ve gone back to see Mert and Jojo a few more times and they’ve continued to do great work. they’ve worked on my subaru (91 legacy), my toyota (87 mr2), my commuter (96 accord) and each time, they perform to expectations and more.
thanks again. continue the great work.

Being in the automotive field for over twenty years I have grown very picky about shops. I needed to get a service on my SO’s car and RBMS came up with strong support on the forums. even though a holiday weekend was ahead and they were super busy they were able to fit me in. From the minute I walked in I knew why they were suggested to me. This is an enthusiast shop with no frills or gimmicks. they clearly
love cars and it shows in their work and what they drive.
The service was done super fast at an excellent rate. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any level of service!

Mert and Jojo and staff are awesome! There’s not really a whole lot more to say.
I love cars and expect a lot when it comes to mechanics, performance tuning, and autocare. This is my go-​to place! Mert and Jojo are super friendly and super responsive to your needs and concern. More importantly, they can get the job done correctly in a reasonable amount of time.
I’ve had my share of shops doing lousy work on my car. If you’ve ever waited months to get your car back… or recently repaired car doesn’t doesn’t seem right… or the mechanic/​staff aren’t responsive to your inquiries… Know that RBMS Auto Care are not any of these things.
RBMS can get busy, but know this… there’s a reason why they are busy, and that is because they do good work. Customers go where they know the work will be done quickly and correctly.
I recommend RBMS to all my friends and family.
I rate RBMS 5 stars for their quality work, quick turn around, and responsive and honest staff. Mert, Jojo, and staff has done everything from oil changes to timing belt services on my cars, and I will continue to come to them for future services!

Mert and Jojo are awesome.
I’ve been to their shop multiple times now and I would highly recommend anyone to go to them.
They’ve worked on my 2007 Subaru and a 2013 Elantra and were able to diagnose/​fix the problem super fast.
They were extremely kind and thoughtful as well.
Thanks Mert and Jojo!

This place was recommended to me by a family member, and it’s one of the best auto shops I’ve been to. Mert and team are very welcoming and answer any questions one may have. Took my sti for some much needed maintenance, and they did a superb job. They execute quality work at reasonable prices. I will definitely make them my go to auto shop for all my sti needs!

A little hard to find at the first visit, but once you find it, you don’t forget! They are very knowledgeable about all car repair. Just call ahead to see if they’re busy. Better yet– make an appointment.
There’s even a comfortable place to wait while they work on your car. I love the service here!

Its a little hard to find. They are at the very end of an automotive business park.
If you want a cushy couch to sit on, freshly brewed coffee, and sparkling water while you wait for your car, this isn’t the place.
This is a place to go if you want your car fixed, you want it done right, at a better than fair price, and you get treated with respect.
Mert and his crew know whats up; they have been in the business for years, and now, they have finally opened up. their own shop.
Mert is a Subaru whiz! But I would bring an import or domestic here.
They do autocross too, so they know how to make a car go fast!
