Our story

A Van Nuys Shop Built on Trust

We've been fixing cars in Van Nuys for over two decades, and most of our customers have been with us just as long. Carlos started this shop with a simple idea: do the work right, explain what's actually wrong, and never charge for more than the car needs.

We handle everyday maintenance and complex diagnostic work on any make or model, and when a car needs body work or paint after a collision, our shop next door takes care of it under the same roof. If insurance is involved, we deal directly with the adjuster so you don't have to.

We're often booked out because of it, but our customers tell us it's worth the wait. That reputation, built one honest repair at a time, is what keeps families bringing us every car they own.

  • Family-owned and operated by Carlos
  • On-site body shop for paint and collision work
  • We advocate directly with insurance adjusters
  • Same trusted mechanics for over 20 years

What customers say

“I cannot recommend RC Automotive & Collision enough! My Audi was vandalized, and they took care of everything from start to finish. They immediately went to bat for me with the insurance company, advocating to ensure my car was repaired properly, not just quickly. They started working on it the moment the adjuster left, which I really appreciated since I didn't have a rental. They prioritized my car while taking the time to do the job right, explaining exactly why they needed extra time for the paint and parts to dry and set properly. The final result is flawless, it looks brand new. If you need quality work and honest service, this is the place. Thank you Carlos and family!”

Brandi Skelton

“The most honest and nicest mechanic ever. Been bringing all 4 of our cars to Carlos for more than 20 years. He is a true professional, knowledgeable and very fair. Can't say enough good things about his shop and team. He also has a body shop next to his mechanic shop and they do quality work there too!”

Keyvan Eghbali

“The team here at RC are superb, honest and the best mechanics in the business. They don't over charge, they are kind, patient and very thorough in diagnosing and solving complex problems and easy ones. I am always recommending them to friends and family. They are extremely booked and very busy, be patient. They get so many customers that they have a full schedule for repair. Happy to recommend them! Don Carlos and his crew are the best!”
