Hi, I'm Mike Wright. I am the owner of RM Automotive. I started this business to fill a need in the valley. I am very proud of the fact that, with my wife Nancy, we have been servicing the San Fernando valley in the same location for 20 years. I wanted to give our customers the specialized auto repair and service for Asian import vehicles only. I wanted to make our service high quality and deliver better service than the dealerships and the other independents that don't specialize. I have been fortunate to service Asian imports, especially the Honda and Toyota brand of vehicles for over 30 years.
Feel free to contact us on the form below if you have any questions. Even if you don't see an open position above, we're always looking to hear from good people.
