Luckily, it’s easy to get excellent service in this region—simply visit your nearest Ramona Tire & Service Center location! Our company has been a local fixture since 1969, giving us the experience needed to get your car back in working condition ASAP.
Our Car Auto Repair Services
If you need auto service in Southern California, you’re not alone. In fact, just about every driver has experienced car problems at some point in their life. The best step you can take to resolve these issues is choosing the right auto repair shop to take care of them for you. At Ramona Tire, we can work on the following.
Brake Repair
It’s a simple truth—you can’t be a safe driver without functional brakes. However, it’s no secret that brake systems are complicated and intricate. Making matters worse, these systems are friction-based, meaning you’ll need to replace your brake pads and other brake-related components eventually.
The crew at Ramona Tire knows precisely how to make your vehicle’s brakes as good as new. If you’re experiencing braking issues, bring your car to one of our shops for a full inspection. From there, we’ll install new brake pads/shoes, resurface rotors, repack wheel bearings, and take care of any other brake repair services you need.
Transmission Repair
Your engine is responsible for creating power for your vehicle, but it wouldn’t be able to get you around Southern California on its own. To accomplish this, it works with your transmission—the component responsible for sending power from your engine to your wheels. And, as you might expect, a faulty transmission can create serious problems for your car.
Instead of trying to fix transmission problems on your own, let the Ramona Tire team help! We can check your transmission, fix any leaks it has developed, adjust or replace your clutch, and even handle a full automatic or manual transmission replacement. A transmission is one of the most complex elements of any car—choose California’s most qualified transmission shop when it needs a quick fix!
Engine Service
Just about every driver in Southern California understands why their car’s engine is so crucial. However, understanding the role your engine plays doesn’t mean you’ll be ready to fix it when things go wrong. If your diagnostic system picks up on problems in your vehicle, your “check engine” light will turn on. That light can indicate both minor and major engine issues, but you won’t be able to tell the difference on your own.
At every Ramona Tire location, we have the diagnostic equipment required to help us figure out what your car’s engine problem is ASAP. Once that’s taken care of, our mechanics will work towards fixing the difficulties your engine is experiencing. Give Ramona Tire a call whenever you need engine repairs due to your “check engine” light activates!
Air Conditioning Service
As a Southern California resident, there’s a good chance your home and car are equipped with some sort of air conditioning system. That’s because the heat in this part of the country can get severe, especially at the height of summer. You rely on A/C to stay comfortable at home and in the office, and having a fully functional air conditioning system in the car is just as important.
If you don’t keep up on auto air conditioning maintenance, your A/C system will decrease in efficiency by about five percent annually. Continuing to ignore this issue will result in an A/C system that blows warm air at best—and mold growth or a damp cabin at worst. When you suspect your vehicle’s air conditioning could use some attention, our auto AC repair mechanics are ready to help.
Cooling System Service
Your vehicle’s air conditioner isn’t the only “cooling system” you’ll need to take care of. It also has a cooling system designed to maintain a consistent internal temperature. Without a well-maintained and properly pressurized cooling system, your engine could quickly overheat. If that happens, it could seriously damage other components in your car.
The best way to avoid these issues is by scheduling regular cooling system maintenance appointments at Ramona Tire. We’ll perform cooling system pressure tests to check for leaks, handle your cooling system flush needs, and take care of any necessary repairs. To keep your vehicle cool all year round, don’t hesitate to schedule service today!
Steering & Suspension Service
A vehicle’s steering and suspension systems have two important jobs—they keep drivers in full control and they allow drivers and passengers to enjoy a smooth ride. Ideally, your suspension system will absorb the impact of bumps in the road for years to come. That said, the shock absorbers, coil springs, and other components used in this system will eventually wear out.
You should reach out to Ramona Tire for steering and suspension service when that happens. Our team can inspect your suspension, repair your struts and shocks, and replace your ball joints, tie rods, and sway bars—just to name a few ways we can help.
Preventative Car Maintenance
If you’ve ever gone through a major auto repair, you know how inconvenient and expensive this process can be. The good news is that scheduling preventative maintenance right now can reduce your odds of getting into this situation in the future.
At Ramona Tire, we offer our valued customers a thorough selection of preventative car maintenance services. Choose us for regular oil changes, tire wear checks, and vehicle inspections.
And More!
These aren’t the only jobs the crew at Ramona Tire & Service Center can work on—we pride ourselves on being California’s full-service alignment shop. Explore our entire lineup of auto services to learn more!

ASE-Certified Auto Mechanics
When you’re looking for car repair services, the single most crucial factor to focus on is the qualifications of a shop’s employees.

If you pick a low-quality auto repair shop for car maintenance, the result could be overpriced repairs—or even a damaged vehicle.
The people working at Ramona Tire are ASE-certified mechanics. ASE certification sets the best auto techs apart from the rest, making us the most reliable choice for any type of car repair you might need.
Advanced Check Engine Light Diagnostic Equipment
Has your “check engine” light turned on? That’s an excellent way to know when your car needs professional attention—but it’s not much help beyond that. After all, this light can’t indicate what problems your vehicle is facing on its own.
With our advanced diagnostic equipment, Ramona Tire’s mechanics can communicate with your vehicle to determine just what’s going on. Once we’ve identified the issue, we’ll take no time at all to fix it for you!
Opportunities to Save on Car Maintenance
A simple oil change may not be all that expensive, but this isn’t the only type of car maintenance you’ll need to keep up on as a Southern California driver. Auto repairs and other large-scale tasks can get expensive quickly.

Wheel & Tire Alignment Shops
Camber is the measure of the degree of perpendicular offset from the road surface. Caster is the angle of your wheel’s pivot, which is attached to the suspension, and when this angle is out of tire alignment, straight-line tracking is affected. Toe refers to the angle of directional difference between the tire and the centerline of the vehicle. The front and rear wheels…
Tire Service Center
Although tires are easily maintained, they are often overlooked. Tire service is vital for getting the most out of your tires by maximizing mileage and tread wear. Our ASE-certified technicians will help you understand the basics of tire care and maintenance, like when you should seek a tire rotation, balance, and alignment.
Tire Rotation Service
Our tire rotation service involves changing the position of your vehicle’s tires in order to reduce massive tread differentiation between them. Tires tend to exhibit differing amounts of tread wear, because each tire does not deal with exactly the same types or amounts of stress as its companions. Rotating the tires is an effective way to deal with uneven tread wear.
Wheel Balancing Service
Computerized wheel balancers are highly accurate machines that identify the weight distribution problem areas within an assembly. Ideally, a tire and its wheel should complement one another, with both maintaining an equal amount of weight throughout the assembly. At Ramona Tire, we used computerized wheel balancers at all of our locations.
Tire Repair
There are many hazards that can make tires less effective and a danger to drivers and passengers. It is not uncommon for a sharp objects and road debris to puncture a tire. Because flat tires are dangerous to use, it is advised that motorists only drive on them in extreme circumstances, such as when they need to reach safety from a busy highway.
Brake Service
A fully functioning brake system is crucial to your safety, the safety of your passengers, and the safety of other drivers on the road. At the first sign of trouble, it’s important for you to get your brakes serviced.
Your vehicle’s brake system involves highly engineered parts and precise…
Oil Change Service
An oil change and filter replacement is one of many preventative maintenance services that help promote maximum vehicle performance while extending the life of your vehicle. Oil is responsible for lubricating the working components inside your vehicle’s engine while reducing the amount of friction between them.
Car Engine Repair
Every vehicle built since 1996 has been equipped with an on-board diagnostics system that monitors engine performance. Discrepancies in performance levels are reported through your vehicle’s computer system. Once the “check engine” or “service engine” light is displayed, your next step should be…
Car Battery Service & Replacement
Your vehicle’s starting and charging system is involved in regulating multiple electrical processes to start your vehicle’s engine and keep it running. The starting system consists of the car battery, a starter motor, and a starter solenoid responsible for starting the engine, while the charging system consists of an alternator and voltage regulator.
Cooling System Service
In your vehicle, fuel is converted into heat energy, which means the internal temperatures in your engine compartment can increase dramatically in a short period of time. If your engine overheats, it can cause major damage to various components and cost you a significant amount of time and money to fix. Call on the experts at Ramona Tire for cooling system services.
Radiator Repair Services
The radiator on your car helps keep your engine cool. An overheated engine will lead to a breakdown, so radiator maintenance is very important to the overall functionality of your vehicle. The radiator sits at the front of the engine bay and is constructed with slim, hollow channels that run from the inlet tank to the outlet tank.
Car Water Pump Replacement
When your car is running, the engine gets hot. Between combustion and all those moving components, there’s a lot of heat being generated. If you suspect that you need a car water pump replacement, contact Ramona Tire.
The cooling system works by circulating…
Steering Services
The steering and suspension system on your vehicle is responsible for maintaining comfortable riding conditions and driving performance. It also helps drivers remain in control of their vehicles at all times. The suspension system converts forward energy created by bumps in the road into vertical energy that travels up into the vehicle frame.
Car Maintenance Service
Car maintenance is the care and protection of your vehicle against potential major auto repairs. Negligence is the most common and costly way to see money wasted on repairs that could have easily been prevented through regular service intervals. Depending on your vehicle’s manufacturer…

Front & Rear Differential Repair
The front and rear differential are responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels. It also compensates for and adjusts to the differences in wheel speed as your vehicle moves through turns. When your vehicle navigates a turn, the inside wheel turns slower than the outside wheel, which has to…
Exhaust Repair
Located on the underside of your vehicle, the exhaust system is responsible for collecting and directing harmful emissions away from the vehicle, reducing the amount of pollutants released into the environment, and minimizing engine exhaust noise and force. The exhaust system is composed of pipes and tubing…
