Our Story
Ramona Motor Works was established in September 1994 by Frank A. and Alice R. Pecoraro. Prior to establishing Ramona Motor Works, Frank pioneered in the automotive repair business in 1962 at American Motors Corporation, while Sal Pecoraro introduced his son, Frank, into the trade. Throughout his career, Frank purchased multiple Mobil Oil service stations, ultimately selling the last one in 1992. Two years later, Ramona Motor Works was born and has since become a strong and vital business in the Ramona Community.

Positive Experiences
Ramona Motor Works has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from customers. Many reviewers have praised the shop's honesty, integrity, and professionalism. They have also commended the shop's excellent service, quick diagnosis, and accurate estimates of both cost and time to repair. Several reviewers have mentioned that the shop's service is superior to that of dealerships and that they will continue to use Ramona Motor Works for their automotive needs.
Negative Experiences
However, not all reviewers have had a positive experience with Ramona Motor Works. One reviewer was unhappy with the service they received, citing that the shop's mechanic, Sal, was unprofessional and price-gouged them. The reviewer felt that the shop's estimate was significantly higher than what other mechanics had quoted them, and they were also unhappy with the shop's recommendations, such as a transmission flush, which they felt was unnecessary and could potentially damage their vehicle.
