R & Z Service

My first time working with these guys and it was made easy. The bill, which I thought would be much higher than it came out, was fair. I felt like they were trustworthy and will give them my future business. They were also able to fix the car extremely quickly.
For reference, this was for a VW.

Spoke with Pat my first time here. I was looking for a gas cap & he was out of extras, unfortunately. So, I asked him about a few other services I need to accomplish on my V-​Dub soon (replace flywheel, which involves pulling the engine & getting the spacing precise & update the brakes). He told me he wouldn’t charge much for putting on the new flywheel if I can bring in the engine myself (whoopee!) & to check in often if other small services are needed. I appreciate his professionalism in speaking with me about mechanics, in which I am of course not as versed. I will definitely be returning in the future!

I drive all the way from Los Alamos to have Pat work on our cars, one Audi and one VW… we found him through a recommendation from Foreign Aide two years ago when we lived in the east mountains, and we won’t go to anyone else now! Pat’s carside manner is second to none he is always calm and very easy going… always willing to help out and a wealth of knowledge.
The guys he has working for him are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! They have helped me fab up stuff I couldn’t find anywhere and it always works great! I have always been very happy with everything they have done for me.
Never have I ever felt bad over a bill… usually quite the opposite… you always know what to expect with these guys… nothing is ever hidden… everything is up front.
Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, Honest, Wonderful, Cheerful… and a pleasure to do business with… would drive many more miles just to have my car worked on by these guys!!!

I first came here in 1981 with a crippled Karmann-​Ghia (no kidding!). I was so impressed with these guys, I have been coming here ever since.
R & Z is a family-​owned business, and they take very good and PERSONAL care of their customers. You always know who will greet you, and who will fix your car. Just as important, they will never try to scam you about what your car needs, or put in used or cheap parts and charge for new.
They started out being a VW shop (R and Z Service for Volkswagens), which is why I first went there. They have branched out, and are now just R and Z Service. But even they were only VW, I brought these vehicles to them:
1974 Karmann Ghia
1977 International Scout
1977 Porsche 924
1989 Subaru Legacy
1999 Dodge Neon
2002 Honda
2004 Subaru Outback
Every one of those cars was fixed to perfection. My hubby took his dream car – the 924 – to four different shops, incl the German guy who was a Porsche specialist, until I persuaded him to try R and Z – who fixed it straight away. I have never had to bring a car back to them twice for the same problem: when they fix it, it’s FIXED.
If I were trapped on a desert island somewhere, I *might* let someone else look under the hood of my car. Otherwise, it’s R and Z or no-​one.
I highly recommend them.
