While on a road trip I started having a worrisome noise from my passenger side front end. I adjusted a panel in the wheel well area and it appeared to fix it for the most part. I had already got it stuck in my head that there was possibly a wheel bearing issue and had a lot of miles left to drive so made an appointment. These guys were great. Drove van and to assess and looked underneath. All looked good and maybe a loose heat shield causing some noise. No charge and they sent me on my way with piece of mind. Thank you so much.

I love the people here, they are knowledgeable and they dont overcharge, or try to can you to spend money you dont need to. Actually they have always tried to save me money!They are extremely courteous, and they treated my vehicle like it was their own.I recommend this place to anyone who needs to bring their car into a shop.Rick, the owner, has worked on all my familys vehicles since we found the shop, and will continue to do so as long as we have cars! :P

Rick and his team are knowledgeable, honest, and stand behind their work. Theyve twice honored their 2 year warranty on parts and labor for me.

A little over a year ago these guys replaced my fuel pump and helped diagnose and fix a nagging issue with my Jeep that I had spent many hours working on. I was very happy with the service.Then a couple of weeks ago it started having intermittent problems so I took it back to them. Turns out the fuel pump had gone bad. They covered everything under their warranty, no charge. Sweet!They do good work and they stand behind it.

Bad Service. I took my 944 Turbo in after changing the timing belt due to some vibration in the upper RPMs that was not there before. R&D proceeded to take the apart the car WITHOUT giving it a test drive to properly diagnose the issue, told me that the balance shafts were fine and the vibration was normal after charging $500 for labor. The car still had the vibration so I adjusted the balance shafts myself and it went away. Waste of money.

Good guy who I trust to work on my wifes car, my old track car and my Volkswagen Syncro. No BS just good honest service. If youre in Santa Cruz and want your car fixed right call Rick @ R&D Motorsports and please tell him Dale says Hi.

I started taking my cars to R&D about 3 years ago. I have a 03 Jaguar X-Type, 05 Acura TL, 08 Accord V6 and my 13 Ram 1500 Hemi. I would not trust work being done by ANYONE ELSE! Rick is straight forward and doesnt BS you with extras. R&D may cost a few more $$ in labor, but you get what you pay for! Ive never had to take my cars back for a second visit to correct a repair. I TRUST Rick and his team for spectacular HONEST service! Dont pay attention to the 1-star review. If I remember correctly, there was a Porsche that was brought in that had a dead possum in the air intake!

Review №15

I recently had to get my car repaired and I was too far away from my usual independent Porsche shop.They replaced the driveshaft/carrier bearing assembly.The work was done to my satisfaction and fairly quickly.However...the mechanic that did the work said in the notes that all the fluids were dirty and probably never been changed, including the oil!Just because there were no stickers saying mileage and dates of fluid change, he assumed that they were not done.I keep everything up to par on my Porsche Cayenne!ALL FLUIDS including the transmission fluid, ( which Porsche claims is lifetime fluid) I have flushed/ changed in the last few months!I met the shop owner and liked him and the shop is clean. I deducted one star for the mechanic assuming without actually checking all the fluids.

For the past decade, I have been bringing my Audis, Mazda, and Lexus to Rick exclusively. Why? Because he is experienced, reliable, forthcoming, and very patient in explaining what is happening. His advice has saved me more money than I have spent with him.

Since the late 80s early 1990s I have been bringing every car I ever owned to Rick at R&D motorsports. He has maintained my 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser my 2006 Ford F2 50 diesel my Jaguar and my classic 56 Chevy. Nothing but good old-fashioned service. Never sells you more than you need I couldnt be happier
