R & D Motorsports in Santa Cruz

What a remarkable shop! I was facing a long drive and had an indicator show that a tire needed attention. AAA suggested R&D Motorsports. I was given royal treatment! The mechanic (I wish I had gotten his name) tested all of my tires, inflated them to the right pressure, drove the car to make sure there were no leaks, and detected a malfunction in the indicator. He did not charge me for that excellent service. I was able to drive back to Los Angeles without worrying about my tires. I wish R&D were in Los Angeles! The shop is spacious, very well equipped for service, and the expertise of the person who took care of my car is extraordinary. Thank you R&D

I’m so glad I was referred here! These guys took the time to explain to me what was going wrong with my car, and were able to fix it quickly. This is definitely my new go-to shop!

I am one of those people who moves from mechanic to mechanic because I don't trust the workmanship, and I usually feel as though there is some level of price discrimination occuring since I don't know as much about cars, etc. Now I feel like I've found my forever home (auto repair shop) when I bring my car to R&D Motor Sports! Doug is amazing. He explains the repair, calls to update when he says he will, and I have come to realize I have complete trust in using this company. For my last repair he recommended I bring my car to the dealership because the part that broke was still under warranty and Doug shared the documentation to make sure the dealership honored the warranty. I've been to so many mechanics in this town and I can confidently say this is the very best repair shop in Santa Cruz!

I'm so impressed by the repairs and service for my older VW GTI. She needed lots of work and Doug work was meticulous and he explained everything and it was all accomplished at an honest and fair price. Thank you R&D Motorsports!

A big thanks to Doug, who helped me across the ocean with a car that was serviced for many years at R & D Motorsports and made later its way to Europe. I must say that the car was wonderfully cared for and kept in excellent condition. Even if the work was done for the previous owner, the current one thanks you guys very much for it. Thank you!

Been going to r and d for almost 20 years and still impressed with the level of service and attention to detail. Doug is an absolute part hound and rick KNOWS his stuff. As many thumbs up as I can put

Turned out I didnae need them, but they were willing to have me tow my truck in same day. My truck is almost 40 and some shops won't work on older stuff. When I forgot to call them, I got a call back before they went home. Didn't end up needing mechanical service but I've never seen a good shop that didn't also have good mechanics if their office staff was top notch. I forgot their rep's name but I hope they give her a commendation.

I love the people here, they are knowledgeable and they don't overcharge, or try to can you to spend money you don't 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 family's vehicles since we found the shop, and will continue to do so as long as we have cars! :P
