R & D Automotive Customer Reviews

Jim does excellent work, is honest, and reasonably price. He works on older vehicles (at least 1990), and current models. R&D Automotive has repaired the work I requested, without recommending additional unnecessary repairs. The cost was much less than dealers quotes while usually replacing the components with original manufactured equipment. As a customer for 2 years I have been very satisfied with R&D Automotive.

Honest, Fair, and knowledgeable. Went above and beyond fixing my car. Could have charged more, but didn’t. Will be recommending to my family and friends.

Jim is honest, knowledgeable and had us in and out in a day when a factory defective part was installed. Highly recommend!

This is the only place I'll bring my 1970 convertible Cadillac De Ville. Great service and a fair price. Jim is the man!! The cadi has never driven better!! I recommend R&D to everyone.

R&D is my repair shop for my Lincoln truck which is pretty much just a dolled-up F150. Jim has replaced my radiator, my transmission (OUCH, I mean Ouch! that was expensive!), my front sway bars and and my belt idle tensioners (or something like that). In every case he fixed it fast, completely, and even though nothing is cheap - he is damn fair. I trust him completely. Jim knows his stuff and that's for sure.
