Great experience all around. Robert is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to VWs and has been a great help. I wanted to get some work done on the car, and he was solid, honest, and followed up.

Previously took the car to another shop and spent $1600 with no results. RS correctly diagnosed the problem and repaired it for a fraction of that.

Robert did solve the mechanical issue in a very professional manner. His experience is amazing, he quickly identified the root cause and explained what needed to be done. He repaired it promptly, as per his commitment. I highly recommend Robert!

Probably my best experience I've ever had with a auto repair shop. I live out in Key West with a 2011 VW Touareg and with our repair options limited out here, it is always an adventure and commitment to go back to the "mainland" for anything we need done. I really appreciated Robert's ability to begin what I needed done over multiple emails and occasional phone call. He was clear and enthusiastic, as well as committed to make the best of my time after a 3 hour drive and staying overnight in a hotel near his shop. He was able to order my parts beforehand before I came and was ready when I arrived.

I assumed I needed my rotors changed with my brakes and he saved me money after inspecting. He was able to procure the exact tires I wanted at the same price as TireRack. He made suggestions that made sense and I trusted what he recommended.

The most amazing part of the experience was when I mentioned to Robert last minute and didn't expect a new result, that I had 3 separate dealers who could not fix a false oil level reading. I didn't expect anything, but well into the evening Robert researched what might be causing the error and at a minimal cost, was able to fix something I had been living with for 5 years.

THE RESULT: MY Touareg is running like new again at 125k miles. Truly an amazing experience. I cannot recommend Robert enough.

Robert at RS Auto Specialties knows his business. Very professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and accommodating. He was also able to save us some money on VW parts and I would definitely recommend him anytime. Thank you Robert, we will be back.

Finally, someone who explained the problem and fixed it. Robert is a very savvy guy who gave me great VW service and I am very grateful because I can keep on using this great car without the problems it has always had.

Robert is amazing. He has done excellent work with my daughter's Volkswagon Golf. He has turned that car around into something worth keeping. He is fair, honest and his estimates are always very detailed. He explains everything in a manner that can be understood and he will take the time to answer any and all my questions. I highly recommend him and RS Auto Specialties.

Rob is the man, my car was leaking oil like the Exxon Valdés spill and he found a quick economical solution. He is the Buddha of Volkswagens and knows how to relay information to customers. He took care of a few others items that needed attention and now the car runs better then when I purchased it. I highly recommend anyone to use RS Auto Specialties for vehicle repairs no matter what kind of vehicle you drive.

Great service. I have been coming to Robert at RS Auto Specialties for over a year and I always receive professional maintenance care -- he is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what is wrong with your vehicle and what it will take to get it humming again. Thanks for all you do.

After purchasing a 1970 VW Transporter II Campmobile on eBay in Miami, FL. I searched for someone to help insure that I would make it the 2000 miles back to New Brunswick, Canada. I found this website vcarshops.com and was impressed with the feedback which RS Auto Specialties received from it’s customers. This led me to contacting Rob and I was immediately impressed by his knowledge of water-cooled VW’s. Rob went out of his way to meet with the seller of the van and drove it to his shop to “prepare” it for the daunting task ahead. Rob completed all the required work in time for my trip back, including the pop-top replacement. Thanks to Rob I was able to make the trip home in a 42-year-old vehicle safely. He noticed small things like the hoses on the oil cooler that could have made my trip home so much less enjoyable. This guy knows his VWs! Thanks Rob.

Robert is a VW genius, he knows what he's talking about. I took my 2006 VW Golf in to have a check engine light inspected and Robert took the time to give me 1st class service. He kept me informed as to everything he was doing to get me on the road.

Keep up the good, and I'll be seeing you with my 40000 mile tune-up fast approaching.

All the best,

Orlando

I took my 2004 VW Passat to Robert to repair my engine that had blown for the second time. I can confidently say I will not have to worry about anything going wrong with the engine in that car ever again. Robert took the time to explain every detail & made many reccomendations as far as the future upkeep goes. I got my car back i two weeks & he even washed it. I highly recommend RS Auto Specialties.

Took the GTI to “The Master” in Miami. I’d selfishly prefer to keep his genius to myself but the man deserves to be recognized. He knows his stuff (down to the last detail)… is seriously passionate about mk1s (breeding a whole batch of his own)… and spent many unbilled HOURS answering questions and making suggestions. I got my car back in record time, in top shape, and paid a very fair price. Doing business with him was so much fun, he is also working on our 83’ diesel and 87’ cabrio next.

Robert is clearly a Volkswagen expert and his numerous accolades show that. However, I don't know much about cars and usually find myself intimidated by technical car conversations. Robert took the time to explain exactly what my issues were and what options I had moving forward. Robert is good enough to put a performance engine in a Ferrari and patient enough to explain brake issues on my old Jetta. Having a mechanic you can trust means a great deal, and I will now consult Robert first for all future car issues.
