My experience with Vinny was great. Dropped off my Audi RS5 for 60k miles service and everything was taken care of in a timely manner. Excellent people and great service. I’ll be coming back
I had a disappointing experience with R & S Automotive Specialists (R & S Auto & Truck). After numerous attempts to get the parts I paid for or receive a refund, I discovered that the parts were never ordered. Despite multiple efforts to resolve the issue, my money was not returned, which led me to take the business to small claims court. The court ruled in my favor.
Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to proceed with caution before making any payments. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision.
Edit:
Took off my front wheels for the first time today and the calipers were not even bolted on. As I'm going thru the car, I am finding more and more things broken, or rigged or BOTH. HORRIBLE SHOP.
Over the course of 3 YEARS this shop has treated me horribly. First used engine started knocking within 50 miles even though Vince "knew the owner of that motor-was in good shape" then basically told me it was my fault for buying a used motor? So I ate that. The mechanic later told me the oil sumps go bad or something and it wasn't my fault. Next engine was my engine.
Over a year later for the 2nd time and many many phone calls and emails unanswered I get my car back. Completely un tuned and not driveable. Charged me $600 for a Tune with no dyno sheet..secretary blatantly lying to my face stating it was tuned! Car leaks diff fluid since they had to "check" my rear dif (was fine- it is built) but now it leaks!
Front of my engine leaks out of the timing cover BAD. (I will have to fix)
Vince told me orignally my clutch was "too big" so he swapped it out ( I don't know why I listened) - was a 1000$ clutch- they gave me 500 and NOW MY NEW ONE SLIPS AFTER 200 miles.
But WAIT there's more! When I picked my car up, someone had backed into the hood and fender and they AGAIN lied and acted like it was already there! Wild! These people will rob you blind if you let them.
My bill was almost double what I paid for the car and they won't even call me back. The most frustrating part is they will ignore your call for days if they recognize the number. Call from another number and they will answer the phone. Horrendous experience. Do not ever take your vehicle here. 2000 GT 2v.
My only auto shop. Been going there for years. They've worked on all my cars and family members to include BMW 7 series, Audi Q5 and Nissan Sentra. Highly recommended. Veteran friendly!
My father who had passed while waiting on his car to be finished by vince at r and s auto never got to see his car finished, even better almost two years and 9500 dollars later this scam artist did nothing he said he was going to do and we are currently in the process of suing him and his girlfriend/wife whatever she is she isnt customer service she does nothing to service customers i hope other people file lawsuits we cannot be the only people this guy thought he could get over on, see you in court vince.
Had my truck there for a oil change and they never changed my oil. Instead of putting a sticker on the front windshield letting me know when the next oil change is due they put it on my steering wheel. I had a custom exhaust put on my truck had to bring it back because the exhaust came loose again they charged me again to re-weld it and fix it. I had recently brought the truck to another shop and they said I have a exhaust leak again where the custom exhaust was installed. I did call the shop was very respectful and had mentioned that after it happened on my first truck and now the second truck that I didn’t feel comfortable and I asked for a refund it and she wasn’t willing to do that at all so I just ended the conversation. Their customer service is terrible and Happy that this happened at an early stage because I thought they were good people I would not recommend them to anybody they took my money. Most shops that you take your car for an oil change also check all your checkpoints and your air pressure that never was performed and I didn’t even get an oil change.Good luck to anybody who brings her car there
Chassis dyno tuning to extract maximum BHP out of any combination . Extensive knowledge in power extraction from most domestic powertrain combinations . Reasonable pricing for exceptional results
Great automotive shop! They’ve been servicing everything from my company vehicles to my track car for years and have always been fair and professional. I’ve recommended them to my family and they are so pleased they bring their cars from Maryland if they need any major service. You can definitely trust these guys with anything you drive.
Vinny and the staff at R&S Automotive did a fantastic job with a custom dyno tune for my 90 Foxbody. They were able to get me in and out quickly. They are very professional and knowledgeable with high end performance vehicles. Don’t hesitate bringing your vehicles here for all types of service. A++++
Genuine service at an affordable price. Vinny and his wife will do anything they can to get your daily driver on the road in the best condition it could ever be. They are the only shop that works on my camaro and I have been a long term customer for over 4 years.
This is a great auto performance repair shop! They can do everything from a simple oil change to building a 6 second quarter mile drag car. Always friendly, and takes me right in.
Great service, up front and honest about what needs to be repaired and what can wait until your next visit. The go-to Mechanics for performance upgrades and in house dynamometer.
R &S Automotive is a great shop in Spring city. Vince & Bridget are super nice and understanding owners. They do great Work with reasonable and competitive pricing. There employees are very reliable and capable trustworthy mechanics. Always flexible for scheduling and getting me in in short notice for anything that pops up. I’ve been using on R&S Automotive for the past five years and couldn’t be happier with my service. Try them once an u never leave them. Jay
Vince did a great job with my car. Even had me sit in the car during the alignment and had me test drive it multiple times, making sure I was comfortable with how the car was set up. I will always take my car here for any performance mods. The quality of work/service is the best in the business.
This place is a stand up automotive shop for high performance or the average joe that seeks
Quality work customer service is second to none can’t say enough.
This shop is great from everything from your daily driver to your race car! The staff is knowledgeable on pretty much any make of vehical. The pricing is great for the work they do! Specialize in mustangs too so for anyone like me a prefect shop to have in your home town.
Hands down the only place I trust my car to. Vinnie is knowledgeable and and personable. Bridget couldn't be more courteous and the techs that work there are always top notch. Whether it's an oil change on one of our daily drivers or a tune and dyno session for one of my project cars they do it all!! Add to the fact they do events to bring the car community together and benefit local law enforcement and you get a bigger picture of a dedicated caring professional.
I've taken my car here a handful of times for oil changes, tire rotations, alignment, and bulb/wiring issues. The staff is always really friendly the work is always done really well and the pricing isn't bad. The only difficult thing is that the waiting room is small but I've had no issue waiting for my car to be worked on before. They have some seating and it's nicely heated/cooled and they have a TV and coffee and water. I'll definitely be going back again.
Please, for the love of God do not waste your time or money on these guys. They are the most unprofessional, non customer focused company I have ever "tried" to work with. Communication is non existent, they make commitments that they have no intention or capability to deliver on, and do not have the capability to deliver even the most basic of services that they promise. Try Larry's Automotive on route 23, he is honest and delivers on his commitments.
Highly recommend this shop to everyone! Vince is extremely good at what he does and very knowledgeable. I brought my 2006 Navigator to him with front air suspension problem that the dealer said i needed new air bags. Vince played with it for awhile and figured out it was just a ride height sensor. haven't had any issue since.
I have used R&S Auto for both inspections and general maintenance of my vehicle. I own a 98 Subaru legacy and I have had issues in the past with mechanics not being able to service it properly. I can honestly say my car has never run better since I purchased it 6 years ago. They found issues other mechanics have missed and they worked with me every step of the way when it came to my budget. I have recommended this garage to my friends and they have all also had really good experiences.I wouldn't go anywhere else!
