Added High performance parts, Brakes, Turbo, Blow off Valve, Exhaust, intake. Sounds and looks amazing. Great work ! Highly Recommended. Rob is very cool and knowledgeable Vehicle Specialist !
Robert is amazing! He spent a lot of time researching my issues and the history of my car. He was very patient and communicative, and wanted to be sure my car was correctly repaired (3 hopes, including a VW dealer, and repaired it over the previous 8 weeks!). Robert Really knows VWs and their quirks, which many mechanics dont. He is very conscientious. Excellent followup and communication . He test drove my car thoroughly after his repairs to be sure my issues were resolved. He pricing is clear and fair. I am very glad I found such a great mechanic; who really knows what hes doing, is responsible, and takes pride in his work. Maybe now I can keep this car that I love!
Very honest, and thats hard to find. A total professional. Will recommend for sure.
Rob worked on my VW, and you can tell he is not only a veteran with these cars but he loves doing it. If you want work to be done better than the dealer come see him!
Went above and beyond with service! Gave time and attention to me and my car and shared a wealth of knowledge through it all. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Robert at RS Auto Specialties. Five stars across the board!
Best Audi, VW, Porsche mechanic I know. I have known Robert more than 6 years now, and I would not trust both of my Audis to no one else. Simply as that.Again Today Robert exceeded my expectations. My A/C shutoff all of a sudden at the beginning of the week. Being stuck at work during regular weekdays, he provided me a Saturday appointment. It was not easy to diagnose and pinpoint where the leak was coming from. A couple of hours later, it was determined the Schrader valves were the cause of it. The repair kit has been ordered . If you want a professional honest diagnostic, and a mechanic you can trust your Audi to. Look no further, Robert Sciandra @ RS Auto Specialists is the one you want.
Rob was a very professional mechanic who clearly knows what he is doing. I had previously taken my car to 305VDUB for them to fix an issue I was experiencing with my cooling fans but they couldn’t fix. I then brought it to RS Auto Specialties and he was able to fix the problem quickly. He is now my go-to mechanic.
Robert is the man. One of the most up front, and honest mechanics I have ever dealt with. His shop is one of very few that would even consider working on my Audi and certainly the only one who provided excellent customer service throughout the process. He would call or text me daily updates on the project to make sure I understood and approved all the work he was doing. He even hand washed my car before I came to pick it up. He clearly has a variety of knowledge about a wide range of vehicles and the patience and expertise to explain issues in layman terms to his customers. I would absolutely take my car there again for repairs or upgrades. Thanks for all your help Robert!
Rob got the job done & then some! Thank you !
Robert is a true Car Guru and it took just one visit to see it for myself. He had my VW GTI diagnosed and repaired in under a day. He was very professional and kept me abreast at every step. I used to be a dealer only guy, but between the crazy rates and literally losing my parts. I had enough, Robert is my got-to guy from now on.
Great experience with this company and I encourage anyone who has a foreign vehicle to see Robert about your vehicle needs. Everything from the honest consultation to excellent work on my vehicle and professionalism in a timely fashion. My car have a new doctor! Thanks
Excellent service, the work was done on time, he took the time to explain what he did. He is 10.
Very professional master mechanic, and gives you a honest diagnosis what wrong with my car. RSAS be my mechanic for 20 years repair myCar. I will never take my car anywhere else.
Werent you guys in Orange Park, FL at one time? I remember the name and you all did fantastic machine work on my turbo Mustang
The level of knowledge and workmanship is in my view, above some dealers, as well as the quality of the end product, very clean, and no sloppy connections. The cost of the work is below dealer range, at a very competitive if not better quality of work. I recommend RS Auto Specialties without a second thought.
I took my Porsche for an oil change and check-up. Robert took great care in explaining things to me. He’s knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I’m completely satisfied with the work that was done. I highly recommend RS Auto Specialties. Great service, mechanic and fair prices. Thank you Robert!
My experience with Robert was beyond what I expected even after seeing all positive reviews.His professionalism and deep knowledge and the fact that he went out of his way to provide me with detailed information to make an informed decision will make him my go-to guy for anything related to vehicles.
Took my Jetta here because of a few issues and returned with my car running at 100%. Even had it tuned for better performance. Overall the car was repaired in a timely manner and for a decent price. Would recommend anyone to take their car here!
Robert was very professional at fixing our vw beetle. Also reasonable price. I will take my car there again when needed.
Very polite, and concerned about both of our health in this time of the pandemic. Definitely would recommend.
Great Guy, Great price, makes sure you car comes back running new
Robert replaced a clutch (single mass flywheel) in my 2016 GTI with an upgraded dual flywheel clutch to provide a quieter clutch with increased performance should I get an ECU tune on the vehicle. Work was performed to my satisfaction and speaking with Robert, he demonstrated an expert understanding of VW vehicles. I can wholeheartedly recommend him.
Great Service as always. Robert is a very experienced mechanic and great to have him as our family mechanic 10+
Robert is a meticulous and detail-oriented mechanic. He did an extensive job on my VW, finding and diagnosing both the immediate problem (engine blown) but also other latent problems (faulty warning lights). If youre looking for a mechanic who really knows his German cars, Robert is the guy.
Robert is a Master Mechanic who used to work with VW and Audi for many years. That being said, I trust him with my car completely. The A/C in my 2012 VW Beetle stopped working, and I put off fixing it for months... then summer came and I couldnt fight the Miami weather anymore, it had to be fixed. Robert was the first guy I called because I wanted a VW mechanic, and the dealership would have cost me twice the price. His prices are within reason, but you are paying more for his skills and specialties compared to some random mechanic on any street corner.That being said, I was very happy with the work done on my car, its been two months and I have never been so cold!Thanks Robert! I will be coming back!
I had written a glowing review of Robs shop on demandforce (which I was unable to edit or take down) after a couple of performance upgrades (tune and exhaust), but since then Ive looked back and realized how much I was overcharged and lied to and how my friend was taken advantage of as well (he did way more work with him than I did). For some custom tuning to my car I was charged $1,000, but later found out it was a brand-name Eurodyne basic tune I could have bought and done myself for $700. My friend has also had complications with his upgrades and has had his car in a different shop fixing this guys work. Shady tactics and cut corners are the name of his game and I would avoid his shop at all costs (literally and metaphorically). I just want to save the next person some money and not let someone so disingenuous take hard-earned money from good people. Find a more professional place to get good work done.
Robert always gives my family EXCELLENT service.He explains everything to me and answers all my questions so I understand fully.His estimates are very detailed and precise.I will continue to use him for all my car needs.I highly recommend him.Maria Balloveras
Good pricing, quick turn around, and constant contact. Robert is a professional and inspires great confidence. Take your car over and I am sure you will be pleased with his service. He has done great work to my mustang.
Excellent work and very detail oriented, which are both hard to find anywhere and are very important qualities when doing complicated auto repairs on TDIs and other high performance interference engines. Expensive but worth it if you want your car to last. Robert was also very flexible with me dropping the car off late since I live far away.
This is the second time I had the good fortune to have Robert work on my car. He made every effort to accommodate my busy schedule and to complete the necessary repairs in a short time frame. Hes proven to be trustworthy, sincere, and very professional.
This technician was amazing...he was quickly able to diagnose the problem with my air conditioning. He had it repaired it thru my extended warranty. I will recommend this shop to anyone who wants their car repaired in a quick and timely manner.
Great service. Robert was great to work with. I will definitely go back again.
Can’t say enough good things about Robert at RS Auto Speciaties and the service that he provides! He’s a bright, well trained mechanic who obviously loves what he does. He went way out of his way to help us with a difficult situation and timeframe, made the repairs and got us back on the road. He’s honest and pleasant and knowledgeable and I would trust him to do any repairs on my Passat! Thanks again, Robert, for your help!!
One of the best mechanics Ive came across with, I came to him with my Porsche Boxter for an oil and water problem and couldnt have a better explanation possible, he walked me through every step before even commencing on my vehicle, kept me updated with part arrivals and labor and gave me suggestions and pointers. Robert was very professional with me and is an expert with German vehicles. I highly recommend him, hands down :)
Robert knows everything there is to know about VWs, and treats his customers like they are his friends. I immediately knew this was the best guy in town after talking to him for two minutes about my car. Great, timely service, Im taking my GTI to him for every service from now on! 👍👍 Stand up guy
Robert is a very professional mechanic, He provide an excellent service all the time, Thanks RobertDante Vieira
Great interaction with Robert!!
I got my VW Jetta to Robert after a routine oil and air filter change at a national chain left it unsafe and undrivable. The RPMs were going from 600 to 1700 and I had to put the car in neutral at a red light to keep it from stalling. He fixed it in a couple of hours and at a reasonable price. Its purring and I am very happy. RS has a new customer for life.
This guy is a super mechanic that cares about what he does!He loves what he does and it shows!Highly recommend!
Robert diagnosed the problem with expertise great mechanic, I recommend him highly.
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 his shop for vehicle repairs no matter what kind of vehicle you drive.
I used to take my VW Beetle to Robert and always felt like he was honest & very knowledgeable. Recommended!
I couldnt be happier with the service I received. Robert will be the only mechanic servicing my Audi S5. If you need a trusted mechanic, look no further.
1-He has serviced my two Volkswagens both of them Diesel engines.2-I do not have the slightest doubt that Robert is the most capable, knowledgeable and diagnostic precise Volkswagen mechanic in Miami and in many miles around this city. And that includes the mechanics at the Volkswagen Stealerships.3-He takes the time to talk to you in professional terms but easy to understand what is happening with your car and what is needed to repair it.4-I do think of him as honest man and mechanic which in this city, Miami, which main business activity is the make believe, shoddy work and rip off, is very rare commodity.Having said I do not hesitate in recommending him as logic and better alternative.Carlos J. Sevilla M
Professional Service provided in a timely manner. Rob is an excellent technician and can communicate well when explaining options for repairs.
I think this guy is racist. Never wanted to look me in my eye. Overcharged me for a simple job, decided I didnt want the job done then he charges me $150 for a diagnostic then $75 for a holding fee then $15 for a shop fee (printing my receipt) pretty much paid this guy $240 for nothing. Once he received his money he became EXTREMELY rude! Wouldnt answer any further questions. Wouldnt give his full name (told me to Google it) then he almost ran over my feet with his truck when I wouldnt stop asking for is ran
Great work, very knowledgeable with VW.
I took my car to this place because it was having issues with the transmission(one of the gears was grinding) after leaving it for an inspection the guy that works here gave me the car back with even more problems than before and on top of that he charged me $107. I couldnt find 6th gear now, and the reverse was where 1st gear used to be. He said all he did was adjust the shift linkage to where it was supposed to be cause according to him it was unadjusted(even though I never asked him to do this, all I asked him was to check why the 5th gear was grinding and popping out) so after adjusting it now the 6th gear was gone...he told me it was because maybe the shaft where 5th and 6th are located was bad(before he took the car I could skip 5th gear and get to 6th without a problem) and when I asked him to put it back to the way it was before he told me that he couldnt adjust it wrong...so turns out I took my car to the VW dealership and there they told me the shift linkage was adjusted wrong, there they fixed it and put it back how it was before(didnt charge me anything for this and was done in less than 5 minutes), now Im getting 6th gear back. After confronting him about this he told me all he did was follow the VW manuaI on how to adjust it(so lets blame it on the manual?). I had to drive in 4th gear for more than a week(wasting unnecessary gas) thanks to him for not doing something the correct way(amazingly he still claims he didnt do anything wrong!). Any truly honest mechanic would admit if they made a mistake and at least return the money they charged you as courtesy to the customer. I was planning on fixing my transmission with him but not anymore, taking my car to someone else who knows what hes doing and wouldnt charge me a ridiculous amount for screwing it up even more.EDIT: this is NOT a false review, this thug whose name is Robert, called me to my cell phone right after I made this review asking me to take it down, after I refused to do so he got mad and started making threats. He has zero professionalism and is lucky I didnt report him to the police. BTW Robert, I have your cell phone number, no need to call me from private. ;)
Best VW Repair Shop in South Florida with affordable prices. Excellent VW knowledge.
Robert is very knowledgeable behind Audi and VW. My AUDI A4 was overheating to the point that I thought it was going to blow up, and just a phone call away Robert came over to my house, took a look at my car and was immediately able to identify that my lines were leaking and that an electrical module was probably defective and might have been the cause of everything. To make the long story short. Same day my car was fixed but stayed in the shop an additional day because one of the pieces that needed to be delivered from AUDI was going to arrive Friday (car broke down Wednesday). Great service, but most importantly VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. I did not care about the cost as long as I dont have to fix the same thing again. I look forward to doing more business with Robert in the future.-Yandy Plasencia
Have been using RS for almost 2 years now, 2 cars, always getting the problems fixed or service done in the time promised at reasonable prices, Expert mechanic on Audi and VW. Great place.
I Called to ask about pricing for a AC Diagnostic test and was given no valuable information or pricing. The guy who picked up was extremely rude and wasnt intrested in my business.
Robs knows everything about VW especially common problems and knows how to fix and guarantee his work
Best VW shop in Miami!
