They are not the friendliest place in town. They are professional mechanics and work very efficiently, no time for nonsense. The workmanship has always been right on. Be respectful and you have nothing to worry about. A very reasonable value for your money. Saves me a fortune compared to my dealer. They have my 22 year old Mercedes 500SL car running like new. read more

A very good shop. They work efficiently and with quality, understanding what needs to be replaced and what can wait for now. The location is also very convenient. read more

Rude fucking staff. Changed an appointment once for a car inspection on a Monday at 8 am and got cussed at. Take your shit somewhere else.

I don't normally bother to write reviews, but I was blown away at how accommodating he was - I needed a quick scan for fault codes (about a 10 minute job) which he was willing to do without having to take the car all day or schedule an appointment for who knows when. He did the scan and cleared a code that appeared to be an annoyance code not an actual fault. I hope his customers appreciate him. Shops like this are uncommon. I called a few other places and they all refused to do it without an appointment (which was not available inside of a week) even after I explained that all I needed was a basic scan and if further diagnoses was needed I'd come back when time was available). It's not an easy business to be in so kudos and many thanks to him and his crew for being top notch and so helpful. If only the automotive service business had more places like this... Regards, Alex. read more

This shop used to be the #1 shop hands-down for VW AIR COOLED repair on the entire lower mainland. For YEARS. Phoned them up..."NEIN! WE NO LONGER WORK ON AIR COOLED!" Apparently...Rudy and/or Peter have died...and the business got "passed on" or sold or whatever. Either way...total piss off. Talk about a let-down. read more

I have to say these guys have everything you want in a mechanic shop! There's no BS! They're honest! They're knowledgeable! They're fast! They recommend when & what needs to be done and they'll let you know if it's something that can wait until next scheduled maintenance or if it should be done sooner! I've been going to them for my VW service since 2007 and will keep going to them as long as they're around. Huge shout out to Dirk & Thomas! Thanks for always taking care of my vehicles! read more

As an owner of an older model of the Volkswagen Beetle, I knew there'd come a day where lots of repairs and maintenance would be required. I had gone to other mechanics before, however, none of which specialized in import cars, specifically Volkswagen. Sergei & his team are extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond in both customer as well as auto service. Will be going back to them for all my cars servicing needs! read more

This place charges $65 for an oil change. Picked the place based on yelp reviews and after asking around and not finding it a whole lot cheaper elsewhere unless I learned Chinese. Was told that generally you pay at least $50 for an oil change. $50. Seriously, Vancouver, why do you insist on paying so much for so little and think it's such high quality. Looking at you Lululemon. Next time I'm going to go to Mr Youtube and do it myself. read more

There are a number of good VW repair shops in Vancouver but these guys seem pretty good. They figured out the cause of my engine light was a faulty fuel filter. I have already spent $2k at other shops replacing all sorts of other parts. These guys said it should have been pretty obvious the solution. They also let me know that there were a few things to keep an eye on but didn't have to be worked on right away and could be addressed down the line. So the car is working great and they are very friendly and professional. Also very considerate! read more

The BEST service I have had in the car service industry in 36 years of driving. Thoroughly professional with a warm and friendly staff. They sure know their stuff, call to confirm and your car is ready early, not later. Car washed and polished inside and out...This place is a rare shop that is worth finding and bringing your car to. HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Their service is above board. Pretty good service at a fair price. I took my Audi Q5 to them for a check engine lite concern and a 50K maintenance. They fixed the problem by replacing a faulty oxygen sensor. For the 50K maintenance service, they replaced a couple of filters, change the oil, check the tires and brakes. Will take back the brakes for replacement later on. Very happy with the on time service. Will definitely go back. read more

I recommend Rudy and Peter Motors to everybody who is looking for a high quality professional servises. My husband has been servicing his and my car with Serge for around 7 years- very very very very happy with everything that he does. I was picking up my car from the shop and was impressed with a black guy jumpimg into his cool expensive car singing out loud- he looked so happy and excited. Serge and his business is absolutely highly recomended. read more

Can't say enough good things about these guys - They're a dying breed - An honest, 'neighbourhood' auto mechanic. I recently had my car in for a 'squeak' in the suspension and instead of trying to sell me a whole new set of shocks, they did a full check out and said all was OK. They are straight talkers - Your car is ready when they say it will be, at the price they said it would cost. read more

So happy to find Rudy & Peter Motors! I was going to the local VW dealer for the longest time for my '09 Tiguan. Needed a few repairs done after getting a quote from the dealer brought it here and they saved me around 30%. They were friendly, explained my options and had my Tig ready exactly when needed. There was one major repair which involved taking out the transmission which the shop did not have the equipment for, but they referred me to another excellent shop. read more

Hello, Excellent work! I was given a run around by different shops trying to find water leak. In this shop it took about 5 min to find the hole and it was demonstrated to me using a smoke machine. Wow! Cool tool too :) Also, they found that my defrost window was not working and diagnosed that problem as well. Keep up a good work! Customer for life! Thanks read more

I have taken my Toyotas to this business for many years, and over two ownerships, and I have always found the work to be excellent. Mechanics are extremely knowledgeable and skilled and have always been able to fix whatever is wrong. They are honest, practical and mindful of costs. They have been able to do a repair at very short notice and have helped save me thousands of dollars by avoiding dealership service. I highly recommend Rudy and Peter Motors. read more

My 2015 Tiguan's console had failed outside of the warranty. No more back-up camera, no bluetooth, no radio. I enquired with my previous mechanic and he gave me a disheartening quote of $2000 plus installation and no guarantee that it would work any better. I sat on that for over a year just using my phone instead, hauling through my data. I finally decided it was time to be an adult and face the cost and was referred to Rudy and Peter Motors by someone from work. Sergei found a low-cost solution, seeking out a barely used part from an auto-wrecker, a process that involved much back on forth on his part, seeking and finding some elusive secret code that isn't included on the part, giving me a few options including using a non-tiguan part and trying it out and if it didn't work to change it out for a small upgrade price. In the end he got the Tiguan unit. ($500) Throw in a full tune-up, an oil/filter change including cleaning up a mess The Great Canadian Oil change company left from the last oil change, and replacing my failing battery. The total price came in at 2/3 of my original estimate for the console alone. I am thrilled! The nicest thing is how happy Sergei was to see me happy. This is someone who clearly takes great pride in his work. Well done! read more

I have been a customer of Rudy & Peter Motors for over 15 years. The head mechanic is now the new owner. Serge has repaired my Volkswagen Golf vehicles and does excellent work. He's honest and gives great advice to keep my car running great and safe on the road. I would highly recommend they service all your vehicles for maintenance and servicing. They specialize in VW, Audi, and Porsche but also repair other imports. read more

Had my 10 year old vw in for oil change and tune up. Was updated by phone on what they found during the service (clamp had rusted and needed to be replaced). No unnecessary service or up selling, guys were very straightforward. This will be my cars service spot going forward. read more

Parked my newly purchased 2006 Jetta on their lot before going inside to check in. First flag, parked within lines (very narrow spots) beside another vw. While waiting for my ride, a mechanic came out and could not get inside the driver's side of the car parked beside mine. So he turns and gives me a dirty look. Can't help if their spots are narrow. 1 wasted day & $300 later, diagnosis: "Your engine needs work, we don't do that. And the AC that is intermittent and you mentioned you'd like to have looked at, yah... we don't do that either. We send them to shop across from us, but they have no time. So you'll need to do that on your own time. So.. we replaced two burned out bulbs, replaced your oil & filter. Welcome to come and pick up your car." ... I thought that was a waste of money and time until I went to JB Motors off Marine Drive. Which Rudy & Peter Motors recommended: "you're in good hands and can't go wrong with them." 2 days later & $550, nothing got done besides a diagnosis on the engine which they over quoted alongside other things. Thats another review. I'm bought a 2006 Diesel with 300K kms because I am on a budget and hope to safe on gas. Instead I spend $900 in 3 days to have literally nothing important addressed. Don't usually leave negative reviews and my experience may be isolated, but desperate consumers like myself on a budget need to know in advance. read more

Absolutely unbelievable. The most racist comments I've heard my entire life. My mother called Rudy and Peter's number thinking it was the korean auto body shop because apparently they have the same name (didn't show up on google, never been to an auto body shop before so we didn't know). All she said was "Hello?" in korean (again, because she thought this was the korean shop) before this racist person starts whaling at her yelling things like "This is Canada we speak English here!". I was absolutely appalled so I took the phone and apologized, saying we must have gotten the wrong number and telling him that he was being racist. All he did was yell more racist bull*hit at me. From his accent, he sounded like an immigrant or at least had an immigrant parent himself, so I can't belive he would do that especially if he might have been a victim of racism himself. I can honestly say this was one of the most upsetting experiences I've been through, never having received racism myself before. read more

I like these guys. They were able to spot some issues that the others missed and got my old Jetta purring like a pussycat again. I liked it that they put my car up on the hoist and brought me over to have a look at some issues they spotted. They explained things in detail and answered my questions with an enthusiasm that was endearing. Who knew that the old type II Jettas had two fuel pumps? One of which wasn't working and had been causing the stalls that had been occurring intermittently. They let me know that there were a few things to keep an eye on but didn't have to be worked on right away and could be addressed down the line. So for the first time in a long time I'm cruising around town with a sense of confidence that the old girl is going to get me where I want to go! read more

I need to add an update here because I have recently discovered that Rudy and Peters does oil changes at the same cost as a speedy-type place. Why the benefit of taking it to them? Well first of all if you are like me, you won't get confused by the "up-sells" that other places attempt. Secondly, when I had my car in for a change in December, they saw that one of my brake lines was frozen and caught the problem before it would have become pretty expensive. I'm not really convinced that a speedy oil and lube place would have caught the same thing. read more

I no longer will be going to Rudy and Peters as I have moved to Marpole and am now going to Granville and Avery, but I stand by my original review. Dirk and the guys in this shop will not do you wrong. I highly recommend them. read more

These guys are amazing! Courteous, fast and don't just look at one thing on your car when doing the job right the first time. They offer a quaint waiting room with wireless (just ask for the password) if you need to work while you wait. There is no "talking down" to you and absolutely respectful of your vehicle. Thank you guys!! I'll definitely be back and keep the word spreading. read more

I am the proud owner of a '95 VW Eurovan camper, which acts as my second home while I'm traveling. It can be difficult to find trustworthy and capable mechanics to work on them, but as I drove up to Rudy & Peters, I was immediately reassured: there was another Eurovan camper already in the shop! Dirk, the owner, quickly troubleshot the problem with my brakes and, knowing that I was on a road trip, was able to complete the repairs ahead of schedule and on the same day I brought it in. He explained the issue clearly and, best of all, was available and trustworthy when I still had concerns about the brakes. I cannot recommend Rudy & Peters highly enough! read more

These guys are honest, friendly, and very knowledable gentlemen. I've brought my audi to Rudy & Peters for an oil change and both times they were excellent. They also did a pretty comprehensive inspection on my vehicle and printed out an easy to understand summary of potential issues at no additional cost. There's a waiting room with tv, coffee, reading articles, newspapers, bathroom, etc for your convenience. Excellent service, highly recommended. read more

These guys are the real deal. Friendly, courteous and polite. I have taken my fussy 2007 VW GTI to them numerous times because they do what is necessary, and leave what can wait. They always call to verify the work they're doing and the price. Fabulous customer service. read more

I took my Mazda there complaining of squeaky brakes. They could have told me I needed a complete brake job and I would have gratefully paid them. Instead they told me that there's still 60% left on all my brake pads and it's not worth the money to take them apart to see why they are squeaking. They changed my transmission fluid for the same price as the speedy places next door. Excellent, friendly service. read more

Had the classic VW problem: engine light comes on because the sensors in a VW are so narrowly calibrated. Called these guys this morning, had the car in by early afternoon and got it back mid-afternoon. They were quick, did the work, communicated my options to me by phone and let me make the decision. I opted to deal with the small engine light related problem, and left the more expensive optional stuff for another time. The final bill was small - the minimal amount of the labour it took to sort out the problems and present me with options. I'll definitely go back to these guys. read more

These guys are great! Very fast and professional service and they look after your vehicle while they've got it. No charges for checking engine lights, great and friendly communication with clients regarding repairs, and generally good results. Only reason I'm not giving a 5 is that I had one brake repair that took them a few tries to get right (i.e., they replaced one or two parts unnecessarily before finding the right problem. To their benefit, I took the car to another shop and they didn't know quite what to do either. I've been coming back for two years and will continue to do so. Definitely recommend them! read more

I took my 2004 VW Jetta to Rudy and Peter Motors for a second opinion on an undercarriage rattle after seeing all their excellent reviews here. I'm here to add more praise. I felt compelled to tell my story because it's weird out there trying to get a car fixed without feeling like you're about to be robbed. I'd been told by another garage that the rattle was from worn out control arm bushings and that it would 'only' be $500 or $600 to replace them. I know a certain amount about cars, but I'd never heard of control arm bushings and the idea of dropping $600 into a 2004 vehicle is a big deal to me. When I arrived at my same day appointment at Rudy and Peter Motors, the owner Dirk, said he'd put it up on the hoist and asked that I come back in 20 minutes when he explained that it was a broken bracket in the exhaust system that he could weld for $80 if I left it another hour. I was thrilled with the news, the price, the customer service and Dirk as a person. I was recently given the car when my 92 year old father -- who has kept it in tip top shape -- quit driving, which is an emotional time in a family. I have taken over some of the driving, but I feel responsible to maintain the vehicle to Dad's standards on an artist's budget. I ended up telling Dirk about the stress surrounding my car ownership and how I was waiting to get my parents into an assisted living facility -- and the general strangeness of unexpected eldercare. Dirk didn't do what almost everyone else does when I talk about this. He didn't go all self-referential on me and tell me about his family or someone he knows. He listened and I really appreciated that. I mean, I didn't go on and on, but it was kind of off topic. I apologized for telling him about my situation, and he said there was no need. There are times when cars represent more than transportation, and when things get strange in life we tend to look for people we can trust for assistance. I'd say Dirk is that kind of person. As it happened, I'd told the guy at the first garage the same sort of story -- how I was driving my parents around etc. and that guy launched into a story about his uncle and a situation of elder abuse. He even had me come around the desk and show me photos in an email of the uncle's house having been trashed. He went on for maybe 15 minutes -- all the while calling me by the wrong name! "I couldn't believe my eyes, Wendy!" He must have called me Wendy ten times! I didn't correct him but it started to get a bit weird. So obviously he was pretty rattled himself and wanted someone to talk to and I listened and I hope he felt better, but I wasn't gonna pay him $600 to have the bushings replaced. I don't know if he thought he was creating some sort of 'we're in the same boat' feeling that would bring me back to have the job done, but basically he misread me right down to my name. By contrast, Dirk was everything I want in a mechanic. read more

I had an ICBC claim for my BMW 335IX, which someone had keyed my door. I was able to make an appointment the day I called, and the gentlemen I dealt with was very nice. I was leaving out of town in 2 days and they advised it would be ready when I was back. By surprise they called me the day before I left advising my car was ready. They did a great job and I highly recommend them. read more

These guys charged me $80 dollars for a basic oil change. The reason they charged me $80? They said it took the oil a long time to drain. They completed the job three hours later than they were supposed to, and had the courtesy to charge me extra for a top up on my windshield washer fluid. I seriously hope Vancouver has better mechanics to offer than these guys. read more

Great service! Clearly explained what was needed, did it on time and in budget. Definitely will be getting all my work done here.

I went to Rudy and Pete's for the first time and will be a continued and loyal customer. Derk went WELL out of his way immediately to see to it that my Van was cared for really well. The work they did was exactly what they said it would be, and done professionally, timely and honestly. read more

I took my 07 rabbit in when it was leaking oil and instead of a $1000 fix, Dirk found a solution for $200. To top it off a month later the guys took a look at the car to make sure the fix actually worked and didn't charge a cent. These guys are unbelievable. I've never heard of a mechanic that will go out of their way to actually find you a cheaper fix and then spend another 2 hours on it for free to make sure your ride is working properly! Hands down the best service I've ever had!!! read more
