I have a ‘67 21 window that has been worked on by as many “ VW mechanics” as I can remember. None of them could get my guy running the way the boys at RMF have. They always take great care of our “Wilson” and keep him ready for the next journey. RMF is fair all the way around. I had a number of “gremlins” in my bus and they chased them all out and didn’t take me to the cleaners. They care about your car as much as you do.

We had the opportunity of taking our newly purchased 68 Beetle to RMF, and Wow, they did not disappoint. Brent was top notch and walked us through everything that needed to be done. The work was thorough and meticulously done, and not a spec of grease left in the car. Our beetle is safe to drive and runs great now, We highly recommend them, best VW repair shop anywhere. Thanks again

Absolutly love the service at RMF i have bought a couple parts from them. Gone in multiple times. Never disappointed! Always willing to help out and have never been led in the wrong direction.

Cool place for older VW's. I have never had them do mechanical work but have certainly picked up a lot of used parts.

I got a tell ya, Chuck made things really easy for me. I live in my van full-time and I needed some brake service and an oil change. I brought it to him Monday morning and had it back Tuesday afternoon! Good service, good price, great guy!

I have an orange 1973 Super Beetle that is in need of some work. The mechanics at RMF are friendly, professional, and charge very fair prices. Even though I don't know much about cars, they make me feel welcome every time I go in for repairs and kindly educate me on exactly what's going on with my vehicle. The prices are good, and they go over repairs/pricing with you before doing anything which I also very much appreciated. Brent will be my mechanic for life!

Rebuilding a 1970 VW Karmann Ghia and they always had the parts I needed at a reasonable price. Very helpful in dealing with the nuances of this car and always cheerful. For parts and service for VW air cooled, they are one of the best in the valley!

Seems like a neat place, but you can tell they’re not too worried about customer service. Gentleman working there was very rude. Would rather pay for shipping and order parts online.

I called and spoke to a guy about a code on my car I already had read, he told me they could fit me in the next day in the afternoon. I showed at 12, and the guy ridiculed me for coming in during lunch and then the other guy told me they were "weeks out" from helping. I asked why I was scheduled to come in and the guy said "we could scan your car then"...obvious lack of attention to customer's conversation and completely waisted an hour of my time. I will personally help with their over scheduling as I will never go back.

Brent, Lind & Jon are true car guys. The passion and knowledge that they have for these Volkswagen's is obvious. As a proud owner of a 1966 VW Beetle, I can say that quality of work and knowledge at RMF is outstanding. Other than taking your VW back to Wolfsberg Germany, there is no place I would take my Beetle for service but RMF. Thank you Brent and crew for your commitment to quality work and service.

If we could take RMF with us on the road we would. This is the best mechanics shop we have been to. We had the real axle on our ‘89 VW Westy replaced and the guys also helped to catch a fuel leak. We would have been stranded in Boise if it were not for them. Thank you for your customer service and your diligence. You took great care of our van home!

Chuck has been working on our Cabriolet for about 12 years now! He knows his stuff and has diagnosed and fixed some very odd issues for us! I would not take my car to another shop, this crew is hands down the best!

We were traveling through Boise when our Eurovan camper had a major problem. John was able to get us in right away, telling us they try to prioritize travelers, which we really appreciated. Chuck's a great mechanic and was very thorough in diagnosing. They were sharp about where to order older parts, got them overnighted and we were on our way the next day. While awaiting parts, they figured out an electrical problem that was causing a rear tail light to go out. John kept us informed all along the way and presented a very reasonable final bill. They saved our trip!! So many thanks!!!
