The owner went out of his way to help diagnose over the phone, offered hours of wisdom and free advice that took decades to acquire. Doc/Guy helped us fix things ourselves, shared rare Z parts and provided in shop diagnostics and precision repair at a very fair price. Others shops would charge more while learning how to repair my son's Z. He has a customer for life. Thanks again for the help~GPServices: General repairs & maintenance

I recently fell in love with an abandoned ‘79 280zx at my general mechanic’s yard. It wasn’t running and had weeds growing over the side. There was just something about it though. I fell in love at first sight and knew I had to have the car. Little did I know one of the best Z mechanics in the country was only 20 minutes from me! (People ship their cars to guy from all over the country to have him restore)Well I bought the car and got it running (terribly albeit) and it would limp along and die after 5-10 minutes. After 3 different mechanics recommended the Z Doctor for this car I took it in for his 3 hr tuneup/ Valve adjustment service. He also helped me get some lock cylinders rebuilt and keyed alike.Response time was slow for the first week as Guy was pre occupied with a couple other projects. Once he got to my car though I was blown away with his level of attention and service.I work at a service center with over 25 technicians on a daily basis. I’ve found that most tech’s bill flat rate and bill as many hours as possible in the least amount of time. Our most efficient techs can bill as much as 20 hrs in a day.Guy (The Z Doctor) is the first mechanic I’ve worked with who I feel works MORE time than he’s actually billing for (or at least works every minute of time billed). In my opinion the value far exceeded the price.Due to his personal connections Guy was able to source a near perfect condition original gas tank for my car and didn’t even charge extra for the drive and to pull the part from the donor. He also went above and beyond cleaning 40+ years of grime off the engine and fixing some of my other mistakes (improperly rated fuel lines etc) while he was in there. His sourcing alone probably saved me over $500, tons of research and time. Plus now my car sounds like a proper sports car and is so much more responsive.Overall, I highly recommend the Z Doctor. Just be patient with your timeline and trust his guidance and you’ll be extremely satisfied.

I’m a new owner of a couple 1973 240z’s. I called Guy to inquire about parts and ask for general guidance and advice on modifying, repairing and maintaining these vehicles. He spent more than 30 minutes of his time answering every question and providing suggestions. His expertise is obvious, and his willingness to help is greatly appreciated and admired. Truly 5 stars!

Fantastic work done on my 280zx. Was running poorly, to say the least, after years of storage. Runs absolutely perfect after the doctor serviced it. His knowledge and attention to detail are second to none. Very fair price. Gotta a Z? Z Doctor is your guy.Services: Electrical repair

If you have a Datsun Z car, this IS your guy. He can also help you with Roadsters (1600 & 2000) and probably any other Datsun. He is versatile and easy to deal with. Reasonable price and quality work.

Guy is thorough, knowledgeable and talkative. He knows and loves Datsun Z cars. Drove my 240Z from Orem to Boise to get some neglected problems repaired. After decades of my bandaids, Guy dug in, finding and fixing dozens of rotten, incorrect, and wornout parts, rebuilt the carbs, antenna, and many other systems. From cooling system problems, to fuel, suspension, and electrical parts.His garage is off the street, but his work is spot on. He's got original parts all over his place, knows what is still available, what the best substitutes are, and where to get anything else.Full of car stories and suggestions, his loquacious exterior hides a very conscientious worker. As he got into working on the car, he'd email updates with pictures. He is very over-booked and in demand, but patience pays off. Waited 4 months to take it in, almost 6 months at the shop, but the results are outstanding. When picked it up, I got work orders, listing all part's cost, labor timecards, a written description of all repairs, and a thumb drive full of photos. He went through the large pile of the parts he removed from my car describing what was wrong with each, mostly worn out.Car now drives like new, my confidence in all aspects of this 240Z (I inherited from my mom) are solid.Still more work is needed in some areas, but I got my money's worth and will take it back to Guy with great confidence.

Guy, the Z Doctor, finally got me in and the result is awesome! I've never had a Datsun 620, who I call Homer Datsun, run this well and I've owned a total of five. The work Guy completed was to remove all choke point emissions then installed a Weber Carb, new intake manifold, ceramic coated header and new exhaust. Homer Datsun runs like a champ! There was only one issue but it was completely out of the Z Doctor's hands. On my way home from picking up the truck, the throttle cable got a little sticky and I had to turn the vehicle off. I called Guy and he closed his shop and drove to where I was stranded. That IS what customer service is all about! I highly recommend the Z Doctor.Thanks Guy!Services: Auto exhaust system replacement

There is a reason Z Doctor is the go-to shop for everything Datsun.Although the shop is focused on the Z car models, Guy is a true Datsun savant - he's seen them all. I brought my Fairlady Roadster to him for a complete once over and was incredibly impressed with the knowledge, skill and care he puts into his work. He approached every problem with a detailed and through estimate of not only cost but the necessity of the repair. Guy is a genuine enthusiast - 100% passionate about Datsuns, his work, and keeping our rare cars on the road.Services: Carburetor cleaning

Guy is awesome! He knows exactly what he's doing, but at the same time so friendly that he didn't give me a bad time for any of the d*** things I've done with my car over the years. He worked with me and is the only reason I can still get to work everyday. Seriously, cannot recommend enough.

Z Doctor is where you want to go to get your car fixed AND not have to pay extra for things you don't need. Guy is honest and will not oversell or take advantage of you. He's fixed a few of my cars and always does a great job.Another shop just tried to charge me $1300 for something I didn't need, and Guy had everything done for significantly less.Cannot recommend Z Doctor enough.

Guy really knows his stuff! If you have an older Datsun and you need to have work done on it, this is the shop. Guy is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what's going on in terms that you can understand. His work is great and his pricing is extremely fair. We need more mechanics like Guy!Services: General repairs & maintenance

Guy has been a superb resource to me analyzing Z Cars that I have been interested in purchasing. His knowledge is extensive and he is just a pleasure to work with. I have owned Z Cars as a hobbyist for decades and have never met anyone as knowledgable. I recommend Guy and Z Doctor to anyone looking for a fair, professional & knowledgeable Z Car shop.

Any "big box" brand mechanic can fix your car but they'll overcharge you, upsell you on things you don't need and take advantage of the fact that you don't have a vast knowledge of cars.I've been going to Guy for close to a decade and it has been the best decision that I could have made when it comes to car maintenance. Guy is personable, educational, honest, hard-working, and to top it all off he's reliable. Guy will never overcharge you or try and sell you something that you don't need. Guy is genuinely the best mechanic in the valley, regardless of what kind of car you bring to him. He's made my Subaru like new while keeping the cost affordable. Guy's gone out of his way to help me and that's just not something that you'll see at any other shop.Guy is the exact person that you want working on your car!
