I want to thank Russ and his team for the amazing experience we experienced purchasing our car. This was without a doubt the best $390 dollars I have ever spent. I started this project many months before we were going to purchase. Russ was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to my questions. He crafted concise responses that answered every one of my questions no matter how trivial. This dialogue went on for many months even with the possibility that we would ultimately not use his service.

We were very specific about the cars we would consider. A Suzuki Vitara 4×4 in automatic was our desired model and is what we ended up purchasing. We were even able to come in well under budget. The vehicle has been flawless so far after 400 miles of driving. This San José city queen has adapted beautifully to the rigors of the Nicoya Peninsula, and has become a Santa Teresa mountain goat. The 4×4 Low range is absolutely perfect for the chore.

The chauffeuring around San Jose to the various car options alone is worth the price of admission. All aspects of the purchase including the legal component as well as mechanics inspection and subsequent repairs and maintenance were fully coordinated by Russ.

I am a decent mechanic and came prepared with my scanner and tools for diagnosis, but ultimately we wanted a mechanic to confirm my findings and to inspect prior to purchase. I want to give an extra special shout out to Oscar, a mechanic that Russ uses. Finding exceptional mechanics in Costa Rica is a struggle. Oscar is one for sure. He was able to perform all of the maintenance and repairs that we requested in a timely manner at very
reasonable prices. He was proactive and did not like the way the gear selector was a little sloppy. He pulled the selector and linkage and noticed a worn bushing. Rather than replacing the entire part he sent the bushing to a machine shop and had another fabricated. That is the kind of service I appreciate.

Russ and his team were absolutely unbelievable. They took a task that I was dreading and turned it into a cherished experience. Thanks again!
