Auto Repair/Mechanics in San José Costa Rica San Jose, Costa Rica

http://wheelscr.com/ used the years ago and well worth the small fee charged, hear good things all the time

Hello Andrea I used Ignacio Guzman for my car purchase LawyerofCostaRica.com

We are selling our 2013 RAV4 if you are interested? We just purchased it when we moved to CR in March 2016 and did so through Jacqueline Monacell. However, because we live in the Southern Zone, we need something with higher clearance and better off road 4 wheel drive capacity. PM me if you are interested in more info. Otherwise, Jacqueline is very good person to assist with all aspects of purchasing. including incorporating if you want to and getting the car inspected.

I'm trying to build something like that on reddit.com/r/costa_rica - check out Reddit - a much better flow of information than Facebook.

Ok I don't do this often but I know a mechanic who is honest, speaks English and is very dependable. He's located in Pavas his name is Samuel his # is 88544712

Patrick I live in Cartago and I drive to Vargas Araya San Pedro I highly recommend Max Acuna 8828 4496

Thanksyou Arturo Guillermo Bermudez. !

One of the best SUV's for use in CR - Mitsubishi Montero 4 x4 turbo deisel. Here is an example of a nice one for $10,000 but they can be found for less http://crautos.com/usados/economicos-useddetail.cfm?rmax=30&c=98512072

Bill Nixon ~ Ours is a dark hunter green with gold metal fleck and his name is "Kermit". Love this sled:-)

Bill Nixon, we are importing. I was in the auto insurance industry for 10 years and want to get something that hasn't suffered the Costa Rican potholes. Also want the ability to do a solid history and avoid accidentally purchasing a prior salvaged vehicle.

Brother Tom. Please read post before you respond. I said I need a good electrical mechanic AND I Repeat AND a place to get my injectors cleaned. LOL. The electrical problems is another issue. Wiindows, locks, ect. Please send me the info my friend. Greatly appreciated.

many people use CarDoc. I have no experience with them. http://www.tallercardoc.com/index.php/en/

We use Marvin Hidalgo Cortes, he is very good, extremely trustworty, decent prices and speaks good English. He is located a mile or so off highway 3 on the road on right hand side just before Casita del Cafe which is west of town after Barrio Jesus.

Lions Share Bodegas , all you mentioned and more.2451 8063.

I know they will be pricey, but we've used Autostar, the Chrysler/Jeep/bunch of other brands dealership in Uruca, just like dealing with a dealership back in the states, which may or may not be a good thing for you. They are also in Escazu, they stand behind their work if a problem arises. Here's the link, if interested, http://www.autostar.cr/automoviles/

I used http://www.yourcostaricacontact.com/ to buy my car before I even arrived. Picked it up the day after I flew into San Jose. Couldn't have worked better!

Which Puerto Viejo? De Limon (Talamanca), Danny's seems to be a good one. Don't know about Sarapiqui!

Contact Andy Ehlers. He is a broker in Ciudad Colon.

Jose Barrantes on the El Cajon ridge.

Carlos Retana in Parrita is great!

Carlos -- he runs Taller Retana in Parrita 2279-4545 and speaks English.

Dana Johnson Good point! We are in Santa Ana. Robert WilliamWallace unfortunately no.

Charlie Burns it may be that the seller didn't have any idea. There are people here who are bringing a lot of cars in from the states. All the popular models - Rav4, 4Runner, etc. and they are the ones rolling back the odometer before they sell it. In the last year I ran into two people like that with multiple cars that had been rolled back. When confronted with the facts from Carfax they claimed that "someone else did it in the states" before they got it. In any case. Due diligence is necessary.
