Z Doctor LLC

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 found my 1972 Datsun 240z in Eagle in 2011 and soon after found about The Z Doctor through word of mouth. After taking my 240z car to Guy he shared things about the Z cars, and my car that I only wished that knew before I purchased mine. The car only had 22,000 original miles but it had also been in a collision that lead me to find another donor car to place this low mileage drivetarin in. Guy performed all the work and has been my only mechanic that I trust will take the absolute best care of it since that time. Guy knows these Z cars inside and out. Guy even has spare parts if needed, or can help locate them. He has helped me over the years from total surgery to adding an after market A/C unit (works great), new stereo and speakers, sound dampening materials in the doors (a must do), along with suspension upgrades, mics fixes, as well as general maintenance. To tell you the truth the list is much more than that but if you need any work done to your Z car don't go anywhere else. Guy knows these cars and cares about his clients. He listens and does great work. I plan on having my 240z for a long time and I know Guy will be the only guy to work on my Z car. Greg Boss, Boise, Idaho

Guy at the Z Doctor is by far the best mechanic I have had the pleasure of working with over the years and I have owned 50 plus cars. Highly knowledgeable and very fair with pricing. He knows datsun 240z inside and out. It really pays to bring it to someone that has his experience, it saves thousands getting it right the first time. He has gone out of his way to help bring my Z car back to life often not even billing for some of the work. He is more than happy to help with answering questions and helping source parts. He treats you like a beloved family member. If you have a datsun Z car make sure to bring it to the Z Doctor I highly recommend it!

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~GP

My first time using the Z Doctor and I was extremely impressed. He installed new brake pads, alternator and gear in my speed sensor. All completed with the utmost professionalism. The most important part was he took care of my car with extreme attention to detail and care for my Z's exterior paint. If you want your Z taken care of right, go see him!
