All I got was "the run around" from other Zcar outfits.   I was gifted an original owner 240Z that was in dilapidated shape at best.  After contacting Al, he responded (without lip service) and formulated a plan to evaluate my car.  After the initial "just get it running" request, it became obvious to me that this was going to be too much for me to do on my own in my garage. Given the good faith that he had demonstrated, I decided to hire the Doctor Datsun for my restoration.  The end product was a nicely done 240Z that I regularly enjoy and get compliments every time I'm out on the road.  I would highly recommend Doctor Datsun to anybody considering this type of process.

Why I love Datsuns!

As a kid my brother-in-law worked at a junkyard that specialized in Z cars so I always had access to parts. He was also an amazing Z car mechanic. I drove my Z all throughout high school and college, changing the design and paint scheme almost yearly. In 1999, at the Hot Import Nights car show, a movie producer rented my Z for a few scenes in a pilot for FAST AND FURIOUS! This solidified my passion for working on Datsuns and the rest is history!
