This man is a total rip off.I went to buy a car from him the car looked nice and ran decent I gave…read morehim 2500 of the 3500 and was to pay the rest in two payments so I specifically ask him on more than one occasion if he was sure the motor and transmission where good to which he replied that the car would take me wherever I wanted it to I also told him that I'm a single mom and in dire need of a car and could not afford to loose this money to which he replied he's a parent as well and would never do anyone wrong like that my brother ask him as well was the car in good shape.so I get the car drive it about 25 miles home the next morning I drove it maybe 15 miles and a couple hours later another 15 miles the car broke down having transmission trouble so I texted him to let him know and see how we gonna resolve this I have had the car all of maybe 12 hours and have not even been 60 miles in it and it's broke down so the first text he said he was still working he would call when he got off this was 930 at night he never called I told him that this is really a bad way to do business but that he could keep the 500 for his time when really it only my time wasted and return the 2000 I took the car to auto parts store to see if they could diagnose it they said it had no codes but with the symptoms of the car now and the fact that it's a 2015 car and has no saved codes only points to one thing that someone erased them so I will be tKing the car to Ford today to find out all the codes that have been erased and at what milage I sent him a text last night explaining that if I didn't hear from him by 9 am today we would be going to court he finally texted back said that he was not returning my money and still expects the payments.i have had 2 other mechanics tell me that there was no way he didn't know the transmission was bad and he choose to erase the codes and sell me a car he knew was bad and he's a mechanic are you for real any ways just wanted to let everyone know he's a fraud he's a rip off and he has no morels I hope he has the day and life he deserves and we will be going to court

Update! Kevin contacted me, via text after reading the…read morereview, asking that I take the review down and allow him an opportunity to come back out and look at the vehicle, free of charge. Kevin shared that he was at risk of losing his job and was a lead tech, although listed as the owner. 'Management' also contacted and asked that I take the review down and offered to refund the labor. At this point (2 days later) I had already taken the vehicle to the Toyota dealer, as his 'management' advised the vehicle was complex and initially declined looking at the vehicle without another charge. Toyota Diagnosis: improper fitting and installed spark plugs. Cost: 98$ inspection- which was deducted from repair cost. Repair cost total, including one day vehicle rental, 468.79$. I reached back out to Kevin and 'Management', via text and email, three consecutive days- excluding Sunday, explaining the outcome and requesting a partial refund (spark plugs, diagnosis, and labor). I have not received a response and am now seeking civil action. Receipts attached. Again, the purpose of this review is to bring awareness.

First of all, Jeremy was kind, funny and professional. Their staff is also diverse and professional. The place is extremely clean and they are even thoughtful enough to have snacks and coffee. But the kicker for me? How thorough the inspection report was. The money was well worth it for the amount of detail that was put into the report and made me feel more educated on the condition of the vehicle. I certainly will be back.

Not only did Christian Brothers…read moreshow amazing hospitality, but they were very informative and made sure I understood all that was going on with my car issue. They were able to identify the issue and resolve it in a timely manner. I know for a lot of car repair shops, it often takes days maybe even sometimes weeks to do a big repair. In my case, I had a semi-intense repair needed for my engine and they were able to resolve it within 2 days. As a woman, it is important to me that I am being treated fairly and with kindness when engaging in conversations and inquiries with a car repair shop. The shop was very clean which is important to me since often times, people will choose to wait in the shop why their car is being repaired or services. As stated, they were very informative, approachable, and even showed pictures displaying the issue of my car while also providing the severity of it. It's been about 3 weeks since my repair and I haven't had any issues with it since. Definitely will be my go to car repair shop if I ever run into any issues in the future.

Update to the response: Pat has stated he doesn't run a "charity" but clearly he thinks his…read morecustomers do, because I paid him and his employee to cause damage to my vehicle, which I now have to take to a professional mechanic shop to be repaired correctly. This will take more money, time and frustration. Pat failed to address that I asked him to quote the job prior to work being done, and instead he completed the work and then demanded what I felt was overcharging based on the scope of work. This is not how to professionally conduct one self. Mistakes happen, but the lack of communication and me having to discover his shoddy work later is the issue. The money is not the issue, but the approach he took is unethical. If you are okay with a mechanic that's untrustworthy, unreliable, unprofessional and takes zero accountability, this is the mechanic for you! If you choose to use this business you have been warned. I recommend having a backup professional to fix this guy's mistakes, and then plan on paying for work more than once. Like I stated earlier, mistakes happen, it's unfortunate this guy has no intention of learning from them. Communication is key. Don't cover up your mistakes and not take ownership. It makes you look bad. I do not recommend using this mechanic. I asked for a quote to remove locking lugs nuts on my wife's Kia, and after completing the job Patt told me the price which I thought sounded too high and was expecting to get a quote prior to the work being done, not after. I explained that I had no idea it was going to cost that much and he knocked $100 off the price. Later I discovered that Pat and another young man that works for him, had cross threaded 3 wheel studs on 2 different wheels. Given the time, money and frustration I would recommend saving your hard earned money and contacting a professional mechanic. I understand mistakes happen, but the lack of integrity and poor communication are just bad business. Lesson learned on my end. I will never trust this guy to touch another vehicle again.

I have been taking my car to J & C Auto for over 10 years of service. I drive a 25 year old car…read morethat has limited mileage on the vehicle. The lead mechanic/owner is very good at fixing what immediately needs to be fixed and outlining what has more time before it needs to be addressed. This helps me managing repairs over time instead of being hit with an astronomical bill. Most shops try to get you for every bit of work they can get in while they have your attention. J & C is not in the business of fixing every item that needs repair on your car if there is life on item they will make you aware and let you determine if you want to move forward. Being honest and truthful goes a long way with me. J & C auto displays this character.

** I Feel Taken Advantage Of -- Deeply Disappointed**…read more I'm heartbroken and angry after my recent experience with J & C Auto on Bright Star Rd. in Douglasville. I brought my car in to have the front bumper replaced, and was **never told** it would cost an additional \$1,500-\$2,000 to have it painted. I was in constant contact with Juan (owner's son), and I totally feel as if he took advantage of me. When I arrived to pick my car up and saw that UGLY bumper, I was floored! And oh, he was VERY apologetic for "not telling me" the bumper came primed AFTER I'd already paid them \$1,100, but made zero effort, ZERO attempt to make it right and retain my business. He had the nerve to say out of his mouth, "Ma'am, we wanted to do our best to save you money and get your back to you as soon as possible." What??!! I am no dummy. I know what primed means. I know that many exterior car part replacements come primed, which is why I texted Juan while they still had my car to request a quote to replace my passenger-side mirror and SPECIFICALLY asked for a bottom line that includes the cost to paint it which, by the way, was a ridiculous amount! He actually tried to tell me it was that expensive because they have to 'program' it. Goodbye! What hurts even more is that I truly believe I was treated differently -- and unfairly -- because I came in alone as a woman. I had taken my car here once before in 2024, but that time my ex-husband was with me. The difference was night and day: the communication was clear, the pricing was fair, and I felt respected. This time, I felt dismissed and misled, like I wasn't taken seriously or worthy of the same transparency. No one should be made to feel like they're being taken advantage of because of their gender. I trusted this shop, and now I feel completely betrayed. Ladies, beware. Spend your hard-earned money at an auto shop that sees you, respects you, and won't prey on your ignorance or your wallet. Do better, J & C Auto.
