THAT IS FLAT OUT NOT TRUE! JAY AND HIS MECHANIC ARE NOT…read moreHONEST PEOPLE MORE LIKE DISHONEST! APRIL 2026- I took my 2023 Nissan car into Pan Am Automotive to have Jay put on new Nissan front end brake pads to include the hardware and shave the rotors . What his mechanic ended up doing was giving me generic brake pads not using new hardware and not shaving the rotors so here we are two days later and my front end brakes are still squeaking. I called back Jay on the phone told him that my brakes were still squeaking he stated to come back in he would charge me again just minus the labor he stated that I might need new rotors well clearly he should have done that work from the get-go and we wouldn't be in the situation but he wants to charge twice for brake pads and to put on hardware and rotors that wasn't in the original price. The price I paid was in the ballpark of $325 for him to put on generic brake pads with old hardware and not shaving the rotors if you're going to get a brake job you got to do it the correct way all the way not half ass . Days later I went into the Nissan dealership where the certified Nissan mechanic stated by looking at my brake pads that they were not Nissan brake pads and that the mechanic had used old hardware and did not shave the rotors down like he was supposed to hence the reason why they're still squeaking. So, no, Jay and his mechanic are not honest people.

I found Triage Automotive using Yelp Projects late at night. Triage was first to reply very early…read morein the morning, which was surprising to me because I had not expected such an early or quick response. Since I knew, in general, what the issue was going to be, I explained the issue, and we made arrangements for me to being my pickup truck in for a free diagnostic. Mind you, the sun hadn't already come up yet, and Triage was open and running already. The auto shop is tucked away off Bitters Rd between several other speciality garages. The waiting area was a clean and friendly with a wide window looking into the garage where you can see the mechanics at work. There were amenities such as bags of snacks, coffee, a water cooler, and a television. They had immediate availability and were quick to confidently diagnose the exact issue showing me the problem. A quote for the part I needed, as well as the removal and replacement of said part, was written up, and the owner offered to drive me to home or work while the repair was performed. I took him up on it, and he's a great guy. Keep in mind, all of this happened before other auto shops even opened for the day! Jacob, the manager and mechanic who worked on my vehicle serviced it promptly, letting me know status periodically. Since it was a reasonably simple repair, Jacob picked me up early that afternoon to take me back to the shop and finalize the service. My pickup was repaired, and I was back on the road before any other auto shops had even answered my Yelp Projects inquiry. The shop I had previously used for service had scheduled me three days out. As someone who does mechanic work myself and relies on my vehicle, I can confidently say Triage's expertise and urgency in getting me back on the road kept my business running with minimum downtime. The price was fantastic on labor too. Very competitive. I will be recommending them in the future for sure!

First time writing a review on a business…read more... My car engine locked and needed my car fixed ASAP. Looked around and came across this business, I called and asked to see if they could fixed my car ( car needed a new engine) and how much would it cost. J.P. gave me a good quote and a quick turn around on the repair. Once the car was fixed, J P and I test drove the car. I was back in business. From this point on my car repairs will be going to J P. I highly recommend anyone needing help with car issues to call JP, him and his staff are very professional and honest. Thank you guys for being honest and friendly, see you soon for my oil change.

Disappointing and Costly Experience…read more I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from this mechanic. I brought my vehicle to him trusting that he would properly diagnose and repair the problem. Unfortunately, after picking up my vehicle, I drove only eight miles before it started doing the exact same thing it was doing before the supposed repair. I immediately called the mechanic and explained what was happening. He advised me to drive the vehicle back to his shop. I specifically asked him if driving it back could cause the engine to blow, and he assured me that it would not. I trusted his professional advice and followed his instructions. Now, I am left without a vehicle because the engine has blown. This situation has put me in an extremely difficult position. I live on a fixed income, and I cannot afford to simply replace an engine or purchase another vehicle. What makes this situation even more heartbreaking is that the mechanic knew I have a serious, rare blood disorder that prevents me from being out in the heat or direct sunlight for extended periods. Having reliable transportation is not just a convenience for me; it is important to my health, safety, and daily well-being. I trusted this mechanic to fix my vehicle correctly and to give me honest, responsible advice about whether it was safe to drive. After spending money on a repair that apparently did not resolve the original problem, I am now facing an even greater financial hardship and the loss of my transportation. I understand that mechanical problems can sometimes be complicated, but when a customer specifically asks whether driving a vehicle could cause the engine to blow, that concern should be taken seriously. I relied on the reassurance I was given, and now I am the one left dealing with the consequences. I am deeply frustrated and disappointed by this entire experience. I feel that my situation, my financial limitations, and my health concerns were not given the consideration they deserved. I am now left without transportation, on a fixed income, and unsure how I am going to get back on my feet. I hope this mechanic takes responsibility for what happened and makes an effort to resolve this situation fairly. No customer should have to go through this after trusting a professional to repair their vehicle. I am sharing my experience so that other customers understand what happened to me and make informed decisions before trusting this shop with their vehicles.
