They got my car purring again
Josef S.

Got the car running again. I came to see the guys at European Auto Services because of the great online reviews, the great quote, and how easy it was to schedule an appointment over the phone. Eventually tough I arrived early, they accommodated my needs, got the job done right, quick, and were very patient in explaining everything they've done. I found my new mechanics (even if I hope not to have to see the too often). I have a couple annoying dings on the passenger side doors, and since they do body work aswell, it might be time to have those things fixed. Thanks John and Ian!

Before- I needed a repaint
Amanda K.

John goes above and beyond to ensure the vehicles undergo the correct diagnostics and resolution. This time was coolant issue in my Range Rover. During service, i requested a repaint quote for my hood. I approved the quote and he conducted that while my car was being serviced. Due to some schedule constraints, car exchange was incredibly effortless and efficient above and beyond normal service. Will always take my cars to European Auto

When my Defender's warranty expired, I was concerned about having it serviced at an independent dealer. I was relieved after my experience at European Auto Service. John and his team did a brilliant job. The service was performed perfectly, quickly and at a price I was very happy with. Their technical knowledge is also impressive and they always have your back. I have found my new service home to keep my Defender in top condition.

If could give six stars I would. Thank goodness I found John and European Auto Service. I had taken my 2014 pristine Aston Martin DB9 to another shop for an oil change. They couldn't clear the service light, and less than a month later another service light appeared regarding the emissions system. Rather than take it to a shop that couldn't handle my rare car I did a ChatGPT search and the AI recommended European and I gave them a call. Expert service, they diagnosed and fixed all the problems including a ticking time bomb of a leak at the oil filter. I'm grateful for the professional treatment from all the staff especially John and Ian. I will definitely be taking all my rare and precious vehicles there and would highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about this shop. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of outstanding! The level of professionalism, craftsmanship, and knowledge here is rare these days. They installed an M10 engine from a 1980 320i in my 1974 BMW 2002. Then they installed a complete custom built standalone engine management system and custom wiring harness into the car, allowing them to use modern electric fuel injection. They also performed a manual transmission conversion using a rare 5 speed transmission from a late E21. A lot of fabrication works were added to make this work in harmony...They tested and tuned the setup to achieve better than factory levels of drivability, and much higher performance! Every detail was handled with care, precision and obvious expertise. It's clear they understand these cars inside and out and take real pride in their work! If you're looking for a restoration shop that treats your car like their own, look no further! I'm beyond happy with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend John and his team to anyone!

Damage from collision

Another great experience John and his team saved the day again after my sons car was damaged in an accident They also were kind and patient while the situation was scary for us Below the before and after photos Thank you again

Sometimes when a business has a lot of five-star reviews it's apparent that many of the reviews aren't authentic. If you read European Auto Service's five-star reviews, you can tell that what customers have written is based on experience. I am going to add a five-star review and it is based on my experience. I have a 2006 BMW 330 CI (it's old, but very loved and has low mileage). I love the car (I said that already, but it's true), but I was trying to decide if putting money into it (rather than buying a new vehicle) continued to make sense. I did a financial breakdown and came to the conclusion -- if I could find a place that would fix the things that needed fixing (and that involves knowledge and care, because the car is almost 20 years old)--I would. But this was the tricky part. Because BMW dealerships don't know a lot about (or show much care) when it comes to older models. And paying for what they do know comes at a ridiculous cost (literally). So I searched the internet for a business that would be able to fix both mechanical and body imperfections. And I discovered European Auto Service and read all of the five-star reviews. And then I had a phone conversation with John, the owner. And that was all it took to get me to drive almost an hour both ways to have my car assessed. I could write a book (I am well on my way with this review) about all of the ways that I have been blown away by the customer service, care, knowledge and thoughtfulness that I was shown by John and his team. They are skilled, kind, professional, they know what they are doing --- but their secret sauce (and it's no secret) is that they love what they do. John and Ivan took the time to explain what my 330 CI needed and also what it didn't really need. Not only did I never felt pressured or overcharged--the opposite was true. I felt I was treated honestly and with respect. And in 2025, when people often don't speak kindly to each other and great customer service is a thing of the past, that goes a very long way. They fixed what needed to be fixed and the car runs and looks better than it has in probably a decade. And I felt the price I paid for that was fair. I know (because John told me) that there will be future issues with my old (very, loved) car. But now I feel good about keeping it, because I feel very good about the place I have to take it. And I suspect, if there comes a time when I should replace it, John will let me know. And I will believe him.

"Vesper" getting serviced
Mario P.

I was looking for a place to inspect my newly acquired Jaguar XK (I bought it from out-of-state) and to also have some regular maintenance that I thought was overdue based on the previous owner's records (brake fluid flush and 4-wheel alignment). I decided to give European Auto Service a try due to the stellar reviews I had read on Google and Yelp. Let me tell you: I was impressed by the operation and the service provided. John and his team are very professional and I can see why they are in demand. I very much appreciated how thorough and courteous John was when going through the inspection with me. During inspection, it was determined a power steering fluid flush was also needed (the fluid in the reservoir was orange-brown instead of the ruby red color it should be). John also gave me the option of moving forward with or cancelling the alignment that I had originally requested. The alignment was just outside of Jaguar's specifications and he wanted me to be aware so I didn't pay for something that wasn't necessarily needed. I still asked John and his team to continue with the alignment, but it was that kind of gesture that further cemented the good impression I already had of this establishment. I will definitely be bringing my Jaguar for service in the future. Highly recommended.

John and team brought this 190sl back to better than 1961 factory new condition!

See all

Had to update the stereo/reciever on my Toyota Camry so i searched on Yelp and found JB Customs. So…read moreglad i did!! The service was A+ All the way. The quality of service was amazing. jB made sure i was informed on what was being installed and the recommendations were spot on to both the car and my wallet. I would highly recommend JB Customs for all your car audio needs.

I cannot hype up JB Customs enough. I brought in my Mustang Mach-E for two upgrades -- a light-up…read morepony emblem and new door sills -- and the entire experience was absolutely perfect. First of all, the price was hands-down the fairest anywhere nearby. I called multiple shops before choosing this one, and everyone else gave me outrageous quotes. JB Customs offered a price that was extremely reasonable -- honestly shockingly cheap for the quality of work. And the install? Ridiculously fast. He works with surgeon-level precision but somehow finishes everything faster than any shop I've ever dealt with. The light-up pony came out flawless -- clean wiring, perfect alignment, no gaps, no issues. It looks factory, but better. The door sills (non-illuminated) were installed perfectly as well. Straight, secure, spotless -- exactly how they should look. Not a single scratch or misalignment. On top of all that, he's friendly, honest, and clearly takes pride in his craft. No upselling, no pressure -- just real professionalism. If you want any custom work done -- cosmetic, lighting, accessories -- JB Customs is the ONLY place you should take your car. Fast, fair, flawless. This shop deserves way more recognition.

This is the worst place to do business with online and the customer service is the worst I have…read moreever dealt with in my life. Now I'm not one to request a service or talk bad about someone without providing the receipts but here are attached my contact that got no response till this day, my email that didn't get a reply, my Instagram messages that never got a reply and a promise of having them ready and the Facebook messages with some replies but ultimately ending in the same result, no response and flaking. I also called multiple times and left voicemails and no response. I also had a friend who previously ordered some and he ignored it. The service requested was a pair of headlights and provided the color and itching and here I am getting no responses. I was not requested a deposit or anything .This kind of service does not provide any kind of value in the market , where a customer orders something and there is no response. He also deliberately asked me to take down my post because of his poor reputation and I did but with no result. Too many chances with no proper service. Go somewhere else with your money. 0/10. I waited since December and nothing. You can see him messaging me from his personal account, and still no reply. There is no accountability. Cant hide the messages and receipts. There is still no attempt to fix the request to purchase new lights.
