Jim's Automotive Repair - Timing belt

Jim's Automotive Repair

(10 reviews)

Dedication and strong conviction, with decent advice. Over many years Jim's repaired many makes of…read morevehicles, and they didn't mind working on older run down working trucks. On a separate note I have a long standing beef with an employee of Jim, Arron Musgrove. It so happens I was from the town of Gaston. Long story short Scotty and Dan Geiger had wasted Aaron's peppermint snapps liquor. Aaron returned after work, needing his liquor. Scotty was a few years older as with Dan, apparently they both framed me in wasting the liquor. But I didn't drink any. My dad gave Arron a twenty. It was all down hill with constant scapegoating and belittling. As well I was smeared as Hispanic or part Mexican. I'm not Hispanic nor Mexican. If I was I would embrace that and have more friends of that culture.

Jims automotive installed a timing belt on my car . When it was done I picked it up and brought it…read morehome I was happy to have it done I opened my hood to hear it run and look at it and I noticed 4 bolts sitting in the spots they go into on the spark plug cover . The bolts were not even hand tight . I was baffled and I thought ok I'll tighten those down and never go back to Jim's automotive in forest grove . Well I had that timing belt done April 22 this year 2024 . So driving home July 18 so less than 3 months later and I hear the worst sound coming from my engine . I wasn't going to have it towed to Jim's no way so I took it to a Japanese car specialist . He opened it up and the timing belt was shredded. They found a bolt that had come loose from the install that Jim's did . So I called the owner Jim and asked him if he would pay the other shop to fix what they did wrong and he said no . He did offer to fix the work but I told him no way will I ever bring my car back to them . When I spoke to him, he told me that sometimes when you take your car to another shop, they noticed things that the previous shop might not have picked up because of an extra set of eyes. I think this is total BS I should be able to depend on the shop that I take my car to in the first place, I expect my car to be fixed the first time if not the first time then maybe the second time but there's no way I would bring it back to them a third time. This is my experience with jims automotive and Forest Grove. I am going to be out a lot of money out of pocket because they did the job incorrectly. The first time the install they did did a lot of damage to my engine and now I am out of pocket just be aware of jims automotive if you have had good luck with them then that's great but this is my experience with them. They will not pay for another shop to fix it correctly and they will only fix it on their dime. If I bring it to them, I will never bring any of my vehicles to them. Unfortunately, this was a very bad experience. I don't know what I will do from here as far as trying to recoup my money back I have talked to a couple attorneys and we will see where it goes but be aware of jims automotive unless you want to take it back to them multiple times to make it right in my eyes you shouldn't have to take a car back to have it repaired multiple times because they didn't do the job right the first time I am going to upload some pictures and you can see the damage that has been done. I probably have bent valves. I'm probably gonna need some head work. It's probably gonna cost me around $4000, and this was all done because of preventative maintenance. I didn't even need to have my timing belt done at that time. The only reason I did it is because I had the money and I had about 15,000 miles before it was due. My car ran completely fine before I dropped it off to them the first time.

I bought my daughter a car from Grove. We needed a car right away and found the perfect one. Sam…read morewas very helpful and nice! Their 3 month warranty was amazing. Everyone in the shop was very nice and they worked with us getting the car to perfect running order. Buying a used car is frustrating and Grove made it so much better. I will definitely recommend them and I'll definitely be back to buy another car from them in the future. Great customer service!

Check engine light came on and they gladly took it in to their shop and replaced the mass air flow sensor, only to have the light come on again before I left. Their lead mechanic let me go with him to drive it with their computer hooked up to the truck and was very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. At that point, he recommended a new fuel pump, which they ordered that day. They installed the new fuel Pump and also found one of the spark plug wires was bad and grounding out as well. They replaced ALL of my plug wires as a courtesy! Not gonna lie, I was Leary about purchasing a vehicle here at first, but we are thoroughly pleased with the OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE from their service center!!! The service shop manager and foreman are definitely going to help this place thrive! We would definitely purchase here again! Recommended
