Can't speak to the poor reviews I see here. What I can tell you is that J&J Automotive - also locally known as Jack's - is as good as it gets for repair. The worst problem is that nearly everyone in town already knows that - and he's just crazy busy with work. He's backed up with just his regular customers (who are legion) - it wouldn't surprise me if he turned down a new person because it might be a couple of weeks before he could get to him.
My personal experience was with a Ford Expedition with an electrical problem (caused by the previous owner's idiocy) that took a huge amount of time to solve. A kid who put in a stereo system (badly) and thoroughly disrupted the entire electrical wiring as a consequence. It was a horrible hack job.
And he didn't charge me for that time. We are literally talking thousands of dollars out of HIS pocket to his employees to solve it. And I know his employees are competent. As a consequence, along with some other repairs, the vehicle is running smooth as silk, and the electrical is solved forever. Any other shop would have just walked away from the problem: but Jack didn't, and wouldn't and lost money solving it for me. Working with Ford, he went through every electrical component.
That's certainly not the only repair he's done for me on this vehicle, and all the work he's done has been done well.
I've been to other shops in town. Some are OK, some I will never go back to because I don't trust them. Jack is my first choice, each and every time. I trust the work, I trust his people, and I trust Jack. My wife and I just purchased a "new" used vehicle, and I'm hoping we can get Jack and crew to go over it. He's my first go-to choice in auto repair. Period. read more
