After getting tired of sitting in the dealers for 2 1/2 hours only to have them come out to tell me I needed more services that I suspected I really didn't need, I decided to try a local repair shop. Am I ever glad I did! Much shorter wait time, cost less and no laundry list of additional services. I recommend. read more

After visiting a franchise dealer service department , I went to JB Auto Works because I felt like the franchise was ripping me off. JB was recommended by a friend and after using JB Auto I had a friend who had been a GM at various dealer franchises for twenty some years and knew the car business, look at my bill from JB. He said all the charges were fair and not inflated. He stated I should feel comfortable dealing with JB Auto works. read more

Wish we didn't drop our car off at 9:00, only to have it ready after 5:00. The work was done with no problems.

We drove our car down from Michigan and going through Tennessee, noticed the oil pressure light came on briefly. Checked the oil and it was down three quarts. Filled it up and kept checking at every gas up til we got to Sarasota. We Checked for recommendations and JB Auto came up so we drove 20 miles or so. It was worth it! They were completely booked up but offered to quickly hoist it to give it a look, just to see what we were dealing with. Turned out the oil cap had a hairline crack which, under pressure, was spraying oil all over the place. They had one on hand so they just switched it out along with the filter and oil! Life saver!! Friendly, honest, and knowledgeable- Highly recommend read more

These guys are very nice and honest! I always feel comfortable coming here and at a great price! I always recommend to anyone I know!

This place did my rear drum brakes. I did the front disc brakes myself but I knew that I can't do drum brakes so I need to get it done. Mine were shot. I asked them to check the front brakes to make sure everything was proper. They did check which gave me peace of mind. Well my car brakes better now and the petal is more firm. When I got there to get my repair done, they called a taxi for me so I can get home while waiting for the repair to be done. They were very honest and the owner Jim is a very nice guy. I recommend this auto repair shop. read more

Took my car to JB's 3 times for same reason and they still haven' fixed it, the 4th time they couldn't fit me in for a week so I took it somewhere else and they told me to take it back to JB's "should be under warranty" JB's told me NO WARRANTY! Then after that a friend told me he got a oil change and they left the cap off, funnel and rags under the hood? read more

Excellent across the board. Explain everything they were going to do and how important it was to have a front alignment before putting new tires. So glad I took Mr. Bradley Smith's advice. I drove my car to Osprey and barely had to tough the wheel. I recommend this shop. Thank Skyler for explaining to me how the alignment machine works and great job! read more

We have used JB auto in the past and always received incredible service. We moved to another state and recently returned to Florida. Upon arriving we had an issue with our car and once again Jim came to the rescue. He stopped what he was working on to assist us. His work is top notch and his prices extremely reasonable. We will never hesitate to recommend him whenever someone is looking for a mechanic. read more

I would rate JB Auto Works and Jim much more than 5* if possible. Traveling from Virginia, I came into the shop at 6 PM with a tire that had a side puncture. Jim diagnosed it and called around to get a replacement. When he found the tire could only be purchased from Tire Kingdom, he gave me the info on where to get the new tire and put on the spare to get me there. He would not accept any payment for his work!! He made a bad day very good for me. Thanks so much, Jim. Barbara read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find a trustworthy repair shop!! I thought my tail light was out but Jim checked it out and informed me it was working fine! I live In Sarasota but will drive to Nokomis for any future repairs! read more

Jim was professional and knowledgeable....and what a nice guy!! I brought my 04 Seabring in for a total evaluation. He checked it over thoroughly and no one could ever beat his price!! There should be no hesitation about bringing your car to Jim. I highly recommend JB Auto Works. read more

Jim was fair and honest. He actually charged me $30.00 less than the original quote to replace my AC. He told me that the parts were $30.00 and he passed that savings on to me . read more

JB Auto repair helped us when we were in a bind. While on a mini vacation to the beach our car began stalling- I was already aware a sensor needed replaced. I googled nearest mechanic and called - I was told to bring it in. Well a couple hours later, two uber rides, and a very affordable price we had our 05 Nissan Xterra back and in perfect working order! Thank you very much! read more

For a few months I kept finding oil under my car. I took my car to my usual guy, he barely looked under my car, claimed my oil plug was loose which he supposedly tightened, then sent me on my way. A week later on New Year's Eve I noticed a good amount of oil under my car again. I called Jim right away and he told me to come in. As soon as I got there he pulled my car in and gave it a thorough look over. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it quickly. Thankfully it was just a small problem with my old oil filter, not the plug. I was very grateful and pleased that on a holiday, late in the day Jim not only fixed the problem quickly but he was honest, efficient and clean. He looked my car over and made sure it was safe for me to leave, I was in and out in less than an hour and haven't seen a drop of oil on the driveway since. 2 HUGE thumbs ups! thanks Jim! read more
