Very fair and honest service. Jim's Auto Service and Nate were recommended and they treated me well on two occasions.

My only repair shop to go to in the mountains excellent service and work highly recommended !

Great family run business. Service is always top notch!! They always go the extra mile

I love Jim's Auto! They are a local family run business that treats all customers like friends and family. You get an honest, never inflated estimate and frequent updates regarding the status of your repair/maintenance. Just this weekend my 21 Tacoma wouldn't start. I was able to coast it in neutral down the hill and to the shop with some help from some of the Crestline Firefighters that saw me struggling. The truck was receiving all kinds of electrical system codes and brake system codes. Nate was able to determine that one of aftermarket taillights I had went bad and was shorting out the entire system. I bought OEM taillights at Redlands Toyota and dropped them off. Nate installed the taillights and had me back on the road for only $70! I can't recommend them enough! read more

We take all our vehicles here for service and emergencies...never charges for what you don't need! Honest people with great prices. Family owned and run so the service here is amazing! Ask for Nate, he's the best read more

Best auto spot in San Bernardino period, quality work and great value. I truly enjoy taking my car into them!

My neighbor recommended Jim's Auto to me to help with my Dana 70 rear differential because it was making a clunking noise while shifting into reverse. Made an appointment and a mechanic/owner took me in right on time. He spent at least 20 minutes diagnosing the noise and said the driveshaft was fine, but there was play in the yoke. The mechanic/owner offered several solutions to this problem including recommending another shop that specializes in differentials to actually having an expert he trusted to come to his shop to open the differential and do a complete rebuild. This was a reasonable price that would include a locker if I wanted one. The mechanic/owner seemed to bent over backwards to help me, a complete stranger. Just think how he treats his regular customers? He looked very busy, but he took the time to help me and didn't charge me a thing for his troubles, recommendations and solutions. read more

This shop is so wonderful. Great work and prices. They go above and beyond and I will never go anywhere else. Nicole (probably spelt her name wrong) and Nate are just really good people. Wonderful part of our community. read more

The Robinsons are owner/operators, and they are simply the best: honest, thorough, extremely competent, fairly priced, dependable, and I could go on. Jim's is a rare gem of an auto shop. read more

Honest and knows what he is doing. I will go to him every time. Once I was driving down the hill and this loud noise was coming from my front somewhere and drove backup slowly and straight to Jims. He came out pretty fast and had me start it put it in reverse and back forward and knew what it was. A rock got in in between the brakes and drum. He got it out in less than a minute and said no charge, He is just great !!! read more

I recommend this family owned business good work fair prices and recommendations if needed

Great auto shop for the mountains! Reliable service, reasonable prices, and fantastic customer service and customer interaction.

I can't recommend Jim's Auto Service enough. They're very knowledgeable, accurate, honest and well priced. Nate and Jesse really know their stuff and Nicole is so efficient and such a pleasure to talk to. When we moved to the mountain, we had to find a new place to take our vehicles. We are SO happy we found Jim's! read more

Honest and reliable service at a great price, Nate and Jim's Auto came highly recommended by literally dozens of my long time mountain friends. Needed a check engine light rectified then a smog check and Nate got it all done accurately and quickly. Highly recommended but make an appointment, they're busy. read more

Jim's auto is always my go to! My Subaru broke down and I panicked and I got it towed to Jim's because I knew I would be treated well. Nate, his wife, and the crew are always kind. I know the inconvenience of not having a car is difficult but Jim's auto service always knows what to do and handles it with kindness! I would recommend this garage to everyone! My husband and I know Nate as the Subaru whisperer. Thank you to the Jim's auto service team! I always enjoy doing business with you guys. read more

My check engine light came on and I was panicking a little because I have a long drive planned in a few days. I live down the street from the shop and called in, the woman on the phone was friendly and told me they could help out. I headed over and Nate came out and took a look at my car right away with no wait. He was personable and helpful along with his dog, and within a couple minutes he identified a problem under the hood that was likely the cause for the light. He promptly fixed it, reset the light, told me to bring it back in if there's any more issues - and wouldn't even accept a payment! Obviously a trust worthy shop and a solid mechanic. I'm very grateful and will definitely be coming to this shop next whenever I need help. read more

Everyone is awesome. Worth driving up the mountain. These people know their shit! Completely satisfied and honestly impressed. Been to "complete" auto care shops but these guys made them look like the G league. I feel like I stole something! Thank you Jim's. 10/10. read more

Great experience! I have gone there twice for a smog check. Quick, kind, easy & reasonably priced.

We have dealt with Jim's Auto a couple of times now and could not be happier. They're honest, respectful, reliable and fair. We are so thankful to have them in our community! read more

HONEST auto mechanic. I have taken my car to Jim's multiple times and have always been treated very professionally and offered a fair price. The mechanics do really great work and communicate the needs of the car and progress of the repair. I feel confident dropping my car off and always leave satisfied. read more

Another great experience. They know what they are doing and they do it right the first time. I will always go there

I went back to Jim's today to have a rally bar and some Hella lamps installed. Once again, Nate did a fantastic job with the installation process. I had an appointment and was able to get helped out right away. I will definitely be back for any other custom jobs for my Crosstrek. read more

See all

Nate did it! My work truck brakes went out, as an emergency, he fixed it today.. thank you Nate.. more recommendations coming your way!

This is absolutely a great shop! Nate is absolutely the best mechanic. Their very honest and very affordable if there is something that they cannot do they will let you know before even attempting. read more

We have a truck making a noise. Took it to Jim's and by the end of the day the had the problem solved and fixed. Very nice staff and helpful. I appreciate the fast turn around as I am super busy and work far, they made it easy for me :) Thank you .. read more

Took 10 minutes for my smog check! Was able to sit in the car with my kids to stay warm while they tested.

I do not usually leave reviews but I think these guys deserve it! I did a lot of research to find these gents and they are so lovely in every possible way. I came all the way from Long Beach (hour and 20 min drive) to get a Lift Kit installed for my Subaru because of their experience in the vehicle. Not only were they patient with me but they gave me advise on quality product, fair price and were transparent. Also to note they provided me advice weeks in advance before I even scheduled an appointment, not knowing if I would even use them or not, and they never once ignored my emails. Knowing the demands of a small company and time constraints I made an appointment to get a Lift Kit installed on my 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. They were on time (first appointment in the morning), friendly, knowledgeable and offered more fun Subaru advice and clubs to join AND picked myself and young cousin up from the Lake after spending the day kayaking so we wouldn't have to walk up hill to get my car back! I will most certainly make the drive again for future mods I want to do! Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions with these guys and they will get back to you and help you will all your needs! read more

Nate added spacers to my Subaru and was a true pro all the way. On time. We'll done. He cares to do it right.

Took my car to Jim's a few weeks back to get a smog. I was told my Catalytic Converter was not legal in California as of July of last year. Nathan was great and gave me suggestions on what to do and where to get a new one. After replacing my Catalytic Converter I returned today and once again Nathan was amazing and gave me great customer service and my vehicle passed with flying colors. Will definitely recommend Jim's auto to anyone I know. read more

Very unprofessional. The owner made a snide remark about wearing a mask. The other mechanic (red head) was very unprofessional and rude. I'm glad I've always gone to other locations who appreciate business and their customers. read more

Well this was our first time here and we met the most professional hard working ginger I have ever seen. His name is Nathan and he took care of us like none I have ever seen.. very knowledgeable, friendly, and kept us up to date on everything. Definitely will keep coming back for some ginger love on my vehicles read more

Took my car to get a smog check sadly one of the workers an older man not sure if he was the owner I'm guessing he might have been because he felt like it was okay for him to share unsolicited comments about me wearing a mask due to COVID-19 saying it wasn't necessary to wear a mask only weak people wear them and other things. I mentally blocked out his useless information. I will no longer give them business and I will be sharing this experience with friends and family. Disappointed he was so unprofessional. Don't be so quick to judge your clients if you don't know the reason why they continue to take health precautions. read more

My parents had driven their van cross country and were staying with us for a week. Stopped in to Jim's to request an appointment for an oil change and basic once-over to check a couple of notification lights that had popped up. They got us in early the next day despite being very busy. Efficient and thorough service, and very reasonable prices. read more

Amazingly kind, honest and professional. We moved to Crestline 4 years ago so we tried several places then started asking the locals who they use...hands down, Jim's Auto in top town was the recommendation! They were the only place to offer a ride home. It meant a lot, having only one car and I was recovering from back surgery, so my husband needed help. Excellent service on every thing an old SUV needs! By the way, 6 months later after doing our brakes, we needed tires and Jim shook my husband's hand and said "How's your wife doing?" He remembered! This mountain will pull you in, give you a hug, make you feel like family! read more

They are always professional and friendly. We have been taking our cars to Jim's Auto for decades.

Good service with honest technicians. Nate's the Subaru king on this side of the mountain

Fantastic service, I called for a smog check and was told I could come right in, I did and I was in and out of the facility in 20 minutes! I highly recommend them and will be back for more service. read more

I was new to the mountain and had a less than favorable experience with another shop. I took my Jeep in - with remaining parts - to Jim's and met Nathan. He not only diagnosed and fixed my Jeep. He was understanding, compassionate, professional, honest and had it fixed SOONER than he'd quoted and for LESS than he quoted!! How many times can a person say that? I've taken my Jeep back a few more times since for other work to be done and have never been disappointed! FIRST RATE service and I HAVE recommended them to anyone who needs service!! read more

Fast, honest, competent, helpful, friendly. Everything you could ask for in a mechanic, we've had nothing but good experiences here.
