These people are honest and hard working. I came in on a Friday afternoon when I was supposed to get on the highway but heard a noise. They found the broken part, fixed it and got me back on the road so I didn't have to rent a car or stay in town. And they gave me a very fair price. Highly recommend!! read more

Great experience! Kevin very honest about what needs to be done, and doesn't recommend unneeded repairs like other places do. He did exactly what I asked him to do, and spent some time troubleshooting. My car is old (2010), and the parts needed were not available. So he assured me it was safe for me to drive locally, and didn't charge me anything. I would definitely send friends and family to Jowers. The only down side was parking. read more

This is the best mechanic in Tallahassee. I almost don't want y'all to know about them because they are already busy, but they deserve a 5 star review. Very honest people. You should drop off your car early at 8 and plan to leave it for the day. read more

Kevin is a second generation owner of Jowers Auto Service, after working with his Dad for years. He moved from the less impressive shop across the street to his current larger and more functional location. While his reputation as a great automotive mechanic grew and the business with it, finding parking has become an occasional difficulty. His acumen at honing in on a problem is outstanding and a testament to his years of experience. He is honest in his estimates and stands behind his work. We have brought most of our cars to him over many years and he like we seem to value our long term relationship. You could say he is not in it for the "fast buck" preferring instead the slower ones over time! His wife has joined him in the management of the business which is another valued aspect of their family owned service. read more

Jowers has reliable service, friendly staff and honest pricing. The only place I take my car to and recommend to my friends. Kevin and his team will not fix something unless you ask or it is truly in need of fixing. Any job, large or small- Jowers can help. I appreciated an honest opinion on how my car may not be worth pouring thousands of dollars into, but riding out until it's trade in time. Bonus points for friendly & cute puppy dogs and Kevin's humor. read more

Fair prices, good service and Mr. Jowers is a kind gentleman. I'll be returning for sure.

Diagnosed and fixed a problem I'd been having with my car for a few years. Had been looked at by others and they couldn't find the problem. It finally quit on me and AAA recommended Jowers. That's where we'll be taking our cars from now on. read more

The best auto service in Tallahassee. I've been to multiple auto services in this city, I constantly switch because I'm not satisfied with the work that they have done. One morning in Jowers Auto service and I know I've found the place! Great owner, great workers, everyone is friendly and trustworthy. I'd recommend this shop to anyone. read more

I brought my old, but well maintained car to Jowers after my previous mechanic retired. I have an oil leak and wanted it fixed. Kevin called me and said that fixing it would likely make it worse and to just keep an eye on the level of oil. I appreciate his honesty and am glad to find another mechanic I can trust! read more

I'm a doctoral student at FSU and my car suddenly died while I was driving it over the weekend. The Triple A towman recommended Jowers over the local dealership I had originally asked to have my car towed to. Very thankful for his recommendation, because Jowers was very communicative with me and my family and was able to get my car fixed up in just a couple of days. Taking it to the local dealership could have cost me even more time and money. Definitely recommend taking your car business needs to Jowers! read more

It's great to find an auto shop that you can trust to take care of your FSU student. One phone conversation with Kevin at Jowers and we knew this was a place we could trust. My son took his car due to hearing an usual sound. He is planning to drive home to Texas for Thanksgiving. They did a thorough job of making sure his car was road worthy by checking the fluids and completing other visual inspections -- all complimentary! When it's not broken, it's great to know that there is an auto shop who won't try to fix something. Thanks for the peace of mind Jowers Auto Service! We will definitely have my son return if he has any issues with his car. read more

Jowers Auto Service has repaired my 2004 Saturn Ion on two different occasions. The first time the car was running hot and the second time it had a problem with the circulation actuator (clicking noise in dashboard). On both occasions, the owner (Kevin Jowers) took care of my car in a timely professional manner. The first time, I was a walk-in/drive-in off the street with no previous history with Jowers Auto Service. After the first experience, my husband was so impressed that he decided that Jowers Auto Service was going to become our designated "family car repair shop" for car issues. We picked up the car yesterday from the second repair job. Kevin and his staff fixed the problem in 24 hours. Give Kevin a call: 850-224-3015 read more

Extremely nice, welcoming, and honest. I've been a student at FSU for 7 years (undergrad and grad school) and have always trusted them with my car. I'm sad to be leaving town because I don't know if I'll find a place I like as much as Jowers. They won't over charge you, will get you your car quickly, and provide excellent customer service along the way. This is the place to go in Tallahassee. read more

Let me start by stating if there was an option to leave ZERO stars that is what would have been done. These guys are CRIMINALS they install used/damaged parts are new part prices after they damage parts during removal. Not to mention leaving my car without any coolant when i picked it up. I am greeted with a "god damn that car is fast" when i walk in to pick up my car... So all in all here are the damages done to my vehicle during its stay at this dog shit establishment... my gates kevlar timing belt was replaced with a offbrand advanced auto brand and was not properly timed afterwards being 10 degrees off. They damaged my oil pan to the point it was unable to be reinstalled and when they asked to replace it with a NEW! oil pan i was unaware i would be paying $500 dollars for a rusted, dented and poorly sealed oil pan. My boost controlled was set at 30+ pounds of boost instead of the 15 psi it was set on when dropped off. All in all these guys deserve to be shut down. Kevin is a piece of trash and will rip you off every chance he can get his crooked little hands on. read more

Honesty and integrity. Pretty much their business model. Had an issue with my a/c. They replaced the compressor and guaranteed their work. Unfortunately this didn't fix the issue. I had to move out of town before I had a chance to bring it back in. A year later when I moved back to tally he still honored his word and fixed it for good and for free. I'm moving to the west coast. Wish I could take them with me! read more

They misled me, gave me a horrible quote, and then when I took my car back from them, it had a nice new dent! thanks, Jowers.

Truck broke down making a terrible (and expensive sounding ) banging in engine. Kevin and crew diagnosed my problem as a blown plug rather than blown engine as I thought. What could have been big bucks $$$$$ was very reasonable $ . Honest and fair pricing doesn't sound right for an auto shop but Jowers manages both. read more

The owner deals with you personally and is a straight shooter. I had an issue with my belt squealing and he fixed it and said no charge(basically come back if it has any issues). I had heard great things about this place and the recommendations couldn't be more accurate. read more

I was in Tally to pick up my daughter from FSU. On my drive from Jacksonville my car started having problems. Jowers checked out my car and made a few adjustments so that I could make it home safely. They were super busy that day and worked me in anyway. I am grateful for a safe trip home. Super nice too! read more

I went to Jowers after two friends recommended them. They were busy, but got me in the same day, diagnosed the problem with my AC, and had me out the door in less than an hour. I will definitely be back read more

Have dealt with Kevin in the past, hes a comes across as a great guy,but after refering a good friend it wont happen again. The labor rate is on the high side, but then its compounded by the charged time. My friend went in to have a alternator replaced, and was charged nearly $450. With online research, and calling a personal friend who does automotive work in Jacksonville, I realized the price was about 40% more than average. Save your money, and at least call around... read more
