It's always a big question when you go to a mechanic... will they be honest? Will they try and work me? Is it going to break the bank? .... J's garage is honest, to the point and fair. Like any mechanic shop it's busy and there is a bit of organized chaos but I can say for J's they keep it all pretty clean and organized. I took my 2011 Honda civic sedan in and I needed a few things covered. An oil leak, my air conditioning, and my speedometer was still on but not showing how fast I've been going. J had it for about 45 min (they were busy) and he was able to run diagnostics, find the oil leak and figure out the pump was out in my car. I don't particularly like sharing number but in my research and at a Honda dealership I would have been in the hole 3k easily and 1k of that would have just been for the diagnostics. Jay was more than fair with his price and Was straight forward with the price, but it did not break the bank and when you know you have a good mechanic you don't have to question your trust in them. Needless to say my car is running perfectly, everything is fixed and not only has J's have my trust and respect they have e a loyal customer. The quality of work matches the integrity of its owner and leader J. He has his family come in and help and honestly just meeting his kids and having passive conversations with them I could say if I knew nothing about J, his kids reflect integrity, hard work, and perspective. I will keep my promise to bring yall lunch ones the school year starts and again thank you for The honest and hard work. I finally have air conditioning again after 2 years lol ... it feels great!!!!

Transmission bolts  fully tightened but sticking out cause their placed in the WRONG LOCATIONS... cause of weird noise.

Yes this "rEpAiR" happened a while ago but it took that long for me to come back MULTIPLE TIMES to fix this shooty job and to take it to another mechanic who pointed out what you guys did... and what kind of argument is that? UPDATE: The replacement Fan Shroud with built-in radiator reservoir slipt and started to leak... it was a CHEAP aftermarket part which I had to replace with an OEM part... I would of rather you had asked if I'd pay more to get am OEM part... I had already paid more for an "upgraded clutch" which now is squeaking ‍... DONT BRING YOUR CAR HERE 2nd UPDATE - Was just messaged by the business simply to tell me "You should be ashamed of yourself"... like really?! this business messed up and did crappy work with cheap parts, I tried to let them fix it 3 times until I gave up and settled to only find out how bad they did the work after taking it to a real mechanic shop months later for a simple break change (Riverside Metro Auto Group)... and instead of replying to say they would at least try and make things right or put my damn transmission bolts in the correct place I get 1. A none reply trying to disqualify my complaint cause it didn't happen this week 2. A emotional private message to try and Shame me for sharing my bad experience... way to treat the customer you screwed over... hopefully others will take heed and avoid you guys

Despite what the owner stated in the past, I've had my Ford worked on over there several times.....all for the same problem.....the transmission! The 1st time I thought all went well, until when he had the car delivered, on the receipt was stamped 6 mos warranty! Well, after I authorized him to repair the transmission....he said that he would give me a 1 year warranty. When I asked him about the 6 mos warranty stamp, he said "no worries they made a mistake....I will honor 1 year." I paid him $3,200 for the job. WHO in their right mind would agree to only a 6 mos warranty after paying that much?! So, the car ran well for about 7 months, then transmission went out. I called him, and had the car towed back over there. He said that " you know it's out of warranty, but I will see what I can do". So now he forgets about what he initially told me! So, he kept my car for another 6 mos......dodging all of my calls, and making up B.S. excuses about why my car wasn't ready! When I got the car back he told me that he would not give me a new warranty! The car ran for another few months....then transmission went out again! Smh SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! Oh, and he must know someone over here at YELP, because he had my 2 prior reviews taken down! Smh

Damaged rotors from using old pads then making me come back another weekend to get new pads.

Avoid this place--it's a classic bait and switch. They used poor-quality parts, replaced things that didn't need replacing, and even installed the wrong parts. I went in to have my back rotors turned and new pads installed. When I picked up my car, I was shocked to see a bill for brand new pads and rotors all around! They tripled my original bill and acted like I was the problem when I questioned the charges. One month later, I returned because the front disks were making noise when stopping. I was told the front pads were no good. I asked, "Which pads did you replace?" and was told just the front ones. But I pointed out that they had replaced pads all around, so if the front pads were bad, what about the back ones? The mechanic claimed the back pads were fine. What good is a warranty if you can't trust them to do the work properly? A year later, I took my car to a new mechanic who informed me that the pads installed by this shop were semi-metallic, while ceramic pads should have been used. As a result, those incorrect pads had been damaging my brand-new rotors for the past year. Now, I had to replace both the rotors and pads--something that could have been avoided if the right pads were used. I could have had the rotors turned, and I only needed to replace the pads once or twice. Not now! Run from this place, it's everything you think a nightmare shop would be.

See all

This is the first time I visited a smaller auto mechanic vs some of the bigger chains such as…read moreFirestone. In my last visit to a bigger chain nearly 3 months earlier, and they quoted me with a bunch of work that "all" needed to be done that would cost me well over $3k. Decided to give this place a shot, as it's down the street from my place and heard great reviews on Yelp. Jay was great and did a great job breaking everything down and reviewing next steps of what I could expect. After reviewing everything and taking my needs into account, he saves us over $1500 compared to what the big mechanic shop would charge us. Solid business and will definitely be taking my car to this shop for any big fixes or repairs.

I took my 2001 Toyota Sequoia here to get repaired after originally taking it to a Toyota…read moredealership that quoted me $7,500 for the repairs. That felt insane to me, so I decided to get a second opinion and took it to Auto Technik instead. I am SO glad I did. I first reached out to them through Yelp, then hopped on a phone call with them, and they were able to take my car in the very next day. After diagnosing it, we were all pretty shocked to find out that what the Toyota dealership said needed to be repaired had actually been misdiagnosed. Jay was able to figure out what was really going on simply by plugging into the car and properly reading the diagnostics. We were honestly appalled that the Toyota dealership hadn't caught it in the first place. So instead of spending $7,500 at the dealership and most likely STILL not fixing the actual problem, Auto Technik was able to properly diagnose and fix my Sequoia for around $1,500. Aside from saving me a ton of money, everyone here was just so nice and communicative with me throughout the entire process. I felt like they were honest with me, explained what was going on, and genuinely wanted to make sure the actual problem was fixed. I'm seriously so appreciative of Jay and everyone at Auto Technik. After this experience, I'm really glad I found a shop I feel like I can trust with my car. I wish them nothing but continued success!
