They not only got me in the same day to diagnose the issue but also were able to get the part the next day and fix it all within 24 hours. The price we paid was more than reasonable for the work done/part/labor and quick turnaround. We were told by other companies in the area that they weren't accepting new clients and/or it would take over a week to diagnose the problem, so we were thrilled about how quickly the mechanics at Jim's were able to get us in. We also were BIG FANS of Tank and Turbo they are amazing greeters!

They sent the owner over with a portable charger, and started us right up! We love these guys, and would refer them to everyone!

I was very polite and asked him not to spray the one part of my car so i wouldnt get water in it. To which he completely ignored me and didn't even respond. I know he heard me because he stood there and listened to me ask then just turned around. He then proceeded to not even spray any of my car at all and now its not even clean. For $17!!!??!? Wtf? Theres a brand new place down the street and its easy enough to just go there. And if I need tires I know where I wont be coming. It's only a car wash, so how hard is it to be kind and respectful and help someone get there moneys worth for an insanely expensive wash where my car isn't even clean at the end. Ridiculous
