All six of my family members have been "patients" at Mike's (prior to Rob of Elk Mountain buying…read morehim out) for at least a decade. Rob has followed Mike's tradition of honest, fair auto repairs. Won't say they're the cheapest but my family can attest that many, many of the others are far more expensive. I will always put my money on honesty and dependability to avoid the horror stories that abound. The premises are spotlessly clean, the mechanics are attentive, and Rob is clarity itself in explaining problems.

As an elderly, disabled woman with no local family, I rely on Jimmy's Automotive to keep my only…read moremeans of transportation - my car - running smoothly and reliably. I get very anxious when something goes wrong or I don't understand something about my car and the staff at Jimmy's is always patient and gracious to answer and explain, even if I ask silly questions. (And I do ask silly questions - a lot of them.) Jimmy's mechanics keep my car in good shape and help me have peace about its upkeep and maintenance. Jimmy's staff does great mechanical work and they really care about their customers. The Customer Service reps (at the desk) are really great, they work with me regarding appointments and the repairs that I need. I am so thankful to be a Jimmy's Automotive customer for several years and I'll keep coming back. I recommend them highly.

I am sure they had the best intentions; however, we brought in an old car with what seemed to be a…read morebusted radiator. They said they were busy, but they would do a thorough inspection. We said "we just need it running". One week later, we get a thorough list of things to fix, including "polishing the headlights" all with a sum total of more than we paid for the car ($4500 on a 2004 car that was worth $4000). That should have been our clue to go elsewhere, but we trusted them and moved forward with the critical repairs, unaware of any risks. In their defense, they did say it could also be the gasket, but we do not know what that means or what it costs. After spending $2000 we learn that yes, the gasket was blown and that would cost $3000 to fix. (meaning, if they had their way, we would have spent $7500 on a car that was worth $4000.) If we had been made aware of this potentially LARGE risk, we would not have approved of the initial repairs, we would have just sold the car for parts. But instead we were stuck with paying $2k for a car that wouldn't run or adding another $3k for a car that still would need a few things. They claim to excel in customer service; however I do not feel confident in their motives. To me, good customer service involves working together with the customer to find a solution that makes the most sense, and helping the customer make the best decision while understanding the risks. It's not selling a cake for 2000 people when you're only expecting 50 guests. We took the car elsewhere to complete the repair, not because of the price, but because we didn't feel we could trust them to provide information for us to make a decision appropriate for the age of our car.

I had a radiator burst on me on the way to go RVing on a Friday night. Limped the truck home and…read morestarted calling repair shops in the morning. Most shops were a week out and half were not open on Saturday. I needed to get my vehicle fixed by Monday morning. I have never used a mobile repair specialist in the past so I figured I would give it a try. I googled mobile repair specialists and called several with no answer and had to leave messages. John from Auto 911 answered the phone on the third ring and was ready to help. I called him at 9:00am and he was to my house by 10:15 on a 10:30 estimate. He looked over the truck, tested the truck, found the parts (several miles away), retrieved the parts and finished the repair in less time than it took me to find him on Google. The price was comparable with a brick and mortar shop without the hassle of getting your broken down vehicle to a shop. So to sum up my experience with John and Auto 911 of WNC, I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I left my tractor with him, and my credit card info to buy parts. Should have been a red flag there. Inability to even get parts without prepayment. Anyway they made three charges for over $800 each, removed my tractor from its location ( mind you this guy had no commercial drivers license) when I was finally able to locate my truck. My generator that runs my sleeper was gone as well as my CB radio. I have pressed charges but he fled the state before he could be picked up. I should have known better from the start. He showed up in an old truck with a tool bed, had just enough tools that I could carry them in my back pocket. I thought maybe he is just starting his own business. Come to find out he has had many business's, JSC LANDSCAPING, JSC MOBILE DIESEL, JSC MOBILE DIESEL AND AUTOMOTIVE.... BE WARE If I could give negitive 10 stars it would get it
