JD was a huge help. I was on a road trip from from Fl and had an issue with my 2017 VW Jetta. I messaged him. Within 30min I had my car at his place and working on the fix i 100% recommend him. Side note: I am done with big car chain shops or even dealers. For too long has their reputations ruined my experiences with them. I rather put my money and trust in a personal shop, in a local business read more

Can't say enough good things about RS Auto Werks. Came in thinking both my back breaks were shot and JD was super honest and straightforward about what I needed and saved me money in the process. I came in as a walk in and he had me out super quick as well. If you need work done on your car this is the place to go! read more

I went on to YELP to seek some bids on a minor repair to replace lift struts and was shocked to find dealers and shops quoting crazy amounts. I found JD and was instantly impressed and relieved that there are still good people around. I brought my car in and he was able to handle my repairs on the spot in minutes. I trust he does good work and will contact him when I need anything! Call him!!! read more

JD has helped me with my wife's 2017 Subaru Outback twice now. The first time was when I managed to get a piece of plastic tubing stuck in the oil dipstick tube when I was trying to suction out oil (I don't recommend this method on Subarus). I was looking for help on a Facebook group and JD contacted me. Within the day, I had the car at JD's and he pulled the oil pan and fished out about 8 inches of tubing without a problem. 5 Stars for that. The second time he helped me with the car was in performing a timing chain change on the car (routine maintenance at 150,000 miles). I looked up JD, booked a time with him and JD got me taken care of once again with no hiccups. JD is very communicative, has an incredible knowledge of many makes/models (from conversation with him) and brings amazing value to the customer. Peace of mind is priceless and JD definitely brings that to the table when you consult him and have him perform his service. Thanks JD! read more

JD is awesome and cares for the well being his customers. Pricing is fair. Found him when he commented on my forum submission asking help since my mk7 gti had cyl1 misfire. I gave all the info of all that i have done to try and repair myself. Plugs, coils, and injectors changed. Compression test was OK. And that i brought it to another shop and was diagnosed for an ecu issue. He commented his possible diagnosis and offered to see the car as well. I had doubts on consulting with him especially seeing the few reviews and his home garage, but I took a chance and took my car to him. He took 30mins to diagnose that it was the parts that i put that was not OEM. He said changing it to OEM would fix the issue. Lo and behold. He put OEM parts and shes back on the road like nothing happened. Hes also willing to share his knowledge for people that like to tinker but dont understand cars in depth (like me). I think he said he had at least 10 yrs experience working on VW/audi since being owners of such cars. And previously worked for honda. Overall, I hightly recommend JD and his work read more

JD was instantly so open and transparent with everything from the jump and that is one thing I loved and can appreciate lol Our jeep compass needed the head gasket done badd and JD was nice enough to allow use to bring it in a week earlier then we had planned because he his schedule was already so full at that moment. Got the jeep towed and JD helped push it into his lot lol. He got the work done way faster than we thought it would take (took him 3 days) and communicated with me all the way through what he was doing on the car daily. Pick up was so smooth he also gave little tips with maintenance and upgrades etc. He was also extremely flexible with pick up time thank goodness because atm I couldn't just leave whenever to pick up the car. 100% getting all of our future work done with JD the process couldn't have been better read more

JD is the only person I trust to handle my car. He's honest, professional and extremely reliable. He doesn't BS his customers and that's something I appreciate. He charges fair and honest prices.

I highly recommend JD from Havens Automotive. I had a well experienced mechanic try and fix my Infiniti G35 but he was stumped trying to fix intermittent misfire. Then took it to a shop I took my truck in for repairs and are also very highly rated. They checked all wiring as they thought it was a wiring issue and ultimately said it was the computer and they said it would be very costly to do. Found Havens from social media and took a chance and he found the issue within a few hours!!! I had him fix it and car runs great. DONT be put off he works from his house garage. JD knows his stuff and is very good at communication and is very fair on pricing. Hes got a customer for life! read more

Have you ever had a full blown meltdown due to your inability to just know things ? I one hundred and ten percent have . Let me preface this by saying I'm not very bright when it comes to cars. I bring it places and I trust. Come to find out that's not the best way to go about things. Let me tell you how I came to find this out. I took my Honda to a seemingly "reputable" shop. Got some front end work done - didn't realize that if you get some front end work done you need an alignment . I wasn't told that and I'm no expert so I pay and I hit the road. It took me 16 hours to cross four state lines that I can cover in about 9 on a good day. It was the worst 16 hours of my life.. I was a mess I was white knuckled, crying, stressed and just wanted it all to be done. Then I finally reached my destination and there lies before me my savior, havens, dude this name couldn't have been more perfect because this has turned into my safe haven. There my savior stood - friendly, confident , and motivated. "Worry less, my child - as your solution is here" never have I ever received better words of affirmation. There wasn't a single thing wrong he couldn't make better. I don't even believe the word "no" is in his vocabulary. If all you have the energy for is your mental? Let havens take care of the rest - my tears turned from agony to relief in a matter of nine words. On that day my life changed for the better . No more being taken advantage of for my inability to know things , and my whip works better than it did when I bought it I WILL be back again. read more
