My Dad went to Jimmy since 1989. Honest mechanic and fair pricing. His son took over when he passed and is doing a great job! Thanks!

These guys are AWESOME. My car broke down on the freeway because my alternator gave out. They didn't have an availability to look at it until the next day, but they let me tow my car there right away which was so helpful. They called me the next day with the cost and had it done by the end of the day. So quick, easy, and everyone who works there is so kind. I would highly recommend them. I don't even live in the area, but I plan on coming back here if I ever need repairs done.

Disabled and Seniors. You can get honest and fair service from this place. I had my Ford Ranger worked on here. I use a wheelchair, and was taken advantage of at a couple of local mechanic shops. Then I read some reviews from this place and found Josh. He was considerate of my situation, and worked with me to get my Betsy in shape. I could not have made a better choice than Jimmy's Auto Service. I highly recommend Jimmy's Auto Service for honest reliable mechanic services. I will never go anywhere else if I need work done again. Thank you Josh for your honest work.

Jimmy Auto Service and Smog offers great service and is very easy to deal with. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and gets the job done efficiently. Whether it’s a smog check or general auto service, they handle everything smoothly with no hassle. Pricing is fair, and they don’t try to upsell unnecessary services. If you’re looking for a reliable and straightforward auto shop, this is a great place to go. Highly recommended!

Very honest professional and very reasonable place I took my car left it for few hours pick it up but since it's an alarm problem they couldn't do it. My car is running beautiful but wondering if anyone knows where can I take it to have the intelligent switching unit replace. From now on this is the place that I will take my car. Rose Mejia

Excellent service. I’ve taken my cars here over the past years for regular maintenance or any issues, and they are reasonable and honest. They came highly recommended to me and I see why.

Honest, friendly, helpful... it's hard to find a good mechanic that does not take advantage of a woman that comes in with her car. Josh is amazing and explains everything to you. I will definitely be bringing my car and my family will also be bringing their cars thank you so much Josh for all your help with my car.

I highly recommend this company. They are reliable and dependable. I have been with Jimmys Auto service for over 30 years. Not once have they disappointed us. They are not pushy to sell any service. As a widow Now I have to depend on them to do right by me and advise me what I really need. Thank you for great service.

Being a women I read a review she said good things about them so I tried it and she was right I felt in safe hands because being woman you get screwed over by a guy trying to get more money out of you and I got $300 less than what I was quoted so it's a good place you can trust them and they're awesome

Jimmy’s is an extremely professional and helpful auto shop. They explained everything clearly and told me exactly what needed to be fixed now and what I could wait on. Even squeezed in a minor repair at the end of the day for me to help me out of a jam. And didn’t screw me with the price either! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back for future repairs!

The service was great. The work was done fast and the guys were very nice. Will take my car there from now on. Price was reasonable also... Great place..

Well I should have gone here from the beginning. This has been a costly nightmare of a problem and a lesson learned. January 2018 I bought a 2002 ES300 Lexus. A few months later the check engine light came on and the power steering fluid slowly began leaking and eventually depleted directly after filling the reservoir. A family member suggested a family friend of ours whom I've never met, but because of his confidence in this person agreed to let him work on my car to "SAVE MONEY" For sure fix the power steering situation first, then if he can try to get the check engine light off, I had been told previously when having the diognostic done that I needed a new cattalytic converter. I was told by him n my cousin that wasnt true. Long story short and a whole lot of necessary/unecessary repairs, $1300.00 and a year later my check engin light is still on and now tags are due! guess what....I need a smog. Turns out I needed a cattalytic converter and Jimmy's auto did the job in less than a week and charged about a third of what I already paid. Josh stayed after hours so I could pick up my car n even took it to get smogged n made sure it passed. Won't take my car anywhere but here from now on!!! THANKS JOSH ; )-- ~~~

Joshua at Jimmy’s Auto was recommended by a friend, so we decided to give them a try. Our car had two lights on: the check engine light and the traction control light, the one with the squiggly lines. Joshua, who our friend said to ask for, diagnosed our problem, gave us a fair out the door price and fixed our car by the end of the day. We feel comfortable and confident at Jimmy’s and will definitely be back. Thanks Joshua!

Great service with a smile and attentive detail. This place will sure deserve 5 stars in the near future. I have only had small jobs done but even then I have made this my place to go. Thanks Crew.

Our family is in 2nd generation as customers and service is always 1st rate. Quality work and reasonable prices have been bringing us back for 15 years. Josh is taking it forward from where his dad left off.

Ive known the mamager here for awhile and decided to give him a shot. Josh Haneen and his staff are fantastic at finding the problem and fixing it in a super fast time frame w/ quality parts. My catalytic converter needs to be replaced next and Im definitely going back to these gentlemen to get it done.

I had the best day today as Jimmys Auto Service assisted me with my car issues, I had me brakes done somewhere else and other services done to my car and let’s just say my experience was horrible, I drove into Jimmys Auto Service this morning and they jumped right in on my car issues, great customer service and was done very quickly, Thank You Jimmy’ Auto Service, I will be recommending you to my family and friends

Joshua son of the owner was very understanding & explained the needed repairs in detail w the coast involved. They even gave me a ride both ways. I would highly recommend them .

I have been going to Jimmy's shop for over twenty years and have always gotten the best service. I take all the family cars there. They are trustworthy and will make recommendations on what needs to be done and what can be postponed for later. They never up sale so you can be confident you are not spending more than you need to.

About a few months ago I had another car that needed some serious work done, other mechanics I had gone to before Jimmy's auto service gave me the run around and just didn't seem legitimately honest. I had spoke to an older man who I believe was the owner Jimmy. The man had a humble heart and was willing to do all that he could to get it fixed. At the time, I was debating on weather I should even fix my cars issues or just let the insurance just total my car. Unfortunately I didn't get the work done and let the insurance take it. When I got my next vehicle, I had problems with it that just put a major hole in my pocket with another mechanic in LA. (NEVER AGAIN). I then remembered the owner Jimmy and decided to go here. I was greeted and assured that the car was in good hands. This time I didn't speak to Jimmy as I had met with his son,(the security felt the same). I learned shortly after that Jimmy, the gentleman I met before had passed away 😔. But I know the good of that man was instilled in his son and their hard work and dedication to fixing cars would keep myself and my people coming back for honest and affordable service. Thank you guys so much for your quick and effective work.

I came here becuase my friend said Hey Jim's auto knows how to do electrical stuff :)so i went to drop off my car...it took like 2 hours they told me what was the problem (it took me 2 weeks trying to figure out why i had that problem) so they fixed it and made the light go away ^_^ thanks Jimmys auto best place ever .^_^ better than going to Ford they were going to charge me $145 just to inspected it and find the problem 😒lol thanks again jimmy autos 😊😊😎

They are Awesome, Honest, Affordable & Friendly!!! Jimmy and his staff are top notch. As a woman searching for a trustworthy mechanic, my search is over - I couldn't ask for a more professional, knowledgeable experience. Customer service here is at a World Class level. Thank You Jimmy, Tim, and woman in office. =)

Couldnt have asked for more. He was fast, honest and cheaper than his competition. His diagnosis price was cheaper than his competition by 40%. His total fix price was cheaper by 50%. and he found and fixed way more than the other place I took the car. He found the whole problem rather than just the most obvious piece of the problem. He was also extremely fast, he found the problem in about an hour and had it fixed the next morning. We even had a great conversation about vintage cars when I picked up my car. He seemed like a very smart man, as did the other guys in his shop. Definitely not your average car guys.
