I was referred to this shop from a friend. It exceeded my expectations. The communication. Regarding our vehicle was on point and they stayed in constant contact during the time that the vehicle was being assessed and evaluated to when the vehicle was completed. They communicated cost. I did not feel pressured to have repairs done. I believe that their service was on point and their pricing is on par and I did not feel like I overpaid at all for service. We will be continuing to use the shop for the family’s vehicles and recommend them to others
They have been great at helping me keep my guys and trucks moving!! They have the ability and staff to handle anything life throws at our business! They have become my ace in the hole. Side note Ryan is awesome!!
I am a road Warrior will put on over 40,000 miles a year. I have been using Jims for years. They have always treated me great honest and reasonably priced. I have brought my vehicle there after being told at other places it needs a significant amount of work only to have Jim’s tell me that a majority of that was not needed
After years of looking for a go-to mechanic, Jim's is it! They are honest, transparent, and incredibly knowledgeable. Special shout out to Ryan and Emily!
I broke my elderly Fathers sunroof and we had to get it at least closed. His car is old and could not afford to drop money into it. I stopped at one place. Won’t say where but they are ridiculous and a big place and customer does not come first it’s all about the $$$. Like most auto shops in this upscale area. However I found Jim’s Auto and Ryan and his worker had it closed pretty quickly for us as a courtesy!!! This is the way it used to be in the old days! People helping people. Not always about $$$! I appreciate you Ryan at Jim’s Auto!!! I Highly recommend Jim’s Auto. Hard workers too!!! Thank you!! God Bless you!
We have been customers at Jiims Auto for 16+ years. QUALITY work, estimates right on the money and they really, care about their customers. I highly recommend them. Judy
Emily does a great job scheduling and keeping me updated and Ryan is a very skilled/knowledgeable mechanic/owner. They’ve done a great job with all our cars, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Porsche, and GMC.
This was my first time doing business with this mechanic. Originally Ryan in great detailed explained what my car needed, me being the frugal customer that I am decided to go with someone else cheaper. Long story short that mechanic made my car worse than the original condition. I brought it back to Ryan and not only did he fix what the mechanic broke, my 2010 Honda runs like a Lamborghini. LOL. I highly recommend Ryan and his crew.
Very transparent about repair options and gave a couple of options to repair. Price was fair for the work done and appreciate that they detailed the engine bay which was a nice touch. Highly recommend Jim’s
They have my confidence because: they have skilled, dedicated mechanics; they are always ready to explain the issue and the repairs, timely repairs, and they honor appointment dates and communicate about progress. Over several years now, just great service...
If your looking for a honest and great priced mechanic this is your place to go. Been using Jim's Auto for several years myself and father used him for over 20 years upon Jim retiring I was a little nervous because I did not know if the service was still as good as it was with Jim there but by far beat my expectations, Ryan is a very honest and very knowledgeable. took my 2015 Ford explorer in for a sunroof issue he explained he does not do anything with sunroofs upon arriving home shut my car off and it would not start again so I had my car towed there over the holiday weekend and he worked on it and got it running again first thing Monday morning he contacted me and my husband and said your car is ready to be picked up. A lot of mechanics would have said yeah I can fix the sunroof in all reality they would have just taken your money where he was very honest and told us he does not touch sunroofs. He tells you everything in detail what is wrong with your vehicle and how it can be fixed without cutting corners. If we need any more car work we will make sure that we take our vehicle there even though we live 3 hours away. By far best mechanic shop
Bad day today! Expensive day today! BUT Matt at Jim’s Auto Repair was so nice, so attentive, and very accommodating. I felt heard and respected. I hope the owner knows what an asset he is! Thanks Matt!!!
I couldn’t be more impressed with the service at Jim’s Auto. Their work is top-notch, and the level of professionalism is outstanding. From start to finish, the team was knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely cared about getting the job done right. Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest, reliable auto repair. A +++ Great work!
20+ Years customer. I had them fix my brakes recently on my Tundra for around $2k. After a short time brake problems returned. They replaced rotors, etc at cost and did not add labor. All within one day. Their service is exemplary . Great shop.
Recently, my 2023 Chevy Silverado PU. truck, died in the middle of a very busy 6 lane road in Sarasota. Needless to say, their were a lot of pissed off people flying by me. Fortunately, a Sherriff's Dept. Animal Control vehicle was behind me and turned on her emergency lights, sparing me a rear end collision. My insurance company found a tow company but they were unavailable till 5 pm . Waiting for three hours stranded in the middle of the road was unacceptable and my mechanic at JSN auto repair recommended Jim's Towing. Prior to their arrival, another Sherriff's deputy came to the scene and went on u tube and got the truck in neutral, enabling us to push the truck to the shoulder area. The Jim's dispatcher, Matt, was extremely helpful, and in 20 minutes, the tow truck arrived. Jeremy, the tow truck driver, was very professional, friendly and went the extra mile to safely secure my PU onto the flat bed tow truck. Due to Jim's fast service, a potential disastrous wreck was avoided. Jim's earned a spot on my phone contacts which I hope I won't have to use but is there in case I do. I would highly recommend Jim's Towing. Thanks guys!
Walked into Jim’s yesterday morning at 9:30am and asked if they could do a pre-purchase inspection. Ryan said that they were busy but could work me in.
I had called 3 other shops that were unable to see me for days and Ryan at Jim’s was great and said yes we will look at the car.
If you need your car fixed, take it to Jim’s.
I had a loose panel under my car and stopped by on short notice. They quoted a super reasonable rate, and took care of it right away, no hassle, and had me back on the road in minutes. Super friendly and efficient. Definitely my go-to shop from now on. Highly recommend!
Had an unfortunate issue my car sucked in a lot of water and seized and wouldn’t crank or start and I just work that day and saw that Jim’s Auto Repair was down the road. Went over there a told them about my situation and without hesitation they sent one of there drivers there to pick my car up and take it to their shop. No appointments and they looked super busy but they took time from their day to help me out with my car and after an hour they had my car running in no time. I wanna say thanks to the entire team and Ryan a very cool and knowledgeable guy. Thank you Jim’s Auto Repair for making life a whole heck of a lot easy.
Excellent and fast, friendly service! I got a flat tire as it was getting dark and my car was only equipped with a fix a flat can, which wouldn’t have repaired the gash in the tire. I called Jim’s, they answered quickly after hours, and came to my rescue. The service was fast, the driver (Cordell) was super friendly, tow truck was modern and clean inside, and they didn’t gouge me on price, which they certainly could have. A huge thank you to Jim’s Towing!
I highly recommend this place! As a single female I’m cautious about where I have my car repaired. I completely trust this repair shop and they helped save me alot
of money without skimping on quality. They do the work at a dealership level- without the crazy markup. I’ve dealt mainly with Darrel and Ryan and they have been fantastic! I was having a weird noise and without hesitating they told me to swing by that evening to take a look. Give this place your business…Thank you all at Jim’s auto!
Thank you Jim for helping me with my Ford Cmax!
My hybrid car had a big problem with the brakes. I couldn't drive my car feeling unsafe for myself and the others. I have brought the car previously to 2 other mechanics and they were not able to solve the problem, while they still invoice me. Ford dealership had a 45 day waiting list for the evaluation and a repair.
Jim and his mechanic team were able to do all the needed repairs including the change of the Abs unit and reprogram it for a reasonable price considering it was a major issue. I can finally drive with a feeling of safety and I am happy I was able to find a mechanic that I can trust. The all team is nice, the repairs advisor communicates well, the billing is done with a detailed explanation what you pay for, the job comes with customer satisfaction and guarantee on the repairs.
The team never pushed me on my experience with them, they have tried their best to find different solutions before to evaluate a complete change on the electric abs system unit. The lady in charge of the billing is nice.
It seems to me that Jim has quite a bit of tools, mechanics, machines, software, experience and more to work on cars. I have seen Jim in a meeting with his mechanic team and also working on the cars himself.
I will go back for sure.
Thank you
