What clients say about JDS Automotive Center in Hughesville (MD)
I had some major work done at this business. The timing belt and water pump didn't last 2 years. I had to also replace the valve cover gaskets again at the same rate. When I called to ask about the warranty for parts, they said 12 months, 12,000 miles. No way these parts should be going bad again in that short amount of time. I had to pay to have the work done all over again at another shop and it was not cheap. Definitely would not come back here again.
JDS Automotive provided phenomenal service. I had a number of repairs done to my car at once. The customer service provided by the staff was top notch. They did a great job providing updates and keeping me informed of the status. My vehicle was actually ready earlier than anticipated and my cost was much lower than what the competition wanted to charge me. I would definitely recommend JDS Automotive to anyone.
Phenomenal work on my Toyota RAV4! Daniel and Steve were thoroughly inspecting my vehicle and explaining what the issues were. Speedy and diligent work. Car is working as new. Y’all are awesome thank you!
Great place to take your vehicle good hospitality very knowledgeable goes above and beyond his duties does not give you a runaround tells you the truth about your vehicle and what is wrong with it recommend this establishment to anyone that has vehicle issues
JDS Automotive is the very best! Whenever me or my husband have any concern or troubles with our vehicles they are always ready to help! They provide thorough diagnostics on the issue and explain what needs to be done in way that makes it easy to understand. They only recommend what they believe needs to be done giving us piece of mind that we are not over spending. They have amazing pricing and their turn around time is unmatched. We recently had our vehicle have some troubles and they had our car ready less than 24 hours after dropping it off. Amazing people doing amazing work!!!
Moved to Southern Maryland 2.5 years ago and was so happy to find JDS. As a mechanic’s son, JDS has the honesty, quality, pride in their work, fair prices, clear communication and friendliness that I know makes a good auto repair shop. Highly recommend.
My mom had experienced constant issues with her vehicle which forced her to frequently return to the dealership. There was either a new problem or the same issue that recurred every other week creating a high degree of frustration as none of the problems were repaired. For example, the interior lights failed to illuminate, and the dealership service department insisted on a diagnostic check - just to change a fuse or a bulb? And she was left to change her own windshield wipers! We found JDS Automotive Center, described the issues to Steve and her vehicle received all repairs in less than a day. The interior light bulbs were replaced, the climate control was repaired, providing her with air conditioning, (and there were no wiring issues, as claimed by the dealership service department), and a coil pack/spark plug was replaced. Additionally, through a courtesy inspection, JDS discovered that one of her tires had two nails, which Steve plugged, that were missed by the dealership service department. JDS completely rectified the situation by repairing all of the issues that the dealership service department had either neglected or missed. It was evident we'd paid for dealership lip service while JDS delivered desired results through QUALITY service. Furthermore, Steve provided an education, explaining what the part was, described how it worked and why it needed replacement. My mom left the shop dancing and jumping with joy, grateful for the excellent service! JDS Automotive Center does amazing work, and this has earned Steve a life-long customer! Don't waste your time and money elsewhere- take it to JDS Automotive Center!
I took my truck to 3 different shops and no one could find the problem. Steve found the issue within 3 days!! They got me back on the road and riding with no issues. They even found and fixed a few other issues while they were in there. I highly recommend JDS Automotive!!
When I stop bye JDS Automotive center shop to ask question about my BMW 525i oil link I got the greats customer service there ever could be I love that the gentleman told me a lot about my car he made feel at home he also broke everything down to me so that I could understand what was going on about my 525i BMW and yes I will be take my car back to Steve at JDS Automotive Center to get my car fix.
These people treat you right, know how to fix your car and will show you what's wrong. They did a frame repair for my Jeep and worked very closely with me to get it done within my budget.
JDS is a fantastic place if you are looking for thorough, professional and fast automotive service. Steve did a great job on our HONDA XR100 I highly recommend them.
Went to JDS automotive center after having a terrible experience at another automotive center in Waldorf. Steve, the owner and operator made the appointment quick and easy. When presented with an obstacle he was patient and thorough. This is one of the few automotive centers I felt was honest in their work. Thank you for your help today getting me back on the road.
JDS is great. Steve is that rare mechanic you can TRUST - fitting that their location is "Trust Place"! I came to Steve several years ago when nobody else in the area would touch my older Honda because of a suspected transmission leak. Steve did not hesitate to take a look, and it turned out the problem had been misdiagnosed! Steve and team take their time to listen to your concerns and ask clarifying questions. Steve has an impressive and extensive knowledge of MANY makes and models of cars, as well as of their quirks and common problems. He thoroughly explains what's going on with your vehicle, even popping the hood and pointing out parts and systems - and does NOT talk down to you as though you "wouldn't understand" no matter your mechanical experience level. Debbie is a cheerful and supportive voice on the phone, and is clear with suggestions, instructions, and pricing. And that's another thing - when able, JDS offers options to fit your budget, and are not pushy for you to take the most expensive route. I highly recommend JDS Automotive Center for full-spectrum vehicle repairs and maintenance.
I've taken my vehicle to JDS several times and have always had a great experience. Debbie is an absolute delight and her customer service is exceptional. Steve is a top-notch mechanic and extremely knowledgeable. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile for their customers is the reason I won't take my vehicle to any other shop!
JDS Automotive Center is by far the very best place in Southern Maryland to take your vehicle for service and maintenance. The staff is friendly and very professional. The mechanic who serviced my vehicle was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain to me what was wrong with my vehicle. He also advised me of additional issues found and provided his professional recommendations. I found their prices to be very reasonable for the services rendered (compared to the prices in the area from dealerships and other local automotive shops). In addition, I was able to get an appointment for service right away. The most impressive part of all is that their customer service is impeccable, top notch. I was very pleased with my experience at JDS Automotive Center, as it was my first time going there. Should you have any car issues, I would highly recommend JDS Automotive Center for servicing your vehicle.
Very good ,looking forward to doing busness with them .Feels great to find some one who is good at what they do .felt right at home ,can't say enough good thing .
Debbie and Steve have always been great people and always treat us wonderful everytime we visit their shop. They do spectacular work and we love the environment which is why we only take our vehicles to them!
JDS Automotive recently worked on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler and the service was excellent! I was informed of the problem and it was fixed as promised. The whole staff there are professional and above all else Honest and true to their word, I highly recommend JDS to everyone who wants expert work for a reasonable price.
" One word EXCELLENCE" . My guys Steve and Dan treat you like family!!! Any questions you have about your vehicle they will answer it but if they dont know it they will research it for you.. Honesty in today's time honesty is very rare in automotive repair industry everybody's about a buck. But Jds automotive center is not having it they get you right the 1st time and only time. Thanks guys !!!
I will keep referring everybody I know who need car repairs..
I absolutely love my car! But I’ll be the first to admit that I knew nothing about how it works. That alone can make shopping around for automotive repairs incredibly daunting. When I searched for local businesses, JDS was the top recommendation with plenty of 5 star reviews. I called the office and spoke with a very nice woman named Debbie and was able to have my car looked at that week. I had never seen this shop before and figured they must be new to the industry. But after meeting with the owners who have a combined 40+ year experience In the automotive industry Daniel and Steve are anything but new. Both we’re incredibly knowledgeable and we’re more than happy to answer the thousands of questions I had. They were completely transparent about repairs and costs. Its a huge relief to finally have a shop for my car where I know they aren’t going to try and get me for every dollar. They informed me of repairs that needed to be done urgently as well as other things that would need repair/replacing in the future. When I went to JDS I didn’t feel like “just another customer” I felt they valued my time, and my business. I know more about my car now than the dealer would and it’s thanks to the folks at JDS. They’ll be my go to for all my future questions and repairs!
Steve gave me a price to fix my 1968 mustang. Ordered parts and went right to work. His coworker Daniel was doing a good job and told me what was going on. Debbie? In front office got all of my info and got the ball rolling
Top notch automotive work! These guys are knowledgeable, caring and affordable. Steve has many years of experience with a wide variety of automobiles. If he can't fix it, get rid of it!! Both he and Daniel will work hard to service your vehicle and get you back on the road as soon as possible! From an oil change to a complete overhaul, JDS should be your go to for all your automotive needs!
