This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
In Houston, TX, reviews for JK Auto Center and JD Towing are overwhelmingly positive: top‑tier body/mechanical work, fast turnarounds, clear updates, and help with insurance plus towing. Themes: professional, friendly service, fair pricing, vehicles returned clean, and jobs done on or near estimates. A few note they’re popular, so wait times can stretch, often due to parts shipping/insurance delays, but staff mitigates with communication and occasional loaners. Little data on yard organization or inventory variety—aside from occasional in‑lot OEM parts—so parts‑finding ease is unclear. Overall score: 100/100.
I had been calling around for a couple days, trying to find someone that could change my factor grill on my truck to this after market grill I had bought. Everyone told me that they didn't want to mess with it , but when I called JK Auto they told me right away they could do it. There was great customer service and it didn't take long at all. They also install a bed cover I bought on Amazon for me. On top of that I called on a late notice. I highly recommend and would come back any day for anything I need done
My sunroof spontaneously shattered and I was recommended this place by a Firestone guy. Cimo helped me throughout the entire two month process, working with my insurance company, repairing my car, and leaving it cleaner than ever before. Thanks for helping me out!
Jay and his team did great job repairing my truck and great customer service. Every time I called they had the best attitude and always a new update. Recommend this shop for sure.
They consistently deliver high-quality work at reasonable prices, and I can always count on them to get great results. The only downside is that they're often quite busy — a clear sign of how popular and in demand they are.
I had to have an entire engine replaced on a rangerover sport hse 2018, COLOSSAL PROJECT. BEST SERVICE i have had from a mechanic, the shop is fair and if you treat them with respect and fairness they will go that extra step to make sure you are taken care of. ABSOLUTELY A SATISFIED CUSTOMER A+
Great service, very professional staff and the job was done correctly and on time. My truck looks just like it did when I purchased it from the dealership.
I took my car here over a month ago after an accident and the service/attention I was given was PHENOMENAL. Everyone who I came across with was extremely respectful and made it their duty to fix any issues. I highly recommend them.
Very pleased with my experience! There was some trouble with my insurance and JK worked their hardest and got me back into my car before my rental expired. Would recommend!
Great experience at JK auto center and JD Towing. Fixed two vehicles with them and as you can see in the photos it looks/works good as new after. I get multiple quotes for anything automotive related but JK auto always has had the fairest price relative to quality of work. Their customer service is top notch as well. Very cool guys, and my car looks sharp inside and out when I go to pick it up.
I recently had my brake booster assembly w/ master cylinder and brake booster pump replaced here. Jay and his team did an excellent job, and the work was completed on time. Communication was top-notch throughout the process. Highly recommend this shop for their professionalism and quality work!
Fantastic local shop. Took in my truck for some body repairs and they did a great job. Looks good as new and came back washed with the interior cleaned. Jay and Semo were very knowledgeable and professional. Had no trouble getting them on the phone and they responded to emails promptly. Work was done well in line with their original time estimate. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
The results and professionalism that come out of this place are amazing. From the time I called for the first time to the time I took delivery of my vehicle their communication was on point, it's hard to find a place that is honest, reliable, and also puts out top notch work. I will never take my vehicle anywhere else for body work. Thank you so so much to the team at JK for making my dreams a reality.
As a Widow there is nothing more terrifying than car trouble. Yesterday it began happening. My Husband used to deal with repair shops as I'd had bad experiences using them without a male present. The prospect of being taken advantage of financially was a real fear as I am on a fixed income. From the moment I called JK Auto Center they put me at ease. My Cousin (an auto mechanic) had already informed me that based on what my Hyundai was doing it may be the battery. Auto Zone got all weird on the phone about battery replacement when I said it was a Korean vehicle due to battery "location", tools needed ect. so I crossed them off the list of solutions. The gentleman at JK Auto asked me to bring it in for a diagnosis of the issue. At this point they could have told me anything regarding the car, and Id've been at their mercy. Instead they confirmed it simply was the battery, then gave me a very fair price for the job to which I added some extra requests due to my confidence in them. I sat in their tidy waiting room, and around an hour later all the work was finished. I was educated with tips regarding the vehicle, there were no "surprise" charges, and everyone treated me with kindness, and respect. I'm so happy I went to JK Auto Center! They turned a highly stressful situation into a great day. Without hesitation I will be a loyal customer going forward.
They did an excellent job with my car repair. Fast and reliable. Can't thank them enough for helping me out. If you need a mechanic, this is the place to go. Don't even hesitate because you'll regret it later. Honest hard working people are hard to come by these days. Thank you guys for your work
Great service and Jay went above the expectations on my car repair and got more damage covered under my claim. Also, the workmanship on my vehicle was very good. I am happy that he was able to replace the non broken headlight at no cost to me. Highly recommend.
Great shop. Very professional. They went above and beyond to help me with my insurance company. My insurance company wanted to fix the car the cheapest way possible and not replace some needed components behind the bumper. Jk took the one to remove and show all damaged components to my insurance and insisted on only new genuine parts.
Customer service and communication is great. They called me several times to let me know how they were doing with car and insurance battle. The fined repair is perfect. You would never know it was damaged. The picture doesn’t show the damaged underneath but all that was also repaired!
JK Auto Center was recommended for a car problem that I was having and I was able to meet the owner, Jay. Thank you to this business for waiting for me to pick up my car just as your business was about to close. Jay has a great Team who helped fix my car issues. Jay and Team are personable, honest, and friendly and I would highly recommend them!
From my first visit several years ago for body work after a collision, to getting my transmission replaced this week, I feel fortunate to have someone trustworthy like Jay. He's always been honest, thorough, and professional. It's not just a body shop--If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust I can't recommend him highly enough.
UPDATE--three years in and the new transmission is still working just great. Jay gave me such a good deal on the transmission replacement I was skeptical it would last, but I trusted him. And my trust was well placed.
You know how you try to find a doctor or a vet and you stick with one for life once you trust the person? And you tell everyone how good your doctor is?
This is that place for my cars.
It's the only place I come to for anything auto-related (minus tires at Costco) and in turn the only place I recommend others to check out. My whole family has been coming here for as long as I can remember (20+ yrs? Have they even been around that long?), because we never need to question that they provide the best service and honest work for the best price.
$25.50 for car inspections and discounted if you pay cash :)
Jay replaced both my valve covers and checked my alternator on my Honda Accord. Very friendly and professional. Looking forward to do future business with them. Highly recommended place for body and automotive work ??
I had an accident while I was visiting my Niece. Jay was amazing at get my repair in and out . The work was amazing, in all my years of dealing with body shops, this is by far the best I have ever dealt with. Thank you so much for an awesome experience.
Thanks JK for helping me with my Lexus ES350 seats and parts. These guys are incredible they helped me with my driver side Lexus seat that was ripped. They gave me a quality leather seat from a Lexus they had in their lot and they installed it all at a great value. They were friendly and very knowledgeable and even helped me with other parts. I highly recommend them. Thanks JK auto center!
Great, knowledgable, professional and very trust-worthy group of mechanics. JK Auto provides great fair pricing for the parts and labor. Their towing service is very convenient as well. I've gotten a few repairs done with them so far, and they do their very best to get your car back to you in a timely manner. I visit them quite often to get my oil change and car inspection done as well. Highly recommended! Thanks JK!
These guys did a fantastic job. They're honest and keep you in the loop on whatever is going on. The work ended up having to be a bit longer than expected due to shipping (quarter panel replacement) and we actually ran out of rental car time. They lent me a vehicle so that I wouldn't be charged and took care of returning my rental. If something comes up they will work with you to come to a resolution. Service aside they're really good at body work, looks like nothing ever happened. Lots of shops around, especially in spring branch but these guys service took it for me.
Jay, was great help from the second I walked in our accident happen on Friday before Memorial Day weekend! Very informative, the insurance process happened just as he said it would, even called the rental company to pick us up, the final outcome of our repairs, speechless! Our truck looks flawless, I definitely recommend this shop to anyone in Spring Branch!
Thank You, Jay and staff

JK is amazing. I live in the neighborhood and have had multiple small jobs done here. Today, I needed a side mirror replaced on my Carolla. I called and Nelson answered. He got the make and model of my car, ordered the part and it arrived the same day! I brought my car over and he was actually able to reattach my old mirror and save me the cost of a new part. He even noticed I have a crack on the passenger side of my windshield and went ahead and got an estimate together for me. He went above and beyond this time and every other time to provide great, friendly, honest service and was quick. I highly recommend and will be continuing to bring my vehicles here and tell friends and family.
