What clients say about Jack's Auto Repair in Oak Harbor (WA)

My husband took my car to get my control arm replaced and was originally told 250$ granted an estimate is just that an estimate. He was there for 10-15 minutes after they took the car back and once he left they called and told him the 250 est was now a 375 estimate. The fishy part is that he called jacks back to be told the estimate was 263$ and not the 375 he was JUST told. A good 100$ less than what they just called and was quoted at within 30 minutes. Just for him to pick it up and be 294 after tax. Listen to the yelp reviews. We skipped on the alignment due to sketchiness and untrustworthiness and chose the dealership to say the least. In the future we won’t be going back. Any business where the employees have to leave reviews to boost the amount of stars is a red flag. (Edit: I added the ss of the yelp review left by an employee. Also when I called myself I was told the same things for the car would be 375$ to get a control arm that I purchased my self to be put on the car, so 375$ for labor and I guess the 10$ for their supplies. alignment cost not included in that. Customers beware)

We were stranded in town due to a sudden cylinder misfire issue. Jacks was able to get us in and out within 24 hours. Obviously this can't always be guaranteed but we appreciated the help on short notice! Mike was also very knowledgeable and happy to take the time and go into detail about all the work done, and all the things to look out for in the future with our truck. Its clear they have a great team here and communication was great. Thanks again to everyone at Jacks Auto for their help!

I brought my truck to Jack's for a new transmission. It has been back in their shop twice since then to fix leaks due to the low quality of their work, and it's never driven well since. I recently went to another shop because of my frustrations with Jack's. They found a long list of issues, including a kinked and cracked transmission dipstick tube covered in a ball of silicone, finger tight and leaking transmission cooler lines (which is the last thing I went to Jack's for,) bell housing bolts not properly tightened, and the list goes on. Save your stress, time, and money and go elsewhere.

I called Jack’s auto on Tuesday, they were able to get my car in by Wednesday and had it done by Friday. They were fast friendly and honest. Jack went the extra mile to make sure I fully understood all the repairs they had done. I highly recommend this locally owned family run auto shop!

Never heard anything bad about it, always drove past it every time I drove out of oak harbor. A lot of work goes into keeping this business going so 5stars.

I got a “fairly confident” diagnose for the issue with my car. Not to mention, a huge tear in my seat cover from someone getting in and out. Also about 75 sets of greasy handprints on my trunk. Not sure why SO many people were in the trunk there or why they had to open and shut it so many times. The emblem I had on the back of the car was broken off. Also, I had to pay for $25 of gas they supposedly put in but they couldn't produce me a gas receipt for it? And the paperwork was gone through that I had sitting on my seat that was now thrown all over the floor of the car when I picked it back up.

So this place is an auto mechanic. It's somewhere you hope you will not have to visit. And if you do, it will cost far more than what you want to spend. They charge €125 an hour which is basically average and I'm not in a Position to evaluate their skill (which could be high). They had good communication and seemed reasonable. Would I Automatically come back here? No. Would I consider coming back here? Definitely. And that is my advice to you. There are several Auto mechanics in Oak Harbor. Call around and if you like what Jack's says, then come here. They did not overpromise and under deliver so you can make a fairly informed choice.

Jack's Auto - with Jack and Josh and the whole team have once again provided perfect service for my 1992 S-10 and 2008 Toyota Sienna! Both vehicles had long-term electrical system issues and technician Mike with Shannon and all figured it out and did the exactly right-on repairs at a very fair price: Thanks Jack's Auto for 14-plus years of outstanding, worthy service (and you even laugh at my jokes)!!!

They found that my 2000 Lexus was too rusty to repair the park break. If they only want to work on new cars without rust or oil they should say that off front and don’t charge 52$ for 10 minutes of deciding not to do the work.

Jack's is the only place on island I trust with my truck. They're friendly and have always been great to me. Highly recommend! Any problem with the Ford, they get her purring again in no time! Professional, knowledgeable, and will never overcharge you for anything. Been going to the shop for around 3 years now, finally time I wrote a review! PS - the crew does a great job at storing and maintaining vehicle while I'm deployed!

They diagnosed my car, gave me 2 options, 7000 for a new engine, or drive it until it blows up. I got a 2nd opinion, there's 4 codes that were given, and turns out it's an easy fix. I don't recommend this place to anyone. In fairness, they didn't charge for the so called vehicle diagnosis that was performed.

Amazing work and customer service. Fair pricing and honest work. Shannon specifically did a fantastic job working with me on what I needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone tired of being ripped off by city franchise shops.

ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICE. The entire staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you again and again for getting my car fixed and ready for my sudden road trip. I will definitely be a repeat customer. T

Great people! Thank you Josh for taking me home as I was stranded on a Friday morning with my car pack with donations for the thrift shop and a whole bunch of items to bring over to the recycle center. Car working great again.

Told me I had too much air in my fuel lines from my air conditioner being messed up. I don’t know anything about cars so I believed it but my car guy friends told me that it wasn’t even possible since they’re completely different systems. Paid $600ish for a part I didn’t even need and my car still messed up 4 months later with the same issue. Turns out my fuel pump was faulty.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Jack was fair in his pricing, honest in his work and we couldn't be happier with the exceptional customer service his team had for myself and my family. (And no, we don't work for jacks..Honest review)

Great service, fixes problems for reasonable cost. Time and cost estimates are accurate. Best repair experience I have had in Washington state (vastly better than various dealerships in this area).

Such nice/wonderful folks!!! Very accommodating, managed to find time to diagnose AND fix my rig even though they were booked solid today. Offered me a cost-effective and honest solution rather than gouging me, I'm road worthy again and at half the cost that was quoted by another company in Oak Harbor. I am very impressed with their service!

My car broke down on a trip to Deception pass. The tow truck driver took us to Jack's. I was told they wouldn't be able to do anything until Monday. This being a Friday this was terrible news. We were from out of town and stranded. To make a long story short they took the time to fix my car and got us back on the road. Great honest people, good prices, cleanest bathroom and very much appreciated! Thank you to Jack and Ron Jr.! If I lived closer this would be the place to go for all my auto repair!

Fantastic guys! Kind, honest and straight to the point. Even offered me a ride home when I dropped off my car! Told me to come back at 1000 miles so they can make sure my gasket properly sealed at no extra charge!!

I went here since it was close to my place, I expected normal things but they went well above what I hoped, they fixed my car when I took it in and found some other issues that they helped me get taken care of. They have great customer support and are a pleasure to go to, I'll definitely be making these guys my go to repair shop

Never coming back here again. The first time I came to these guys, I had a massive oil leak and needed help asap. They helped me out and I was satisfied with my care (the first time). Came back a second time to get my oil changed. They proceeded to tell me I had oil in my coolant. They told me it would cost $1700. It was obvious I didn't know much about cars because I was asking a lot of questions. They told me not to drive my car long distances and to be extremely careful. Just recently I had my friend's dad replace me radiator because I was leaking (cracked radiator). I asked about the oil in my coolant. He said I definitely have oil in there, but it's not from a leak from a blown had gasket. Someone HAD to have poured oil into my coolant tank. And it had to be the guys at Jack's auto repair. NEVER going back again.

I shopped around quite a bit before deciding to take my vehicle to Jack's. An older gentleman I know who does all his own work on his beloved cars was going to take his daily driver into Jack's for a big job because it needed to go up on a lift and he informed me that Jack's had a stellar reputation here in Oak Harbor. I hopped on the phone and asked them for a rough quote on the job I needed done and they were noticeably more affordable than other people in the area. I wasn't even quite sure what part I needed because I was unsure if I had ABS because the car was new to me. They ordered both parts to make sure they had the correct one on hand and said they could just return the unused part for a refund. I know nothing about cars other than how to drive them and I feel comfortable taking my vehicle here without the fear that they will tack on unnecessary work. Thank you Jack's for taking car of my new car and getting it road worthy for a reasonable price with AMAZING service. Same day fix and extremely courteous on the phone. I will be back for all my mechanic needs!

Service was professional; everyone I talked to was polite. There were extra, unexpected repairs to my car, and Jack invited me into the shop to show me the old parts and explained why they had to be replaced. There was nothing about the experience that I wish was different. I will definitely be back again.

Seriously wish I could give them more stars. We have been on the island for almost 5 years and Jack's is the only place we'll go. They are so nice and understanding. They do an amazing job and are honest good people. Sadly we are heading back in because our suv broke down but we know Jack's will take great care of it.

I had a vehicle that was stalling and not throwing error codes. I brought it into Jack's who was very honest that without the stalling occuring for them to see or error codes the option was to throw parts at it hoping to fix it which they did not recommend. They did however take the time to review the characteristics of my stall referencing databases narrowing it down to a recall for an ECM relay on my Xterra. My dealership stated the relay was replaced on recall but I took Jack's advice to replace anyway and it solved the issue. I was impressed they took the time to discuss this with me even though they were not going to make any money off me. If I lived in the area I would definately be bringing my vehicle here. Thank you.

Thank you! Your customer service and honesty have restored my confidence in small business owners! I will definately recommend Jack's Auto Repair to anyone I know who may need auto repair service. Best of Whidbey Award is Well Deserved!

Honest and upfront from the get go. Priced a bit higher than a couple other places but service and treatment at Jacks was far superior! Josh saved me money as well by informing me of another repair they could do while they had my truck and avoiding another appt and more labor. They were recommended to me and now I see why. Very pleased! Thank you Jacks!

We were on Whidbey Island for a getaway between Christmas and New Years when our 2004 Lincoln Navigator decided to start acting up on the Friday before New Years weekend. Jacks got our truck in right away, gave us a reasonable time and estimate, and kept us informed the whole time. We were able to rent a car right down the street for a day and then got our car back on Saturday so we could go home on Sunday as planned, rather than be stranded on the Island or have to take out a weekly rental and return the following weekend. Not only that, but they came in under the price they quoted us! We were very happy with their professional, pleasant, and prompt service and would highly recommend them.
