Jacob’s Garage

The most honest garage I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to several repair shops in my life and all of them have generally tried to rip me off. This place saw that my splash guard was ripped off and fixed it for free, not even a labor cost. They are amazing people and gives me hope that there are still good people in the world.

100% proven HONEST MECHANIC! I thought I needed a me timing belt, about a $ 500 job. They told me I didn’t need it yet, to come back in 30,000 miles. That proved to me they are an honest shop. The staff is friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable. Sometime I just need to describe the issue and they know exactly what it is. I’ve been going to them for 15 years and never had a problem of any kind. I refuse to take my car anywhere else, even for just an oil change. The best in town!

Whenever I have any type of issue with my car… I take it to Jacob’s Garage. What I appreciate the most about this place is the fact that they are HONEST. Before I found this location, I dreaded taking my car in because mechanics would tell me 101 things that my car needed (that it really didn’t need). It’s refreshing to know that you can take your car in a shop and get an honest assessment of the problem and a FAIR price!

Brought my car in for one wheel bearing replacement. I was skeptical but Zvi upsold me to replace both bearings. If that was all I’d give them 4 stars.
Things got worse. I was told my car was ready and went to drive away and my radio didn’t turn on. I brought this to their attention and was told they were too busy that day to look at it. I should come back first thing two days later. I wasn’t happy but what choice did I have they already had my money. I brought it back and waited several hours. Your car is ready. Yea! I turn on the car and the radio works, but now the ABS and check engine lights are on. Are you kidding me!?! They were expecting me to just drive away like that. Then it’s the same story «oh really we didn’t do anything to cause that and we’re too busy today but come back some other day.»
Poor craftsmanship, clueless and an apparently overworked shop. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE! They caused more problems than they fixed.
UPDATE: 6 months later I’ve got a grinding noise coming from one of the replaced bearings or possibly the CV. They said one year guarantee on parts and labor but I am afraid to bring my car to this shop. What a nightmare!

Staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest, which I certainly appreciate because I have very limited knowledge of cars! I recommend you come in early, particularly on their Saturday hours. I will definitely be returning for future car servicing.

Yes, I pretty much have the same thing to say as most reviewers. The employees at this shop are very honest and provide great service. I’ve gotten multiple things taken care of here for my little old ’98 Nissan; which is a pain in the butt for me, but I know that they will get the problem taken care of and do an outstanding job. Really happy that I found this place and I will certainly continue to bring them business whenever my car is demanding attention.

Always honest and fair in pricing. I recently moved in the neighborhood and found this shop. I have used them for oil changes, brake jobs, replacement of serpentin belt and checking engine light. Each time I have gone, they have taken care of the issue and provide great service. Its so hard to find an honest shop but Jacobs is one honest shop.

I’ve been to this garage a few times and have been impressed with the service I have received. The first time I went, I had tried to change the rear brakes on one of our cars myself, but couldn’t seem to get them to not rub on the drums. I took it to Jacob’s garage, and they corrected the way a couple of the springs had been installed and only charged me a nominal fee ($ 30, I think, less than a typical half hour labor). That was a situation where they could have easily taken advantage of me if they had wanted to. They’ve also taken care of a few other issues for us on one of our older cars, and each time I felt they treated us fairly, did the repairs in a timely manner, and treated us well. I plan to continue to take our cars here for maintenance in the future.

Just like the reviews said. Nice, professional and straight forward. Fair prices. Definitely my new mechanic.

Took my Murano in for what it seemed to be a Power Steering Leak they found the issue and he gave me an estimate right away. Took it back a few days later to get the work done and it was finished as promised. Zvi the owner really took the time to tell me the issue and how it was going to get resolved. Great customer service with fair pricing. Will definetly be back if my car has any more issues. Keep up the great work.

Jacob’s Garage is the only place I will go!
They are super honest and reliable. My dad only
goes to Jacob’s and he introduced me to them. If you need a trustworthy shop then they would be where you wanna go.

I’ve been to this place twice now. Both times, the repairs on my vehicle were done thoroughly and at a fair price.
They were very friendly, and the owners (Father and son) are onsite; which means they take care that the business runs well and look forward to repeat customers.
I got the impression that they are very honest too.
I highly recommend this shop. Something I would find hard to do for any Car repair shop.

I found some good reviews for this garage on another site. Looking for a good mechanic to take care of my Subaru here in the Miramar area, I was hoping to find that magic mix of friendly, knowlegable, and honest. The crew at Jacobs get a star for knowledgeable. They seem to work on any kind of car, they have many years (generations) of experience and a sizable garage. They do everything from oil changes to overhauls. However, when I called ahead to see if I could bring in my car for a quick oil change, they said sure, bring it right now. I was there 15 minutes later and the rather unfriendly guy at the desk tells me it will be about an hours wait. I was kind of surprised by this since I had just called ahead (didn’t seem honest). When I asked if this was what I could expect to wait normally, he got kind of hard nosed (in that rude «I could care less» kind of way) and I got turned off. There was another woman there who was waiting and after mr. obnoxious left the room, she spoke up and said she had the same experience and she would not be coming back here. This place had really good reviews on another site so I may give it one more chance, but it wasn’t a good start.
