Jim’s Automotive

LOVE THIS SHOP! Many who have broken down on the way to the Mountains with no idea where to go. These guys were amazing. Lucky to see them off the road. I was greeted by Travis and he immediately called another shop to see what was wrong. Hooked up a diagnostic and began to trouble shoot the problem. Because I have a foreign car he told me the problem and referred me to another shop down the road. They watched my dog while waiting for a tow and spent an hour helping me. when I asked to pay he said no charge. It could not have been a worse time with a full car and puppy in tow. without there willingness to help and kindness It would have made a bad day worse. Thanks Guys! We will definitely refer anyone to you guys. and bring our Ford truck if we are ever in need. Blessed to have met you!

I have used Jims several times. Years ago my husband worked for him and whenever someone was looking for an honest company we have referred them to Jim.

My Honda passport broke down on a Sunday of all days & I was at a loss– I had my vehicle towed to Jim’s & dropped it off– I thought for sure it was going to be the fuel pump & a very expensive repair– instead they got me fixed & up and running– When I asked how much I owed they said «the diag fee covered it» I was surprised I did not get gouged. Also they put me on a an action plan to address some things they were seeing– This company has made me a raving fan & I will recommend them to all my friends–

Nothing but great experiences at Jim’s Automotive. We’ve taken our cars here for smog checks about 3 different times. Easy appointments. Service is totally professional & courteous. Price is about $ 60.

Jim’s Auto seems to do good work… no complaints there. But they are way overpriced. I go there when I need my car back quickly… otherwise if I can wait I go elsewhere for half the price and just as good a job.

Since we moved here ten years ago done all our work, on three cars, and always excellent, everything explained. And a years guarantee on the work.

Honest and fair… it doesn’t get any better than that!

Way over priced, go to Sierra nevada tire and wheel right down the street.

Jim and crew do a great job here. They’re down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable, and their pricing is very reasonable. I always go to Jim’s for any car services.

Seemed nice but shoddy work and lies. Came in for a transmission cooler leak. They didn’t fix it (was leaking again soon) and broke my radiator trying to reach for a quick-​and-​dirty fix. Cost me $ 400+ then a new radiatior and new transmission cooler too. Worst of it was, they knew they broke a part off the radiator, fixed it with goop and then tried to tell me it was not them. I had looked carefully at the radiatior a few hours before so I know they were lying. DO NOT trust them with your vehicle.

These guys are amazing! I had an emergency on the way from Tahoe to Silicon Valley…they squeezed me in and the mechanic worked his lunch break to get me back on the road. They were honest and didn’t try to «sell» me anything I didn’t need. If I were a local I would trust them with anything. Thank you Jim’s and I appreciate honest, hardworking businesses like you!

I feel very fortunate to have a mechanic like Jim that is 100% trustworthy and fair. After a few months of working on a lemon of a vehicle I had Jim refused to put anymore work or my money into the vehicle and he advised me to give up on it and recommended a great new car thats been a blessing. I take my vehicles to Jims for all services and Im always impressed with the service I receive, their knowledge and fair prices. Ive had noisy brakes that I could have sworn were bad but Jims told me they were noisy, but had a lot of pad life left and saved me a lot of money. Ive also had to have unexpected and costly but necessary services and that pill is a lot easier to swallow when its coming from someone you can trust implicitly.
I highly recommend Jims Automotive!

I work near Jim’s and so I drop off our cars there several times a year. Always get good service, fair prices, etc. I had a nasty brake sound last year … took it in and they said they took the wheel off and could find nothing wrong… must have been a pebble that fell out when wheel came off. They wouldn’t take any money… none. That sold me. It would have been a perfect time to foist some brake work off on me and I would never have known it wasn’t needed.
I also had a much loved but hopelessly unsmoggable Taurus that Jim advised me to sell to the state rather than opening my wallet with him to start trying stuff to get it to pass smog… he could have taken a lot of money from me on that one, becuase I loved that old boat, but in hindsight it was the right call.

I’ve had my truck smogged here twice — reasonable cost; friendly and quick service.
