JMC Automotive Concepts

I can’t say enough good words about JMC Automotive Concepts. Mitch (the owner) is a excellent mechanic with great customer service skills! I have taken both my cars there for the regular oil change and checkup, and also for the more advanced problems (like when you car’s cooling system fails on the 78…) I must have used JMC Automotive Concepts at least 10 times by now (my cars are getting older) and Mitch never fails to solve the problem in a fast and professional manner. He has even offered to drive me back to my office after I have dropped the car off. I recommend Mitch to anyone who has ANY car problems. No matter the car, Mitch can fix it!
Thanks Mitch!

I was under the impression at first that JMC Automotive might be new to Vista, but while Mitch was checking to be sure all lights on my old Neon worked on I found out that he was actually from the area originally and had just recently moved back to town with his family. His wife, Toni, was there as well and the two of them really make you feel like a neighbor when you are in their shop. Mitch explained what was going on with my car and took the time to give me a couple options on what needed fixing most, what would be needed soon, and a bit of a better deal if I did it all together. He lifted my car and showed me exactly where the cracks were and what the part should look like. I was surprised that Mitch even offered to pick me up or drop me off after if my husband wasn’t able to come get me. I feel like that kind of service is above and beyond most auto repair shops.
Did I mention the puppy? Mitch and Toni have a tendency to adopt — I was lucky enough to be there on a day when they brought in their latest puppy adoption and OMG how cute and well behaved that guy was. Being animal lovers they totally understood when I was entirely distracted by the cuteness but I have to say people that adopt have a certain level of kindness that I really admire and respect.
I will absolutely be bringing my car back to JMC Auto and will recommend them any friend that needs a repair, or even their windshield wipers fixed. In fact, this is the place I’ll go prior to any road trip to make sure my car is in tip top shape for my travels!

I can’t say enough good things about Mitch and Tony. I brought my car in for an oil change and to get new wiper blades. They’re honest people and do great work. I’m glad I finally found a family run shop that I can really trust. I will definitely be bringing my car back here when it needs anything. I would recommend JMC to anybody that wants a place for fair prices and great service!

Wow. Brought my car in to get it checked before a long road trip and couldn’t be happier with the results. I’m a young girl who knows nothing about cars and could easily get ripped off. Mitch was honest with his repair and even showed me how to check my oil. Excellent and prompt customer service.

My mom and I have both taken our cars to this shop. They are very honest and fair with their prices. The head mechanic Mitch is very friendly and generous. He is super knowledgeable and won’t find extra charges for things that don’t need repairs. I highly recommend this shop!

I had an immediate problem with my older Cadillac and I just drove around Vista looking for some help. My wife and I drove into JMC auto Concepts, got lucky and found a gem. A very honest mechanic and a friendly home town atmosphere here. The mechanic would not do any unnecessary work even after I offered 100 dollars as I just wanted a immediate mechanical repair solution. Great advice and a VERY reasonable repair bill. I highly recommend this business!!!

I bought a new GM engine from nearby TurnKey Engines, and Mitch at JMC performed the engine removal and installation. I have had no problems with his workmanship during the 5000 miles since the installation… no leaks, rattles, loose bolts, etc. He did note a master cylinder leak (hey…185,000 miles) and this was replaced along with the previously recommended motor mounts and clutch slave cylinder, which are easy to do when everything is apart. I now bring both of my cars to JMC for regular preventative maintenance.

Honest mechanic with a fair price. Recommend for all cars, guy is a genius and very into buggies and the desert. Very friendly and hardworking.
