    5 J's Subaru Specialist is definitely my new go-to Subaru shop for my 18yr old Forester! I drove all the way from SF to figure out why my recently refreshed suspension (from another shop) was continuing to squeak, and 5 Js immediately pinpointed the exact issue. They sent me detailed videos and pictures showing what was causing the sound in the control arm, which was incredibly helpful. Their attention to detail was also great--they even noticed that one of my front wheels were not torqued to spec, and one of my wheel locks were missing, something that had to happen after replacing my tires at another shop. They were quick to order the necessary parts and managed to fit me into their schedule without delay. 5 J's isn't just a Subaru specialty shop; they're genuine Subaru enthusiasts who treat every car like it's their own. They have lots of amazing builds on their lot, and their passion, knowledge, customer service, and professionalism make them go-to, trustworthy specialists for any Subaru owners! Thank you for helping me make dream build come to life!

    First things first, Jose was great to work with on this project. I emailed him a lot asking a lot of questions regarding the install, pricing, time, etc, and he was super patient and courteous when answering everything. His respond time was great, all within an hour or within the day. I asked him and his team to install a Cobb Stage 2 Redline Kit for me and a AOS (Air Oil Separator). Every shop I asked said they would take 2 days to do the install, which I understood, since the AOS is quite the install. But during the install, Jose let me know that they would be able to do both within the day. That was great news to me, since my WRX is my only car. The work was really clean. They took the proper precautions to protect your car during the install. By request, they saved all the old parts for me since i requested it, with which they helped pack back into the boxes that came with the Stage 2 Kit. The communication during the install was also great, they would message me during the install and sent photos as well. Also as a plus if you like dogs, they have the friendliest dogs chilling there. Their dogs just wanted all the pets lol. I've been driving the car for almost a week at the time of this review, and haven't run into any problems. I'll definitely come back here for any other work I need on my WRX.

    I came here for an overdue timing belt replacement. While my car was in the shop, they noticed that my radiator was leaking and needing some parts replaced. Jose called me to let me know and went over the full estimate on the phone and sent me pictures of what he was referring to/what needed to be replaced, and that while he needed to order a part, he would be able to get my car done in the same day. When I picked up my car, he went over what was done as well. I appreciate the communication and service I received here very much! For the animal lovers: there are also two very sweet German shepherds that will also bring a smile to just about anyone's faces. :)

    I am attempting to contact this business. Sold me a battery and installed it last December. 12/11/23 thereabouts. I actually was in need of major engine work and ended with PM Automotive, who I must say are fabulous. They communicate well. I call and get voicemail and no room to leave a message. Website does not work. It says invalid. Cannot leave a message within the Yelp app. My battery is dead. Just 10 months later. Ridiculous. Sell me a crap battery or what? It left me dead in the road twice. PM did a tuneup for me said "yeah it's no good". 5 J cannot even get a hold of. Last December Jose wouldn't even reply to an email or anything. I had just gotten a medical evaluation of cancer reoccurrence and PM was right there to help me with superb work. Take your car to PM Automotive keep driving past 5 J. I spent over 300 at 5 J for this battery and install. Let me say I do not like leaving negative reviews for anyone. It just isn't who I am. I believe everyone deserves a chance. Sometimes though the disregard is blatant.

    I bought a break fluid oil flush voucher on groupon for mini cooper. Before I went to the shop, I…read morecalled the merchant to schedule an appointment with my car info and how it's working. The owner didn't mention ay additional charges. When I went to the shop , the owner told me I need to pay additional $40 dollars for oil recycling which is not mentioned on the groupon website. I told him I can accept the charge and I need the receipt with the $40 additional charge to follow up with groupon about it. The owner said I am not interested in the deal anymore and asked me to leave and get a refund from groupon. I also noticed the owner increased the break fluid flush price on groupon from $160 to $240 after I left the shop today. It's a really bad experience for customers that the owner can change his mind and reject the service. Update for owner's review below "a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement" , groupon adversisement doesn't mention any special vehicle price. After the owner told me to charge additional $40, I was confused and later accepted the charge while telling him to get the receipt for reference then I can follow up with groupon. After that, the owner refused to do the service. I guess the owner don't want his practice to be exposed to groupon. The owner could have listed the additional charge on the groupon website in the beginning to let customers be clear about all the cost. " TheThe individual came in with a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement. We told him it would be an additional $20 and there was also $20 for hazardous waste because the Groupon does not cover exotic Europeans he's on here acting like a child and leaving negative reviews I offered to work with him but he was combative and at that point we had asked him to leave do the safety constraints of the business and our employees. We will not be taking well to being threatened or harassed"

    I had such a great experience with C & N Automotive and honestly wish I had found them sooner…read more From the moment I walked in, they were professional, friendly, and actually took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. That alone is huge, because a lot of places make you feel rushed or like you're being talked over--but not here. They were upfront about pricing, didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary, and got the work done quickly without cutting corners. You can tell they've been doing this for a long time and actually care about their customers and their reputation. What stood out the most to me was how honest and straightforward they were. It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust, but this is definitely one of those places. If you need a smog check, repair, or even just an inspection, I would 100% recommend giving them a shot. I'll definitely be coming back here for anything I need moving forward.
