    My Gray Wolf
    Pietro M.

    Brought my well loved BMW X5 with M packages to Auto Plus today. Usually I stick with BMW specialty shops but was advised by a few friends to try Auto Plus out. Full brake service (including brake fluid) and Oil change. I am very pleased with the service, knowledge , friendliness, value and timely completion. I will confidently recommend them to all my friends.

    Pricey oil change

    They're nice enough and I've gone to them at least half a dozen times but I think they're getting pricier. I can usually find an oil and filter change for 30% less (at least!) than this. So I'll probably be taking my business elsewhere going forward.

    I hope my review can benefit at least someone and not be fooled by Auto Plus. Auto Plus didn't do their work properly and was fraudulent. Here is my bad experience: My coolant light was on and I brought my car to Auto Plus. The agreement was to replace radiator, belt tensioner, pulley and oil filter housing gasket with original parts. Next day, I paid $1249.89 and picked up my car. A week later, my coolant light came on again. I brought my car back to Auto Plus again for them to check their work. The owner Ali said he found no leak in the cooling system, instead my car was "overheated with white smoke from the exhaust system" and "the head gasket was damaged". He insisted my car had all these problems before I brought my car in. His diagnose was leaking through the head gasket into the engine and out the exhaust. I kept telling him, I never see any other warning lights or overheated light were on in my car. He still insisted his diagnoses and started my car and tried to show me where the engine temperature gauge was and the white smoke he found from exhaust system. I heard some noise from my engine that I had never heard of before. My car wasn't like that when I gave it to Auto Plus. Ali insisted my engine sounded right and no noise. I heard the noise and it sounded differently than before. After more than 10 minutes, he still couldn't find the engine temperature gauge on my car. He then asked his friend where was the engine temperature gauge? His friend told him immediately, there was no engine temperature gauge in my car. Only when the car is overheated, the warning light will be on to notify the driver. The owner Ali left silently and showed his unprofessional behavior at the same time. He then kept explaining how my head gasket was damaged to cause coolant leaking and tried to avoid their mistakes. He denied the mistakes without any apologizes. He even told me, I can still drive my car, even though his diagnose showed the engine was overheated and head gasket was damaged. He said I can continue to drive my car some distances and pull my car on the side of road or on the freeway to take a break if I feel the car is overheated. He also said I can check my coolant and add coolant every day before driving. His responses were very disappointing and unprofessional again. I started to find solutions as I was stupid to believe my car was overheated and head gasket was damaged by Auto Plus's diagnoses. I talked to the Weatherford BMW and other auto shops; it would cost more than $10,000 to replace or repair. After I reviewed Auto Plus's Yelp reviews, I found there were many people had the bad experiences I just had. Their reviews stated Auto Plus was dishonest and shady, they denied their improper mechanic work and won't own up to their own mistakes... Then, I decided to take my car for a second opinion. Finally, the second auto shop found out the radiator which Auto Plus used into my car was "a poor quality aftermarket radiator with cut marks on the top and bottom" and coolant continued to leaks. Also, found Auto Plus "didn't replace tensioner and idler pulleys" which they needed to replace and what I had paid for $1249.89. The belt was found hanging off the edge and caused the belt to fail earlier. In addition, the second auto shop had proved there was no smoke from exhaust system and solved the noise from the engine. The truth is always revealed eventually. Auto Plus is not trustable for the work they agree to do, Auto Plus is unqualified for their misdiagnoses. Not recommended!!

Despite which I needed a Battery & Alternator Check to Satisfy Myself Fully that All is Well. Called Mr. Hamza @ Yen's Auto to explain the situation.

    1 star only...because 0 isn't an option…read more I booked an 11:00 a.m. appointment for an oil change in advance. I wasn't a walk-in. When I dropped off my car, I was told it would be ready around 12:30-1:00 p.m. and that I'd receive a call when it was done. I decided to stick around the area. At 1:00 p.m., after waiting two hours, I walked back to check on the status and found that they hadn't even started working on my car. When I told them I was leaving, the employee suddenly asked if I could wait another 10-15 minutes because he could "start it now". So frustrating. My scheduled appointment meant absolutely nothing until I complained and I was not interested in a rushed oil change... If your business can't honor appointment times, don't offer appointments. Respect your customers' time. I would not recommend taking your business here. I certainly won't be back.

I'm very happy with their service, they found the problem & fixed it expediently & since I told them I need a smog test in a few months & knew it wouldn't pass w/check engine light on, they called me when they fixed the light & told me not only that my battery was low & needs to be replaced B4 it strands me somewhere & they noticed the gas cap was leaking fumes, which won't pass smog. I told them replace the gas cap now & I have to wait on the battery till next month, (Retired living on a limited income), they replaced the gas cap & 2 days later I went to leave my house & had a dead battery! They were Spot on about the battery & I had to call AAA for a jump 2 times in 6 days. Next is getting my battery replaced. The check engine light hasn't came on since & I'm getting my truck smogged today, since they don't do Smog tests.

I had told them I spoke with the tech who said $442 the day before. The shop owner or whoever was in charge got very upset, said I was taking advantage of him because he had to pay his guys. He demanded I remove the car from their property after paying what the tech quoted me. Crooks. I shouldn't have paid them a dime.

    It's really sad when a business goes downhill. This shop USED to be really good, but after about…read more2007 something happened...I had been having all sorts of work done on my three vehicles at this location up until then. When I had a major transmission job done there in 2008, it was quoted at one price...and then things just kept getting added to the work order. Of course once the car is taken apart you are a bit over a barrel. What are you going to do? Ask for someone else to come in and inspect the new quote? The original quote was for $1500 and I ended up paying close to $4K for all the work. That really hurt and I felt that I didn't really get treated fairly. Fast forward to 2010 and I take another vehicle back in. I felt like the car was way overquoted, but since it wouldn't pass smog--I just got rid of it. That deal ended up being fine, but it didn't help with the "feeling" I had about the direction the shop was going. I went onto Yelp today since I had a GREAT experience with another local mechanic to see what others have been saying about this shop. Looks like I'm not the only one who has been felt like they were ripped off. Glad that I didn't go back for the recent work I needed done. There are plenty of other shops in the area. Check reviews on other sites as well and see what the majority have to say before you make your decision. Car repairs are too expensive to put up with this type of service.

This truck has a lot of sentimental value to me because it belonged to my dad before he passed away, so taking care of it means a lot to me. I truly appreciate Enrique and the team taking the time to do such a great job and treating my truck with care. The quality of their work was excellent, their communication was great, and they provided an incredible value for the price. They were professional, honest, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. You can really tell this is a great family-oriented business that takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about their customers. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! I highly recommend Enrique and J&E Automotive to anyone who needs automotive repairs. Thank you again for taking such great care of me and my truck. I'll definitely be coming back for any future repair needs!

I got a dead batter and asked that they look at this, and they fought tooth and nail; "we didn't touch your battery." So J&E was recommended and I am so glad they were. Short version: At first, it appeared my alternator was intermittently not working correctly. $1700 later and I still got 3 dead batteries over the following weekend. Turns out, the 2024 Odyssey battery had a dead cell. Warranty replaced for free, and the Truck is back in service. I can't recommend J&E higher, and they are now my new auto shop for life!
