My ford was leaking oil supposedly fixed two days later. Very pricey "repair" and worse when I got it back.

Great work,great price?,fantastic job and fast service! We were on our way to go visit the family when we noticed the car was running hot and loosing power,we had pulled into a gas station off the highway and it was on a Saturday so everyone had closed early. The gentleman that was behind the counter said that he knew someone that had a mobile mechanic service. We called him and within a half hour he was at our vehicle, with a smile. He assured me that he would have us back on the road shortly. After a couple of minutes of diagnostic work it was a big relief to see just how knowledgeable he was. He not only had saved us ALOT of money but he saved our Weekend too!!! Thank you CJ! read more

Service was quick and I was kept in the loop through text message. Very easy to work.

They were quick to offer me an appointment. I brought my car in and left with more problems then I came in with. I would not recommend and I most certainly won't be returning. read more

CJ Autoworks has been fair with me. Given that I drive an older car, Curtis tries to avoid repairs that are not needed. Very surprised at the other review. Their rates are average. The repairs hold. When I have asked for an estimate it has always been provided and is the amount I've paid. I've never been oversold or had repairs recommended that weren't needed. read more

Been going to CJ Auto for over 16 years. Fair prices, good-quality work, and they don't try to up-sell you to "repairs" you don't need. They won't turn a blind eye to safety issues, but they don't try to sell you a "Cadillac" fix when all you really want is to get back on the road. I had a dealer quote me $1300 for a starter replacement, but Curtis told me that the starter motor is rarely bad, and that it's usually a contact that goes bad - not the whole starter. Long story short, CJ Auto pulled the starter, turned the rotor, replaced the contacts - for $330. I trust them to do the right thing by me. read more

Took my car in as it was experiencing some issues with smoke and weird smells. As I work long hours, I left my car in the parking lot and put my key in the drop box with all of the information that I had regarding the car. This was Wednesday night. After not hearing anything, the next Monday around 11am I called and asked if they had gotten a chance to look at the vehicle. "We don't have that car. Oh hold on, it's still in the drop box." Was the response I got. Later that day I got a diagnostic. Waterpump was leaking, some belts were worn down, and AC compressor was seized. We texted back and forth about it for some time while I decided what to do (repair was much more than anticipated) and the very next day I approved a repair for the AC compressor, water pump, some belts, and an oil change. While negotiating, I was told that "Half the expense is the AC compressor work... I don't see any option for disabling it. You need it there, and spinning, so you can have a belt." This is why I okayed the repair. One week passed and I heard nothing new, so I called and asked about it, they said it would be finished "mid to late the next week". The next Friday, still nothing. I texted and asked for an update, there was no reply. Monday, requested another update. No news on the car, it will be done mid THIS week now (it was estimated at last week). Now I am supposed to be out of town, but my car finished last night, my girlfriend went to pick it up and the invoice is a disaster. I was double charged for an engine cleaning (which isn't necessary to the repair, was part of the diagnostic, but not necessary at all). My charge was still almost as quoted, but the AC compressor was not fixed, was disconnected, and they had not told me. I was charged almost the same price for not having the repair I was told was necessary done. After going in to talk to the manager, he basically shrugged at me and said, "oh well", threw a check to me for the double charge and said, "see you soon for the AC compressor repair." Will NEVER go there again or recommend to anybody. Avoid this shop. 4 days to realize that they have a car is ridiculous. misquoted time, and I'm looking at another $800 repair that I thought was getting done. What a joke and a scam. read more

So I have a Jeep Liberty with the sky slider roof. Had a problem with it, took it to the Jeep dealer for repair. They first started by telling me that it would cost $1500 to repair, which was appalling. (I am the original owner, the roof has been used sparingly. Jeep is WELL AWARE of problems with the roof but will not stand behind their product.) Then they told me they could not get the parts, even though I purchased the Liberty from that very dealer. I found a fix on You tube that did not involve new parts, the dealership absolutely refused to perform the repair. Honestly, they actually suggested that maybe if I brought it to an awning shop they might be able to do something. Now this is a Jeep product which I purchased at THAT dealership and they refused to stand behind the product- sent me down the road with no repair, basically told me I was sol. I had used CJ before and had a good experience so I figured I had nothing to lose. Brought it to Curtis, showed him the fix on YOUTUBE asked him if he could perform it. He said he could. The fix involved basically sealing the roof shut permanently. Three days later I called Curtis for an update he told me to come and get the Liberty it was finished. I asked him how the sealing went, he told me that they did not seal it , THEY FIXED IT!!! Turned out it did not need new parts, two of the pins in the arm that closed the roof had come out. The were able to reattach the pins and bond them so they would not come out again. FIXED and the cost? $230. Not the $1500 the dealership tried to RIP ME OFF with, $230 and a fixed roof. This shop is my "go to" place from now on. Imagine CJ could diagnose and fix while the dealership could do neither. (My last two Jeep purchases were from this dealer and after the way I was treated I will NEVER purchase another from them again, so buyer beware!) CJ says that they "can fix anything" I believe them. read more

I was referred to CJ's by a friend who said they had a really good experience here. I took in my car to have it inspected, and the report came back with a few problems with the suspension and thermostat, as well as some recommendations regarding timing belts, brake pads, and the battery. The gentleman also stated that an alignment would be needed after working on the two suspension issues. I took these all into consideration, and, as I had a warrantee on many of the parts/labor at other institutions, I instructed the gentleman to replace ONLY the front ball joint and nothing else. I would do the battery and rear shocks myself, and I would take the vehicle to another institution, where I had free brakes and alignment for life for this particular vehicle. We were speaking over the phone, and the gentleman (Curtis, I believe) informed me that, after replacing the front ball joint, an alignment would be needed. I told him expressly that I did NOT want an alignment done, as I had a free one somewhere else. He began arguing with me saying that it needed to be done, and I told him AGAIN, I did NOT want him to do the alignment. I said the words, "Please DO NOT do the alignment. ONLY replace the ball joint." He confirmed and said "Alright, then." He sounded hesitant, and I get it - there needs to be an alignment done after working on the suspension. My wife picked up the car, and lo and behold, they did the alignment anyway, and charged me $70.00 for it! She brought up the issue with another gentleman there (it wasn't Curtis that worked with her) and said, "Hey, so it says you did an alignment here, but we asked you specifically not to do so. The guy replied, "Well, we did." And that was it! So, when I got off work, I decided to stop by with the paper detailing the work that was done on the car, and asked to talk to Curtis, since he was the one I spoke to personally, and I knew he'd be able to help sort out this misunderstanding. I showed him the paper stating that an alignment was done and recalled with him the conversation we had where I asked them specifically not to do so. I requested that I be refunded the $70.00. Curtis immediately became defensive and told me that I had never said that I didn't want the alignment done. I went over the conversation with him again, and repeated the fact that it would be useless to get an alignment done before finishing work on the suspension anyway, but he began to argue more and said that he did not recall, that - that "You did not say that. I do not recall that." This is a small business in the middle of Woods Cross, UT that depends on good customer experience to stay in business. I myself came in the first place only because of a referral! You'd think that, if there was a mistake like this, you would work with a customer and find a solution that works for both of you. I didn't want anything for free, and I'm happy with the work they did on the ball joint. However, because of this experience with Curtis, I will not return to CJ's. He doesn't communicate very well with customers and likes to jerk you around. I am beyond sick of dealing with this sort of thing. To top it off, one of the things that "failed" the safety inspection was...wait for it...the thermostat. He said that the thermostat didn't heat up, and so you couldn't defrost the windows...I don't believe that a thermostat is something to fail a car on, but what's worse, when I drove the car away, I turned on the heat and it immediately warmed up and defrosted the windows. No problems whatsoever. I have a feeling that CJ Auto likes to tack on random recommendations to boost profit on safety inspections, because the last time I brought this car in, there was a fail on the rear wheel bearing. "Squeaky bearing", the paper said. I did nothing to it, and this time around, no mention of the squeaky bearing. Nice try, CJ's. If you are looking for an auto repair shop that will be honest with you and treat you fairly (not to mention treat you with respect!), I suggest looking elsewhere. read more

Do not take your car here I repeat do not. Besides the $700 that they charge me for unnecessary work on my vehicle and then didn't work that I asked them not to do and was charged for it was like putting a Band-Aid on and it would not heal ended up having to take my vehicle to the dealership to find out that the unnecessary work that they did caused more of a problem and had to reverse it they did not find a problem with my vehicle they kept trying to tell me it was something else and it was with in adequate Measure needless to say that when I took it to the dealer they found the exact problem with it within a day not a month very unimpressed I will tell everybody I know that this is not the place to take your car and as I have been telling people I have been getting some of the same comments that they do work on your vehicle without your knowledge and charge you for it read more

I did not receive a "freebie" for writing this review. I find it difficult to believe that I am the only person who has had the experience that I have. I took my car (older) in for the expressed intent of simply passing an emissions test and get the check engine light off. I am a Veteran working on a very low budget. Now I have my car back after over two months with new struts and an air conditioner that doesn't work after repeated attempts; a check engine light and won't start without being jumped. That is nearly $2500 dollars spent and got my vehicle back, all-be-it registered, but won't run. Make your own decision here. I have texted the owner to see if they intend to make this right. The jury is out to see...... read more

Cj Auto Repair is the best shop I've been to in such a long time. Took my car in because I knew it had some issues. Curtis gave my car the most complete inspection, he sent me a detailed text explaining everything, and a written report when I picked it up explaining the issues. I then decided I wasn't going to keep the car and began searching for another new - used car. I took each one that I was seriously looking at over to CJ's to have them inspected. They took the time to do a complete bumper to bumper inspection, and really helped me avoid some "lemons". I finally found the right car, with just a couple minor issues, with the help of the inspection, and CJ's written report I was able to go back and ask the dealership to fix them, which they did. I now have a great car, and the relief of knowing it's in great condition. You always hope you don't need to go to the repair shop, but I feel secure that if I do I've found a great one, and honest too! read more
