Double J Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Gardnerville, Nevada

Stopped here on a roadtrip when we thought we might be having engine trouble. The guys were super friendly and were able to help us right away. We felt much better continuing on after their assessment. Thank you! read more

Great auto shop for all services. I purchased front brake rotors and pads from an on-line vendor and quickly realized that the job on my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado was a bigger job than I could handle. Double J installed the brakes for a reasonable charge and did an excellent job. read more

I Personally Cannot Express my Gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Peakes for running such a wonderful Auto Repair Business. I was referred to this Business by a young mechanic and have had The Best Service Ever, both times I have gone. The Service I needed done this time, they immediately took my car in and took Care of everything I needed done to my car and without an Astronomical price. What's even more remarkable is; I am a single woman and I don't feel like I am being taken advantage of, In Fact I believe they are even more conscious of how they treat me. I have told All my Single women friends of the service I have gotten and Highly recommend this Auto Shop to them. THANK YOU ALL - Owners and Workers for being there for me. It's a Blessing to have you as a Business I can Trust. read more

My water pump went out and I live 70 miles from Double J, but it was recommended to me. I would have had to borrow a car to get home, but they replaced the pump right away and I was able to get home while it was still light! Everyone was so polite and helpful, the shop was very clean. I highly recommend this business!!! read more

Always friendly and quick. No BS from anyone who works here. No up selling, just good quality at a good price.

I got my brakes done here and some other work with an oil change. It was horrible. I had serious problems with the brakes after and the oil was still leaking. I called to tell them I was still having problems and they said they had fixed everything. I do not recommend this place. I ended up having to go to another place and spent $5,500 to get the same issues fixed. read more

I would highly recommend Double J Auto for any automotive needs... This business came through for me when I needed it the most! One night while at work I had noticed I was dripping radiator fluid, in a panic because this is my only car to get to work I started searching for mechanics, knowing that mechanics are very backed up and it's hard to get your car in and out in the same day. This was no problem for Double J Auto! They replace the radiator and thermostat and had to be back on the road and to work on time... Extremely knowledgeable staff, the kind of customer service I had forgotten about and it was nice to revisit that kind of service again. Even though it was an expensive repair, it was less painful seeing how fast they were able to turn it around knowing how busy shops are nowadays. I was referred to them by coworkers and they were spot on! They definitely earned a new customer today and they will definitely earn my business in the future. Having a reliable mechanic that you can trust is extremely hard to fine. You can go on YouTube and see nothing but mechanic scams all day long. But the folks at Double J Auto are the mechanics that you can trust and rely on. I'm sure they won't be able to always turn it around in the same day, but at least I will be in good hands and so will you!! read more

Only place in town to fix my Chevy 2500 truck on a Monday. . Cleaned out the exhaust filter and gave great advise to prevent this from happening. Highly recommend Double J. read more

Do not bring these people you business. My poor mother's car dies, and we tow it to them and ask to diagnose. 30 minutes later they tell us the timing belt snapped and the engine is shot. They tell her to cut her losses and tow it off there lot. They also quoted $8k for a rebuilt engine swap. For a 1990 Yota, $8K! We brought it to Hollars for a second opinion. New distributor and starter, $800 later and two days and my mother has her car back. These people completely blew my mother off, and made her feel like her beloved little Toyota was just a piece of junk. Please, do not give these people your business. ***Review update*** So after the reviews posted from my family, the owner did reach out to my mother, and apologized for their gross misdiagnosis, and even reimbursed my mom for the tows she came out of pocket for in result of it. Thank God we did get a second opinion, but that being said, thank you to the owner for reaching out to do what you could to make things right. read more

I have been bringing our 2015 Subaru Outback to Allen since we bought it brand new. He is all about customer service and making sure we keep coming back...which we do. He has done all the LOF & preventative maintenance for the past 130,000 miles. About 19 months ago , I had my front transaxles replaced as he had noticed they were worn out. About 2 weeks ago, one of the transaxles came off while pulling from the shoulder onto the pavement. I had it towed to his shop & he replaced the transaxle at no charge (neither for parts or labor ) even though I had no warranty. He knew this was a 'freak' thing for this to happen and he did me 'a solid' by not charging me. This was especially nice since I was already out $400 for the towing charge to his shop. He & his crew have consistently done excellent work and he has stood behind all his repairs. read more

I have brought all three of my daughters vehicles into Double "J" over a period of a year. Allen has been more than accommodating each and every visit. I'm a stickler for detail and I have a difficult time trusting car shops due to my past experiences. Being a retired police officer and now an investigator, my bullshit meter is fully functional and extremely prejudice with con-artist types in the auto repair shop industry. The first time I brought my oldest daughter's middle of the road, soccer mom van in with air intake issues. Allen took the time immediately to diagnose the issue and drive the vehicle around the block even though he was busy repairing a vehicle. Allen and I had never met prior to this visit. He was able to help me leave the shop with no costs to me. The second time Allen worked on one of my daughter's Subarus and was able to fix the vehicle and get it back on the road with a barter in trade. Who the heck does that these days? The third visit was this last Monday when my third daughter's Subaru took a dive with an over heating engine. Allen replaced the radiator and took the extra effort to clean out the engine with a product the previous owner had tried to stop a leak. This blockage caused a little more work than expected for Allen. After the vehicle was complete and I was paying for the bill, Allen took an additional amount of money off with no prompting at all. I never asked for the discount nor did I suggest one. The break was a very nice gesture that not many mechanics will do for the customer. The car is running good and appears to have been completely repaired. I thought Allen deserved the accolades and appreciation from this happy customer. Allen will be referred to everyone I know. In addition, Allen was very polite and customer service oriented. I believe he truly wants to see his customers be happy and safe. Thank you, Allen!! read more

Awesome service. These guys got me in quicker than anyone else could. Finished the work for a great price. Won't be going anywhere else from now on! read more

Great service. Care about the community. Would highly recommend. Thank you for the break job!!

Don't go here. Very poor service and disrespectful. If you're a woman, you'll automatically feel like they are trying to scam you. Usually smaller shops are more inclined to give better and honest service, however, I felt that this place and the people working there don't care about anything they do. They'll take your money and leave you with a still broken car or poorly put together car. read more

The worst auto shop to go to. Towed our Toyota there to get it's checked after it broke down. They told us that the timing belt broke and the water pump was done. They quoted 8k to fix it. Maybe if it was a brand new BMW needing an engine that needed to be swapped. But it was a 90's Toyota. We took it to Hollars automative and they said the timing belt and water pump were FINE! Hollars quoted us 800 for a life time warranty on a new starter and distributors. Screw Double J. Don't go here. Either they hired some jackass or they are all just incompetent, lazy "mechanics". Either way, you will waste money here. Go to Hollars automative. Especially if our have a 4X4 Toyota. read more

My hubby and I have come here 4-5 times...NEVER for a repeated problem. They have done their job correctly the first time every time we've come here. We have 2 vehicles that are 10+ years old so we are starting to have some issues with them. We found this shop via yelp and have had nothing but insanely wonderful service from them. Their pricing is on point, but with the honesty and welcoming customer service we get here, I could almost care less how much they charge. I can whole heartedly say that this shop will not rip you off, if anything you will walk away spending less than expected. Trust me, for the sake of your car...and wallet, check this place out! read more

Double J Auto - I went out and bought them a card to show my appreciation. Their auto services are unsurpassed and their customer service is A++ - Auto Repair Near Me - Gardnerville, Nevada

Allen is friendly, professional, and honest. He takes the time to explain every option, and did not charge a diagnostic fee. The shop is clean. I highly recommend his business and their other garage Double A in Yerington is equally as reputable as this one. read more

A mouse crawled into my car's AC and the blower motor ended his life. It also ended the blower motor's life. I suspected a mouse straight off. Allen and his crew verified this with a photo of a mouse carcass and a whole lot of live maggots! So disgusting! They got my car all fixed including cleaning out the maggots and addressing the tremendous smell. My car happens to have a difficult to reach blower motor. My husband and I tried to get to it ourselves. I am sure it took way longer to repair than the hours quoted. This was an above and beyond job and I so appreciate Allen and his team. read more

I got totally ripped off by this company. Went in for my serpentine belt. $1300 later, "I should be running good for a long time". I am 74 years old. How much longer do I really have?? Double J replaced my battery because it was 4 years old ?!? No phone call asking me if it was ok. I have never heard such a thing. Wonder if they even located the oil leak that I had under the right front? Probably not. The paperwork does not mention it at all. At this point, do I really care? Heck no!! I will NEVER go back to Double J. Nor will I recommend them to anyone. What a rip off!! Hope you can sleep well Double J, taking advantage of an elderly lady. Shame on you!! read more

This review is from my mother Galit, who went in today after having an issue of getting her truck to start. Everyone in the shop was personable and friendly. However, today Allen went above and beyond, he was upfront about his prices and was very knowledgable about his craft. She had nothing but amazing things to say about these guys so I'm going to leave a review here and on fb. If you want professional service, great prices and technicians who really know their stuff, come to Double J Auto!!! read more

Took my Charger to get new tires on it and an oil change. Allen was real nice. Work was done promptly. Price was great. Work was not good. After they were done I looked at the tires and rims and noticed that they had A LOT of black marks all over them. I thought well their prices are good so what, I have to scrub some black marks off them. Well when I cleaned them they were all scratched up and chipped. All four rims at 300+ each. I contacted Allen and he took no responsibility for them said there is no way they could have done it. Well the tires that were on it were the original tires so the rims were never touched by any mechanics except to clean and polish. They were prestine. So now I'm forced to file an Insurance claim and pay my deductible which I will try to get from the Double J jackasses. Guess that's why they call it Double J. The J stands for Jackass. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from them. Unless you don't care about QUALITY WORK and INTEGRITY. read more

Literally don't trust anyone else with our cars, we live in carson and still go out of our way to take our cars here. Great customer service and love all the things they do for the community! read more

I highly recommend anyone looking for an honest reliable mechanic has to look no further. Allen and his crew have been amazing. Fair honest and stand by there word. We have had them do two lengthy repairs and have been extremely satisfied with the work. Allen goes the extra mile for his customers and it shows. No matter what my cars issue is I will go straight to Double J for their expertise. Thank you Double J Debbie B read more

Allen is the best. He is honest and very knowledgeable when it comes to cars. He seems to be the type of person that wants to help no matter what. Recently I had a hug problem with Gilson Auto Body destroying my engine and taking no responsibility for their mistake, Allen tore my car apart and took the time to find out what Gilson had done and how to fix the problem. Then he went to court with me and helped me win my case. I would recommend this shop for all your auto needs. read more

I have been going to Double J since Allen has been the owner. You can not ask for a more Honest and Fair Business Owner. He Honors all Veterans with free services throughout the year. I recommend Double J always. 4/27/17 Larry read more

Allen the owner is a no nonsense kind of guy. He is honest and trustworthy. I will only take my cars to him! He doesn't do unnecessary repairs, he does make recommendations based on what he sees but he leaves it up to you to make the decision of what you want done. No overselling no overpricing. He will go out of his way to make sure your car is safe and running good. I say this because we took one of our cars to him because the rear brakes sounded horrible. After getting a quote from Les Schwab for over $750.00, he found that the rear brakes just needed cleaning and adjusting. Total tab was $30.00. Enough said! read more

I took my Subaru in for a timing belt replacement and am completely satisfied with not only the work but the explanation of the work. Allen and his crew went through my car to make sure all was well. When he told me about my transmission fluid, I looked at my notes and yes I was way over due for that service. Thank goodness he brought that to my attention. My car runs great now and the staff is very kind and patient and you can't beat the price. My new car place. read more

Honest helpful everything else you look for in a mechanic check these guys out you won't be let down and the prices are well you can't beat them read more

Allen was awesome...We had trouble overheating on the road trip Had the car towed in, he gave it a long look over. Toped off fluids and test drove the car for 15 miles to make sure we were good to go! Very honest and super great guy! We were very thankful to have found them!!!! read more

Took our car in for a routine type maintenance servicing...wants to put a new engine in...yeah, oh sure, go right ahead....NOT!!! Allen is full of a lot of BS talk and hot air.....took the car around the cornerto check the oil/coolant, all is OK...nothing bad there....OMG....I need a new engine like hole in my head.....Double J does stand for what the other guy called them....BEWARE and I would never go near their place.....YUK!!!!! read more

Passing through from southern California I ran into truck problems. I took it to Double J and they had me fixed up in minutes. They were honest as the day is long and I would bring my truck there anytime. Also, they have a contribution jar on the counter for their kids football team. Every time I pass through, you guys can count on me to contribute to the jar. Thanks again for the great service. read more

The dealership where I was getting my Corolla serviced told me that I needed a head gasket repair and a new water pump which was going to cost me around $2,500. I called and talked to Allen about it because I don't have that many miles on the car by Toyota standards and he said to bring it in. Turns out there is nothing wrong with my car and the oil had most likely come from a rushed oil change. He saved me a ton of money and didn't even charge me for looking at the car. I will definitely be bringing my car to Double J from now on. read more

Honest, fast, reasonable, friendly service. After my first visit, I'll be a customer as long as I'm in the neighborhood.

Honest helpful and they get the job done thank you for getting my vehicle back road worthy

Got some tires done at Double J. He (in his words) "owed" me a free oil change because of a concern I had with their work over the summer--which was probably more a simple oversight. Even though he took care of the problem and I told him it wasn't needed--he remembered all these months that he still "owed" us one. Had him look at some crazy quotes that Carson Honda gave us in September--such as a dead rodent that would cost a few benji's to remove. Nice try. Double J confirmed there was no dead rodent. He also saved us 300 over the summer on a headlight that Washington and Carson Honda wanted to charge 300 for after not fixing it the first time. I'm not mechanic, but I'm also not idiot. I knew it was a wiring issue, they wanted to get a whole new harness. He fixed it for free--tightened a wire--boom. LAST, BTW, he also fixed a super annoying sound in my aunt's car this past summer before she passed. She had been trying to get it fixed for 3 years and paid a bunch of wasted money to Tires Plus for nothing. I tried getting her to rid of the car and stop putting money in it, but she insisted to take it to my mechanic because I liked them so much--just one more thing to be grateful for at Double J. read more
