I was referred to the owner Jimmy by a couple mutual friends we have, telling me Jimmy and his team like working on the kind of car I have. When I encountered a service engine light in my car, Jimmy was quick to identify the issue and accommodated scheduling me in at a time that worked for me when the parts would come in. Jimmy and his team were quick to fixing what needed repairs when the parts came in, and my car has been very reliable since! Also, if Jimmy isn't working on your car himself, he's friendly, funny, and overall great to talk to from the waiting area while his team works on your car! I'll definitely be back again for any services or repairs as need or wanted that Jimmy and his team provides at J's Auto Garage!

Let's face it: whenever an unexpected car repair comes up, we all hold our breath wondering how…read moremuch our bank account is going to shrink. Most of us like to poke our heads under the hood and pretend we know what's going on, but we usually don't. The next logical step is a repair shop, and many people default to the dealership because they think they can trust them more. In my experience, that's a mistake--dealerships often touch ten things, fix one, and charge you for everything. Luckily, I found Rich and his team. I recently bought a newer car with all the bells and whistles, and I was braced for a huge bill. Rich was incredibly professional, polite, and straightforward. I was actually in shock; he takes the time to educate you on the repair rather than just grabbing your keys and telling you he'll text you later. The estimate was a pleasant surprise, and better yet, there were no hidden fees at the end. The amount he quoted was exactly what I paid. They were on time, efficient, and had me back on the road in no time. It is such a relief to find this kind of service these days. It's nice to know you don't have to pull out a platinum card for a simple repair or an oil change. All the 5-star reviews you see here are 100% true. One quick tip: the shop can be a little tricky to find the first time, but trust your GPS! It will get you there, even if the turn looks a bit hidden. You cannot go wrong with this team!

From the beginning, I was impressed by Rich's professionalism, knowledge and ability to explain both the issues and solutions in a clear way. He was almost half the cost of the dealer, as expected. It's refreshing to find in this industry. Both efficiency and quality was also there. He even lent me a car to get to work and took the time to walk and show me the parts they replaced at the end rather than rush me out after getting paid. If I ever need a mechanic again for my Audi this is where I will go. Highly recommend!

The owner, Tim, here is awesome - professional, straightforward, honest and tells you exactly what you need or don't need done. My ford has been in a couple more times now for an odd smell coming from the engine and basic maintenance. Always gets the work done and a very fair rate. He mentioned they work on European cars after I mentioned I had a Mini and since then now have an Audi... after the estimate at Audi for a brake job, I said thanks but no thanks to Audi and came here. At around half the price, Tim apologized for the expensive parts as apparently my Audi has the most expensive ones.. no problem, I will take that price any day. Tim also reviewed other items on the list of "things to do" from Audi and noted when things may actually need to be done or if I can wait longer. Super personable, love supporting our local shop and trust him with all of my vehicles!

I saw all the great reviews and I was referred here by a trusted friend when my car started having oil in the coolant reservoir. Tim told me his next availability was 2 weeks away so I waited and towed my car in the night before my appointment. I never received a call about my car so I called and checked in 2 days later and he tells me he didnt look at my car yet because he didnt write down my info and forgot about my appointment. He calls me later to tell me that theres definitely a bad headgasket and it was too expensive to make sense to repair and my car was basically toast. I paid around $300 and took my car home. I drove on the car a good 300 miles and it ran smoothly so I decided to get a second opinion. I looked up subaru specialty and took it to ackermans in berkeley and without even looking at it yet, he immediately said " you have a bad pcv valve" and it's a common issue because there wasn't evidence of the coolant in the oil reservoir so the leak was one directional. He replaced the valve for $280 and its been a year and half- it fixed the problem! I didnt want to write a bad review but after all this time Im so grateful I found Bruce at ackermans so if youre a subaru owner looking for help, reconsider this place. If I would've trusted his diagnosis I would've retired a car for a silly valve part...

I really appreciate how quickly and professionally they handled the problem. They are busy with their regular customers, so if you're planning to bring your car in, I recommend calling ahead and giving them a heads-up.

I don't think it was more than an hour and he called me back. He advised the problem was the key.

I know he took time from his schedule to look at it, but Kevin did not charge me for that time. Kevin, you have restored my faith in humanity. Thank you for your kindness.

They were able to identify the screw in my tire when another place, which I will leave unnamed, couldn't. They were also able to deal with my tire lock without the key (my family has two of the same type of cars and the key was with the other car). They worked around the lock at one visit, and broke it off (with my permission) on another in order to get me back in the road in a timely fashion. The time when they worked around the lock was in 2024, and I paid about $45. The time when they had to break the lock was a year later and I paid about $75. I especially appreciate their professionalism and ability to not talk down to female customers, which sadly a lot of auto shops still do, even in 2025. Definitely recommend!
