You'll want to save this number if you are near San Angelo and need car repairs or maintenance. I've made a ton of calls and seen several mechanics in the area, and all were extremely disappointing. Prices are drastically different, and customer service is condescending and often opportunistic with silly "inspection fees." Then there are the complete rip-offs that lack diagnostic abilities and should not be in business. I spoke with Jesse, who is honest, knows his business well, and doesn't need to resort to price gouging or surprise inspection fees. They repaired the car quickly and consulted with me before costing me a penny. Jesse gave me reasonable options and stood by his quote. He gave me an excellent detailed quote for repairs I will also need in the future. I'll never take my car to any other shop in West Texas. read more

Quick response. Pricing was good and of course i compared prices before committing to JB. Pricing came out the same. He came to my location, great communication and was PUNCTUAL. Very respectful gentleman. He was willing to take cash, card or whatever payable option there was & did not change the rate upon arrival or completion Im so happy to have a new windshield!!!! read more

I admit, these people are very responsive. I didn't answer any other questions about this because I've never use them but they are so nice when you talk to them on the phone. I would probably give them a higher review. But I've never been to this establishment four, but they were very informative on the phone so their phone kudos gets four stars. I would highly recommend giving them a try. read more

My brake was grinding, so I knew I needed to take it in ASAP. A friend recommended JB Automotive and they were wonderful. I took it in at 9 am and it was finished by 2 pm. They even gave me a ride to work and picked me back up. They were so nice and professional. Absolutely will use them again! read more

J.B. Automotive - Front of the business off of the access road. - Auto Repair Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

My brakes were grinding and finding the pads was nearly impossible. The ram dealer in San Angelo told me I needed to wait three days for an appointment and would charge me an arm and a leg. I searched and found JB automotive and figured I'd give them a shot. (I typically get all work done at dealerships) man. Am I glad I went to JB. They were incredibly helpful and straightforward. They didn't try and upsell and even helped me find the best price on parts. From now on any services I need in San Angelo are going their way. I gave them 5 stars because it wouldn't let me give 6. I HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Do NOT take your vehicle here!! They may be able to do things like replacing a windshield wiper, or air up a tire properly, but if it's anything more complicated than that, I would stay far away. We took our teen's car in Nov '23 to finally get a head gasket fixed that we had put off for about a year, because the owner told us it would be fine for the time being, as long as we didn't mind oil dripping in our driveway. The car was fine, we just made sure there was always oil in it, but there wasn't more than just a drip. Our daughter is going off to college in Aug, so we figured it was time to go ahead and get it done. We get the car back and he says it will drip oil for 2-3 weeks as it burns off what had already come out and gotten on the motor. After a month, it was STILL dripping, so we take it back. He says they missed something and would get it fixed, no charge. Get it back again, STILL leaking oil. Try driving it for a couple of weeks and notice that the leak has actually gotten worse than when we took it in to begin with, at one point all the oil had leaked out without us realizing and put the car in to engine save mode, where it wouldn't go higher than 20 mph. Took it back again. Said they had it all sealed up. Got it back STILL leaking oil. Called again and they said to bring it back. 4th time's the charm right? Nope. After keeping it over a week, so they could "really figure out the problem", we had to call to find out what was going on with it because we hadn't heard anything. They say, oh it's done and they are pretty certain they got it all. They had driven it around pretty hard and nothing was leaking. So we go pick it up and as soon as we are in the driveway, you can see smoke coming from under the hood and low and behold, oil dripping all over underneath. That was it, we decided to finally let someone else look at it and guess what, the head gasket is cracked. So now we will be paying thousands of dollars to fix what this mechanic was SUPPOSED to fix in the first place, and whatever other mess they made of it. New mechanic said there was just silicone everywhere, and nothing actually fixed. Do not trust these people with your vehicles, and if you do, don't say I didn't warn you! read more

My BMW had a major drive train failure in a rare and hard to source part. (front differential for an AWD car that's nearly 20 years old.) The first two shops who looked at it didn't even know what was wrong. JB Automotive not only found the problem, they were very patient as I tracked down the right part and had to order it from out of state. Their guys were courteous and professional and knowledgeable. The owner is a great guy, who understood my situation and gave me a fair price to fix it. On the day it was fixed, I had to drive the car several hundred miles...and their repair held and has continued to hold in the month since then. I couldn't be happier with this shop. They do good work. I trusted them with my car, and that trust paid off. read more

Have been a customer for 25 years and 4 cars. A better auto repair shop or a more honest man you won't find. Highly recommend.

I live a 3-hour drive from town, but have brought my cars in for repairs when visiting relatives here. The owner is honest, a straight shooter, and doesn't look to run up the repair costs! Had a vehicle problem my dealer hadn't been able to fix, despite taking two shots at it, so I brought it in for Jess to repair. In less than one-half hour, his senior mechanic determined the problem and within an hour had it ready to roll! Definitely recommend JB Automotive for all your auto repair needs!! read more

Had to have my bmw serviced while I was in town recently and this place came highly recommended. Their service went above and beyond. Trustworthy and reliable. Location is excellent too as it's just off the frontage road....you can't miss it! read more

Great business, relaible mechanics that honest. Appreciate the work and advise on on our car.

Jess Buck has a great knowledge of cars and business. He knows that you can't rip people off and gain loyalty, so he charges a reasonable rate for fabulous service. Heck, a few years back he didn't even bother to charge for something that was just too simple for his guys to fix. That's the kind of business behavior that gets you lifetime customers. Highly recommended! read more

Have been going to JBz for years great guy great business and fair prices. He has always done me right.

I always dread finding a new mechanic (who gave my last mechanic permission to retire??) - so many see a woman and think dollar signs. JB Automotive was honest, didn't try to oversell anything, and actually delivered the repairs at the estimate he quoted. It took a few days to get an appointment (totally understandable), but once I dropped the car off, it was fixed quickly. They offered me a ride to and from work, which was helpful. I didn't take advantage of it this time, but they have a sign in their office saying they offer a 3% discount if you pay cash vs. credit card. I mean, I hope I don't need them again for a while, but if I do have car trouble, I'll definitely come back. read more
