I can not say enough positive things about JB Auto of Weed CA. The mechanic is Ed. Ed, worked with me via phone as I live in Mississippi. My elderly parents AC in their pickup truck completely failed during a recent heatwave. Naturally, they were concerned and stressed about the repair process. As we are moving them here in 3 weeks. My daughter is driving that truck, my father, and 2 large dogs to MS. My mom and I will be in a rental following. Ed knew this information and treated us like family. From the moment they arrived, the service was exceptional. Ed took the time to speak with them directly, patiently explaining the completed AC repair without using overwhelming jargon. He showed a level of compassion that is truly rare in any industry. He prioritized their repair to get them back on the road safely and comfortably as soon as possible. The work was done flawlessly, at a fair price, and with outstanding communication throughout the process. My parents are thrilled to have their AC working again, but even more so, they are grateful for the kindness they received. He should be your forever mechanic, and I will be recommending Ed at JB Auto to everyone. Thank you for your honest, expert, and compassionate service. He is even going to assist my mom in selling my father's motorcycle! Who does that? A true hero, that's who! ~ Karrie Davis Long Beach Mississippi read more

The truck I was traveling stopped working on the 97. Pretty certain it was the alternator. Had it towed after they closed walked up there when they opened within an hour we had the diagnosis and a plan. Reasonable price and really made us feel confident in their recommendations read more

Broke down on the highway outside of Weed with my Ford F150 and Travel Trailer. Very stressful situation. Picked JB out off of Yelp because of the reviews so I had my truck towed there and thought I'd figure out what to do with my trailer after. AAA won't do trailers by the way. I was a wreck as a breakdown on my truck directly affects my ability to survive as I essentially live in it and my trailer. Got to JB and spoke to the owner. Offered to let me tow my trailer to the lot. Gave fantastic advice on who to call for that. Stayed overnight comfortable and safe in the lot for no fee, JB got to the truck first thing in the morning despite being overburdened with work. He test drove it and explained in detail what I had been doing wrong in terms of the engine oil and frequency of changes and checks. All he had to do was fill it back up with oil and gave me the advice to change it again after reaching my destination. I did that and fondly remembered him and his son as authentic, fair-minded, kind and HARD WORKING mechanics. I unhesitatingly recommend JB. These are folks you want as friends as well as business people. read more

I was having trouble with my ac on my tacoma. I pulled in first thing in the morning to find out what the problem. They went right to work and discovered what it was. Super nice people. I highly recommend their work and extremely fair prices. read more

My Husband and I decided to take a road trip to relax. However our time to relax was interrupted with worry when we suddenly heard a noise coming from the front passenger tire. God is good; as soon as we exited JB automotive was just around the corner. There we met Gordon and Kenny who accommodated our concerns and took time to diagnose the problem with our van. Despite their busy day, they managed to find the cause of the noise and informed us of the part we needed. What we appreciated the most was their honesty, sincerity, and courtesy. Both gentlemen are well mannered . They spent almost an hour on our vehicle. I have never dealt with anyone who said after that amount of time and work, "we won't charge you." We insisted that we compensate them for their time. They made us feel at ease and told us we can repair our van when we get back home. We highly recommend JB Automotive! read more

My husband and I are traveling and the check engine light came on. We are towing a 5th wheel trailer and do not want truck problems. We did not have an appt with JB Automotive, but arrived when they opened. A father and son own it. They were helpful and willing to test for codes. End result we don't need an immediate repair and can continue on our trip. We highly recommend JB Automotive. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. read more

These guys are really good mechanics and treated me very well. I was having overheating issues and they figured out that my gauge was wonky. I feel like they really tried to figure out the issue and they saved me a lot of money! If you're having issues with your car in the area, I recommend taking it here! read more

My Parents RV broke down at a rest area in Weed, Ca. JB auto was the first shop I found that had a mobile service. He was prompt and came out quickly. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and accurately. He told us he wasn't able to make the repair and we needed to go to a shop, but he didn't stop there, he recommended a shop and stood by until we were able to make contact and confirmation that we would be seen for a repair. He was not affiliated with the shop he suggested but was honest enough to make sure we got resolution to our problem. I am thankful our paths crossed! read more

My husband dealt with Willie. I met him when I dropped off our truck. I am so happy with the honest customer service! These guys are 5 star!! read more

It was a cold, windy, rainy night... I was driving up alone on the 5 having a merry ole time. Blasting my music, singing to myself....I stop at a rest stop, and when i returned my car didn't start!!! I recently got a new battery (thinking it fixed my starter problems, since the problem was intermittent) but no, of course my starter is having issues when I'm alone in the middle of nowhere. I stop to feed some stray cats in the parking lot, take a deep breath, and my car starts on the 3rd try. **whew** I don't drink any more water to ensure no stops, and I get to Weed safely... The next morning I call JB and they say to bring it on by. A man named Willy helped me, and ran the test on the starter. I did need a new one. They ordered the part, it came in the same day, and by 3pm I had a working starter again! It was around $300 for a starter which is about average for the parts/labor on my toyota. There check engine light test only costs $55, which is much cheaper then the city prices this gal is used too. A very trusted small shop, hopefully I won't need to go here again the next time I visit my friend in weed! read more

My husband and I were driving from Ashland to Reno and on I5, near Weed, we discovered a major oil leak on our Highlander. We found JB Automotive on Yelp and pulled in right around closing time. Robert was there and put our car on the lift and found a mess of oil all over the under carriage and right front wheel. He and Michael worked on the car for awhile, finding that we needed some parts. As it was after hours, he apologetically said he couldn't get us on the road that day but he would call around the next morning for the parts he needed and would get us on the road as soon as possible the next day. True to his word he had the car ready to go the next day, working hard to solve the usual problems with such a repair. Everyone at JB Automotive was as friendly as can be and did excellent work on our car. We highly recommend this business! read more

My car broke down on I-5 and managed to coast it off the freeway. After attempting to get my car started I walked into town found JB's next to Napa Auto parts store and stopped to ask how much it would cost to install a serpentine belt on my Saab. Willie the owner gave me a price so I had my car towed here upon getting it there he saw that the belt tensioner was gone too gave me a quote and ordered the part and my car was ready the next day. They were professional and honest, best of all they did a great job in my car. read more

My wife was driving north on I-5 late in the day on a Friday when she heard a pop from under the hood and lost a good deal of power. She called me, made it into Weed and after some Yelp research from my desk, I sent her on to JB Automotive after reading their good reviews. The mechanic opened the hood, diagnosed that the hose had popped off the turbo, and fixed it quickly for $100.91. Honest and friendly, I highly recommend Willie at JB Automotive!! read more

I was driving from Bend to the CA coast when my dashboard warning indicator light went on, not wanting to take a chance getting stuck on 5 before Redding i stopped in to JB Automotive Repair in Weed, late in the day, right before Thanksgiving. The owner ran a code check, and called a transmission guy in Shasta City... This is just another way to thank you for your kindness, it took the anxiety way down for a woman traveling alone, on long stretches stretches along 5. read more

JB Auto are the best mechanics I've ever encountered. Im 61, and have had many mechanics. They are fair and honest! AND mostly, they are just so friendly and have a genuine concern. How rare these days. I highly recommend. Examples, I have a Honda that the tranny is going on. They diagnosed the problem and didn't even charge me a penny. Unbelievable. Today, I got my A/C checked out. They run it through a leak test and then if no leaks they charge it with freon. All that and my ac is up and running great!. 150 bucks. Totally fair! Thanks Again JB! You rock! read more

Always professional and fast. Honest and dependable. Granddaughter was told by large national tire chain her rack and pinion steering was bad and not to drive it until she paid them over $500 to fix. Bill looked at it and fixed some minor thing for less than $200. Great place!!!!! read more

The "service engine soon" light came on around grass lake. I had my 91 year old aunt with me and it was hot so I didnt want to take any chances... Stopped in here to see if they had time to read the code. They brought us right in and found out the problem was lack of basic maintenance on my part (in dire need of new plugs and wires). They didnt have the parts on hand and it was getting late so we rolled on with no further problems. Of course I was greatly relieved. They really went out of their way to take care of us, service one rarely sees anymore. I wish they were closer to home but nice to know they are there when Im driving through in one of our aging cars. Truly exceptional! read more

Professionally these guys are the best integrity they know what it means took him 5 seconds to tell me what's wrong my vehicle and had me at the door on the road in an hour I would go out of my way to do business with them read more

We were so impressed by JB Automotive. Being new to town, we didn't know who to trust when we had a radiator coolant leak develop. A friend from our new church recommended JB, and I'm so glad she did! Super friendly, kind, and professional - the repair was done quickly and successfully, and they even checked on another concern I had before I came back to pick it up. And best of all, it didn't cost an arm & a leg like we had feared! We will definitely be using them as our regular mechanic for things my husband can handle on his own! read more

My daughter's car overheated late in the afternoon while driving from Portland to Sacramento...she was able to limp her car into Weed and went to JB auto repair. If your car ever breaks down or needs service while you're traveling on the 5 near Weed, this is where you want to go! They were awesome, called around, ordered a new radiator, helped get my daughter safely to a motel for the night. The car was ready promptly the next morning, they picked her up from the motel and she was on her way. The job was done well and the price was honest and fair. read more

I am usually a easy going person, but when I took my auto to JBs repair all that went out the window. They talk a good game, but that is it. They know the basics but anything more complicated than a oil change is beyond their expertise. What should have taken 3 days tops took 3 months and to top it off, it still wasn,t fixed. I was told at the intial meeting with "Willy" they were experts. Experts at Bulls*%t. Avoid them at all costs. Keep your vehicle away from them. It will be destroyed. I can not say it enough, the stress, time, and issues I went through I would not wish on anybody except the employee's and owners of JB auto repair!!!!!!! read more

Twenty miles out from Weed, CA, we heard a loud metal scraping sound in our right wheel. Sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. We had driven through a road construction site where they were resurfacing the road and guessed the problem started there. Nervously drove back to weed around 3pm and saw JB Automotive right away. He came right out and took a listen. His calm demeanor put us at ease. He reassured us that we just had rocks stuck in the wheel and that he'd get them out. Brought our car right in and propped it up. Turns out this is not uncommon but the rocks we had were especially hard and especially stuck because of the special material used to resurface roads. He spent almost an hour trying to get the stubborn rocks out. Even took the time to show us where they were lodged and shared them with us when he finally got them out. The cost? a 12-pack of soda from the grocery store across the street. AND, the soda was on sale!!! Our lucky day. We slipped a $20 bill to his partner and asked him to pass it on after we left. What a great small-town experience to add to our 2-week road trip. There are still good, kind and honest people in the world and one of them lives in Weed, CA. read more
