Took vehicle in for emissions inspection..failed..3 weeks later he got to me after plates expired....charged me 500 dollars to replace an oil sensor (way too much) still failed and said I needed to go the dealer since he couldn't figure out what was wrong. $500 broker and still not fixed...not happy read more

We've taken all of our cars/trucks in our household here for the last almost 4 years. Jimmy is trustworthy and reliable, and him and his team do great work. We won't go anywhere else! read more

We are a single income/one vehicle family. Jimmy has worked on our vehicle now multiple times. Three of those times our vehicle has had to be towed into his shop, which is a small area, yet he has always taken us on and made the room to accommodate us. He is quick on his diagnostics and quick on his repairs. He is also very reliable, true to his word, and affordable! I feel he prioritizes locals and I personally LOVE that. His diagnostics fee is $100, but if you choose to use him to do the repairs then that $100 is used toward the overall balance. All in all we've had a great experience with using Jimmy and will definitely be back in the future. read more

Absolutely amazing owner and staff honest auto shop Jimmy's Automotive is a5 best shop in O'Fallon Missouri

Jimmys is a very honest company that cares about their clients. Went in and he took care of me in an efficient manner. I will continue to use their services in the future. read more

When you are looking for a mechanic, Jimmy is exactly the kind you hope to find. He's worked on all our cars for the past 12 years. There have been a few times we checked out others, but we regretted it. Jimmy is fair, reliable, personable, and we trust him. read more

last week jimmy took my car into the shop when I got it back there was scratches all on the side of the vechile and he seemed off his normal self/intoxicated and today in his tow truck he just swerved into my lane like he was driving drunk or something read more

I would give a 0 if it was possible. I took my truck in for a simple evap sensor replace which should be a $100 or less fix. Jimmy told me he would have it fixed early the next week (I dropped it off on a Saturday), and said they were "very familiar with this issue ame it would be no problem." it took a month to get my truck back after me calling at least 2 times a week and they kept giving me the same excuse; "this one is confusing us." after 3 weeks I told him I was coming to get it so I could take it somewgere to get it fixed and magically they figured out what the issue was.........a $300 part! this being after he told me that it would be no more than $400 to fix the issue AND flush the transmission; which he never even did. I told him to just fix it because I needed my truck back. I went a few days later to pick it up, and i got my bill.......they charged me $500 for labor, $300 for the part he said I needed. and then another $77 for the part I took it in to have replaced that he said wasn't even the problem!!! On top of getting swindled out of over $900, they trashed my truck. it was filthy when I picked it up. there was grease and oil all over the steering wheel, inside door panel and all over the outside. also. there's a huge oil stain on the light gray visor and headliner. this place is extremely shady and the owner is a crook. I got horrible customer service, robbed out of hundreds of dollars. and a truck that was so nasty I spent hours and almost $50 worth of cleaning supplies just to clean up the mess they made DO NOT GO TO THIS "MECHANIC SHOP"!!!! read more

I had an appt at another automotive store for an emissions this morning. I get there and was told there was no inspector in to do it. I even had a confirmation email to show the correct location, date, time, etc. (I live a state away currently so getting this done while near my permanent residence while I was in town for a short amount of time was very important and appts are weeks out, which is why I made one). So after calling multiple other places, Jimmy's came up on my list to call. He said he could probably work me in if I dropped my vehicle off, and he did as promised! He was courteous, timely, and got me in on short notice. I'll definitely be using Jimmy's again! read more

Requested price for actuator replacement. Had car 6 days. Had to call him, because he didn't call us. Original estimate $1300 to $1700. Then called and said $1,700 to $2400. No communication Car was damaged whili in his possession. Front bumper banged up with white paint scratches on side. If he didn't want to do the work to start with, or couldn't do the work, he should of told us. read more

Jimmy is awesome! I scheduled for a safety/emissions and the turnover was so quick, got my car back in 4 hours. I will continue to support his family owned shop and you should too! What a nice guy. read more

We've taken all of our vehicles to Jimmy. He's reliable, honest, and fair. It's refreshing to know there are honest people in town that aren't just looking to make a buck for unnecessary work. Thank you, Jimmy and team! read more

I went in to see about an appt and the owner greeted me with his eyes closed and was standing(swaying back and forth) like he was on something. I ask him if he was ok or if I could get him something and he said no and it was a bad day, read more

I found jimmy's automotive for over 15 years they are honest and great to work with. mechanic you can trust . and jimmy is easy to work with. Will tell you upfront what what the cost and time it will take to fix it then let you make up your own mine with no pressure. There reasonable. read more

The owner is very fake. I've been here 3 times. The first time he put in a new radiator and I thought the service was great. That's why I called him back in January to fix my heater. I asked if he could squeeze me in and I'd be willing to wait he said yeah no problem, but when I got there he acted rude to me when I asked what the mechanic was doing to my truck bc I wanted to make sure I had the money to cover it. He said I PUSHED my way in and I was rude to him when all I was doing was asking about my truck bc I've had mechanics work on my truck before and charge me more money than I brought with me. I thought well maybe he was just having a bad day so the third time I went to him was for brakes, rotors, & a caliber and when I talked to him on the phone I told him I found a caliber for $50 and asked why he was charging me $100 for the caliber and if I could get the cheaper price for it, he literally told me that he remembered me and I was rude to him and gave him trouble the last times I came in. I said I think you have me confused with someone else bc I thought we got along fine and he said no no you were a problem before and I may not even work on your truck. This was after my truck sat in his parking lot for three days to get worked on. When I came in to pay the price he gave me, he did nothing but say how pretty I was over and over which pissed me off bc he was so rude to me and lied about me on the phone. I will never go back to him again. On top of that I don't even think they bled the brake line bc I have to press the pedal very hard to stop the truck and it still has a loud squeal to it which is very annoying. The mechanics are nice but the owner is a fake jerk who pretends to be nice until you ask questions about your truck or car. He also sways back and forth like he's on something and sways back and forth all 3 times I've been in there. He's either on something or has a medical condition. f you don't want a headache then don't go here read more

After driving past Jimmy's for many years I finally had the chance to see what all the buzz was about. I wasn't disapointed. They did the work quickly (they fit me in, which was great) and were great to deal with. Jimmy is a solid guy and after meeting him once I trust him a great deal. I'm gladly going to take my work to his shop in the future. Another bonus? Local shop, local owner, the money stays in our area. read more

My car had a purge valve replaced and a oil change done at Jimmy's. Both times I have had a great experience! The first time Steve one of Jimmy's employees gave me a ride home because I lived close and didn't have to sit there for hours. The second time I got to chat with the owner himself. Great guy, very family oriented. He knows his stuff about cars and told me what was going on with mine and how much it would cost to fix it. The price was fair and they do great honest work! You should go here for all your auto work for sure. They have me and my family as life time customers. I will never take my car to be worked on at a dealership again! read more

I had a great experience at Jimmy's. Very reasonable costs and incredibly friendly people who got the job done in a timely manner. Jimmy took the time to explain in detail what was necessary and gave me the best quote around. I highly recommend Jimmy's Automotive! read more

Jimmy bucks all stereotypes of mechanics - he is honest, straight shooting, and if I may say a wonderful person. I brought in my truck for an assessment, Jimmy (the owner and business' namesake), took excessive time to explain in detail all of the issues with my car. He told me what needed to be done and what could wait, there was no pressure, and he quoted prices which were reasonable. Talking to him over the phone and in person was such a pleasure - I never thought I would ever say this, but I wish that everyone were as amazing as this mechanic ! I bet you've never said that before! I am a woman and Jimmy was the same when I talked to him alone, and the same when I brought in my son who builds cars. I've had other mechanics sing different tunes in different situations. Jimmy owns a family business, and is quick to let you know that his business is only as good as his reputation. There are excellent reviews of his business for good reason. While I was there, all of the other customers coming and leaving were all smiles. I sure don't see that in any waiting room, automotive or otherwise! It was a blessing to have found Jimmy - I hope you will use him too! read more

We are new to the O'fallon Missouri area as of 1 year ago and we're needing to find a local mechanic that we could trust. Stopped in at Jimmy's to get my emissions and safety inspection done and found it a good place to do business. I will be back with whatever mechanical needs come up on my Toyota. Even though they were busy and fighting the freezing temperatures, Jimmy took time to visit with me and get to know me as a future customer. Thank you read more

Down to earth, genuine and honest with very reasonable pricing. I'm new customer who plans to return whenever my vehicles need attention.

I've had him work on my last 2 vehicles and have been MORE than satisfied with his work. I won't be taking my family's auto's any where else!! Plus, he's the nicest guy!!!! read more

Jimmy is honest and fair and will bend over backwards to get you what you need in a timely manner for a low price. I always take my car here because of the awesome service. read more

I am going to leave reviews everywhere and get the word out about this repair shop!! Every mechanic should be this good at their work and honest. Jimmy and his mechanics are amazing diagnosticians. I was having some issues with my 2011 Dodge Durango misfiring at idle when in gear. Of course I was very nervous about the cost of repair for something like this. Jimmy diagnosed the car with a cylinder head failure (Low compression in cylinders 4 and 6). He told me to check with Dodge to see if they would cover it and luckily they will (just under the wire for our warranty) He is extremely honest, he stood to make a lot of money replacing my cylinder head but was looking out for us. It means a lot to me and our family to have a mechanic who we can truly trust. I will never take my cars to a different mechanic again. Thank you to Jimmy and to the other mechanics in the shop! read more

My name is Bubby Moore, Co-Owner of Iautoglass. I had a customer that wanted me to replace a windshield at Jimmys while he was having some other work done. During my vusit I couldnt help but notice the high level of service and courtesy at this place of business. At the time i wasnt even one of his customers but I had to share this with everyone. I highly recommend Jimmys. read more

Had my car towed there over the weekend because it overheated and shut down. Jimmy got right on it and fixed the problem. He is a great guy and truly cares about his customers. I have never been disappointed. And his rates are reasonable which makes his shop even that much better! You can trust that he will do a great job with your car repairs. This is the only place I will take my car for repairs. Thanks Jimmy! read more

I am thrilled to have found Jimmy's Automotive! I didn't move far, just from Lake St. Louis, but being a single woman; I am, never the less, skeptical of taking my car into a mechanic. C'mon ladies, you know what I am talking about. Anyway, after a number of inquiries, I decided to try Jimmy's, and let me tell you....I will not go anywhere else. I have found a place with an amazing owner, superb employees, and honest to goodness workmanship. My schedule is wacky, but Jimmy worked with me, and has always gotten my car fixed and done right! It's a small place, but the customer service is top notch!! Look no further if you want quality and assuredness for your vehicle. read more

Jim is one of the best mechanics we have ever had work on our car! Honest and hard working! Highly recommend!

Took my van in Jimmie called next day with bad news van had bad motor not worth fixing he didn't charge a thing for the inspection on the van. Stand up guy. You need a car worked on this is the place. Keep him busy read more

This is an excellent business that really cares about great customer service. They are very fast, very efficient and very affordable. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Jimmy has been doing our car work for over 10 years--he was our mechanic even before he opened his own shop. We were super glad he has his own shop since we don't worry about who is working on our car. He always makes it right. He has worked on our Toyotas, Hondas, and Ford F150. He dropped a Jasper engine in my F150 last year, and did a ton of work just for the cost of the parts since he was already 'in there'. I can't count how many times he has suggested how I can save money or give me the option to delay the work--that means honesty to me. I had a bad water pump with the new engine build and he replaced it at ZERO charge--upgraded pump part to NAPA, free coolant, free labor. He stands behind his work. If you want to see how good the shop is, drive by there any day 24x7 and count the cars. Nobody else in town has an overflowing lot 365 days/year. I have never seen someone so popular with a new business right out of the gate and then continue like this--there was a definite need for high quality mechanical work in Ofallon that is HONEST. He could probably fill 5 bays if he had the room. read more

I just have to say Jimmy is the best mechanic I have found around, and is completely honest with you about whats wrong with you vehicle. he doesn't try to gouge you with inflated prices, or with extra work, which is hard to find. I have 3 vehicles and 2 of them are old so they need alot of love and care and they always get it at Jimmys. THANK YOU IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!!! read more

Jimmy has been working on my 2004 Jeep Liberty since I moved into the area a few years ago. I am a single woman, so I have issues with mechanics in the past who start conversations with " little lady" and such. Jimmy and everyone else in the shop ALWAYS treat me with kindness and respect. They never talk down to me like I couldn't possibly understand anything about my car. I don't know much about cars, but they ALWAYS break it down for me in such a way that I don't feel insulted. He is quick to get my car in and doesn't linger to charge me for more labor. My car is always done when he says it will be, and I have never had to return for a second shot at the same problem. When he fixes it, it's fixed! I get the sense that he treats everyone with the same respect and top notch customer service! That's why his shop is always busy. I've heard that the best and most trustworthy mechanics are the ones who are never just hanging around! read more

I first met Jimmy when a belt blew off my van near his shop and I rolled into his parking lot just as he was locking the doors to go home. He never mentioned that it was closing time, or that he may have a family to go home to. He raised the hood right there, observed the torn belt, unlocked the shop, called the part store and waited with me for the part. It took 20 minutes or so to install the belt (it was the main belt), and he chatted happily with me as he did the work. I left paying only the cost of the part, and $10 for Jimmy. When I thanked him for staying late and helping me, he replied that he was glad to do it and he hoped I had a better evening. That was a couple years ago. Since then he has helped me numerous times, advised me on a vehicle purchase, and discovered that another shop had put a faulty alternator on my van but had charged me for a brand new factory part. Jimmy's prices are very competitive (he's beat all other shops I've used), the work is excellent, and above all - Jimmy treats every one with kindness and respect. I highly recommend Jimmy's Automotive!! read more
