Amazing!!! I was really in a bind and JC-Towing, without…read morehesitation, stepped up to the plate, coming to my rescue! I had a car that was on a lease when I moved from San Diego to Alaska, ya that's another story. I was in a bind because my lease was up and I wanted to return my car to the dealer. I had to send it via the ferry system as I now live on an island. I decided to send my car to Bellingham, made the most sense. However the dealer said he would not pick up my car from the ferry, said he didn't have the staff. I attempted to contact the transport service used by dealers to get cars to their dealership, but they were not at all helpful, wouldn't return phone calls etc. I was looking at having to take 4-5 days off of work to accompany my car on the ferry just to drive it a few miles to the dealer and fly home, or fly in meet the car drive it there and fly back, less days off of work but much more expensive. I was really stuck. Then I thought maybe a Tow-truck company would be willing to entertain the idea, so I hit my Yelp. I looked through the tow companies but wasn't getting a good vibe on any of them. I saw JC-Towing with one positive review. We all know what that usually means. Someone just opened up a new place and has a buddy with Yelp write a review, something told me this was not the case here, so I called, and Thank God I did. I spoke to JC and felt comfortable. By the time our conversation was over I was confident this was the right choice. We coordinated everything over the phone and my car was delivered, without any problem, on time, as promised. I am so Thankful that I found JC`s! This man is extremely reliable, very honest and trustworthy. I cannot thank him enough for relieving the stress of trying to make this happen, and doing it with a can do/no problem attitude. ***I would highly recommend his services to anyone and everyone I know, to include all my fellow Yelpers****

I can't say enough good things about Armstrong Family Autocare without sounding like a paid…read morepromoter or something, but believe me, this was an OUTSTANDING car repair experience!! Be honest: how many mechanics have you dealt with who actually aim to reduce the cost of the service?! Alex did!! My old '99 Voyager was acting wonky; it would start but then some components would work while others wouldn't.. one day the windows operated, but the wipers or heater fan wouldn't; the next day NONE of them worked; the next day they all worked fine.. and so on and so on Got a brand new top-of-the-line Napa battery.. didn't help .. so then I had the alternator tested by 3 different places who all said it had a bad diode, so I reached out to a few companies here, got quotes, and Armstrong's was the most reasonable price (plus nearby my place) so I brought the Voyager in, crossing my fingers that some unknown -expensive- additional work wouldn't be urged on me, as I've frequently experienced with other repairs Long story short, Alex told me it actually wasn't the alternator being bad, it was the ignition switch, and I gotta be honest and say I was hugely skeptical because the other companies had advised me to get a new alternator, why would they recommend it if it wasn't the problem? ...but I decided to trust Alex, and the repair cost was literally HALF the cost of replacing the alternator (which was already a very reasonable price!) But this morning was the iron test: would everything work like it did when I picked up my vehicle? IT SURE DID --the wipers, the windows, the heater fan ALL WORKED AT THE SAME TIME!! That hasn't happened in forever! LOL This review is getting long but I wanted to share the deets because frankly, given the symptoms, the tests AND my belief in the test results... Alex could have very easily done the cheaper ignition repair but said nothing and charged for the more expensive alternator replacement that I was asking for -and I wouldn't have known the difference and would've just been happy to have things working- but he was honest and upfront and didn't take advantage of my ignorance.. like other shops around here have done or tried to do to me in the past How awesome is THAT?! So believe me when I say that everyone reading this who might be searching for a mechanic they can trust as much as they'd trust a friend to do the work (if they had the skills) .....look no further This is a good person who does good work! ~~listen to Grandma, now~~

After one of those coils failed a year later, they refused to honor the warranty because I had not brought the car back to them every 5000 miles for a "complimentary inspection". I paid nearly another $1k (parts and labor) to have the faulty coil replaced. Recently, the other two coils failed as well, and I made the choice to have another mechanic replace them with a set of Aftermarket coils that are well-known in the Smart community. After my prior experience trying to get them to stand up for failure-prone parts, I'm not even arguing my case with them. I don't expect to see any money back from this, but hopefully this review will stand on its own.

I towed my car to Rod's back in June 2025. I had a leaking rear drum on my 03 PT cruiser. I chose…read morethis shop because someone I knew highly recommended it. I thought their estimate was high, but I was assured that they would stand behind their work. The estimate for replacing the brakes calipers and the front and drums in the back were just shy of $3000. A few days later, I got my PT back and within a few short days, I was returning it as there was a scraping sound on the passenger side brakes. I called the shop and they told me to bring it in, I did and they told me it was because the wrong clips were used on the brakes. I took it home and within a couple of days I was getting the same sound out of the passenger side... Here I go again back she went, same diagnosis so I asked Jeffrey why didn't your mechanic check all of my brakes then why would he only take care of one side why wouldn't you preventatively have all the brakes? It was a deer in the headlights look. For the third time I was leaving the shop hoping it was completed. Nope, this time I started to smell hot metal. I wondered what the heck. I went through the paperwork and found that the calipers they had installed were in fact used/repurposed?! WTH!!! I called the shop and told them what I was smelling, I also told them that I read in my paperwork that these were used. I asked how I ended up with used parts considering I paid such a premium for my brakes to be redone. I was never asked if it was OK to put used parts on my car! This was done without my permission/authorization. Now I'm returning for my fourth trip to the shop for the same original work. This time I get a call within 45 minutes, asking me to explain to his mechanic as I'm on speakerphone, the sounds, smells or issues that I have. Shortly after I get a text message with a link stating that this issue has nothing to do with my brakes instead, they're blaming it on a spot of oil under my hood. I hadn't had my oil changed recently, and I didn't have that smell before it went in the shop, nor the first two times I picked it up. There was also a report attached that showed pictures of this oil drop under the hood and somewhere else. They also stated that my battery was barely turning over my starter, and he observed noise while driving it. Not one reason or photo showing that the brakes were good, that they even checked them or anything like that. Instead, it was just blaming it on something else. I was not a happy camper. I immediately went to pick up my car. When I arrived, Jeffrey said I can see you're upset. Would you like to take a ride with my mechanic. I stated why would I want to take a ride with your mechanic when he can't hear the first two things that were wrong. Now I'm here on my fourth trip, a second trip for the day and you're suggesting I go for a drive? There was no apology, even when I asked where the photos that prove that even looked at the brakes, since it take photos of everything. He said oh he took the wheels off. I guess he just didn't think to take a picture. ‍ A couple of weeks ago, I got a text message saying there was some other issues that I should deal with on the car and they were a little slow so I should call them in arranged to have more work done. Really!!!!! You haven't fixed the $3000 job you did, but you'd like me to bring it in so I can pay you more money for a job not done properly.. I think not. don't waste your time or money. Look for another alternative! I've had luck at cornerstone in Custer and Dr John's in Bellingham
