My go to for auto repairs! Small shop, but they work wonders. First discovered them Thru yelp and haven't disappointed yet. Had a 2017 Nissan Armada that started having electrical problems (throttle would cut out and abs light would flash, turn signals also failed to work) and they were able to diagnose the issue (trailer brake was shorting out system) and fixed it pronto! More recently, I bought a 2006 gmc sierra Denali and had the rear rotors and pads replaced, along with the rear left caliper, a full brake flush, and both front sway bar links and bushings replaced for a grand total of roughly $1200! Very reasonable pricing (not to mention a superb job) and will keep coming back! Jay is a skilled technician and would trust him working with my truck in the future. Appreciated that he would call me if there was something else that showed up outside of what I brought it in for and/or if there was going to be any changes in pricing to check if I was okay with it. read more

Check out JST Auto Care if you're looking for a quick and painless experience for your car needs! I was looking for a new mechanic, and am so glad Howie from JST responded to my request for a quote through Yelp. Their prices were very reasonable, and similar to the quotes I received from other mechanics. The difference was that JST was a lot more responsive, and I could drop by car off right away. Pay attention to your GPS since you can't really see their signage from the road. They are located in a semi-residential area, past an auto body shop. There is a small driveway that you can drive down, or you can park on the street and check in first. I took the option to leave my car there without a confirmed return date, since you can get an additional discount that way. This was perfect since I didn't need my car back immediately. Fast forward a couple of weeks and my car was ready to go. Howie was very communicative during the process, and answered all the questions that I had throughout. I decided to pay using cashier's check since there is a 3% surcharge to use credit card. You can also pay in cash (and I believe Venmo) to avoid the surcharge. My car is running well, and they even upgraded my oil change to synthetic oil and catalytic converter lock frame- Thank you, JST! Look no further then JST for honest/transparent mechanics. I will be back for any maintenance needs in the future (I just hope not anytime soon, lol). read more

Fast service! Honest!!!!! I brought my car in due to a noise that I thought was brakes. After a thorough inspection, I was told the brakes were fine and the only issue was low oil. They changed the oil and now it is running great. Thank you so much! We will be back read more

Loved working with these folks. Brought in a 2004 Honda Civic. Came in with a complicated scraping-noise and oil leak issue that last few mechanics have not been able to figure out (and one issue that was caused by my last one that they couldn't fix). They did a deep clean of the engine bay to figure out where the oil leak was coming from (never had a mechanic bother to do that - usually they just resorted to 'it's a head gasket' when I knew it wasn't). They were transparent about pricing. Had to leave the car longer in the shop then expected but they provided a nice loaner car in the mean-time. Figured out via process of elimination that the issue was with my oil pump. Gave me my old parts to examine as requested, and I verified they were the real deal. Shout-out to Jude for being the most communicative and clear mechanic I've ever worked with! Will be back for sure. This place is also pretty busy so you may have to wait a bit for service - but they're busy for good reason! Pic attached of the cleanest my engine bay has ever been - at 200k miles! Thank you! read more

A big thank you to Howie and the JST Auto Care team for taking care of my car and being so warm and caring during the entire process. I had fixed two of my tire pressure sensors last year and noticed that the light was showing up on my dashboard a year later. I figured that the other two sensors were out of battery and that it was time to replace them. Howie was able to give me a quote on Yelp within 2 hours and was able to offer me the best price compared to other auto shops on Yelp. He talked me through the process and explained everything clearly to me, especially since I'm not very car savvy to begin with. Upon arrival, I was confused as where to go, but was able to drive through the small drive way to the back of the shop where the team works on the cars. I called Howie because I was uncertain and he was able to meet me in the front and direct me accordingly. Although their customer waiting room is under renovation, Howie did his best to make it as comfortable and amenable as possible. I really appreciated the extra thought and care. Howie would come back periodically to give me updates on how my car was doing, which helped break up the wait time. Eventually, he let me know that 3 of my sensors would need fixing. Although disheartened and a bit frustrated at the auto shop I had gone to last year, I decided to put my trust in Howie and his diagnosis. He explained to me what could have gone wrong this time and ensured that he would do his very best to fix it and make things right. Howie ensures that you're getting a quality product and the care that your car deserves and needs. Although I had to fix one more sensor than anticipated, I felt well taken care of at JST. I came back a second time to fix the third sensor once Howie got the part. All the team members were friendly and welcoming, and they are taking precautions during covid by wearing masks and social distancing. They are also accepting Venmo so there is contactless payment. Thank you again to Howie and the team here. I recommend JST and I anticipate I'll be back for other car needs. read more

Howie goes above and beyond for car repair. I can't thank him enough for taking care of my car at a fraction of the price I was quoted over the phone and 4-5 star Yelp businesses I contacted. I called Howie and told him my car needed new brakes after it made a screeching sound and what the dealership showed me when they ran tests. I just got an oil change that took hours to complete. However, the price for the dealership was ridiculously expensive I decided to call around. No one seemed to care and asked me questions about my car, different pricing available for materials I needed, and he was able to give me the best and most competitive pricing available. I was shocked that he was more affordable than my regular mechanic. Howie checked the oil change and showed me the dealer didn't top off my oil, but the oil looked and felt new. He topped it off without charging me. I appreciated that before he did anything he asked if he can show me the issue and how he can help me. He recommended me new rotors for my vehicle. I was hesitant at first because I thought I only needed new brake pads. He told me that he can replace the brake pads but since my rotors needed to be replace and it will wear my brakes quicker. I decided that it would be wise to pay to get it replaced and have my brake pads last longer. He promised my car would be done within 3-4 hours and he actually finished it a lot sooner than expected. My car runs smoother and doesn't make any noises. Howie is an amazing and honest mechanic and business owner. I am going to serviced my car and tell my family and friends about him. Thank you for your great service and customer care. read more

Took my GTI here to get the diverter valve replaced, my car was throwing 2 engine codes related to pressure and I suspected the diverter valve had broke. The car was ready within an hour and I was charged $125 for labor (I supplied the part). Lo and behold the engine codes were no longer present. Other shops were trying to charge me $250+ for labor. To further drive the point on how competitive their pricing is; I received several quotes from highly rated shops in the Bay Area for a spark plug and coilpack replacement. (labor only) ranging from $325-$400. Howie quoted me $125-$175. For those who aren't aware, this is about a 1-1 1/2 hour job and an easy DIY (I would've done it myself if my wrist wasn't sprained). So Howie's pricing is competitive. They order their parts direct from the dealership and therefore provide a warranty for the OEM parts and their labor. They're also one of few shops that installs customer provided parts. They also had a few older Porsches, tuner and project cars on their lot - which says a lot about their work. These guys are legit. Glad to say I've found a trust worthy shop that I'll be taking GTI and any future cars to. If you don't want to to get bent over by the dealership or German "specialty" shops JST Autocars has you covered. Howie is a friendly dude and honest about his team's work and the quotes they provide. read more

I have a 2017 BMW 330i . It had a problem before that the coolant storage tank and pipe was broken.. It was under warranty so that BMW dealer fixed it without any charge. This car was checked by BMW dealer in Jan 2024 this year. And looked fine and charged me $300 dollar for checking as the car repair advisor insisted that it should be checked and they warned me that it could cost me a few thousand dollars if I lost my car insurance warranty . From more than a year ago, I found the coolant would leak very tiny amount as I have to add coolant every 1-2 months and I did not know why? And the BMW dealer did not find anything wrong even I observed tiny little bit coolant leak. However, around 1-2 months ago, I could see coolant on my garage floor but I could not find anything leaking seeing from the engine hood top. I had a good experience with JST Auto a few years back for my Acura MDX , therefore decided to have JST Auto to diagnose and repair for me.. It's not a straightforward problem. Initially, coolant pressure test did not find anything wrong. After Jay did a thorough check and found the Water Pump and Thermostat should be blamed for the coolant leaking. I searched over Internet and found that other 2017-2018 BMW 330i had similar issues as I had ... On the other hand, BMW coolant pipe quality is not good at all... as I had previously replaced due to a bad coolant pipe. I did not know the water pump quality is not good either! I only drove around 57k miles for the last 7 years. My old BMW 525i never had this kind of coolant problem. I would like to thank JST Jay for his careful checking and done a great job. This was a headache problem for me and it was fixed by Jay. Thanks! read more

My car was due for a brake job and brake fluid flush. I bought a set performance brake kit and when I was ready I brought my car in to get serviced. I spoke with Howie who is the owner. He gave me the BEST price for labor work. Other auto repair shops were expensive. His team did a great job! They were able to get the job done quite quickly and effectively. They are Very knowledgeable. They specialize in Japanese and foreign cars. They also are able to work on Tesla vehicles. The shop also offers really great LED bulbs kits for the interior and exterior. I will bring my car in the future for more work when needed. Highly recommend! read more

Quick installation of catalytic converter shield. Easy to book appointments and great availability. Very responsive on yelp.

JST auto care is the only place I will go to for my car maintenance needs. The people here are honest, friendly and trustworthy. They also reply pretty quickly. I came here to replace the brake pads on my Mazda CX-5 about 5 months ago. They gave me a very reasonable rate and also answered all my questions patiently. Today, I brought the car for a quick inspection of the tires, and they didn't even charge me for it. They also gave me free air fresheners which smell awesome! The folks here are super chill and dependable. Highly recommended! read more

I absolutely dread anything maintenance related for my car. However, JST Auto Care made the process very smooth! Was overdue on my oil change, and the dealership service I normally schedule through was booked up for two weeks. Normally I'd wait since trying out new shops isn't fun, but the urgency of my maintenance light had other plans. My boyfriend recommended this shop since he had repairs done here & really liked their service. For my 2015 Lexus IS 250, I had a synthetic oil change, a tire rotation, and they also helped me check (and top off) my low coolant levels. Jude texted me updates along the way, was very friendly/personable, and had a great sense of humor! He was also very flexible about pick up times and let me know I could pick up up to 1.5 hours after closing if needed. At pick up, Howie walked me to my car just to confirm they had installed the sticker reminder on my windshield for when my next oil change would be due. As a girl, I feel wary when dealing with automotive related repairs and maintenance since shops may take advantage of my lack of knowledge with cars and up-charge, but that's definitely not the case here - which I VERY MUCH appreciate! The guys here are honest & dependable. Thanks for the help, thorough communication, & great service! read more

Great family run business. Had a check engine light and they were able to take a look and tell me what was wrong. Paid a fair price for diagnostics. I didn't end up having it fixed here since the problem was covered under warranty, but I'd definitely would come back in the future. read more

I highly recommend this place,, Judy did a really good job fixing my braking noise issue. He spent almost whole weekend finding the matching part. Very responsive and professional! read more

Howie was great giving me a very reasonable price For brake job on my Audi Q5, and they did a great job replacing all brake pads.

I paid $700 for OEM parts and labor. Thanks JST Auto. read more

Howie is a trustworthy honest owner of this shop and lets the customer know what their options are and is there to please and make sure you get an extra long warranty on parts he puts on your car! Most dealers wont warranty work over a week so it's better to go here than a dealer! read more

This place is a great spot to take your car if you need someone to take a look at your car. The owner and his staff are super respectful and chilled guys. From the start they greeted me with a warm welcome. They told me upfront how much everything would cost for the diagnostics of my car. After they finished up with the diagnostics of my car they informed me what they recommended me to get fixed. I told them that I would have to come back another day because I didn't have the money to make the fixes yet. They did not pressure me at all to get it fixed on the spot, which was very nice! The owner told me that he understood and gave me more information and advice on how to better take care of my car. I would definitely go back to get my car fixed here once I save more money. If you need your car looked at or fixed, this is the spot! Reach out to them via Yelp or give them a call to book your appointment! Thanks again guys for taking a look at my car. read more

I needed an oil change and my motor blower was having problems. For the oil change, it was done quickly at a great value. As for my motor blower, apparently a rat had nested on the blower during non-operation during Covid. So there was rat nest debris and rat poop everywhere!

Jude was extremely professional and courteous and I would definitely recommend this team to anyone looking for a fix up and good value! Thank you Jude for the amazing service! read more

Quick response to inquiries. Service completed in a timely manner. Reasonable pricing!

Brought in my car as I needed to get emissions fixed up for a smog check. Despite a lot of codes coming up during the fixes (24yr, not-so maintained car) Howie and team kept at it and they sure delivered. They took care of *everything* even driving the car around between fixes to make sure codes were getting cleared. Howie would call me from time to time to keep me updated on the progress and next steps. It was a tough fix as many parts were starting to fail, but they were able to get it done and now my car is running even better than before. Once the last of the codes were finally cleared up they even got it smogged for me so all I had to do was pick up the car and I was set! After getting ripped off at another place, I was a little worried about cost considering the amount of labor and parts they put into the fix, but Howie did his best to keep costs low and gave me an amazing deal so many thanks for that! They even filled up my tank a few times from all the driving, gave the car a good cleaning, and fixed up other small things - all at no extra cost. Highly recommending this shop, fantastic service and really really great value. JST be my go-to for all my future car needs. read more

Two of my back brake lights have been out for awhile, and I was looking for a local auto shop that wouldn't make it too pricey of a job to get them fixed. After reading all of the stellar reviews that JST Auto Care and Howie have here, I was easily able to schedule an appointment for end of the week. The job was quick and Howie priced everything fairly, while also giving an informative breakdown to his process. He was very helpful and professional in his service, and I will gladly come back to get more car work done in the future. read more

First off, I'd like to say that I chose JST automotive because they were so highly rated. Almost every rating is a five star. Actually now that I have re-read the ratings, I'm a little suspicious. Many do not mention what kind of car they have or what kind of service they had. Or how long they have had their car worked on here. JST automotive has been working on my car for about six months. I just got it back a couple of weeks ago. So the good--they are friendly and helpful as mentioned in the other review. But I see many of the other reviews are for nothing more than oil change or brake pad change. I brought my BMW in for a valve cover gasket change. Not the hardest job, but not the easiest either. I didn't want to do it myself because you have to disconnect several fuel lines. I didn't want to take the risk of not reconnecting them right and having a gas leak. This is exactly what happened. They were able to replace the valve cover gasket ok but I had to bring it back about four more times before they were able fix the gas leaks. They told me my car was worked on by an apprentice, and they didn't have their master mechanic check his work. While that's somewhat understandable, I can't see how this is a completely isolated incident. Update 4/3/2022: My windshield wipers have had bizarre and unexplained problems over the winter rainy season. They go down instead of up, and stop in the middle of the windshield. It turns out that they cut the wires to the wiper motor. I decided that I'd fix it myself rather than take it back and risk them breaking something else. So, in summary, this is a great place to take your car if you like to fix it yourself. read more
