    First, support local-black owned businesses. Thanks to my neighbor and the Blax Friday app, I found this gem to fix my front bearings of my car's wheels at an affordable and accommodating price. They were so quick with the repairs unlike my dealership. Also, I will be going to them for service maintenance moving forward as their cost is less expensive than the dealership. Thank you Wendell and the JT Auto team for your amazing service!

    The gash in my tire from July 3

    I have been a customer of JT Auto for about 10 years. I loved them at first but am sorry to say that I won't be going back. I first noticed changes when the business moved from its little location west of Campbell to the larger one it's now in. When it was in the small shop, Wendell was super friendly and would walk me into the bay and show me what was wrong and what needed fixing. I trusted him completely. Now that the shop has moved, Wendell seems rushed whenever I bring my car in, and when I come to pick it up, I get a printout diagnostic of all the things wrong with my vehicle. It seemed like as the shop grew it became more of a money maker for Wendell rather than fulfilling a passion. The last straw for me was a month ago when I got a flat tire driving in a rainstorm at 3 pm on July 3. I called Wendell to let him know I had a flat (I had bought insurance on my tires through him) and was driving straight to the shop to get it fixed. I got the shop's voicemail so left a message. But when I got the shop was all closed up---they left early for the July 4 weekend maybe? Anyhow, I had to drive on the flat over to Discount Tire to buy a new tire. When I spoke to Wendell on Monday July 7 he said there was nothing he could do to reimburse me because he didn't see the tire. I was really upset because it wasn't my fault that the shop closed early on July 3! Anyway, he said he would try to get my request through the underwriter and I sent him the pic of the tire's gash, but basically he just stopped answering my calls. I was disappointed enough with the changes over the years but ghosting me? Come on, Wendell. You can do better.

    Two of my favorites only JT Auto will be taking care of.

    I have 2 daily drivers and 2 classic cars. I try to do the majority of the work on the cars myself, but sometimes the labor, effort or experience required is outside of my abilities. JT Auto and Wendell's quotes and prices for work and parts have always been spot on what I was expecting to pay before I went for the estimate. They also stand behind their estimate. I've met many of their techs. All good people. Sometimes they find more things that require attention and they've never been wrong. They have found other issues with my cars I didn't know about until I saw it for myself and they saved me more grief in the future. It's hard to find good shops and the only negative thing I can say is that their honest business model will eventually make them too busy for me to be able to get my own cars in.

    I navigated to your business for the second time and couldn't find anything. I don't see a sign or anything saying JT auto. You guys are probably losing a lot of customers this way. Where are you located?

    2530 E Fort Lowell rd 85716. Fort Lowell and Tucson are the cross streets

    Where is this business located? I tried to drive to it based on the gps and couldn't find it.

Found Buddy's online with good reviews, called, and they said they would look at it as soon as I wanted to stop in. Did so that day. AJ and John spent a good half hour checking it out with their diagnostic equipment. Took the refrigerant out and found there were 2 ounces too many in the place where it goes. They found no other issue. Turns out that too much can be as bad as too little. They thought that would fix the problem. One month later and and after long drives on two hot days from Tucson to Payson and back, it is clear they were right and it is working great. . They didn't even charge me. These guys know what they are doing and could not be more fair and honest. I am going to trust them with my future auto mechanic business. What a great experience with a business. Thank you. Remember to ask to meet Buddy when you go!

    Worst experience with an independent auto repair shop. If you want to be quoted one price, and then…read morereceive an inflated bill after the work is done (without a verbal or written authorization), then be forewarned. The owner John does not honor his quotes, has a foul mouth, and he will threaten to undo work that has been completed if you are not happy with his bill. Your vehicle will be taken hostage and I believe he is disturbed enough to follow up on his threats even if they harm him as well. It took a month and a half to complete the work and in all that time, he didn't have the professional skill or good business sense to tell me he had to adjust the original estimate. He was "too busy" to speak with his customer. Details if you are willing to read more: I read the Google reviews and this appeared to be a reputable shop for A/C service. I am now suspect of all their positive reviews. I initially received what I believed to be a reasonable quote and authorized them to do the work. I had to wait to return with the car because they had to source two small bolts. It was extremely difficult to receive any information from them and it was weeks before they scheduled to have the work done. I was finally told to drop my car off on a subsequent Monday and received no news for several days as I tried to determine when the work would be completed. Oddly, they do not work on Thursdays. Moreover, they pretty much work when they feel like it and never in the mornings. The shop usually starts their days sometime around noon. I was contacted on that Friday and told my car was ready, approximately six weeks after I first had my AC checked and diagnosed. It was only then that I was advised my bill was $300 over the original estimate. I addressed the discrepancy over the phone with John who told me they don't have time to call when they run into a problem and just proceed with unauthorized work saying all his customers are "happy to pay". Doubtful. And just to be clear, that is illegal according to Arizona law. He then proceeded to childishly tell me he would undo the work and return my car to the way I brought it in and I could go somewhere else to get my car fixed if I wasn't happy with the bill. He used some colorful language, F this and F that which clearly demonstrated his mental acuity and that I would have to pay up under duress. He called me back a second time that same evening to tell me his mechanics feelings were hurt, seriously, and that he didn't think he could control AJ from undoing the repairs and that I was an unappreciative client (because I expected a revised quote before the work was done). I'm uncertain if John has control over his employees which seems strange to me. In the end, I had no recourse than to pay whatever he wanted to charge to get my car back. My car was being held hostage for payment and subject to damage if I didn't pay for the unauthorized work. I would not be surprised if they damaged something on my vehicle that I couldn't detect until it was too late. He insisted I sign his new inflated quote, which I did under duress, after he said to AJ, "I don't' trust this F**king guy." He knew already he was in the wrong and was taking steps to cover his tracks. It doesn't work that way, we have rights. It's not legal under Arizona law to hold a client's car hostage. John doesn't take responsibility for himself or his employees. If he responds to this posting he will have a tantrum blaming me for his failure to not only follow the law but to practice basic rules of courtesy and business law. My only mistake was choosing this shop over other's who very likely know how to follow simple rules which protect them as well as their clients. For those of you who don't know, The Arizona Attorney's General Office accepts this type of complaint and will open an investigation. Exercise your rights, I will.
