    I bought a Groupon to try this place out for the first time. Oil changes these days can cost an arm and a leg! These guys were Super quick and friendly! I showed up a little late for my appointment, but they still got me in without any hassle. Eveyone super professional, efficient, and made the whole oil change process smooth and stress-free. They had me out of there in just over 30 min! As a busy mom, this is soo much appreciated! They even gave me tips on how to tell when my car needs an oil change and even offered the Groupon rate for the next time without a Groupon! Definitely coming back here next time--highly recommend! Ditch the chains! Support the small local shops! Thank you JT's!!

    I moved to Florida from Ventura county and regularly drive my vehicle back and forth. On my last drive to the west coast I noticed a coolant leak coming from my van. Knowing I had to drive over 2500 miles to get back home to Florida it was very important to have my car running reliability (especially as I'd have to drive through the desert and Texas). I took my vehicle to JT's to have my coolant system fixed and some maintenance items included at the same time, such as a new water pump and timing belt. I got a couple quotes from different shops in the area and JT's was the best price and I had a good feeling about getting the work done There. JT's was also able to work with my very short timeline as I had to make the return trip soon. I picked up the vehicle in the short time frame with no issues. After driving the vehicle around for a couple days around town I wanted him to take a second look at the cooling system, just to make sure everything was in perfect working order. He took the van in immediately and fixed the small issue, which was covered with the warranty he offers. We finished our trip driving across the country and the van ran flawlessly with no issues at all (while pulling a trailer). If you're looking for auto repairs I recommend checking to see what JT's Automotive can do for you.

    JT's Automotive: Good work, fair price, but now I'm missing change? My fiance and I brought in her daily driver with some pretty serious issues (had a short which was causing an engine misfire). Joe was our point of contact and he helped us diagnose what was happening and gave us a $1900 estimate. I, myself, work in the automotive industry and recognized that the estimate for the work we would be getting done seemed reasonable. They ended up needing the car for an entire 3 days (1.5x longer than expected) which was a slight inconvenience but not the end of the world, especially for how helpful Joe had been to us to this point. I like to give my mechanics as much time as they need to ensure that I am not getting a rushed final product. The work done has only been completed for a day so there have been no issues observed after the work they have done as of now. For that we are thankful. My issue arises with the approximately $3 of quarters that have gone missing since we picked up the car as well as a couple of my light gray interior panels that now have a layer of grease on them. To rephrase that, a minimum of 12 quarters have gone missing from my fiance's coin storage. I am by no means accusing Joe of taking them, I just know for certain they were there when we dropped off the car as those quarters get set aside for our laundry. Normally I would remove valuables from my vehicles before taking them to get worked on, but this was an emergency and we just took it straight there not thinking anything of it. My fiance did give the shop a call once we noticed and they let us know that none of the work they do is inside the vehicle. We searched high and low before writing this just to give JT's the benefit of the doubt, but with the bill that we paid, I would expect my change inside our vehicle to not go missing whether it was stolen or simply and innocently knocked out of the car. Aside from this, I am satisfied with their expertise and am grateful that such a significant mechanical problem was taken care of.

    Receipt overpriced labor rate and wheel alignment.

    I can't believe it, it's my own fault. I've read reviews where folks said "I wish I could give…read morezero stars," In this case I wish I could give negative stars. About a year ago I took my vehicle here for a simple oil change. It took way longer than the "in a jiffy" banner said and the name suggests. The next morning I found oil drips on my garage floor. After checking the oil level I took the vehicle back. The explanation was a cross piece that some old oil had dripped on. They resolved the problem and gave me some oil clean up pads. Fast forward to now. Like a fool, I go back with the same vehicle for another simple change. I pulled right up to an empty bay. A fellow comes over and writes me up for an oil change. I explained the problem I had last time. and what the resolve was. I was assured that would not happen this time. Yeah, about that. So here it is over an hour later, they finally pulled my vehicle out and it sits, hood up as I continue to sit, waiting for someone, anyone, to let me pay and get out of there. Finally, I went over to the fellow who wrote me up and asked if I could pay and go. "Yeah, I'll be right with you, so I can show you the oil is clean and filled" Another ten minutes goes by, as I stand there by the vehicle. Finally, here he comes. OK, I see the dip stick with the clean oil, now I go to pay... $135 for a small four cylinder engine oil change? The dealer doesn't charge that much. Fine, just let me the $@$* outta here. And guess what I find in the morning... go on guess... I'll wait. OIL DRIPS on the garage floor. I really do not like to write negative reviews but. Never, never, ever, not ever never again. I've not had a worse automotive experience anywhere... "In a Jiffy" I don't blame them as much as I blame myself., I knew this place was not a smart choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go out and clean the garage floor AGAIN.

    I've been here a few times for routine oil changes and from my 3 spearate vehicle experiences, they…read morehave always performed well and completed the service in a reasonable time. They have two service bays but they don't always have both running, I think this has to do with how many people they have staffed that day but regardless, it does not seem to affect the speed and accuracy of the services I received. All of the times I have come here, it has been with Groupons but, I leanred that they always have coupons on their website that you can use. I've read some of the negative reviews and I can't see why some of they people have had bad expereinces. I think my only gripe is that sometimes the technicians talk too fast and expect the customer to know everything they are asking right off the bat. This is especially true when they are asking you to turn on your lights to check for bad bulbs. I think they forget that we can hardly hear them while inside the car. Other than that, I think I am going to keep coming here for the basic oil changes and fluid top off's on my vehicles.

    Camarillo Valvoline: Service you can't see…read more Experts you should NEVER trust. I have add two separate incidents at this Valvoline that will ensure I will never come back. The first occurred in January of this year when I went in for service and (against my better judgment) opted for a tire rotation. We left the shop thinking everything was fine and got a call from the tech saying that the tires have not been fully torqued and they could potentially fall off. They said they would come and find us, so they proceeded to drive to our location. Luckily we hadn't driven far and we were attending a wedding reception nearby but we had to deal with this in the midst of that. This is a egregious safety violation and could have resulted in our harm. The service technicians were very apologetic and nice however it is still highly unacceptable and dangerous. Valvoline gave us a free oil change, in exchange for our near-death experience. The second occurred today when having gone into this Camarillo location. Several things: -They didn't check my lights yet I saw on their checklist that they marked they were good . -They didn't check my tire pressure at the beginning of the service so I had to ask. -I wasn't shown my air filter. I had to ask them about it at which they said my air filter was "underneath my vehicle". This is blatantly false, and a straight up LIE. I removed the air filter myself after the service and this is the result. -I asked for a printed receipt, they never provided. THIS WILL BE THE VERY LAST TIME I EVER TAKE MY VEHICLE HERE. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. HORRIBLE. They couldn't care less and just want to get you out as quickly as possible.
