    Before you come to this dealership, check the Yelp reviews because they provide the most honest feedback. This dealership is incorrectly doing oil changes and doing damage to people's cars. Friday, May 11 I had a belt snap on my 2014 Ford Edge. Keep in mind, I'm mechanically inclined and know how to do the repair myself, but I simply didn't have the time. I dropped my car off on May 11, and it stayed overnight because they had to wait a day for the tensioner to come in which is ok and understandable. Also, keep in mind the total for parts was around $200, while they charged me $600 in labor alone. Saturday, May 12 I went to pick up my car, and only two blocks down the street it immediately went into limp mode. The dashboard displayed "Service AdvanceTrac." Usually when this happens, it points to a voltage-related issue. When I brought the car back, that's when my experience turned sour. No one seemed eager to look at the vehicle. Instead, I was being gaslit and told the car may have already had the issue before I brought it in, or that maybe I had done something to it in the past. The car instantly went into limp mode as I drove down the street. Then I was told they wanted to charge me $250 for a diagnostic on a car that had literally just left their lot. After arguing back and forth for a few minutes, my service advisor finally agreed to do the diagnostic for free but I have to keep the car there overnight. I asked to speak with the manager, Paul, and this is where things got even worse. Paul showed zero concern about the situation. When I stepped into his office, he kept typing away on his computer and barely acknowledged me. Eventually he told me to come in, and after I explained everything that happened, he still showed no urgency or concern. All he said was, "We'll do a diagnosis and see you tomorrow." Now another day without my car and they could have easily plugged in a scan tool quickly to see what was happening. No one cared. They didn't offer me a loaner car or made sure I needed a mode of transportation throughout the day. Monday, May 13 My car sat at the dealership for another night. I called right when they opened to get an ETA on the vehicle, and I was told it would be ready by 10 AM. 10 AM came and went with no update, so I called again around 11. I was then told it would be ready by 1 PM. At 1 PM, I still had no response and couldn't even get my service advisor on the phone until around 2 PM. At that point, I was told they were just then plugging the scanner into the car to pull codes. There was absolutely no urgency in addressing my vehicle. I spent a ton of money on Uber already and this 800 dollar repair job has turned into 1000 because of that. I had waited over 24 hours, and they hadn't even scanned the car yet. When I finally came in, I was told my alternator needed to be replaced, even though it's only two years old. Then I was told the pin on my mass airflow sensor was broken, which they claimed was the main cause of the car going into limp mode. The service advisor tried to tell me that when my belt snapped, it somehow caused the pin on the mass airflow sensor to break. And the wire to the sensor was ripped as well. I know this is from a lack of care from the techs part. I know for a fact one of their technicians broke it and is refusing to own up to it. But that's fine. This vehicle has service records and it will be an easy fight to win. I gathered all the documentation I needed to proceed further. Have a good day. Owen is a good service advisor but he works with poor managers and techs

    Came in for a FREE complimentary oil change... almost left with an $1,100 bill from damages occurred while in their service. Took my car to the dealership thinking I was getting a simple complimentary service. Instead, I'm told my oil pan is suddenly destroyed and needs to be replaced for over a thousand dollars. Their explanation? "No issues removing the bolt"... but somehow the threads magically disappeared right after. What's even better? The drain bolt they handed back had metal shavings all over it but I'm supposed to believe this was "pre-existing." So let me get this straight, everything was fine until they touched it. To top it off, Service Manager Paul Galvao decided the best way to handle the situation was by raising his voice and pointing his finger at my mother. Completely disrespectful, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing for a business that claims to value its customers. The only bright spot was Service Advisor Owen Rogers, who actually stepped in to de-escalate his own manager and tried to help. He deserves recognition. In the end, they put in a temporary oversized plug just so I could leave because yes, the damage is real but the responsibility? Still being dodged. I feel completely wronged by this experience, and can not even imagine what they do to other vulnerable customers. A complaint has been filed with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, and until this situation is made right, this is a zero-star experience in my book.

    Jorge is THE MOST HONEST AND QUICK mechanic I have ever used. He charges you for parts (at cost)…read moreand labor. That is it! He makes his money from labor and his labor charge is VERY VERY reasonable. I asked him once why he doesn't upcharge and he answered, "I have been a mechanic for many many years for other people and have seen how they treat people. I wanted to open my own shop to help people feel safe and comfortable in their cars! I love the work and helping people fix their vehicles!" He was serious and he proves that to me time and time again with the repairs he does on my cars. He keeps all parts he takes off to show you He buys his parts as at cost through a distributor and does not up charge. If the best is $22 that's what he charges you. He will hardly ever say no to you He is more than willing to examine and 'take a quick look and listen' as a curtosy He was once repairing the button to close the side door of my van, he opened up the other side and noticed that one was looking a little frayed so just fixed it to save me the hassle later but didn't let it affect the labor time. I cannot day enough good about him. His is TRUSTWORTHY AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE which in my opinion are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU WANT IN A MECHANIC! He has me as a customer for life and he knows that. I bring my cars to him for oil changes, even though I can do them myself because I want him to have the business. Nuff said.

Was immediately captivated when he offered me a free estimate without knowing me. I was impressed with his vast knowledge and detailed explanations which were quite informative! Jorge called me after diagnosing the true problem and did the work in a timely and less expensive manner! Making me and my wife very happy! I will most definitely return to and refer others to JR Auto Repair! Exceptional work at a fair and reasonable price is very hard to find. I thanked him profusely and let him know I'd bee a repeat customer for sure! Appreciated!
