Great, honest and affordable mechanic work

by bikesnbeans

Dave and his mechanics are diamonds in the rough. I do most of my own work on my cars, and when it's something more intense like electronics or requires specialty tools, etc., Dave is my go-to guy.

These guys will do everything they can to keep your bill low (unlike other shops who try to make the bill high). They do great work in a timely, friendly and understanding way. They also explain to me what needs done and what can be postponed until later. They are fair and understanding too.

A geat experience all around; I would recommend this shop to anyone.

• Pros: HONEST!!!

Honest, polite, efficient, top quality.

A year ago I needed a tune up and belt replacement. The place I first went to performed the tune up at a reasonable price, but for the belt replacement, they quoted me $800+. Looking for a second opinion I bumped into J&S Automotive. Dave took a look at my car, said that I need new belts and told me it was $90 out the door. He also mentioned that my breaks were giving a little squeek and they would take a look at them to make sure they were ok. In the end I got the belts replaced that day, and was told that my breaks were good for about another year. Needless to day a year later I go back to get my breaks done, and with another inspection they tell me my car is in great working order. The world needs more Mechanic shops that work the way Dave and his crew does.

• Pros: Great work, real prices.
• Cons: None

A mechanic you can trust?

by maximus

I have been taking my car, my wife's car and my mother-in- laws car to Dave at J & S for close to five years. I have to admit when I first went there I saw his monicker as being the only honest mechanic and I burst out laughing. I mean come on, my three top professions not to trust are attorneys, doctors and mechanics. Dave has always taken the time to explain exactly what the problem is and he makes a point to map out the options for whatever the problem may be. What I mean by options are what the most you could spend is, what the least you can spend is and what the time frame is on the present condition of the vehicle. On those rare occasions when something didn't work as he said it would he has always went out of his way to correct the problem at his own expense. There are not many mechanics or shops I would recommend, but this is one that I constantly stake my reputation against, and my reputation is GOOD.

• Pros: Doesn't BS you, gives it to you straight.
• Cons: He could have a better TV in the seating area..LOL.
