J’s Automotive Service

I’ve been taking our cars to Jay for years now. Couldn’t ask for a better mechanic. And from what I understand, Diogenes left his lamp with Jay.

I will never… repeat NEVER use a dealer repair shop ever again… ESPECIALLY after visiting J’s Automotive.
It’s like bringing your car to one of your dad’s buddies who’s been working on cars since tinkering with Tonka toys as a boy.
He knows his stuff. He’s HONEST. And he’s not in the business of taking advantage of you (Ladies? You listening?)…
My dealer service center said my a/​c was broken. They used lots of terms and hand motions to tell me that I would have to spend $ 950 to fix it. I told them I couldn’t do it. Hello? Have you see the economy lately? The repair tech quickly replied, «Let me go talk to my guy and see what I can do». The first time he returned the service was down to $ 850, the second time it was $ 750 and when I insisted I still couldn’t afford to do it, he said he could do it for $ 550. Um, excuse me?
Fed up — I left. A friend of mine had used J’s in the past and was always happy. I got his number, made the call, brought in the car.
He’s right near the Metro so leaving the car isn’t a pain-​in-​the-​rear… I phoned him back a little while later and low and behold — $ 60 bucks worth of freon and my problem was solved. (Seriously — that’s all I needed was some stinkin’ freon!)
I chatted with J when I picked up my car and now we’ll be doing all of my service there. Oh, and BTW — I drive a hybrid. He can do it ALL!
Thanks, J! Blessings!
