JP Automotive

I pulled in during my lunch break, and asked Josh and Mike to take a look at my brakes. I previously checked the lights, and the fuse and the problem seemed to be else where. They took a look at the car for me right there on the spot, and were able to problem solve the issue and correct it in 30 minutes and got me out of there at a very fair price! I would absolutely recommend these guys, they know what they are doing and are mindful of budgets. I scheduled another appointment to address a less pressing issue.

My 95 Ram was running rough and I was having trouble getting it to pass smog. The first tester dismissed it without testing it. Josh had me go to another tester to have it tested and get the printout for diagnostic purposes. After seeing the printout, Josh said a tuneup would fix it. He tuned my truck the next day, under 3 hours, and it passed smog testing the following day. I will visit Josh again. Thanks!

Josh has such an attention to detail. While I had my VW bus in to have some work done he noticed other things that needed attention. A few of those things he did as a courtesy.
He got the job done quickly and I was pleased at how low the labor charges were.
Highly recommended.

JP Automotive has worked on several of my cars over the years. Most recently my 2000 Subaru Outback. From minor upkeep to major repairs Josh is always able to get me back on the road as quickly as possible. Josh is a knowledgeable and honest mechanic. Highly recommended!

I have a 2001 VW Jetta.
I actually live in the Auburn area and I frequently come down to the bay area to visit my family and friends. This trip my car was acting funny, mechanics I used before in my area always told me I was fine and I didn’t need any major servicing done.
Well this trip was a scary one and I actually broke down on woodside road and had to have my car towed into his shop. He called me this morning to tell me that I needed to have my serpentine belt replaced and a tensioner. I was terrified because I know how hard it is to work on my car. It is so compact in there that you basically have to pull the engine out to do anything (I might be exaggerating a little but that is how annoying it is and why labor is always so much).
I wasn’t expecting to get my car back today and he managed to do it all today. I was shocked and so grateful. Even though I lived a couple of hours away I am definitely going to see him from now on. Thank you so much Josh for all of your help I cannot express how grateful I am to you.
I would recommend him to anyone. Plus he has a very sweet pitbull that is just a big love bug. :)

I have a 1963 Caddy Coupe Deville and have a hard time finding a place that will work on it for an affordable rate. Especially an honest mechanic. Got my car back running like a top and didn’t break the bank.
Highly recommended.

JP Automotive is great and Josh is wonderful!
He has worked on my Ford Escape on tune ups, brake jobs, oil changes, and has even stopped to help me with headlamps and fuses. No job is too big (or too small).
He got my 1968 Mustang up and running… a car that had not been driven in 20 years! And now she really purrs!
I feel comfortable bringing my car to him because I know he is honest and won’t rip me off. I even referred my mother to him. He has helped her with her BMW a few times and now… she won’t go anywhere else! Honesty really counts.
He also keeps my husband’s work trucks running well.
We have even brought cars to him that we potentially wanted to purchase to have Josh look them over first.
He is very fairly-​priced, sooooo knowledgeable, and always pleasant! Don’t go anywhere else! He is GREAT! We could not be happier!

Every time i drive my bus i’m thankful to Josh. Not only did he pretty much fix my bus for nothing, he even called to follow up and offered me advice on adjusting the timing etc. He really takes his time to explain things which i really appreciate. Great service! It’s hard to find such a good and honest mechanic.

I’ve had the factory battery from my 2004 BMW last me up until this morning, the morning I was supposed to attend my appointment at the SF Passport Agency.
Stopped by JP Automotive today to look for a brand new battery for my car. I peered into his office (sign said closed) but before I went back to my vehicle with a sad look on my face, Josh appeared and welcomed me into his garage!
Josh did not have the specific battery at his shop, but had someone deliver the battery within 15 minutes. After I had a quick bite, Josh had me up and running with a new Interstate battery, and now my car starts instantly (and seems to be running better AFAICT). There’s plenty of auto places in that neighborhood, but Josh is your GO TO guy for your automotive needs!

If you’re looking for an good and honest mechanic, Josh at JP Automotive is by far the best around. His rates are unbeatable and he really takes pride in his work. I’ve been taking my car to him now for almost 2 yrs and he’s always done a great job.

Josh is the most honest mechanic I’ve ever taken my car to and worked with. He really knows what he’s doing and he’s very respectable. You also can’t beat his rate. And he’s quick!
He specializes in VW/​German cars but can work on pretty much everything. Including some motorcycles.
If you’re on foursquare, or check in using facebook; he has specials for you.

Reasonable price and fast and work done on my 1971 VW Bug.
