Jacks Auto Service

I worked in the auto industry when I was younger which taught me truly valuable lessons. I learned a lot about cars. I also learned that honest mechanics are really difficult to find. Most mechanics will try to work you especially if you’re a female because they assume (ass of u and me) that your only knowledge of cars is putting the key in the ignition and hitting the gas. I’ve actually tested this theory a few times by playing dumb and pretending I know absolutely nothing about cars. (Drum roll: And… the Oscar goes to… oops I’m not white — never mind) I must be a great actress though because they buy it and prove to be dishonest so I end up calling them out on their BS and wishing them a good day. The look on their face is priceless. Obviously they’ve never heard the saying, ‘Don’t ever judge a book by its cover’. With that said, it’s refreshing to finally find a mechanic that I can trust. Fransen is honest, pleasant and knowledgeable. He provides quality service at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a mechanic that you can trust give Jack’s a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Came here for an oil change on Thursday morning. Services was fast and Mike take good care of my car. When you do an oil change they always check the fluids, tires… Jack and Mike are very polite and honest people you can trust. If you do not want to wait please give them a call before you come.

I’ve been coming here for years. My parents live one block from the shop and I’ve always had an ok experience. I needed to smog my Audi and I tried several times … All of which were unpleasant. Due to … Come back. He’s not in. Today I called and made an appointment for 1pm. I took my 30 min lunch and when I get there. Everyone is having lunch and they ask me to come back in 30 minutes!
I took my lunch… I made an appointment… I guess they don’t NEED my money !!
I will never go back !

No nonsense, Jack, his brother, and the associate always take good care of my Infinitis. In and out in a breeze, good price for synthetic oil change (6000 miles) which everyone should get.
It’s a small shop with a big heart. Support your local businesses now!

I came in for an oil change on a Saturday and expected to wait long for their services but to my surprise, Jack helped me right away and I was out of there in 20 minutes. Along with the oil change, they check the car fluids, brakes and tires.
I usually rotates my tires every time I change oil (I know that’s too much but I’m anal). Jack convinced me that it was not necessary, and that I should only do it 10k to 15k miles. He said it would only cost me money than helping my tires.
Overall, the workers were very honest and nice. They advices me on what needed and what not. Typical female like me will get taken advantage of if I go to other auto shop.
And no small talks, they got right to it; saved me a lot of time.

Ask for Fransen! I have known Fransen for many years. He used to work in the service department at a dealership, but he has branched out & gone independent. He’s one of the most honest & reliable mechanics I have ever met, & I’m sure you know how hard that it is to find. You’ll get dealership-​quality work at a significant discount. Definitely give Fransen a try, especially if you drive a Honda or Acura.

Came in for a smog check. Very reasonable price. Super polite men working here and got it done quick!

I would have given it five starts, if the place was not so dirty and slow, but on a positive note, Jack and his brother are very nice people. They seem honest, do their work diligently and they charge less than most other places!

If I could give it half a star I would… I feel generous today
The only reason why I went to this shop was because it was nearby work so during my break I decided to drop off my vehicle for a routine oil change. I came back to pick up my car and notice immediately that my light was still on and noted that my father (a mechanic) would change the oil for my car but have not had the time recently. Upon hearing that the worker immediately performed the oil change.
At this point I was annoyed/​frustrated and could not help but to think what if my father was not a mechanic? Would they send other customers away thinking that they performed the oil change and take their money?
Honestly, places like these give mechanics a shady rep. Avoid at all cost!

Jack is a great guy. he is honest, down to earth; and without question, he will show you the old parts of your vehicle that he replaced. It’s kinda hidden, but I own a few houses down the street from Jack’s; and it’s very convenient if you reside near to San Gabriel. He is semi retired, so there won’t be a gang of cars; but the bright side is that you can actually get your vehicle back in a reasonable time. SMOG CHECK too.
