James has worked on a couple of my vehicles now. He is always honest, helpful, and considerate. Not to mention he’s the best mechanic out there! HIGHLY recommend!

10/10 recommend Here or There Automotive. My friend and I called Jame’s shop for an emergency hitch repair on our cross country road trip. A bolt had been torn out of the car frame. We had a wonderful experience and I couldn’t say thank you enough for all the help James gave us. He helped us unhook and reattach our trailer, fixed the hitch and even welded it to the car, and then charged us an incredibly reasonable and generously low price for his 4.5 hr repair. I am very grateful for all he did and his help.

I’ve just started doing business with James and I’m very grateful to have found a mechanic in junction like him. He is a down to earth type person with the know-how and patience to ensure he can help and fix whatever issue arises with your vehicle. :)

I highly recommend Here or There Auto. James is a great mechanic, a smart and hard worker, a cool guy to hang around with, and a great conversationalist. On a cross-country trip with a buddy my car started making a sputtering noise and was unable to hold consistent RPM. My friend called Here or There and James told us that he could look at the issue. By the time we got there the sputtering was loud as ever but within 30 minutes James had diagnosed the problem and figured an estimate for the repair and confirmed with a parts store that what was needed was in stock. Over the next hour and change he got the part replaced and the engine purring again while being a joy to talk with about stargazing, old work stories, and travel. He fit us in to his busy schedule and at the end of the day he saved our trip. If you need emergency repairs, there are few better places to bring your clunker to than Here or There. If I lived in the area I'd bring my car into his garage regularly as James is a good mechanic and a good guy to hang around. 10/10.

Awesome shop! James is honest, knowledgeable and kind. He always takes the time to explain the problem and the solution and gives some of the best prices in town. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for help!

Driving from Denver to LA we encountered some slight mechanical problems. My one call led us to James. We told him what was going on, and he accurately diagnosed the first issue immediately. We took care of that, which allowed us to diagnose the main problem. He gave us the confidence we needed to proceed and make it home safely. All with what sounded like the worst cold of the season and on the one day he was forced to take off. I would not hesitate to spend a day or so in Grand Junction just to take my vehicle to James. Mr. James, Thank you again sir!!!

Jim dropped everything on a Sunday to help us troubleshoot when the engine light came on in our RV. He met us at his shop, worked tirelessly to identify the problem and got the part we needed installed as quickly as possible. The next morning we were back on the road for our vacation. He even called to follow up and make sure everything was running smoothly. Jim provides high quality, professional service. He is trustworthy & takes pride in his work. Highly recommend!

I arrived 15 minutes before closing on a Saturday, but James looked happy to see me. He is professional, courteous, and clearly knows what he is doing. He had back on the road in no time. Thanks James!

Jim was amazing in helping us diagnose and repair some check engine codes. He got us in right away, found the problem, fixed the problem and got us on our way a lot sooner than any other shop in town would have. Most wouldn’t even see us on the weekend, let alone have us out of there fixed on a Saturday. I was able to learn alot about our truck and inspect his work. Jim is a top notch mechanic and I would be happy taming any car we ever owned to him.

James was an incredible help! I broke down on the road and after getting turned away by 15+ shops, James agreed to take a look at my car and stay over three hours after he closed to help me out! He went above and beyond and it was obvious he was an expert! His pricing was also very fair and made sure I felt welcome.

James knows his job, is professional, and wants your vehicle to be well fixed . He is an honest mechanic and would not screw you up. He helped me so much on consultations of used cars i purchased and saved me from getting ripped off. I highly recommend his service. Great job as always.

We were on our way through town and had car trouble. James was great about getting us right in and was thorough in diagnosing the problems. He knew that we were on a schedule so have us options on pricing to get there quickly and get us back on the road. Great mechanic and person. Even followed up to make sure everything was good.

Jim was terrific. He worked with us and got our power steering pump fixed at a decent price. He also recognized a couple of maintenance repairs that need addressed in the near future for us to keep in mind. Jim really cares about his customers. Will definitely be back.

My car broke down on the I-70. We called Jim and as soon as our car was towed to him, he was ready to get us back on the road. Jim is very personable and skilled. He explained his repairs while he worked. Best service!

Best mechanic I’ve been to! Transparent about pricing (and charged far less than I expected), and was able to watch and ask questions while James worked. Took a couple hours to repair something another shop had taken 3 days to. Will be back for sure!

James is a no BS strait up honest mechanic that is here to help his fellow people , he's not looking to rip you off with overcharging and high prices. James is definitely one of the top mechanics in this valley . As well the best prices you could have when it comes to a mechanic . He helped me personally with what I thought would be a 3500$ fix and it ended up being a 500$ fix. Definitely top notch service all around and I will continue to only use him for service on my vehicles

If I could give 100 stars, I would! I had an intermittent electrical issue on my Tundra that had myself and several mechanics stumped, I thought I was doomed. James was able to locate and fix the issue almost immediately in that mystical way that makes you genuinely wonder if this person is a wizard! Hell of a nice guy, straight shooter, knowledgeable mechanic, and a good soul. I can't recommend him enough for your auto needs. Thanks again, James!!
