Rude front desk associates! ***UPDATE, I have changed my review from a 1 star to the 4 star. My family were in the area from out of town heading on a day trip and broke down in front of the JC Auto building and while we were trying to figure out what happened and if it was a minor or major repair I had a not so pleasant encounter with a front desk associate. Shortly after the owner John came out and offered his assistance with our vehicle. They were able to diagnose and repair our vehicle in just a few hours which was greatly appreciated as I said we were far from home. Very happy with how the vehicle is running now. I appreciate a business owner that takes the time to rectify someone’s experience to make sure they are happy with service whenever possible. If we ever find ourselves in the area again we will be sure to use JC Automotive

I have been bringing my cars to JC since 2018 and I can say confidently that you are not going to find anyone who does better work in this area. They always let me know the recommendations so if I think I can handle them myself, I’ll do it, but if not, there is no one else I would trust with my vehicle. I don’t have to worry about the parts that are going in it. I don’t have to worry about who’s working on it. I know that it will be done timely. I also know that I am not receiving any kind of special treatment; these gentleman treat everyone with the same respect.

I brought my car in to JC Automotive with an electrical issue: the car had dash lights flashing, and shut off while I was driving it. Once I jump started it I was able to get it home. I put it on a battery charger and was then able to take it in to JC Automotive. The diagnosis I was given was that the throttle body and mass air flow sensor had a problem. $830 to replace, and $485 to clean. I decided not to proceed with the repair, and to look into this issue further myself. I discovered that my alternator was not supplying power to my battery, and that the 140A main fuse was missing completely. Not sure if this was checked and forgotten to be replaced, or intentionally removed, but it is a bolt in fuse that could not have fallen out.

Excellent auto service provided for my 2006 Ford Focus wagon. They effect troubleshooting and repairs quickly and economically. If I drop the vehicle off early morning they provide quick estimate and perform repairs quickly as part availability allows. Great service advisors and mechanics.

The staff was extremely helpful and the cost was cheaper than expected. I had my wheels & tires delivered there with no issues. John even sent me a invoice stating which TPMS sensor was bad (came bad on the wheels) so I could get the company to ship me out a new one. I highly recommend this auto repair shop.

These guys are a joke. If I could give less than one star I would. This is the second time I've been here and it's like night and day. As it took 2 hours to replace a thermostat, I could head one of the guys say they should not explain details about the work done or needed. " He can read it ". Very unprofessional. And I will never return or recommend anyone there.

Driving back from Treasure Island the lovely toll collector noticed smoke coming from my tire. I pulled in and she phoned JC to let them know I would be stopping by to have them check. Friday afternoon of a long weekend! Stopped in. Diagnosed that the one break had ceased and they needed to be replaced. Completed the break job in a short period of time and got me safely back on the road before closing so I could complete my 2 hour drive home in time for my weekend plans. Mike at the desk coordinated everything and the team looked after me. Excellent service! A big thank you to all! Did I mention it was the Friday afternoon of a long weekend!!!

I am happy to write a review on JC Auto. We have been bringing our vehicles here for a few years. My stepson has had good experiences with his cars and we have been pleased with them on our cars and also our van. Professional, honest and they do what they say! It’s so good to find a reputable business!

I came in Friday,my coolant reservoir wouldn’t hold any water so I went in asking if by any chance they could figure out the issue and repair the same day and they did! It was a Friday and 2pm and they were clearly already busy. I’m very appreciative that they made time for me, JC’s has always been my go-to shop in st pete for reasons like this!

I took my car in for a vibration that was diagnosed as a motor mount issue. Parts were on back order, but Donnie worked his magic and was able to find them and now my car is driving like a dream. Thank you!!!

I love this shop. They are always quick and are honest about what's going on with my vehicles. They are close to my house and save me time and money vs the dealership.

I just wanted to give a shoutout for the honesty, integrity and great service JC Auto provides. I went in for an oil change and check my truck for any services needed and they told me my vehicle is running great and didn’t need anything else after inspection. It is hard as a non car educated person of course to trust certain auto shops not giving honest quotes, pricing and services to unsuspecting people. JC Auto does none of this trickery, if they say you need something… you need it. I dropped my truck off at 7:30am and went back to pick it up and home by 9am! The staff at JC auto are nice and honest people, thank you guys again!

I have found JCAutomotive 2b a rare find in today’s repair world. Courteous, attentive, informative and concerned to provide the customer ( me) with a great experience. Mike was especially helpful and made sure I was informed as to the progress to completion of my issue. Thank you can I take you back north when we head back?

I brought my son's 2007 Chevrolet Silverado classic 1500 in for stalling problems. I brought it in at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday morning and by 2:00 in the afternoon I was able to pick it up. It had a couple of issues that were quickly diagnosed and repaired. The truck runs perfectly now thanks to the professional and knowledgeable mechanics. That is the fastest I've ever had a vehicle serviced and serviced accurately out of any other location I have visited especially since moving out of the area. I love the fact that they call you up promptly to give you the update and the projected cost of the vehicle repairs and let you know what the status is regarding the issues that were found and the course of action needing to be taken . J.C. Auto has been and still is the most consistent and professional place to bring your vehicle for service and repair. What's even more wonderful is the vehicle doesn't leave the shop with handprints on the hood on the doors or on the interior. They take good care of the vehicle mechanically as well as physically and it's nice to have that confident feeling of knowing that you will have a vehicle that's properly diagnosed and repaired. Peace of mind!

Great place! I had a coolant leak in my Porsche Cayenne. I live in Maine and staying in Southern St Pete for a few months. I called JC Auto at 10:00 am, they said bring it right down. They brought it in, 10 mins after I got there, diagnosed it in 20 mins. Called me with a quote. Finished a complex repair within one day of my drop off and they shuttled me back and forth. Really impressed with Dan, Donnie and Jay my driver. All super nice and the best part, they came in at the exact quote which was probably half of what Porsche would have charged. I’d go back there in a minute

Unfortunately, I’ve had to deal with a few car issues lately, but JCS Automotive has made the process incredibly easy. Their service is consistently excellent, and for the first time, I feel like I can truly trust a mechanic's guidance and pricing. They work quickly without sacrificing quality. If you're looking for honest, fast, and fantastic service, this is the place to go.
