Jim really saved the day for my family yesterday! We were driving down the freeway when all the sudden our truck started shifting funny and then completely broke down. Our transmission lines had busted. We had it towed to this business after talking with Jim and within an hour we had our truck working again! Very nice and professional, knows exactly what to look for and what he’s doing. We don’t live close by but if we’re ever in the area and need help again we know who to call! Thanks so much!

Jim is a fantastic person who has been in the mechanic business for a long time. He's VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE on many makes & models. I have had Great luck with Jim and his other mechanics I would highly recommend him to my friends to my family and also to the public, I really appreciate him and the work and the fact that he takes time to explain things to you which a lot of mechanics don't they just want to jab you stab you and hand you a bill. Thanks Jim for being a great mechanic and being a good friend. Paula Tweedie. EVERETT WASH.

Jim is one of a kind and a true gem. Honest and knowledgeable with your best interest at heart. There are not enough words to say good things. He has taken care of my brakes, check engine light, my coils and spark plugs. Not that cost matters to me but he provides the most cost effective options.

Where do I start? I didn’t t realize there were Mechanics who actually were this honest, n fast, n kind! Had an emergency on the hwy- on my lunch hour 😩- My friends dad followed me to this shop n I was immediately helped, car diagnosed and part ordered w same day completion! My car was done when I got off work! It was extremely low cost compared to the Jeep dealer, where I’ve always gone. The knowledge Jim has is apparent the instant he talks to you. I’m so thankful for everyone at Jim’s startup! They were clearly very busy but still took my vehicle on site! Thank you so much! I’m so excited to have a new, honest n witty mechanic!

Relied on Jim to keep my 5 vehicles in great shape during child rearing. Down to one vehicle again, now. Jim is an excellent mechanic, an honest person, and will save you money in the short and long term. You will feel confident and safe with the work he does for you.

Jim is our go to car support! We’ve taken our two cars there multiple times and he has always been informative with his diagnosis of the issue/the fix, speedy, and affordable. As of late, I called him about our 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee not making any noise as we try to turn it on hoping to set up an appointment to bring it in. Jim being the wizard that he is actually just gave us advice to try on the Jeep before bringing it in to him, we did it, and it worked. Such a great mechanic, we will never go anywhere else! We genuinely wish that we could give him 10/5 stars.

I have been going to Jim for several years based on a co-workers recommendation. Each time I walk away respecting him more, and wanting to hang out with him! He is honest and has never recommended unnecessary repairs, in fact once he told me I still had several months left on my brakes and to hold off. On one of the visits he saved me thousands of dollars (approx $8k) by identifying there was something wrong with my transmission and recommended I take it into the dealership because it was still under warranty. Sure enough, there was a huge issue. I've recommended him to all my friends and family and they are just as impressed. Jim is the absolute best. I'm forever grateful to my former co-worker for recommending him.

My extended family and friends have been going to Jim for multiple generations and it will be sad day when he retires. He is extremely honest and his level of expertise and service is miles ahead of any dealer experience I have ever had without breaking the bank. He’s worked on foreign and domestic for me .

You gotta love this guy! Great dry sense of humor & honest to boot. I own a 2008 Acura MDX. The dealership reccomended over $3,000 of repairs. Jim checked out my car and said there's nothing unusual or urgent going on. He saved me $3,000. He charged me $0.00 and I had a great time at his shop, too. Good-bye dealership, hello Jim, you've earned my business and trust.

I was in need of an honest and trustworthy mechanic for my 1988 Honda accord. I stumbled upon Jim’s startup foreign car repair and I couldn’t be happier!! I wish I knew of him several years ago. He is short of amazing!!! What a fantastic guy!! He’s definitely admired and loved by many as his shop is constantly busy. He has the knowledge and welding expertise that is hard to find now days. Thank you Jim for getting me back on the road.
