Went above and beyond to inspect my vehicle and assess any wear and tear damages. Best repair center in Charleston! Definitely go to him for any car issues.

Scam Artist!!! Told me he wouldnt let my car leave without it being fixed due to "unsafe conditions" then charged me $250 to tighten 4 bolts for my engine. Avoid this place like the plague or else you will be taken advantage of.

Jimmy and his team did a excellent job on the repairs for a great price and most importantly, he called the following week to make sure that my wife and daughter made it home safely and that the vehicle was performing like it was new from the dealership. thanks, Jimmy and I also forgot to mention that we were from out of town and? And he took care of us like we were family We're we need. More repair shops just like jimmy's

Awesome service. Knowledgeable guys that didn’t try to add a bunch of stuff on. Diagnosed my engine problem and fix it same day.

I want to thank Jimmy and Martin for your quick evaluation of my car. I was returning to Charlotte when I noticed a whirring noise when I braked. I was driving slowly in bumper to bumper traffic across the overpasses of I-526 due to a wreck on I-26. I got really nervous and questioned whether it was safe to drive the remaining three hours home. Jimmy and Martin both test drove my car and put it on the lift. Jimmy gave me the go ahead that I would make it back to Charlotte with the recommendation to get my brakes checked when home. It gave me the piece of mine to keep going. I appreciate the honesty and willingness of these guys to help me out in a time of need. I would go back for their auto service if I lived in town and would recommend them to others.

Jimmys auto is our go to source for anything car or truck. My daughter and I will not take our vehicles anywhere else. No nonsense, great prices, everything above board, real experienced service techs. You owe it to yourself and your wallet to go there.

Jimmy and the entire staff are solid and have the knowledge and tools to fix whatever issues you have. Don’t expect kid gloves, but instead truth guided by their lifetime of experience and knowledge. Jimmy is a man of his word. After he proved that, then I became a repeat customer. I will be back for any service, repairs, or maintenance that pops up.

Mr. Jimmy and his team is phenomenal hands down. I moved to the area in Feb 2025 and my alternator went out and I was alone and didn't know anyone here. Had the car towed and asked the guy who he recommended and he took me to Jimmy and he came out s soon as we pulled in and I was literally in tears because didn't know what to expect. Let me tell you Mr Jimmy got me in and out the same day without breaking my pockets. What an awesome man of wisdom he looks out for his customers. I had to return to him on June 10, for my AC and he done wonders once again. This is the place to take your vehicle. Thank you Mr Jimmy and team. Thank you for taking good care of your customers!!!

I’ve been taking my cars to Jimmy for years. He always does a great job and makes sure my car is safe to be on the road. He goes above and beyond. He knocked out a bunch of work on my car in 2 days and it drives like new. Couldn’t be happier! He’s no BS, wants to make sure you’re safe on the road and does what he has to do to make that happen. If my car ever needs work I go to him! Thanks Jimmy!!

Hello friends. Please don't take ur vehicle here (Jimmy's)for services, You will not get satisfactory work for your hard-earned cash, he will tell you what you need to hear in the beginning and screw you in the end when it comes to his services and his workmanship, let it be fair warning from someone who dealt with him thinking he was the man to do the job !!! I Rate this shop as a 1 out of 10 Stars !!!!

I live in MIchigan. My daughter works near the shop. Initially I really trusted and felt that Jimmy was fair and decent work. He charged a reasonable price. Last encounter asked for an oil change and tire rotation while I was in town. I did this because I thought he would appreciate the business. Jimmy reluctantly did the work, after his wife pushed him a bit. He then charged 209.00 (after work was completed). Reasoning, his hourly rate is 125.00/hr then parts. He stated he did a "full inspection". Like some other times work was done at Jimmy's,, sensor lights come on as you drive off. This time the TPMS sensor went off. My tire dealer stated that the pressure in all the tires were fine. He did not believe that the car was fully inspected becasue a tire needed to be replaced. I feel like Jimmy didn't want to deal with a simple project and he then over charged. Unfortunatley , we will not be returning, despite his kind wife and daughters. My goal is to find a shop that is willing to resaonabley do preventative work, as well as handle repairs.

If I could give zero stars I would. Jimmy is an absolute scam artist who charged me $1,000 just to tell me the engine was at failure. We took the car in for his assessment because it was doing a worry-some knocking sound while driving. He did not provide any type of quote, just informed us that due to his “time” viewing the car, that is what his time was worth. Would not release the car until we paid $1,000 even though he did not do anything at all to fix the car. It was also very difficult for him to provide an itemized receipt and took him many days over email to add up the numbers to make up what would entail the cost being $1,000. Do not ever go to this shop, people in the area as well as other mechanics know him as a scam artist.

My car was sitting at another auto shop for 2 months I was so frustrated I decided to get a second opinion and I decided to take it to Jimmy's on the corner of Rivers Ave and Taylor St in NorthCharleston. And I must say he got the job done and in a timely manner. I would recommend Jimmy's auto repair center if u want your vehicle fix correctly and in a timely manner. I really appreciate your service.

The gentleman behind the counter helped me out with my box truck transmission issue. He was fair and gave me a couple options. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell that he enjoys helping people. The staff also was friendly and that lady that picked up the phone was very nice which is hard to find these days. I would recommend them to all my friends and family members. Thank you again!! ---Willie

Had a great experience with all employees, quick and quality work. Great communication with what work was required and did not try to upsell work that was not needed and even told me of issues that I hadn't noticed before. Would 100% recommend to my friends and would go again. As a note had a surprise 5% discount for military members aswell!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Honest, Reliable, and Fair – Jimmy Is the Real Deal Jimmy's He’s one of the few mechanics I’ve come across who’s genuinely honest and straightforward. He gave me a fair price from the start, explained everything clearly, and didn’t waste any time. The tech who worked on my car was just as impressive — fast, accurate, and clearly knew what he was doing that cares about quality. When looking for a mechanic, you can count on, Jimmy’s the one. Highly recommend!
