These guys are the galactic top experts on the first generation Honda Insights, especially Scott. And they stock many parts that might show some wear after hundreds of thousands of miles. On mine, they replaced the complicated belly pan assembly with a single piece that makes the under side less turbulent at speed. They also modified both front and rear suspension making it handle better and ride better. At ~180,000 miles I asked them to service the engine. They cleaned the EGR, adjusted the valve lifter clearances, cleaned the fuel injectors and misc little stuff. It runs better than new now at 120,000 miles. And their prices are fair.

I have a repair shop in Escondido Ca < San Diego area > Had a long time client of mine who now lives and works in Covina. He called with a odd noise feeling when braking. Found Jue Motors through AAA as we are AAA a well. Spoke with Jimmy explained what was going on as we had just done some related brake work. He quickly got my client in and found the new replacement drums were slightly out of round. Corrected the issue and a more than fair price. Its a great relief to know there is another shop with the same mind set as ours taking care of the client ! Thank you very much Jimmy ! Sincerely,Frank C.

Scott has been working on my Insight since I bought it in 2014. The guys always take great care in making sure the car is running at its best and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. The owner, Jimmy, is great as well. If you're looking for service for your Honda, this is the place!

I originally found this place through a forum. I drive a 1st gen Honda Insight and not many people do work on them that is high quality at a reasonable price, however I was appointed to the direction of Scott and he is by far one of the best mechanics I've had the pleasure of meeting. Scott and Jimmy are great guys that offer outstanding customer service and a high level of workmanship whether you're just getting a tune up of a transmission rebuild. I drive 40 miles just to come to this shop and I recommend you do too.

New Review: Unapologetic and brash be prepared to have your ear talked off. Although these guys do good work on these cars and are a wealth of knowledge they have no social etiquette. They would not apologize after being offensive to me. Scott and everyone who went along decided that they would rather not admit any wrong doing and cut ties with me instead. This is after going there for a few years and spending close to 10K on my Insight. Apparently they rather burn bridges then continue to have my business. Hopefully things get better but as people get older you know what they say. It is what it is go at your own risk. Old review: Best place if you have a Honda Insight!! Scott is keeping these cars rolling on the road. Combining his experience and expertise he makes custom parts and also has a bunch of factory parts in stock as well so while others have to wait these days you don't! Get you custom aero panel and upgraded springs (the Insights rear suspension desperately needs it). For a car as rare as the 1st gen Insight get the right work at the right price!

I had not heard about this place. But, one day my car broke down. And, AAA associate on the call suggested me this place as this has night drop off facility. I liked the way in which Jimmy and his team treat their customers. Very nice people - they are very open and honest. They don't try to create a big scene out of nothing, just to make you pay more. I liked that. Ever since that instance, I have been going there - even for regular oil change. Just make sure to call Jimmy and book an appointment though - this makes it convinient for us as well as his team since they are usually busy. (Of course, you may walk-in, but then you may have to wait for a while). Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Been coming to Jimmy for over a decade and a half. He's honest, fair and will tell you what you can wait on if you are strapped for cash. Jue Motors always has had good mechanics and has been working with him for years. Jimmy's strive for excellence shows and I'll be coming to his shop for years to come.

Everyone knows how hard it can be to find a great mechanic; someone who not only is a expert in their field, but also is honest and provides great service. Had my car towed to Jimmy after breaking down with a transmission problem, Jimmy quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem and had my car back in service in a day. Great service, great technician! Thanks Jimmy!!

I stopped by here on a Saturday morning about 2 weeks ago to try to get a price quote matched from an Infiniti dealer. Spoke to Jimmy, who seemed nice, and he took a look at my car and gave me feedback on the areas needed to be repaired. My biggest problem with Jimmy is the unresponsiveness to follow back up with me with the price quote I requested. He took down my name, number, and address and told me that he would get back to me on Monday. I called him on Monday afternoon asking if the price quote was ready, but Jimmy said he was very busy, he still had to research it, and that he would get back to me either later today or Tuesday. No phone call on Tuesday. I decided to call again Wednesday to see if there was any progress. This time, Jimmy mentioned that he was taking a car to the wash and would get back to me when he got back into the office. No phone call back again. It's annoying that he never calls me back because I actually wanted to give him my business. If he didn't want to repair my car, he should just tell me straight up "no" instead of making excuses each time I try to call. Unprofessional.

Got my actuator (?) Replaced. Price was a little below the dealership would have charged. Job took almost a week... Nevertheless, Jimmy and his crew did a good job. Highly recommend.

My first time working with Jue motors, caught a check engine on Sunday, drove to work Monday morning, searched the highest rated auto shops near my factory and bam! 1.0 miles away to Jue motors, got an estimate and recommendation within a few hours, completed the repair that day, even got a AAA discount. Great place to bring your auto, I highly recommend it. James W. , GM Anvil Case company

AAA recommended. I have never been happier with mechanic! Great people, very polite and knowledgeable. And they do hybrids!! Even handled the warranty claim for me. Any vehicle breakdown is a very stressful time and these guys knew their stuff!!!

The best in the nation for 1st generation Honda Insight servicing, friendly staff who can talk you through your servicing options and help develop a service plan that meets your needs and keeps your car on the road. Reasonable prices while also getting OEM or better parts.

My pa always told me, pay your taxes and find a mechanic you can trust. I take my '97 Eclipse and '04 Crossfire to Jue Motors for all my needs. Oil changes, tuneups, new tires, mechanical issues...Jue Motors is my one stop shop!! Special shut out to Scotty and his expertise with EV's!!
