These guys are the best. My husband introduced me to them and I was concerned as some mechanics just aren't honest. Not these guys. They are genuinely honest. We don't take our car anywhere else because I KNOW these guys will fix whatever issue is going on AND explain the issue to me in terms that make sense to me. They do great work in keeping our cars running. My husband and I both drive older cars and these guys have helped us keep both of those cars running.

I have been a Jim Davis Automotive customer for over twenty years! My experience with them has always been excellent! They consistently do high quality work, are timely, and patiently answer my many questions. They have gone out of their way, on several occasions, to find parts for my twenty-eight year old car when they need to be replaced. Because of this, I have been able to hold onto my car instead of dealing with the cost of an expensive new one. They are also very honest and never try to sell me repairs and services I do not need. Jim Davis Automotive is excellent and I recommend them highky!

I've been going to Jim Davis for almost 20 years, since I first moved to the area. I have always had great service with everyone. The prices are reasonable and the turnaround is always quick. BJ is a great mechanic and I was so happy for him when he took over the business. I always recommend to friends and I will continue to support this business as long as I am in the area

BJ and his mechanics do excellent work and at very reasonable prices. Their appointment availability is great, and their estimated turnaround time is good. They are very honest. If the mechanical problem is difficult to solve, they might keep the car for longer, but they’re up front about it because their aim is to always investigate, solve the issue, and provide quality service. For many, many years, we brought our cars to the car dealership to be serviced, and found that more often than not that they were dishonest, expensive, and unethical. We’ve been going to Jim Davis Auto for 5 years now. They were recommended to us by two different people, and we’re so grateful for that. Also, Aaron at the front desk is very polite, helpful, and direct. I hope this matches other Jim Davis Auto clients’ experience. It’s so difficult to find a good & trustworthy auto shop.

I first came here on a friend’s recommendation in 2015, and since the I’ve always had the best experience with the team at Jim Davis Automotive! The mechanics are amazing and the work they did on my 4 cars I took there has been top notch. The thing I mostly appreciate is the honesty: I always got a fair and transparent quote and never got billed more than necessary. In addition to regular service, they also did some more involved repairs on my cars, and they helped me with a pre-purchase inspection. The employees are very nice and they explain the repair in a language I can understand. I will keep using their services for as long as I am in the area. Thank you, Jim Davis Automotive!

Great car maintenance! I trust BJ and his team at Jim Davis automotive. They do reliable work at fair prices. We have been customers well over 20 years with something like 8 different vehicles (including kids’ cars). We keep our cars a long time, so an expert we trust is critical to keeping them running well and safely!

Jim Davis has been servicing our family cars for 25 years now and I would highly recommend them to anyone. BJ and his team have consistently gone above and beyond to get us the best service at the best price, and always with a very friendly demeanor. I’ve never had a single complaint. Whether it was as simple as helping me put air in my tires or replacing my daughter’s catalytic converter (at a price she could afford), we have been 100% satisfied customers. I would not consider taking my car anywhere else.

I have been using Jim Davis Automotive for more than 25 years. They are quick, accurate, and honest. I can't express my appreciation for them enough. They always have the time to answer my questions and call me when they have looked over my car before making repairs. I depend on them for my cars upkeep, as I drive across country multiple times a year. They keep me and my car safe. I don't know what I would do without them. I feel like they are family. Thanks Jim Davis Automotive for always being there. Victoria
