Ryan and Liam are great! They know how to tune a carburetor but can also work on newer cars too. Its a small shop so you won't get lost in the system like some other places.

Jim’s Garage fixed my flat tire while I waited and got me back on the road in about 10 minutes. Very thankful for this! Previously this year, they solved an intermittent lean condition that other shops were unable to fix. Also, as hot weather set in , I had some overheating problems that they diagnosed and repaired in a few hours. I began taking my vehicle to Jim’s Garage earlier this year at the recommendation of a friend and I’m glad I did. Friendly, competent staff, speedy repairs and the price is right. Also, their shop is only a few miles from my house. Very pleased with my experiences here!

I have been using Jim's garage since it opened for all my cars repairs. They work quickly and effectively, never hesitating to call and discuss with the customer next steps with a vehicle. I trust them completely when it comes to my cars repairs and maintenance. They go above and beyond when It comes to customer satisfaction and quality workmanship.

Jim's Garage is an excellent place for all your car repair and maintenance needs. I received prompt responses via email and voicemail, including an accurate quote for the cost of service. I was even offered budget-conscious alternatives for parts in the event that was needed (which also impressively implies that they use quality hardware by default). On the day of service, Bill was very courteous and kept me informed on the status of my vehicle. The service was also completed very promptly. Additionally, I requested replacement of both my front and rear brakes, but was kindly notified that my fronts did not need replacement, only the rear. I sincerely appreciated the honesty. I highly recommend Jim's Garage! PS. For you Honda folks out there, they also made sure to use the correct, Honda-equivalent fluids for my transmission fluid change.

Would grant more stars if I could! Extremely honorable people with great service to both customer and vehicle!! The gentlemen here were quick to respond, efficient, and affordable. They took my car day of, and had it completed by the end of it—with great communication throughout. My new local mechanic! Thanks Jim + staff

Bill was very nice and communication was great, but the actual repair was terrible. Took my Ford F100 for an AOD conversion and the transmission and TV cable were installed incorrectly causing the newly rebuilt transmission to fail almost immediately after I picked the truck up. They charge me nearly 3k and basically shrugged and blamed the poor shifting on the transmission rebuilder. It's taken me over a year to save enough money get the truck to another shop, who confirmed the transmission was installed incorrectly. They even cut the cross member to make it easier on themselves to get the trans in without removing the motor, which set the driveshaft at a steeper angle, and again the TV cable was installed and set incorrectly. Now I am going to have to have this transmission remanufactured, and pay someone just as much to do the same job all over again over a year later due to the cost of not having the work done correctlythe first time. Id prefer to deal with grumpy counter service and good mechanics than the other way around. I think most of these reviews must be based on Bill's great communication on more simple jobs the guys in the back can handle.

They have been keeping our older Prius running well for years. They are very thorough and reliable, along with excellent communication.
