Great experience at this shop! The place is clean and well-maintained. Julius was extremely nice, thorough, and took the time to explain every detail, which I really appreciated since I don’t know much about cars. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of, which is something I worry about at other places. Highly recommend for honest and transparent service!

Great service. We went to the dealer for the standard 100,000 mile maintenance and we’re shocked at the price. This former Honda mechanic gave us a much better deal. Great small business and reliable mechanic. He communicated well with everything we needed.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My check engine light and service light came on so I called around. Other big known companies were quoting me $200 just for the diagnosis! Julius was able to run the diagnostic, do an oil change , and another repair for a fraction of the cost! They also have a room just for kids to play with toys and all, and everything was super clean. As a mother of 5 I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful it was. Julius was even able to get me in and out in a short time! The shop is located a short walk ( about 1 block) away from Amy’s donuts so it was nice to get the kids some food while we waited. After I drove my car around it drove smoother and all warning lights were gone. I’m so excited to have a mechanic that is honest and budget friendly! I definitely recommend supporting this small business! Abby H

Julius is easy, reasonable and efficient. I own my own business with multiple vehicles. Will definitely be using him for them all.

Great experience at JR’s Garage. Julius is an honest and thorough mechanic. He has worked on 2 of my cars and I've recommend him to my friends and family. Highly recommend. Go check him out!

Needed an oil change today. Searched up some places near work and JR's garage stood out due to the positive reviews so I decided to give this place a try. JR was able to service my car within an hour of giving him a call. The convenient location allowed me to walk back to work while my car was being worked on. No complaints!

Trustworthy, and friendly. JR is honest and his prices are fair. I brought in my Honda Accord, after a different mechanic told me I needed a bunch of expensive repairs. JR quoted the work for significantly less. He also let me know that some of the work was not needed right now, and showed me what to keep an eye on. Everything is still running well. I’ll be bringing my car and my wife’s car here in the future.
