I've been bringing my car to Jim Davis Automotive for about 7 years and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly and knowledgeable service. BJ, the owner, takes the time to thoroughly explain any issues with my car and provides a fair and transparent estimate.
Throughout the repair process, I'm kept updated on the progress and any additional costs that come up. The work is completed on time and to a high standard, and I feel confident in the safety and reliability of my car.
Overall, I highly recommend Jim Davis Automotive for any of your car repair needs. Their professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail are second to none!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Julie B.Palo Alto, CA0121Aug 24, 2024

These guys are so nice and they do great work. I trust them and the price is very reasonable. I usually only have to wait a couple of days to get my car in!

Outstanding service. Respectful to women. Really know cars and will try to figure out away to repair not always replace.

I just want to thank these guys for helping me today after a difficult morning with my car. I was far away from home and my mechanic and even though they were busy they helped me to check the codes that came up and make me feel safe about driving all the way back to mu mechanic in san jose.

The first time I came here, BJ helped me replace a light on my Honda for $10. He was super friendly and super quick! Today, I came in on a whim during my lunch because my tire pressure light came on. Daniel greeted me right away and added air to all my tires, then found a nail on my back right tire. He immediately got to work, removed it, patched it all up and added air to the tire within 10 minutes. I was only charged $25. Couldn't beat that! I'm grateful for their kindness and for how quick/affordable they are. Truly do appreciate the team here!

Everything was fine until I needed to ask a follow-up question in regards to the billing. I didn't know their labor rate was $160/hr, which seems a lot, and they do use that number to figure out how much to bill you based on long they work on your car.
I paid under $100 for mileage inspection because I brought my own oil and filter but seeing the $160 on the bill threw me off. When I asked about that on the phone, I was yelled at. I told them I didn't like being yelled at. They continued to yell, laugh, and hung up on me.
There isn't a valid reason to yell at a customer for needing explanation. I wouldn't recommend going here because they proceeded to disrespect me after I told them I didn't like being yelled at.
I doubt they would have talked to me the same way had I been a man at an autoshop.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
