I had an unexpected check engine light issue with rough running engine over the weekend. I dropped the car off on Sunday without any appointment. Jim’s got on it promptly on Monday, diagnosed the issue and made the repair by the next day. Thanks to the team for taking care of this so effortlessly.

As always, very courteous, prompt and professional. They were doing all the things that needed to be done concerning covid19. I never had a bad experience with Jim's car care since I started to take our family's cars in for service and safety inspections.

My 2007 Nissan Frontier had several problems that needed work. I was going out of town for a long weekend and asked Jim’s Car Care if they could fit me in their schedule while I was gone.

The guys there were great. They did good work without trying to “upsell” and finding more things wrong. Even had a question about another car and the advise they gave was something I could do on my own. I definitely got a feeling of honesty and a fair shop. I hope I don’t have to see them again, but if I do I know I’ll be treated well.
