Oil change
Good shop close by. Very customer service friendly.
Outstanding customer service. No wait time. We will continue taking our cars to Jim’s Car Care for all servicing.
Jim and his crew did a thorough job on checking out our car. They are courteous, well spoken and keep a clean shop.
Excellent inspection. Pictures of work done during each operation were provided in work order summary. Detailed report of each service performed was tabed red, yellow or green for quick reference as to results. In just 2 days after my service was completed I have already recommend Jim's Car Care to 3 other people.

A friendly staff and clean repair shop. I had my N.C inspection done there.
Jim's place is an honest and great company to work with. They are helpful and will take the best care of your car. Best place by far for any car issues, or just inspection time! You should not go to anyone else, he truly is the best.
The staff found an issue with my vehicle which I had repaired. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.
Worked with me when I brought the wrong car in to inspect! Let me go home and get the correct one and still kept the appointment. In and out in no time. Thanks guys!
went to have my car inspected (my first one) and was highly satisfied with the service provided! they explained everything i needed ti know so well and even went through pictures of what could be a future problem. definitely coming back for all and any car services!
Jim's service is always prompt, courteous, and efficient. I'm glad I found them. This is a very friendly place to have your car serviced, even for just an oil change (thanks Phil). Best car service team I've experienced in my 45 years of car ownership.
Excellent service 👍. With the ever increasing cost of things, one never likes to be confronted with auto repairs and the unknowns associated with it. That said, I've been going to Jim's for over 20 years now because he provides excellent service and, most importantly, I have always felt that he is honest and trustworthy. This sets JCC above all others!

This is the only local car shop that doesn’t talk down at me because I don’t know a lot about cars. They never try to upsell me on things I don’t need and everyone I’ve interacted with there were genuinely nice and great at explaining any problems with my car.
Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. A real pleasure doing business with Jim's!
Had air pressure sensors replaced. They were ready at my appointment time and got the job done quickly. One minor hiccup though, they forgot to install the original (metal) valve stem covers. So I had to go back the next day. Otherwise, the service has been great and everyone is very nice and friendly.
Everyone at Jim's Car Care is super helpful and friendly. They are honest, trustworthy and upfront about your vehicle. I went in for an oil change and tire rotation and they noticed that my tag was up in January and asked if I wanted to get it inspected now so I wouldn't have to come back in two months. I…
We asked Jim to check out a 2007 Dodge Nitro that our son wants to ship to California. Jim's car care performed a good vehicle inspection listing a number of minor issues at a reasonable cost. We are pleased with this service.
