Jim's maintains a record on my car and when I needed an inspection I was immediately notified and an appointment set. I was, as usual, welcomed warmly and as a friend, having a short chat about similar interests. The work was done promptly and well. Jim's is the only place I will entrust my car.

Jim’s Car Care is excellent for car inspections I was in and out in 20 minutes. They are also great for car repairs. We’ve been going there for over 10 years. Staff is very courteous and efficient. So if you are looking for a good mechanic with reasonable prices, look no further. Call Jim’s Car Care.

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.
