Shipman gets the job done right. As a female, I drive all over the southeast. Ruth and her husband know what needs done to keep me and my little construction work truck going. Although I always try to be careful, this little truck can haul some concrete through swamps of Florida or climb some serious Tennessee mountains with ease while pulling a mortar mixer, and I couldnt be prouder. My big goals are in sight, my truck is my tool, Shipment makes it happen, and keeps it going strong. Words can not express my gratitude.

Have taken my Jeep here several times and they are super people. In my dealings with Ruth, Michael, and Keith all have been very professional and the work has been good. They always explain what is going on and why and in the case of my last repair gave me several options to either replace one part or that part plus some surrounding parts that may have been impacted. Honestly, I know when I take my Jeep there I may have to wait a little longer to get it back than some other places because their quality work and fair prices have made them busy and because they take their time to do it right, but I wouldnt take it anywhere else. The way they stand behind their work is great. They fixed my emergency brake almost 2 years ago and it began slipping again and they fixed it for free since they had done prior work on it.

Mike and Ruth have worked on 2 of my vehicles. They are honest, reliable, and dependable. Mike Shipman knows GM products like no one else and Ruth takes the time to treat customers like people, not numbers.

I was having a problem with my car shutting off and sometimes while I was driving it. My uncle recommended this shop and I am so glad he did. After going to several Nissan dealerships to find the problem they could never tell me why the car continue to shut off. I went to another shop and they could not find a problem. I finally took it to this shop and they not only fix the problem they also address other concerns as well. It has been over a year now and my car no longer shuts off. They do an amazing job and all of the staff are very professional and courtesy. I cannot thank them enough for the job they did on my car. I will be a repeat customer.

Took my vette in for an oil change & diagnostics on the A/C. From the moment I stepped in the shop, I knew Id made a good choice. Ruth explained everything they would do for the diagnostics, the hourly cost for it, etc. The team at Shipman kept me in the loop on what they found & what was needed to fix the A/C. Very fair cost, great service, very professional, no trying to get me to get service I didnt need. Plus, they let me know my brakes & rotors were due to be replaced, but no pressure to get the work done there. 100% recommend them.

Do not take your car here not sure who is giving all these high ratings but it cant be customers must be from inside.. I had my car go in for a tune up nothing more nothing less car was fine i get my car back next morning my radiator blows and in addition to the overpriced tuneup they took no responsibility for them doing faulty work causing radiator to blow next day cost me an extra 700 dollars because of faulty work they did not admit to. STAY AWAY STAY FAR FAR AWAY

If you are looking for a honest locally owned car service center for your car I urge you to give Shipman a try. They provide you all the repair/maintenance alternatives that fit you best. Im a car guy (cant fix em, but I like to buy and drive em) so it is nice I have a place that gives me great service.

Millers Automotive always likes to recognize top quality auto repair in the Orange Park area. Over the years I have only heard great things about the quality work and honesty of Shipman Auto Repair. If I am unable to complete a job because I am too busy to get to that day, I have always told the customer to drive up the road to Shipman Auto Repair. I know they will be well taken care off there.

Review №31

I was VERY pleased with Shipman auto Repair. They were very kind, courteous and most of all PROFESSIONAL with me. I had electrical work done on my car and they did an awesome job. The mechanic (Michael) took time to explain the issue with my car and to educate me on what was needed. Michael went above and beyond the scope of service to assure I was satisfied. I was a first time customer, very nervous and not trusting of repair shops. I can honestly say, this shop has earned my highest recommendation. Awesome work on my car and awesome customer service. Thank you so much!

This was the best experience I ever had a mechanic shop. Spoke to the owner and said it is family owned and operated business and totally felt that way from the minute I walked in. The entire staff was nice and the cleanest shop I have ever seen. I will never go anywhere else when I am in need of auto repair!!

I went to Shipman Auto on a gamble just from reading reviews online and I was not let down. From the moment I stepped foot in the office I felt welcome and respected. The customer service from Carolyn and Ruth was outstanding. When it came to work on my vehicle they were honest, did not pressure me to do any work, and let me make the decision. I truly felt like they cared. I will be coming here for all future vehicle needs.P.S. They also offer a military discount.

DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE!Awful customer service, drove so far to come to this shop only to tell me that my appointment wasnt made, I had waited all week for this appointment after talking to a gentleman on the phone. But the lady at the desk was so rude and refused to even try to help me.She shooed me off and embarrassed me in-front of other customers because “ I don’t see the appointment in our system !”

My tire blew out and GEICO had my car towed here. Turns out it isnt a tire place but they handled it with the greatest poise and level of service, despite the fact that they knew they werent getting any of my money. Both the scheduler and the owner personally apologized for not being able to help me, and guided me in getting me where I needed to go. Next time I need ANYTHING I will ask them first.

Review №37

Awful service, dropped my car off around 4 on a thursday to have my windshield wiper motor replaced, was assured that the repairs wouldnt take more than an hour and I would be able to come get it the next day, I called around noon that Friday and they said they were behind and that my car would be serviced next and they would call me back with an estimate, I waited over 3 hours and called them again and they told me they still hadnt taken a look at it because of complications encountered by their staff I attempted to call them a 3rd time at around 5 to let them know if i couldnt get an estimate in the next hour I would need to come get my car before they closed for the weekend and they wouldnt even pick up the phone. I drove up there and asked in person if they had a time frame for it to be finished and they said they had no idea, when I asked why there was such a gratuitous delay in the repairs the best response they could give was our guys got tied up so I asked for my keys back and left.In short, the staff was polite enough, but Ive gotten better service from a taco Bell drive through at 2AM

Review №41

Here is a place in Jacksonville where you can walk in and get an honest answer at what it is going to cost to get your car fixed. They do not pressure you for things that need to be fixed but are fine. The did a detailed inspection on our vehicle and gave us an updated estimate for parts and labor. The work quality and time it took to fix was good and not excessive as I have seen in the past.We had some family come into town from Ohio, about 5 miles from our house their vans front right caliper locked up and were stranded on the side of the road. Called Shipman and got it over to their shop where they were able to fix it right up with a few other little things like an oil change and brake line flush getting it ready to go back 1000 miles up north.Their shop is clean and workers are respectful. I really appreciate the work and effort that Mike and his crew puts in to every job! Thanks guys.

The fine people at Shipmans are the only ones I will trust with my Blue Betty.! Friendly AND knowledgeable office staff. Professional treatment,yet still warm. Treated me with respect and kindness and eased my worries. They really CARE about you and your cars safety. The mechanics are honest and thorough,and make sure you understand the whats and whys of your particular problems. I loved that I was taken back to the shop,where I could see with my own eyes while he was explaining the repairs that would need to be done. They even e-mailed me photos of the problem areas so I could enlarge them at home to see them better. To me,that is above and beyond good service.Upfront pricing and nothing is done that doesnt have your prior consent. The prices for their services are reasonable and affordable for me. The printout of projected future repairs with the prices was comforting,also. I know if I have a problem,they are a call away and will be glad to answer my questions. These are good people with good attitudes,and I will gladly drive past several repair shops to take my Betty to them. They took the time and the care that we both needed.

Excellent and trustworthy service. I found Ruth and Mike to be very friendly, fun and honest. Having my auto towed to the shop I expected the worse and was pleased when it turned out to be much less. I sprung for additional tune up work and now my 9-year old car runs as smooth as the day she left the dealership. Glad to find the best shop in town for my aging caddy.

Review №47

They are the best auto service establishment in all of Northeast Florida and possibly the U.S.A. Michael Shipman is an ASE certified mechanic for many years. His team provides the most honest opinion and best quality service.They are not the low price leader though provide the highest quality workmanship at the most reasonable price. Much less than a dealership, Shipman Auto Repair can save you hundreds off dealer prices and save you many headaches for work done by unskilled mechanics.Shipman Auto Repair is the only place I go and Recommend to Family and Friends.

As a retired auto technician with nearly 25 years working on Cadillac car line, I have known Mike Shipman personally for over 20 years and Mike has always been a patient and professional technician. He has sought the most updated training whenever possible. Honestly, if you need your car serviced or repaired, get the great folks at Shipman Auto Repair to give you a fair price and courteous attention.

Highly recommend!! My family was on a road trip when we ran into van trouble as we were passing through Jacksonville and needed to figure out what was wrong. I looked up good repair places and found Shipman... Thankfully. They were incredibly friendly, they helped me understand the problem. They fixed it quickly and at a reasonable price so we could get back on the road ASAP. Weve now made it home in DC and the van ran wonderfully. Thank you Shipman!

I heard good things about Shipmans from my tire shop (All Starz) and gave them a try. They were great from the moment I walked in the door. I was greeted warmly, met two of the mechanics and the shop manager. I had a great cup of coffee, vehicle promptly serviced and charged reasonably for the work performed.

Shipmans is definitely our #1 auto repair shop. Customer service is superb, going the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied with the work accomplished. Reasonable pricing plus the added benefit of people who sincerely care about helping the customer rather than squeezing an extra buck. This husband and wife team are phenomenal along with their experienced and professional mechanics. Theyll make you feel like family. Definitely give Shipmans the opportunity to impress you here in Orange Park!Thanks again Michael for taking care of our Tahoe.

This place is AWESOME. I had a broken cv axle, which took less than 2 days to repair, and was about 200$ less expensive than the other shops I had inquired at. They are a family owned business, and the ladies in the front are kind ladies, absolute sweethearts. Its clean and they explain everything in detail and dont talk down to you (my grandfather owns a car shop, but still people act like you think blinker fluid is real). They even have handwritten thank youenvelopes for your receipt. Fantastic service. Highly recommened.

Just AWESOME: I drive a 2006 CTS cadilac and it put me down September 21. I had my car towed to shipman auto on that day. My car was shaking, skipping, smoking and cutting off. My car was not drive-able. Shipman auto had my car ready for pick-up the next day. I needed my electrical coils replaced, break work, and points replaced along with some other tibits the mechanic did to help my car run better.. My car is driving like a BRAND NEW car. I am very pleased. Mike worked on my car.The last part of my experience was a courtesy call from from one of the owners (Ruth) asking how was my car driving. LOVE IT!!! AWESOME customer service.

I was super impressed with this repair facility and with the napa auto care warranty. We are a military family and had the compressor replaced at a napa certified facility in Virginia before moving to Texas. We were in florida visiting family and right before leaving the ac went out again less than a year later. I took it to Shipman auto repair, another napa certified shop and they replaced the compressor quickly and under warranty with no additional cost to me. The new compressor even has a new year warranty starting today. I was skeptical if the warranty would ever benefit us with us moving so much but now Im a believer. Very please. Shipman is also a woman owned and operated business and it shows with their hospitality and cleanliness. If we lived here we would take it here for all our auto repair problems. Thanks, yall.
