We blew out a tire and AAA directed us and our tow driver to S & J. What a great experience! The owner, John, is a truly good person. He and his team put our minds at ease re: potential other damage and got us back on the road. If I was local to that area, he would be my go-to mechanic. Thank goodness for S & J!

Make sure you knowledgeable about what you need done because these people will take something small and do it the hardest way just to run up a bill.

Wow! Those guys really know what they are doing. I had gone to several auto places on the Highway 85 corridor, but they made assertions that could not keep. John took care of business for me today. Thanks for helping me out with my light.

All I can say is these people know what they are doing and good at explaining your problem that you are having with your car very professional I will recommend this place to anybody

Very unprofessional! Owner John, decided to leave my car sitting in his shop for a few days without fixing it, or contacting me to let me know he had no intentions on fixing it until I arrived a week later to check in on the car. John excuse was he didn’t want to email my insurance company his estimate. He wanted the insurance company to physically come out and view his estimate because according to him he “had things to do” so, he didn’t comply with the insurance and my car sat for days waiting on him, so the insurance company wouldn’t move forward and cut him the check.The unprofessional owner John real issue was that he found out an family member of mine worked for an specific company, he asked for an discount from the family member in exchange for a cheaper cost to fix my car. That offer was denied! So, he choose to be funny and play around with my car and not comply with the insurance company. My car was never fixed! We got into an verbal dispute because of the issue and he called 911 to report false accusations stating I was trespassing, and tried to assault him.He is disgusting.. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO HIS SHOP! It’s his way or the highway! My car will be fixed one way or another (by a professional) and he still don’t get his discount! :)

Anybody in the Atlanta or surrounding area I deff recommend! John and the crew was very supportive and helped me every step of the way with my Chevy Malibu !! If you need any repairs I deff recommend John & the crew at s&j forsure!

Great service and great price

Driving from FL to WI and suffered a failed front wheel bearing on Sunday afternoon. AAA had to van towed to S&J on Sunday night. John from S&J called me sharp at 8:00 AM on Monday to get the details. They had the problem diagnosed, the parts delivered & installed, and had us on the road again Monday afternoon. John kept me posted throughout the day while they were working so we could plan our departure. The cost was less than we expected. Cant say enough good about John and the folks at S&J..

Worse mechanics in riverdale. Don’t come here.

Excellent people. .they fixed my car in no time and corrected the mostakes another mechanic made

I have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata and I was having a bad oil leak. Took my car there and they was able to find the problem give me a reasonable and affordable price and 2 hours later no more oil leak for me. Thank you guys so much

Drove my vehicle there for a diagnostic but got it back not working and had to have it towed away. Unbelievable!

I had trouble with my hyundai sonata, and the owner was very thorough and honest. He will not just take your money, he will tell you exactly what needs to be done. Hes also very reasonable!

They were quick and efficient

Honest, Reliable Service if he says it can be fixed it gets repaired on time for the quoted price.

Excellence is the only description that encompences the work given by this auto shop.

Very unprofessional, broke apart on my car while repairing it, car is still not running right, overpriced unprofessional very bad representation for Riverdale overpriced, extremely unprofessional, my car is still not running correctly, they even broke a part while they were repairing my car and made me go out and get another part and charged me for it, this is the worst representation of Riverdale and doing business with Riverdale

Did an excellent job on my Cadillac

This place is great and the owner is very friendly and he holds a great conversation. He cares about getting your car fixed and back on the rode. He wouldnt let me pull off in my car to go home to get my wallet because he didnt want me to make car worse then What I was because of a bad antifreeze leak. LOL. those guys in that shop are good and if anything else happens to my 2013 rt dodge challenger I will be taking my car back there to get fixed again❤❤❤ keep up the awesome work guys

John is very straight up on whats Wrong with the car. He does not try to get over on the price

They do great work, customer service was amazing and their professionalism was outstanding.

Best auto place in riverdale been coming here 12 years now!!!

Absolutely LOVE the service and knowledge at S & J! Haven’t driven my 9-3 in a minute so had some work done - Ms Theresa is on top of it and has a personality, guts and fire! Didn’t know that the guy on the highway actually thew white paint from his cup on my friends car as he stood on the side of the highway. Omgish, we were in shock but Ms Theresa moves like a fire engine. There we were scrubbing paint off the side of the car - she had gathered soap, a sock and powerful water hose. Shelly her daughter joined us, just as shocked as we were as we had formed this instant Cool Girls Club and Mama Theresa was our SuperLady Leader.

I highly recommend S&J Automotive. My experience here was a blessing. I came here for a second opinion about my car on why it was shaking when I put on brakes. The first company gave me a long list of things that were causing the problem and gave me a quote of over $4,000 and said I needed a new car. John, the owner of S&J, gave me a quote of 1 tenth of what the dealer quoted and my car is driving better now than it has for years. I am so grateful for S&J and their honesty, fairness, reasonableness and great customer service.

TERRIBLE PLACE!! RUDE OWNER AND HES A LIAR!! He wouldn’t give me proof of what he did to my vehicle because he did it for free solely due to the fact that he left early in Friday and no one worked on my truck until monday because the owner (John) did not tell his employees why it was there!! I received 0 phone calls. I had to contact them about my truck. Owner told gave me false info on what he did to my vehicle. When I dropped off the truck I told him the issue and he did nothing but replace bulbs that I told him kept blowing. I had to call the police just to get proof of the work he did for court. REALLY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Doesn’t even deserve 1 star !

I had to pay for my part in cash at almost 400 percent price. It was a bad part and I had to go back the next day to get it fixed. I know no company is perfect, but I am very uncomfortable about this business.

I went to this shop to have my air conditioner serviced. Dee was very helpful with understanding my initial concern. He quoted me a fair price and had my a.c. back working in no time. I was very please with the quality of service at S&J Automotive. I would highly recommend them.

Mr. John & his Staff are a BLESSING in car repair & every FEMALE, who needs a HONEST shop to bring your CAR, please come to S & J Automotive in Riverdale!!!! J.

John is amazingly fair and honest! I take all my mechanic work to S & J in Riverdale. You should do the same.

Very service oriented

I don’t recommend them. They are very unprofessional, they try to charge to much for simple things . They fixed my car 2 days ago and it’s still messed up, they rude and very disrespectful. They tried to make me pay again after 2 days when they were the ones that messed up my car . I rate them a 2

S & J replaced my fuel pump a month ago. It was expensive, yet very necessary to keep my car going strong. I appreciate them being in the neighborhood. Though I hope not to have the occasion to visit them often, I may definitely be a repeat customer. I pray that they grow and continue in doing good works.

My 2005 chevy Tahoe continued to overheat, i took my vehicle to S&J because of the close proximity of my residence, after they performed a diagnostic on my vehicle and the owner came into the customer waiting area visibly upset because the radiator exploded on him, he proceeded to tell me i had blown head gaskets, and one of my fans wasnt even working. Then was told $3500 for new engine. I definitely found that hard to believe so i took car to another repair shop, they replaced lower waterpump hose and removed air pockets in the lines, now im up and running for $110.00 please get second opinions it can keep u moving for a lot less

Very friendly courteous service!!

My first time getting my car repaired. John was so polite and he cares about his customers he is very reasonable. John is also a member of my church and I will use him again I dont mind traveling from Hampton to Riverdale.

I took my car there to get checked out Before I sign an application paper they got in my car and drove my car inside. I came back and my car was down the hill in walmart parking lot unlocked. They left my window down and It rained in my car then I was told they are going to declinemy services when I ask them about my window. They were very unprofessional told me my car was at another shop loudly and rude. I apologized on my behalf and left.

I took my car to this shop because my engine light was on. The owner had it tested and stated it was due to misfiring and that I needed a tune up. He stated that there was a 90 day warranty. I agreed to have service done. The very next day my engine light came on again. Took it back. He was very rude, and when he finally had his mechanic to check, it tested the same thing, misfiring. He tested himself, same thing, misfiring. He refused to honor the warranty after charging me $432.00 for parts and labor. I took the car to Oriellys, they tested it, same thing, misfiring and testing showed I needed a tune up which they were suppose to do. He didnt honor the warranty and stated it has to be something else because we changed the plugs and flat out refused to honor the warranty.

AAA approved auto shop. He is a very nice man and worked on our 2002 Pt cruiser. He had it fixed within a few hours and has been running good ever since. Definitely a good place to go.

Professional and thorough. Only charge you for what you ask. Advise you for anything else, no surprises.

I dont understand why the comments are so negative regarding this facility. I have not had one problem with these guys. Always friendly and the brother saved me $400 for a switch that needed to be replaced when pep boys wanted to switch out the whole device.

Hes my go to mechanic

Trusted the owner to not give me the shaft on car repairs

They refused to work on my car! What kind of repair shop does that?

Excellent service and best prices!

They are very friendly and fair in price. They have worked on all my cars and if I brought in the part it was fairly inexpensive with same day service. I would recommend them to anyone (especially being a woman) who wants an honest mechanic with fair prices.

Went to get my car serviced and it was exceptional. Will definitely do business with them in the future.-Keyia Fuquan

This is the place to go for auto repairs. Very trustworthy and reasonable prices. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

I just waisted 50usd for nothing. Brought my car in to check am oil leak and John basically said it would 10k to fix it .. But he didnt really tell me exactly whats going on with it. He didnt sound like he knows what he is talking about either . I will try to get a second opinion. He didnt make any sense to me .

Love this place, friendly people and great service.

FOLKS! DONT GO HERE! Ive never had issues with any auto shops that has serviced my cars! BUT John(owner) is the most unprofessional rude person Ive encountered in a while! Everything is great except when u ask questions! Also his towing acct has priority over the customer! My car has been there for 4 full days with NO calls.....I had to call him! I take pride in my cars and I ask questions. He doesnt like to explain things and treats you like trash. If you dont ask questions.......your good!******I will NEVER come back******

Good service

They were timely and very thorough.....

My go to mechanic.

Always awesome service and a fair price

Fast and efficient services! Recommended!

Declined to have them fix my car because owners customer service is horrible!!! AAA should really reconsider granting this shop their approval. I try to support black owned businesses but never again will I waste my time!!!

What I dont like is when I am spending money with someone, and they give me a list of what they are not going to do on top of all his excuses. They have very poor customer service, but unfortunately they do not know any better. I totally regret spending my money here!!!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!

Good service..referred by AAA as membet

The best auto shop on the planet. Very honest.

Went there because aaa suggested I take my car there to get my gear shift fixed ... they did a good job

The ad is fake, dont mess with this ghetto repair shop. You will be disappointed.

THE OWNER IS RUDE AS HELL! He will over charge you and not explain in detail what’s wrong with your damn car ! Please I know this is a AAA dealership but this is NOT THE PLACE TO GO!

John and Deacon are great Americans and mechanics

Great customer service.

I called them to come to change my car tire. They ere very prompt and showed up an hour later.

Horrible customer service. Lets just say; I had to give a rating ; Otherwise would have rated ZERO!!! They quoted $688, I got the job done at Benefield for $471...

I can in to get my car checked he said I needed brake brakes I went and purchase brakes and two days later my brake started making the same sound and I was told I needed rotors and because I didn’t get them at the same time not knowing I need new brakes again I ask the owner why I wasn’t told I needed rotors too he stated we only do what you tell us to do so I will never recommend or return again bad service

Honest quick accurate

Good mechanics.

Great service

Beware.
