Good quick work for a check engine light resulting in a broken valve. Took a single day and was back on the road. Really appreciated the list of recommended fixes so I could look at prioritizing and budgeting my Jeeps repairs. Friendly and professional team.
These guys are very good and honest mechanics. Fantastic job gentleman! Thank you for your expertise and expedited services!
Friendly folks, but extremely over priced services. Went to a different repair shop in the area and save $4000 and got a better warranty
I am very impressed with Jays total car Care. I came in with some vehicle issues. They got me in quickly, took care of the problem and communicated with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Jays for all of your automotive needs.
These people tried to do me so wrong all i had was a bad cv axel they told me i have a differential leak steeering rack leak bad suspension everything in the book to get more money out of me do not use these mechanics they are scams. the only reason id even give them one star is for the front desk guy hes nice professional and well kept
Fast work, great price, and super clean shop. Place doesnt look like much from outside, if you blinked youd drive right by.
The shifter cable went out my car they told me over the phone they wouldn’t be able to look at until Thursday but let me tell you how quickly they work!!! I got my car back on Thursday and it cost less than they quoted me I will never take my cars anywhere else thanks you guys 😊😊😊
I brought in a 2018 Jeep Compass that was having power and module issues along with a battery that kept dying. They did what they could and go it back up and running so I could get it to Jeep who then got the parts needed and warranty repairs done. If I have any other issues with my vehicles I will bring it here if its not under warranty. They didnt lie about what was wrong and did what they could to help. Would recommend all day everyday. Thanks guys.
The team at Jays Total Car Care were amazing! The communication and services were great! My car is safe again for my little fam! Thank you 🙏 😊
I got the pleasure of working with Bill and James. They were very professional made me feel at ease I brought my car in for a check engine light had a couple of issues with it they took care of it in about a day. I’m gonna need some more work done on the car and I plan on using them again. Can’t wait to work with them again clean kind and friendly staff. When I told them I need brakes done they told me that they would work with me. Which being a single parent makes me feel at ease.😃
Owner jay is not a man of his word he told me he would pay for the tow truck coming back and he didn’t Want to work on my Roush mustang Because I was bringing in my own parts and he couldn’t make $20 profit on the mark up so he left my car out in the middle of the intersection and just Just his hands he left my collectible cars in the middle of the street dirty shame I mean who would do that these days we’re going through a pandemic his friend was also admiring my motor in the middle of the street and that got me upset
Always friendly, candid and provide reliable repairs and maintenance on my older vehicle
They was so friendly and knew what the problem was and fixed the issues as needed got us help super fast and taking care of even though we lived out of town traveling Highly recommend this company for all needs.
I had them look at my car and they were really nice to me and told me what was wrong with my car and showed me pictures of the things that have to be replace on my car and showed me how much it would be for all the repairs
The folks at Jays are friendly, professional and very proficient. They took in my vehicle on a Friday afternoon. It needed fuel injectors, plugs, and a coil cap. They had the entire job done and the vehicle back to me in 3 HRS and the had the best price of any other shop. I highly recommend this shop these guys are awesome I will be a customer for life. Thank you
Best Automotive repair business I have been at in 40yrs, every single technician there was great, I was stranded from out of the area, they diagnosed what the problem was, even I with a mechanical background didnt know what was wrong, and they got me back on the road in a reasonable time and cost. Would drive two hours to have them fix anything I have.
Great shop to go to for auto repair highly recommended to everybody to go to..
Sorry guys, I definitely wouldnt go back here. My husband went here for a muffler exhaust install quote, the guy quoted me a horribly high unreasonable price. He acted like he really didnt care if I selected them and the place was a ghost town. I will never go back. The guy down the street was cheaper and did a great job! Im not sure why we even stopped in- should have known when they didnt answer the phone.
This place is amazing! I was referred after taking my car to numerous mechanics in the area. I have an older car which requires a lot of maintenance. These people were so professional, honest and gave me a great deal.I highly recommend this auto shopI was referred by Corey McCullough
Very happy and will continue going forward with car issues. This place. Rocks!!
Honest. Reliable. Fast friendly service.
Great service! These guys were quick and efficient and made me feel at ease. I will def use these guys in the future. The staff was extremely helpful and knew their job.
Awful! $7000.00 for a new motor. Basic 351W Ford. He fired the so-called tech that did it. Nothing but problems with them.
Love this place, James is a fantastic mechanic and his team is great. Ive been going to this place since it opened and have had a lot of work done and every time they do a fantastic job and walk me through all repairs step by step.
Worst place to go for automotive repair they will take you for everything they can
I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED TO SAY THE VERY LEAST!!!! I WAS RECENTLY STRANDED IN RENO AFTER PURCHASING A BAD CAR FROM SOME PISA IN BAKERSFIELD FOR 5K!!!!!! I TOLD THESE GUYS WHAT I WAS GOING THRU AND THAT I HAD ALREADY TAKEN A $5000 LOSS. I JUST NEEDED THEM TO FIX MY CAR. IM HOMELESS AND I HAVE STRUGGLED AND TAKEN LOSSES MY ENTIRE LIFE. I TRUSTED THEM TO HELP ME AND THOUGHT THEY WERE GENUINELY GOOD GUYS!!! $1700 LATER AND NOT EVEN A WEEK FROM THE TIME I GOT MY VEHICLE FROM THE SHOP AND MY CAR IS STILL BROKEN!!!! FOR $1700 THEY SUPPOSEDLY CHANGED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND OIL. WHICH I HAVE NO STICKER WITH MILEAGE ON MY WINDSHIELD. THEY SUPPOSEDLY RAN DIAGNOSTIC ON MY ENTIRE CAR!!! MY CAR IS WORSE NOW THAN IT WAS PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO THEM. THEY CHARGED ME $1700 TO CHANGE MY ROTORS AND BREAKS AND FLUIDS!!!!! I DONT ADVISE ANY WOMEN TO GO THERE IF YOUR NOT WITH A MAN. THEY LITERALLY DID A TEMPORARY FIX AND DID NO DIAGNOSTIC AT ALL. AT THIS POINT IM READY TO GO TO THE BBB OR SOMETHING!!! I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED. THIS WILL NOT BE THE END OF MY REVIEWS. THIS HAS COMPLETELY ALTERED MY LIFE FOR THE WORST. NOTHING GOOD HAS COME OF MY EXPERIENCE WITH THEM.
Wonderful mechanic, great knowledge will recommend
This place is great! I’m new in town and was searching for a new mechanic and was really hesitant since I always get ripped off. But these guys were very honest and knowledgeable and were able to fix my issue in just 2 hrs for a really decent price. Now my car feels like a race car and I’m so happy! Thanks Bill and Jay ^_^P.S.Parking is a lil funky. Down the alley or motorcycles up front.
These guys made time for me and were diligent in finding out what was wrong and how to fix it. Unfortunately it was work that could only be done by dealership. Professional and courteous and honest are words to describe this company
Very nice workers and great at there jobs
I really know nothing about cars but knew something was up with my brakes when I called this morning. So I was very thankful they could squeeze me in today! The staff explained everything to me and did their best to keep my brake job affordable. Thank you guys so much!!
Jay, Bill, and Sheridan were amazing and very nice I would recommend Jays to everyone. They have always treated me great
Im really so grateful.... I was very worried... about my car and when I found out I could get it towed that day.... and after talking to.the staff....I just felt alot better..... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you...and the car is driving wonderful..... Very happySee you for my next oil change...
Great group of guys. Marco worked on my Mercedes and did a great job. I liked his attitude because he wants to be the best, and that is what I strive for to.I am extremely picky about my car ( of course) so I read reviews, talked to the owner Jay who is very nice as well. I‘m glad that I feel like I can trust or reason with them. Now a days most service businesses ( auto repair, doctors, veterinarians, oil changing places, dentist, chiropractors etc have lost sight of caring about the people. Instead sometimes I feel it’s all about separating you from you wallet. It’s pretty unfortunate. So I wanted to leave this review for those people who feel the same as me. Yes, I had a good experience at this shop and will return for more services as I need
My wife has an 1991 fxlr harley needed work done jay and his crew were awesome made her very happy thanks guys
This was the worst mechanic experience i have ever had. when i came in i presented them with the engine service codes and they refused to look at them and said, dont worry well diagnose it. not once did they mention that there was any kind of cost involved. not one word about it. they tried to charge me over $1000 to replace a $100 fuel pump. when i refused to let them absolutely rob me, they charged me $120 for diagnostic before they would give me the car back. just to top off the experience, sheradan downs the service writer pretty much acted like he wanted to fight me or something the whole time. it was weird and i wouldnt wish this experience on even my enemies.
Holy cow. I was looking for a reliable, straight forward mechanic and thats exactly what I found at Jays. I needed an engine replacement, which very much so stressed me out and they made it such an easy experience. Marco was extremely efficient and timely with getting the work done and very professional with his work. The two gentlemen up front (I want to say Kevin and Bill?) were always keeping me updated and very friendly. Jay even emailed me about working on getting it done.All around great experience and I wouldnt go anywhere else. These guys have my business
Great customer service, fast service and processing where reasonable. My husband takes his car in tomorrow for an inspection. Would highly recommend them.
There were some positive moments with my experience here, mainly the manager Bill, hes fantastic. I know they tried to help but overall Im dissatisfied with my experience. I dont want to post too long a review so Ill give just this example. While my car was there I had to purchase 2 new tires. The employee who was my main contact told me the tire size to get, I texted him that the tire stores were insisting my car took a different size, and I had seen at least one of the tires on the car was that size. He insisted all four were another size. So I spent twice as much money to get that size because I figured the mechanic would know best. Upon picking up the car the owner tells me, you know you got tires that are too big for the car so one of them rubs on the wheel housing and makes a sounds but dont worry about it. ?!@%$! I came to find the employee who insisted on the tire size is neither licensed nor certified. $253 for two new tires and the car makes an absolutely horrendous sound when I turn left. Furthermore, the car is RWD and I bought 2 brand new tires of the same size, yet they sent me home with one new tire on each axle, and the rear axle had the two differently sized tires. The owner told me I could come back and theyd switch two tires to stop the sound, but when I went in I felt that he was short with me and definitely felt an unfriendly vibe from everyone except Bill, who again was genuinely pleasant to work with. I usually go to Ricks total car care but was impatient and decided to try this place instead. 🤦♀️🤷 Obviously I cant say whether Ricks wouldve done a better job in this case but Ive always been happy with them before.
I really had a great experience with these people. I had an older vehicle with a few issues and they took the time to explain my options and stop the endless fix it that come with older vehicles. I like my truck and feel comfortable taking it in for work that needs done. Thanks to you all.
Very fast service
The front end of my truck needed to be rebuilt. Every shop I called quoted me over a week to get it done. I called Jay’s Total Car Care and talked to Sheradan, they had me in and out overnight and were absolutely wonderful to me. I’ve already referred at least two other people and highly recommend this shop.
They were professional and helped save me money. I will be going back for more repairs.
Awesome guys here. They do too quality work at a good price. Highly recommend
I had issues with my clutch not long after buying my car, these guys had the part and the work done in less than two days and I was back driving. Now my car drives really smooth and it was hard to shift before, would definitely recommend their business
Everyone was so friendly and helpful in explaining what my cars needs were. They went above and beyond customer service. I needed a ride to and from their shop which they offered.... I would highly recommend them for your vehicle repairs or service!!T
I had to make a return trip and they finaly found the poblem they took care of me right away fast and friendly, I highly recommend jays.
I took my vehicle here for an inspection and after seeking a second opinion from a NAPA Certified mechanic I came to the conclusion that James, or “Jefe” as he was called by other employees, not only lied to my face but blew everything out of proportion in order to get money from me. He said that I would need over six thousand dollars worth of repairs on my vehicle. He said my vehicle was unsafe and I’d better ware my seat belt. He promised a free diagnostic inspection, but insisted on charging me fifty dollars afterwards.I wouldn’t recommend this repair shop because of the possibility of being lied to and over charged for unnecessary work. I didn’t receive any actual work so I cannot review the quality of work that they provide. They may provide high quality results, but if it’s way over priced... what’s the point if you can get the same results somewhere else?
The best service I could ever ask for I went to one car place and they did a half fast job and I went to jays and they helped me out my runs so much better. Thank you
Needed my ac replaced and jays got it done at a unbeatable price and faster then I expected it to take thank you guys so much for the amazing job you all have done. Definitely going to spread your name round town !
They did a great job installing a set of chains on my work vehicle to get me home safe. They made sure I knew how to safely drive with chains on and were also very knowledgeable to answer all questions I had!
It’s rare to find this level of honest, professional mechanics in this world- especially as a single female. I feel these guys are not only trustworthy, but also, they know what they are doing, and will give an honest recommendation.
They are professional and great mechanics. The work done came back under-quote and in the time frame they gave me. I was impressed with the transparency of the whole shop. Great place!
My car was in this shop for about 5 weeks. After 4 weeks in the shop they make me pay another deductible (2 deductible payments total) saying my battery is no good. When i drove it to the shop it was working jus fine. Then they added 3 more parts to my car and statement. They claimed they gave my car a wash because it was in their shop for so long but when i picked it up it was dirtier than when i dropped it off. Not happy with how i was treated as a customer
When more than 6,000 miles from home and in need of a truck mechanic, reviews were what we used to find Jays Total Car Care and were glad we read them. We had a complicated, potentially very dangerous issue with our front and rear differentials in our Dodge 2500 Ram. Pinion and carrier bearings needed to be replaced. James and his crew (Bill, Paul, and Kevin) were courteous and professional in diagnosing and completing the repairs properly and to our satisfaction and relief. We have no doubt they would be our go to shop if the need arose again. Great guys, great shop, and great customer service.
Very good . Everyone was very helpful and explain what was the problem with the car n fix it on time i will tell everyone go to jays total care
The guys were super friendly and got me in right away. They let me know what needed to be done and followed through. Great service!
Jays Total Auto Care booked me in I had sort of an emergency situation with a front axle and they got me in and repaired it their price was very good they were very professional and the service was a very high quality I would use them again.
DO NOT USE Jays Total Car Care! I found them through Google and figured Id give them a chance. Boy, was that an expensive mistake.I agreed to have some service performed, but after I called around and received quotes from three other shops at 50-70% less than Jays, I decided to go elsewhere. When I called Jays to cancel, they had already ordered the parts, which isnt a big deal, so I said I would pay for the parts they ordered and that I would skip the service. The owner refused to cancel the appointment (it was a week away), and he was excessively forceful that because I agreed to have the service done, I had to pay for the parts and labor even though no labor had been done.Because I was being forced to pay for a service that hadnt been done yet, I went ahead and had them install the parts, but that is the last time I will ever come here. They obviously spent an incredible amount to have a bunch of tech in the shop, driving up their prices, and Ive never seen them busy... which is probably the largest indicator that you should go somewhere else.
Car broke down at night. Called jay in the morning, he was able to get it in quickly and diagnose it even quicker. Great experience overall
Only place in town that was able to quickly get my company truck in and looked at. Had it diagnosed and fixed within an hour. Will be returning.
Jay was my mechanic, he was knowledgeable and very informative . Plus he was super nice, We would recommend Jays Total Car Care to everyone
I have to say. The guys at Jays Total Car Care in Sparks are Just the best. They finished my moms car today. Said it would be Tuesday. But got it done today. Just wanted to give them a shout out and say thanks.
Jays Total car care these guys good work!!!they replace my fuel pump in my 99 jeep and quoted me a price and stuck to it this guys are trust worthy and I will be useing there service Agian.
I have nothing but respect for Jays Modified Motors and all the gentlemen who work there. I brought my car there after a poor experience at another shop, Jay handled the situation with professionalism and made my experience simple despite the stress of having a broken vehicle. Everyone I spoke to over the phone was polite and always made me feel like a valued customer. Thank you for all that you guys did for me, I will continue to being you my business and also spread the word about your fantastic shop to everyone I know.
James and his team are wonderfully professional, actually explain whats going on and I was able to walk out without the usual mechanic shop feeling of being ripped off. They have worked on both my Mercedes and BMW without any problems!
I was having issues with my car not starting and didn’t know who to go to so I looked up mobile mechanics and found Jay’s Modified Motors and figured I would give them a call. Right from the get go they were professional and put my mind at ease. James and Rick came to my house and did a full diagnostic and it turned out to be my starter. They got it done same day and made it affordable. They were very personable and upfront and honest with me about everything. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs quality work done
Jays Total Car Care is very appreciated by me.... I am from out of state and was looking for a good mechanic to help with my current needs, they met all my expectations and would totally recommend them to anyone else...thanks!!!
Let me start off by saying they are very nice guys, however when given a quote for a $100 diagnostic, I came back and the total had jumped to $250 because they went ahead and did work on the car without calling me for my approval. Due to the total jumping to over double what I was quoted I simply recommend more contact with customers before working on their cars.
Great service and Staff referred to from CarMax..will be back .
Top notch. Bill and his crew really did an amazing job on my car. Friendly guys with the expertise to get things done.
Very friendly and personable staff. They are honest, and straight forward. They answered all my questions and give very fair estimates( no upselling). They helped me out same day, no appnt needed. Very knowledgeable of Subarus. And they get jobs done very quickly! And that is very important to me, when time is an issue.
They did a great job finished it way ahead of time considering what work it needed water pump and other things that needed to be replaced finished it way ahead of time work looks good so far and I do trust their work
This is THE shop to bring your rig in Reno/Sparks. We stopped in after finishing the Rubicon Trail and needed them to look at a scraping sound coming from the front end. Jay saw us within a couple hours of calling- diagnosed what was going on and got us back on the road! I highly recommend these guys!
Our car broke down on a weekend driving through Reno. While I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the car, James, one of the mechanics, was helping a customer nearby and came over to see if I needed help. He did a quick once over and found the problem to our transmission. Great experience!
Car broke down in Truckee on Super Bowl Sunday of all times. While nobody else was available, Jay was willing and ready to assist us. He was not only very knowledgeable with our engine problems, which unfortunately needed a major engine overhaul, but was willing to get us to the nearest car rental dealer so we could get back home. He went above and beyond in my book, and we are grateful for his service and kindness. Would highly recommend Jay’s service.
I dont appreciate getting lied to so you can make a quick expensive sale. 3200 and car still isnt running. You definitely wont get my business again. Best of luck to other people hope they get taken advantage of like I was.
All though I have not had them do any work on my car, their wealth of knowledge and extensive desire to help has been amazing. I highly recommend them and this is coming from another shop owner, as I own another mobile repair business.
James is the best mechanic I’ve found so far. Really knows what he’s doing when it comes to all things car related! Even helped change some parts on my car IN THE POURING RAIN! wouldn’t trust anyone else.
Super nice guys and fair prices
Friendly people. My family and I had to have our vehicle serviced on a trip across the country after breaking down. They were very informative and got the work done as soon as possible so we could be on our way.
Stay away. The guy lied to me and over charged me big time without getting my aporoval, classic shady mechanic practice. Ill never go there again and we dont recommend him. Check out his facebook reviews, we will filing a complaint with BBB. What a shame.
My fiancé took her 1989 Cadillac Deville for a free assessment in which she was charged $52.89. She was told that her car was in great shape and she shouldn’t get rid of it she should fix it and have these untrustworthy mechanics do the work. They told her they could fix her air conditioner for $50 and then came back in and told her it was $350 after they had already done it. They also told her that her compressor with last at least 1 to 2 more years. She was not able to drive her vehicle off of their property before the AC completely failed. Also she was told that she needed to fix her transmission that day or it could ruin her vehicle. Supposedly they changed the gasket and fixed the leak. They charged her $24.54 per quart of transmission fluid and said it was 8 quarts. She could not even drive the car home after paying. The next day I went down there with her and she drove it home with a failed AC compressor and the transmission leak is 10 times worse than it ever was previously. I was furious and called J at Jay’s modified motors and Jay’s total car care where they were happy to inform me that Tanya was screwed and her AC failure is on her not on the work they did or what they told her. Also he said that the transmission was not leaking and that he did not do a flush he just change the gasket. I was quite upset and he told me that he would pay for the towing and take a second look at the transmission . The car was towed there where I am guaranteeing that they did not look at it. They told Tanya there was no leak and that she wasfull of •••• .Upon her arrival home not even within five minutes I had massive puddles of transmission fluid on the cardboard underneath the car. These mechanics are liars they charge you for things that they don’t do and I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. We are going to pursue a civil action against them as well as contracting the Better Business Bureau I have several pictures to prove my statements but am unable to post them on this reviewThis company is so shady that they just threatened us with court because we posted honest reviews
Had to stop on my way from Colorado to California when my car started having issues.Jay went above and beyond to help me out.Extremely nice people who know what they’re doing.
Jay was honest quick service good. Front desk manager friendly. Thanks Jay. Lady with white Dodge journey
Dakota in Rick are very very good at what they do they helped me bring my 1974 Ford F 100 back to life very knowledgeable. Went way above and beyond to help me out and I will forever be in debt to these mechanics
They put tire cables on my car 11/30/19. They came off just a couple hundred yards after getting back onto the freeway. After leaving a review on Square, they left an email for me to call them. After calling and telling them what happened and how some Caltrans guys came by to see what happened. Caltrans stood there and watched while I figured out how to put the cables back on. They said I could not move my car until the cables were back on, and if I didnt hurry they would have my car towed. Jays only offered to install chains next time for free! Really!? They couldnt do it right the first time! Why would I let them do it a second time. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I would not recommend their service! Stay far away from them!!
EDIT: Now these guys are liars too because I DID NOT sign ANYTHING but the receipt AFTER you forced me to pay you. I invite you, Jays Modified Motors, to post a photo of this supposed signed invoice.These guys completely lack communication with their customers as well as with each other. I had my car towed to them per recommendation of the tow truck driver (who told me not to listen to any mechanic that said I would need a new engine) and Rick called me a few hours later asking for authorization to open up my vehicle for $200 because they suspected a problem with the engine. I immediately told them not to work on my car because I wanted to call someone first and I would get back to them. I knew that if there was anything wrong with the engine, I would not be able to afford it and I wasnt sure I wanted to pay $200 for them to tell me I couldnt fix my car. Well, they went ahead and worked on my car anyway. After disputing with James about whether or not I did give authorization, he told me he would have to pull phone records and we would speak the next day. I walked into the shop the next day and Rick told me phone records were actually not accessible at all and that I had to pay the $200 or they would keep my car. I am not happy with these guys at all and I regret listening to the tow guy who recommended them.
Jay knows what he is doing, and can admit when he isnt familiar with a particular system, and didnt try to take advantage of the fact that I didnt know much about my particular hybrid either. Great service, glad to use his services again.
If you are looking for a honest and reliable auto shop well here it is!
Worst car repair shop ever! Spent 1800$ after over the tenth time, I had to come back. I was told to go somewhere else. Not enough room to explain how horrible. If you like being taken advantage of, this is your place!
Awesome place!! Highly recommend everyone get their service done here for their vehicles, if you want the job done right!
Great customer service
Great service!
Hats off to Dakota! My van broke down in Reno early evening. He moved the car to his garage where he proceeded to repair the ignition lock and starter. It was after hours and knowing my need to return to California early morning, Dakota worked on my car through the midnight hours allowing me to leave Reno at 2:30am for which I am truly grateful.
Excellent service of my tractor at my ranch.
Great guys, fair prices, and thorough mechanics!
I give this guy a zero, he just said he would pass on fixing my fuel pump....I recommend you do not go through this guy!!!!!!!!
I am pretty rough with all four of my vehicles and james is the only person i call to fix my cars they are the best and honest which is a huge bonus
