J and B auto was a life saver! My transmission totally died and I stumbled across J and B Transmission & Auto Repair! I called and spoke with Jafar. He listened as I asked a million questions! He was able to confidently answer all of the questions!As they kept my vehicle to do the repairs, he was in constant contact.I stopped in to see my disassembled transmission, and happy to see how clean he was able to get it and to see the new internals they were going to install. They rebuilt my transmission (as requested) and it has been driving like new every since. He still keeps in touch to make sure everything is ok.THEY WILL DO THE JOB RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! A very good personable experience. Use them and see for yourself :)
This place is excellent! I do most of my own work, but with my daughter being at Northwestern and me in NY i needed to find a reliable fair mechanic to do some major (Tranmission and rear seal) work on my daughters car. Jafar was more than fair, and he did an excellent job on my daughters car. I recommend his shop for all work!
This has to be one of most honest mechanics Ive ever worked with. Most people wont touch VW but they took on the challenge. J & B will be my go to spot for all my future repairs!
Very satisfied with J & B very fast hard working people
Last summer I broke down around the corner from J&B, barely got my car started again, pulled up out front and died. They helped me push my car into place. Then they replaced the alternator, very quickly. Very nice people.THEN 3 weeks later, the replacement alternator (rebuilt, not new—as is standard) died! Smoke pouring out of my car. I got towed back to J&B. It was *pouring* buckets of rain, after hours, but they came out and helped me get settled. Then replaced it with a *new* alternator for free. Not sure how they did this, must have cost them quite a bit, since I initially only paid for a refurbished alternator. Very quick and professional.These people will take care of you.I waited a while before posting this review to make sure the second replacement alternator was good :)
I bought an 18 year old used car recently, and the transmission started acting funny (delayed shifting, minor gear slipping). When I checked the carfax, I realized it was overdue for a transmission service. I brought it to 3 different shops and they all refused to touch the transmission for liability reasons.I found this place on Google and figured I’d give it a shot, fully expecting them to give me the same death sentence and turn me away. As soon as I pulled in, two guys walked up and were very friendly. One of them (I believe it was the owner) was asking me about the issues I was having, told me there was a chance the transmission could fail, but said he knew these cars and recommended a drain and fill with some additive. He gave me a good price and got the car in right away.Over the past week, the transmission improved and has been shifting perfectly! I know the issues could come back but this shop did an amazing job, helped me when nobody else would, and were very delicate with the old transmission. The owner even showed me the old fluid and was extremely transparent about every step they took during the service. I felt well taken care of and would highly recommend this place to everyone I know - especially people that drive older, temperamental cars. This guy really knows his stuff!
This guy changed my engine and car is running better than the first day. Car is so quet you cant tell if its on or off. He fixed air conditioner and its colder than the first day. Price wise, He charged me way less than average for something thats usually harder than average work. His staff are polite and very straight to the point. Honest and technical. Better than anything I can ask for.
Excellent mechanics, very knowledgeable and professional where you can speak directly to the mechanics who are working on your car no drama of service writers trying to upsell.
I came for a price comparison on multiple repairs and saved over $200 against Midas or AutoZone. J&B searched for the right part when even the dealership didn’t have it. We had friendly conversations while I waited and watched them work. 10/10 would recommend. Call ahead to see if they are too busy or have a spot available same day.
Jafar is extremely sweet, respectful and has a lot of experience. Would always recommend!
Both you and your car are treated with respect here. They have a friendly and professional staff. They are honest about what repairs the car needs and they do those repairs in a professional and timely manner and put your mind at ease.My car had a critical problem and I had lost hope of fixing it after taking it to a few other shops but their manager (Jafar) made sure that my car is fixed with a reasonable cost.I recommend them for any type of repair or routine maintenance.
This place does great work at good prices. I had my transmission rebuilt and a few other things fixed and Ive had no issues to date..
I had a very pleasant experience with this repair shop. They changed the alternator in my Toyota Corolla earlier this year, and they were professional and honest. They also offered competitive pricing, timeliness, and strong communication throughout the repair process.
UPDATE: Ive been to Jafar a second time now--my car battery died because I left it parked for too long. Because it was in an underground garage, and it would have cost an arm and a leg to tow it out, Jafar came and jumped it himself. What do you say about a person like that? I recommend Jafar, not only as a mechanic, but as a human being. Im glad he has an auto shop because there is no website to give humans 5-star reviews in general, but he really deserves it. Ive recommended Jafar to everyone I know. Honest, awesome, creative mechanic and human being!---This is my first review of any kind. I cannot more emphatically recommend Jafar at J&B Transmission & Auto. He is creative, resourceful, client-centered and probably a living saint. When my car broke down a few weeks ago, my regular mechanic charged me $350 for the diagnostic and an oil change and quoted me $4500-$6500 for a very complicated repair-- I was contemplating selling. Thankfully, I sent the car to J&B for a second opinion. Jafar towed my car to his shop and spent DAYS looking for another way. Rather than a cylinder head replacement, it turns out all I needed was a new fuel injector and spark plugs. Even after he fixed it, he put gas in it and drove it around to make sure that the problem was truly resolved. The total came to $681: upwards of 90% less the diagnostic/quote at my usual place. Im determined that he makes up the fantasy $4000-6000 that I wouldnt have paid anyone but that he didnt try to extract from me. Please, for your next oil change or tune up, consider taking your car to J&B!
Good man 👍 they keep my car up Im running
I love this place, I recommend it 100% They are honest, responsible and respectful the best in the West 🤙
Very great service! The owner was very helpful and gave honest answers to my questions. Would definitely recommend this place.
Really great experience. Ive gone back several times. Its not the cleanest place, but thats because theyre focused on your vehicle.
Very honest and very good Mechanic. He has repaired out Jetta and has done work on our Town and Country. This place has saved me a lot of money by repairing exactly what is needed.
Quick, pleasant service
The people who work here know their work & stand behind it. They really take care of their customers. I always come here when work needs to be done on my car.
I went on a road trip from California, San Francisco, to Illinois .My check engine light came on, so while at near by pizza places, i asked the owners for a good mechanic that theyd recommend to me, And all of the people i asked, told me go to J&B auto on greenleaf St. So i did.Soon as i bought my car in, they repaired it, told me what was wrong. and they took their time to inspect my car to ensure it was safe on the road for my long drive. This is my kind of Auto Repair service business, Family owned. Motivated to earn your business. Thanks alot Ben!
