This is my second time working with this mechanic and both times they have been great. They always keep in touch and never do anything without my permission. Ive taken an 86 Ford truck to them and a 2010 suv and they were great with both. These guys can do anything! Reasonable prices and time frame, they never stretch out a repair to try to get more money. Call ahead because they might be able to take your vehicle earlier than listed in their online hours

The only shop in town I’ll bring my vehicle to. Willis automotive has been performing maintenance on my 79 Caprice ever since I got it. They’re honest, professional, and offer great advice so that you don’t waste money. They exceeded my expectations on my new engine.

While visiting family in Jacksonville, my car started acting funny. Word of mouth led me to Willis Automotive and Im very lucky for it. They were Amazingly open on a Saturday morning and got me in and out. Oh, and for WAY less amount of money than the other known services there that day would have charged. That was a major plus. I want to Thank you guys again. Thank you SO much for your help.

Said one thing on the phone then went back on what they said and voided our agreement.. threatened to have my car towed AND/OR pay storage fees after an agreement we made… VERY unprofessional & unorthodox

I have had my classic truck in for various work like replacement of master cylinder, motor mounts, fuel pump, and more. Willis Auto has in all cases done quality work and cared for my classic like it was their own. They have provided excellent diagnosis and made many helpful suggestions, answering my questions with friendly, knowledgeable responses. Great work!

Gone there several times with different cars or different problems. Each time I have had honest feedback on what should and shouldnt be fixed. They never tried to upsell me like many other shops do. My first experience with this family owned company was speaking with Mr. Norris about what I wanted to do with my 75 Olds. What I wanted to do could have cost a lot of money. Instead of jumping on the opportunity to make extra money, he took the time to explain better and more cost effective options. Each experience Ive had with them has been above expectation.

Willis automotive is the best automotive repair shop in Jacksonville. They are friendly very courteous and the prices are fair! Mr. Norris is amazing! My trucks engine needed to be replaced...it was a job that most mechanics would not take on because of how messed up it was due to another mechanics negligence. There were parts everywhere and so many parts were broken but Mr. Norris accepted the challenge! I did not have to worry about a thing! He had the truck towed for me and repaired it within a week! I will definitely be utilizing his services again! He is hands down the best of the best! If you are looking for a mechanic...no need to look any further! Stop by his shop....it WILL be the best decision you could ever make for your vehicle!

Rip off. Tried to double charged me for all the parts, said I’m not able to buy my own parts to my own vehicle. Also tried to charge me more than 200 Because “he worked hours on my car” when all he did was see what’s wrong with the car and send emails to the dealership. Wouldn’t recommend going.

Ive always had a great experience taking my car here. Good prices and service, very professional. Mr. Willis is always honest with what is going on with your car and will suggest or recommend fixes but never forces you into getting something done you dont need. They are the only mechanic I trust working on my car.

Mr. Willis has a great shop for mechanical quick fixes, to complete overhauls, to complete fabrication and restoration work. I brought Mr. Willis my 1966 Buick Skylark stripped down to body pieces and bare metal. He turned my antique car into a dream. What my car looks like when he finished, completely astounded me compared to what I expected my car to look like. Mr. Willis goes above and beyond expectations and takes pride in his work and everything he does. He has a name to keep, so he ensures he puts 100% into his products and work. Mr. Willis is all about his customers and wants to make sure you leave with a smile and feel satisfied that you got a great deal at the end of the day. If you are looking for anything vehicle related done, whether big or small, look no further because Mr. Willis and his crew is your go to shop. Thank you Mr. Willis.

Asked them to throw a set of cams in my 2v 4.6 which is a tricky job and they nailed it were timely and charged me exactly the quote. Will be coming back. 2 other places in town wouldn’t do the work because it’s a tough job and these guys killed it.

Our experience with Willis Automotive was fantastic! Mr. Willis answered all of our questions (we had many) and took great care of us. Our timing chain slipped which caused MAJOR damage, and Willis Automotive got it fixed for us in a short amount of time. Shortly after that our oil pump broke, and we took it right back to Mr. Willis!

I went to go get an ac diagnosis and left my car there from which they told me it could take at least 2 hours and this was about 10 am. They said they had one car before mine and i left my name, number and keys. So i call bout 4pm to see if they found anything and they told me, we dont have your car here. Then willis says we have it here but i didnt know, my mechanic didnt tell me so he says. By that time im already on my way. I get there and and it took 15 mins for them to say your compressor is bad then charged me. Yea they offered to fix it but really.
