Very friendly people, excellent service, happy to go back again, reasonable prices!

Paid 5k to have a bunch of work done only to find out they didnt set my monitors after disconnecting my battery. Went back in to see why and Steve argued with me and flat out refused to make it right. Amateurs definitely dont use this shop.

Fantastic customer service! They fixed the problem and even went the extra mile. Absolutely will be bringing my cars here in the future.

Quality service. Fixed my issue and discovered the cause. Fair pricing. Im very satisfied with the work.

We had a bad experience with J&D Automotive. Our van stopped working and so our son took it to J&D to get an estimate. They diagnosed it and gave him an estimate of $1892 to fix a relatively minor problem. We thought it sounded unusually high. We called another automotive shop, and the owner also said it sounded really high, and that he could fix it for a much more reasonable price, which thankfully he did. This little escapade cost us about $200 as J&D charged us $135 to diagnose it and it cost us another $77 to have it towed, but the story ended well. We just wish we had never taken it to J&D Automotive. After reading the other reviews more in depth, its clear that this is a pattern of this business.

Got my truck right in and took care of business and got my truck back quickly very pleased with their work and response to my problem .Thank You

I can get there at 8am and my car will be done same day. Even for some major work.

J and D Automotive really saved me. My car broke down on a long road trip and I was towed to J and D. Dan (the owner) and the young man at the front desk were so polite and helpful. They did a great job fixing my car and even came in an hour early to get it done so that I could get back on the road. They were very thorough in explaining what had happened to my car and what options I had to fix it. They even drove my son and I and our two dogs to and from the hotel where we had to stay the night. Thank you J and D Automotive.

I am really grateful from the help I received here. My car had 4 codes, my engine light was flashing and I was so worried that it was hopeless. My car was in and out in less than 24 hours, and they have Car Care which helped cover the cost. They were nice enough to give me a ride back to work once I dropped my car off, and Dan the owner called throughout the day to update me on what they were doing. I felt very comfortable with them working on my car, everything was broken down for me step by step. I really do suggest them for any type of repair!

Shysters! They charged me $136 for a quote on a catalytic converter, stating that they had to do there own tests to confirm thats what it needed even though I told them and already knew that is what it needed. All I wanted was a price for the part and how much labor would cost. Didnt even offer to put the $136 towards the repairs if I got them done there. The quote ended up being over $2000! went somewhere else for a second opinion and they were able to diagnose for free and fix the problem for $420.

My very pregnant (8 1/2 months) daughter and I bought a used car from J&D Automotive in the end of April this year, 2017. It was a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue. We were told by the owner that he had replaced the engine and the newer engine only had 34,000 miles on it so the car should last a long time. The car was for sale for $1,900.00, as is, but with this newer motor, what could go wrong. She took it for oil changes, and took good care of it. She has had it about 6 months and noticed it started running hot. We had it towed to our mechanic in Red Bluff and he found block sealer and a cracked head gasket.I just got off the phone with J & D Automotive letting him know and asking if he wanted to buy the car back, he said he personally drove that car for 7 or 8 months with the AC on, because thats the kind of person he is, and no, he wouldnt buy it back, he doesnt know what anyone did to it, hmmm. I know what my daughter didnt do to it, she didnt let anyone mess with the car, why, because we have a mechanic and I help her with her bills. Also, we ended up paying him $2,000 for the car because he charged me for an oil change before we took it and the smog. Then when he gave us the bill of sale and registration, he put down that we only paid $500.00 for the car. I was really uneasy about that, but he said it would save us money. At the time I thought, yeah, you arent thinking of us, youre thinking of the money it will save you in taxes. Now I realize he may have done it because who is going to believe that when we bought a car for $500.00 and it breaks down, we would have any recourse. In other words, I do not recommend purchasing a car from him, and after our experience, I certainly wouldnt use him for my mechanic.

Outstanding service. Prices a bit high but like many things you get what you pay for. For repairs that are honest and high quality it is worth paying a bit more

HORRIBLE! These people and their prices are nothing but highway robbery!!! The owner Dan will make you feel like he cares and wants whats best for your vehicle but watch out, he has many HIDDEN costs that he and his staff dont even discuss with you. My vehicle broke down, I called J & D I asked if they could replace my fuel pump and filter as I KNEW this was the problem, they said they would take a look at my fuel pump and filter at NO COST to confirm MY ASSUMPTIONS. Again they said NO COST to verify. Well once my vehicle was towed to them, I was stuck and was vulnerable to them and to their services. What they said they wouldnt charge for they charged me over $200 FOR THEM TO VERIFY MY FUEL PUMP AND FILTER needed to be replaced. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, I was the one who told them what needed to be done and they said they would verify that AT NO COST, no cost my rear!!!! What is charging me over $200 for then???? they also replaced my front brakes which they said they would bleed the brake line as well. They DID NOT BLEED the brake line as I have just discovered there is copper in my line and it has not been bled. My point folks is they, particularly the owner DAN is not who he claims to be, he is shady and throws in hidden costs.

I have an older vehicle that needed a lot of work. J & D took care of all of the services at a price that was so reasonable I couldnt afford not to have it done. My car is now running like a top (and they even gave it a bath) and I cant tell you how much I appreciate J & D Automotive. I will never go anywhere else for service. They do it all.

I had a lot of work done on my 2001 Nissan. After I picked up the car there was still a noise problem. I finally took it back for a check over. After a few free fixes by J & D Auto the noise was still there. Mike, one of the service persons, finally found where the noise was coming from & had it fixed for free. The guys and gals at J & D are wonderful folks and went the extra mile to fix my car and find the source of the annoying noise. I can call at anytime and get super fast service. Everyone there is nice and friendly. I recommend them to all the gals out there that cant find an auto repair place you can trust. They are the best.

I would give them one star, but the employees are very friendly and professional. The two star rating goes directly to the owner. Ridiculous prices, and all the shops in this area seem to be this way. They want 1441.00 to do my A/C. Had to go across town, but it cost me $680. Need I say more?

I had a water pump issue and brought my car (with high mileage) in without being too sure what was wrong with it. Let me bring to your attention that I am not car savvy whatsoever, my friend is a little but we really didnt know what was going to be wrong with it. I left my car with them for the weekend, and the first day they let me know it was a water pump issue and a thermostat issue, possibly some head gasket issues, and some radiator hoses needed replacing. The bill ended up being a lot bigger than I expected, so I just let them do work on the water pump. 2 Days Later, Ryan called me letting me know that they did extra work anyway, but they did not charge me for labor! I had to pay for the extra parts but it turned out not being too much more expensive. I used my AAA card and that got me 10% off the bill. The car is running great, and they are not just good at their job, they are good people at heart as well. Ill be going here again.

My 99 Jeep WJ needed a new passenger side cv boot on the front axle.Current custom is to replace the axle rather than the boot. Current custom is more expensive for the customer but eliminates questions about the old exposed cv joint status.J & D did the work, let me inspect the completed installation while the car was on the rack, explained my other chassis conditions that could be addressed and identified a rear wheel seal leak that needed to be done.I had them do the rear wheel seal repair.However, the car now pulls to the right which it did not prior to the repair visit. I am aware the axle replacement should not cause an alignment problem.But now I have need of a front wheel alignment. Tire inflation is the same on both ends of the axle.

Fast service and good job

Good friend good mechanics at this place its an auto shop

Jd Auto is the rip you off shop I have looked at many of the post and the comments about this shop . The owner Dan is a shyster I have had my car in his shop I would have to look four five or six times now really the only thing they got right on the car was the coolant reservoir and even when they done that they didnt check the radiator hoses the top hose you can almost stick your thumb in and the bottom hose is just as bad so something they didnt even look at why to bissy trying to rip me off with the new coolant tank and what ever else they could possibly say needed replaced.so I let them do their thing to the car and I gave them enough rope to hang themselves and the did they hit the underneath of my car with I already know with what the floor lifts one of the pegs was up and Im thinking the mechanic or what ever they call him was pissed because the car been there so much and he like I said mechanic or what ever drove my car into shop and blame tore up left side of car damage some stuff and here is the kicker they tried to repair it and put other parts on car I know for fact they changed parts I put in parts they messed up and when you see new parts where you know old parts should still be and the shop and your garage is only place car has been well you tell me and car was hit way under car so. Yep take your car else where you will thank me later.. Right Dan

I had my transmission go out while traveling to Redding to see my family. My brother referred J and D they worked thru the weekend to get us back on the road.This was in 2011 and its running great still.

Great at diagnosing and decent prices.

My experience with J and D Automotive was very bad, we took our car in to them, spent over $700 and my car quit the very next day. Ill pick another shop next time, so many to choose from right there on Hartnell.

Still waiting for smog cert.ok

Simply sucks.
