Jim’s Auto Center

I highly recommend this place for its high level of customer service. I took my American made minivan (yes, it still runs really well!) for an oil and filter change, and a badly needed power flush of my radiator. Marcus took all my information down and gave me an accurate estimate (estimate because there weren’t any surprises later when I got the van back). Marcus told me that the flush and oil change would take about 3 to 3.5 hours. I was prepared to wait, since I had the day off. Marcus asked me if he wanted a ride anywhere while they worked on my van. I remembered my gym bag was packed and ready to go, so he drove me a few miles to the 24 Hour Fitness at the Downtown Buena Park location (which really isn’t in downtown Buena Park!). When Marcus dropped me off, he asked for my cell phone number so he could call me when the work was complete. He would then call me and pick me up. A work out and a ride back — sounded like a cool plan to me! Marcus came through, calling me a few hours later and then picking me up at the nearby Portillo’s because I got really hungry after my workout and needed to eat something.
If you’re looking for an auto center, give Jim’s a try. You may be pleasantly surprised! And you can take up their offer of dropping you off to a local address and later picking you up. Suggestion: You may want to call ahead to see if they have room for your vehicle. Word of mouth has gone around that this is a really good and dependable place — so much so that it may be difficult to get a time slot. And keep in mind that they are closed on the weekends.
