Jack’s Automotive Larchmont

Jack’s has been taking great care of our now FOUR cars since we moved to Larchmont as urbanites with one barely used car. Jack and son, Mike are helpful and honest auto specialists who have been able to trouble shoot various problems found in our four different types of vehicles. Their service is expedient and the price is reasonable!

This is the first review on Unilocal I’ve ever written. I was motivated to do so because after my husband had his car serviced this morning and commented on how easy and cost fair it was, I realized how grateful I am for Jack’s. I’ve lived in Larchmont for 6+ years and have taken my Honda minivan regularly to Jack’s. They are always available by phone; they are always able to take my car for last minute issues; they often fix easy little computer issues and don’t charge; they are always fair cost; they are honest; and they do excellent, 100% reliable work. They are significantly less than the New Rochelle dealership and much more available. A few years ago I needed to replace my bumper. The dealership quoted me an astronomically high price. Jack’s found me a bumper for much, much cheaper and installed it in one day vs. the 4 days the dealership told me it would take. I love supporting my local shop and have found all my interactions to be pleasant, at times funny, and always reassuring.

I went in for a Geico photo inspection on two different occasions and was turned away and told very curtly each time to come back later. The last time was a day of a coming blizzard when I really needed this time sensitive matter handled before my short window ended. I’ll come back when hell freezes over.

Everyone loves Jacks’s, my father has been going to him for years, and loves it, I’ve brought my car twice and have not had a good experience either time.
The first time, I deal with someone other than Jack the whole time, he quotes me a price, does the work, while he’s printing out the invoice, Jack walks over, says to him «thats a big job, 4 hours» doubles the amount of hours to bill for and just like that adds 170 dollars to the bill and walks away.
The second time, Jack does some of the work I asked him to do, when I pick up the car after he says its ready (also another thing I don’t like, I never find out that my car is ready from Jack’s, both times they do not call, they wait for you to call and say «oh yeah, its ready») but they had forgotten to do the other work I had asked them to do, so I returned home car-​less, he said it would be ready in the morning, then updated to the end of the day.
That being said, his prices seem to be reasonable and I think he’s honest, maybe just a little disorganized and lacking in bedside manner.

I live in Manhattan and bring my car up to Jack’s in Larchmont. Completely reliable and trustworthy. He gets it right the first time, every time.

I have lived in Larchmont for over 14 years and I have been using Jack to service my cars. He is a nice man and he kept all my cars running and charged a reasonable rate. He is honest and hard working and I consider him my automotive resource in Larchmont. I recommend him highly!

Excellent, expert service. Reasonably priced, totally reliable, honest and trustworthy. He has saved me countless dollars, repairing a Toyota Camry that the dealership said needed to be replaced with a new car. .. and is still running perfectly several years later! Jack is THE BEST!

Your neighborhood mechanic. Jack has been here for decades. His shop opens early and closes late. He’s honest and reasonable. He can always fix my car right the first time.
