Jim’s Halstead Avenue Service Center Inc

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received at Jim’s. I am new to the Westchester area and my car wouldn’t start last week despite a brand new battery. I looked up auto services in the area and Jim’s had great reviews so I decided to give them a shot. I had my car towed over and Jim informed me that he thought my car was ‘too new to need a new starter’ — which was quite a relief. Kenny, the other guy who works at Jim’s, was nice enough to give me a quick ride to the train so I didn’t have to walk.
Jim called the next day with great news — a bad wire that needed to be reattached. Instead of $ 400+ for a new starter and labor I paid around $ 100 for the work on the wire and fixing a leaky tire.
Unfortunately, two days later, my car wouldn’t start again. I had it towed BACK to Jim’s (Jim was nice enough to wait for me to get there with Triple A). He thought it could still be the wire but was beginning to think it might be the starter after all. I let him keep it for the weekend and picked it up Monday with a new connector for the wire. I wasn’t charged anything for the additional work and (knock on wood) my car hasn’t had any trouble since!
Jim and Kenny are two of the nicest guys I’ve ever dealt with when it comes to auto repair. Honest, genuine and very friendly, I will be a returning customer should anything else go wrong with my car! I believe they do NY inspections as well.

Joining the Jim’s Service station love-​fest. Fast, friendly and honest what more could you ask for?

My mother hadn’t driven her car in over two years. The battery was dead and the car needed servicing. I live far away and was visiting for a day. At my convenience, these guys jumped the car and serviced it for a really reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.

Jim and Kenny are like family, they’ve been my families mechanics for over 25 years.

I have gone there in need of inspection only because it expired without my noticing and I received a ticket this morning. I was in a hurry to go to the City, and I thought I’d just drop the car off local garages close to the train station. However, all the shops in the area was busy and had to place me further down the dates, as was this one. However, I talked to Jim and after understanding the situation, he paused and made room to do the inspection the same day, something the previous two shops I’ve visited in the area didn’t bother to contemplate. He also worked things out so I can pick up the car after I come back after his closing time.
I haven’t been to the shop before, but the cordiality of the owner made me want to come back and try them out. To me, given the skills qualifications are roughly equal, service attitude is indeed everything in auto repair shops.
