Jc Automotive

These guys are so awesome. They are honest professional and most of all affordable. My jeep had been broken for two weeks i had taken it to a few places and none of them were able to fix or find the problem. This is the only place i will ever take my car to have work done! Thank you so much for fixing my jeep!

They were able to diagnose a tricky coolant-​leak issue that originally appeared to be a head gasket leak on both heads (over $ 2500 repair estimate).
However, they kept running a variety of tests to verify the problem and, through great «detective» work, discovered a leaking front seal that was very hard to find based on how the coolant «snaked» its way around the engine. So the repair was only $ 500.
The word that comes to mind? Integrity. They could have «had me» for over $ 2500; but they demonstrated fairness, skill, and integrity by continuing to go above-​and-​beyond to diagnose the problem and fix it. I give JC Automotive my highest recommendation!

Not the «Honest, Reliable Service» they claim to be. Came here once and now never again. Took my Escalade in the see why the check engine light was on, sent me back saying the o2 sensor needs replacing, fixed it, and it fails smog not because of the o2 sensor but for an EVAP issue. It definitely was not something new because This vehicle was non-op’ed and only drove it to the smog check station. I called back asking if they can look at it again due to a $ 90 misinformed diagnostic test and they said yes, but for another $ 90. If you do a «full diagnostic check» I would’ve thought they would’ve checked everything rather than stopping once the first issue reads. They lost my business. I highly DO NOT recommend coming here and sounds like any others don’t either.

For those of you who like this auto shop, please beware! I took in my honda accord 2 weeks ago for a starting issue, thinking that maybe my starter was going out!
Well needless to say they sent me away saying nothing was wrong! The problem continued, and even got worse! I at this time my car is at the honda dealer in modesto getting the starter and alternator replaced!
I believe in keeping my dollars locally, but as for my automotive needs, JC AUTOMOTIVE has caused all local shops to lose my dollars!
PS. For the misdiagnosed call, it cost me $ 45! So sad!!!

Can’t help feeling like we were ripped off! My boyfriend took his car in because it was losing power. They called him and told him he need a new batter, so he told them to change it…$ 110 for just the battery… they kept the car over night because they were going to make sure that was the source of the problem. After 3 days in the shop they told him they didn’t find any other problems. So they told him he could pick his car up. Total cost $ 210. Happy to know they didn’t find any other problems my bf picks up his car and gets on the freeway and the car starts to shake! My bf takes the car back to the shop again and tells them he doesn’t know what they did but the cars is shaking. They tell him all they did was change the battery… my question was, why was the car there soo long and why did they tell him they test drove it and ran codes to assure nothing else was wrong??? Lies!!! Well anyways, he left the car there and they got another $ 170 from him… are there any honest mechanics in manteca???

Horrible experiences with this shop. They did not give me a written estimate. They charged me for work I did not approve. They nickle’d and dime’d me on things like topping off fluids and they charged alot for their labor. They did not provide me with old parts even though I requested them the day work was being done. When I asked a second time, I was given a box with some wires and empty boxes. My vehicle was returned in what seems to be worse condition. I gave them 3 ½ days to work on it. And paid alot. The car is now unusable. This was my second bad experience with this shop. I thought the first was just a fluke, because I remember them being good at their old location.

the men here we incredibly nice, and knowledgeable. I told them what my car was doing the noise it was making and they told me that it sounded like I’m having a problem with my Tie Rod Ends. I god a call 2 hours later and they said, good news! not your tie rod ends! Bad news, it’s your tires! They explained that there was a bubble in one of my tires and that they were almost bald. they gave me brand name brand new tires for like, 300 bucks. yes. I could’ve got them cheaper on the South Side Stockton from some crooked dude wanting to make a fast buck. but I felt that since these guys were honest and sincere and they didn’t try to scam me, like other mechanics, I would pay them the monies for the new tires. now I have a whole new set of problems, and I will be taking my car to them once again.
4 stars because parking was Shitty.
