Jim’s Auto Service

I can’t say enough about how happy we are with Jim’s repair of our 2009 Lexus ES350! Water was pouring into the car’s floor boards after a collision repair, I took it to the dealer and was told it could cost $ 2000 or more to find the problem and repair it. My father-​in-​law then told me about Jim’s Auto Service. I called Jim and was able to bring in the car as soon as we had time to leave it. We brought it in on a Thursday morning, and he had found the problem within a couple hours and called to keep me very informed. He asked if the car had been a wreck involving the driver’s rear quarter panel, and it had been repaired in September for a large scratch left by swiping a pole. He told me the sunroof drain had been left kinked after the collision repair, causing the water to drain in. Without his due diligence and thorough inspection of the car, we could have been just thinking this was a wear and tear issue. We were able to get this paid by the collision repair shop, saving us the money. He also only charged a quarter of what the dealer would have done! Jim then went the extra mile by taking out the all the carpet, seats and everything. The mildew smell was horrendous, and he steam cleaned all the carpets and allowed them to dry over the weekend. Today, we picked up the car, and we were VERY IMPRESSED! The smell that you could smell a block away was almost completely gone! Jim will now be our mechanic and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks Jim!

Jim is honest and really enjoys diagnosing car «challenges». I need a new manifold cover and rather than charging me $ 700 he fixed it with sealant.
Today I need new brakes (as he told me I would) and my car is undrivable. He was available on a moment’s notice to fix them.
Thanks Jim. You’re the best.

A friend referred me to Jim 6 years ago and I’ve never been to another mechanic since. He is knowledgeable, reasonably priced and very trustworthy which is so hard to find. I tell everyone I know to go to Jim.

Jim’s Auto Service is outstanding! Friendly, fast, and at the right price. Go check him out!

I recently needed an engine replacement for a vehicle, and after some research and recommendations, came across Jim’s. He was nearby, an ASE certified master technician, recommended by someone I knew to be a long-​time Raleigh resident that wouldn’t give such recommendations lightly, and worked on everything from steam engines to hybrids — sounded like the kind of guy I’d want as *my* mechanic.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the results, Jim’s communication during the process, and the price was great, too (especially since I was undertaking such a major repair!)
I absolutely intend to have Jim be my go-​to guy for all my future auto servicing needs!

After seeing how much my dealer wanted to charge me for an oil change on my new car, I took my brand new car to Jim’s Auto Service for the initial oil change. Jim charged me a very good price. During the oil change, Jim noticed that due to my Turbo engine, I should use a synthetic oil, something the dealer didn’t talk to me about. I agreed with the suggestion and he updated my car computer to notify me after 5000 miles for another oil change (since synthetics last longer).
He was very professions, very reasonably prices and made sure I was happy with everything. Highly Recommended
