J & S Auto Repair

2^nd time here and no complaints. I love that J &S do groupons and will come here more often. Love that they put in a mini fridge and coffee maker for customers. Rock on

I called at least 15 repair places to service my Winnebago Rialta and none could handle it. All except for J & S, they were reasonable and fast and fixed the check engine light issue. They diagnosed it correctly and it is running fine now. They did such good work, when I picked up the RV, I dropped off my Volvo. Love these guys!

Came here because of the groupon for an oil change. I really appreciate their honest and quick service. As a woman I always hesitate going into an auto repair shop since I don’t know too much about cars and fear that will translate into getting taken by the staff. but that is definitely not the case with J&S. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I made an appt to get my oil change, I was taken in promptly and they had me back out on the road quickly. I would highly reccommend!

I found this place through Groupon but have since used them for other services as well. The owner is always polite and willing to explain service needs to you. I’ve never gotten treated poorly when I’ve said I need to think about having a repair done or decided against something. If you want a specific appointment time (don’t want to drop your car off all day when you just need an oil change), you can usually get in within a week. And of course the most important thing about dealing with a repairman is trust. I’ve never had any problem with the work done and when I brought it in for a mysterious squeak, I was told a part just needed lubrication when I could have easily been sold new struts. I love a stand up business! I never hesitate referring J&S.

Excellent service at J & S Auto Repair. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I just moved to the area and needed a tail light replaced. They were able to service my car immediately and get me back on the road in no time. I love the clean waiting room, as well as free wi-​fi available. I will definitely be coming back here for oil service and repair!

Bought a Groupon which initially led me to this shop. I drive 300 miles per day, give or take, and 60 $ at Valvoline every 2 to 3 weeks wasn’t going to work.
30 $ for three oil changes was awesome, although I was skeptical that there would be surprise fees I figured it would still be cheaper that the alternative.
To my surprise the only extra fees I paid were a total of less the 5 $ for taxes and disposal. It was a one time fee and way less then I expected.
35 $ for three oil changes and tire rotation was well worth it.
My first oil change I was stuck in traffic and late for. This is a busy shop and they try to take care of you right away so I thought I’d have to reschedule because unlike other shops they value the meaning of an appointment. I called and they said I’d have to wait but they’ed do it. I was way overdue for an oil change and happy to wait. There idea of waiting and mine are different, while I thought it was probably gonna take an hour I was very pleased to be out in less than a half
As a women who is not mechanically inclined, I’m very skeptical of repair shops and as a result have been with the same mechanic for many years. although I’ve been less then pleased with his rate of speed I thought he was honest and have remained loyal.
As of lately he’s been doing really sloppy work but I kept going to him for lack of trust of other mechanics. I think J & S is my new shop.
My 2^nd oil change today at j & S was better then the first. I was so pleased with the level of kindness, the rate of speed, the friendliness, the honesty and knowledge of the man helping me.
He told me of all the many problems that were wrong with my truck, explained them in Detail, and answered all my questions even though he was busy.
He listened and didn’t try to rush me out the door.
Most of the problems he described, I had already known about so I know it wasn’t an attempt to upsell or take advantage.
I’ve been screwed over plenty of times by repair shops but these guys are trustworthy well priced.
I highly recommend them to anyone but especially to women who have had problems with honest mechanics in the past.

I bought a $ 17 Groupon for an oil change and tire rotation I got there a few minutes early and was attended to right away they took care of my New 07 Toyota Camry as if it was their own I will be recommending more people to this location looking forward to my next oil change 5 stars cars running smooth

Great honest guy. Tells me what I don’t need done and gives plenty of options. Good prices. Work is always excellent and on time. Master Nissan certified so knows everything about my truck. Also gave me a military discount. Only shop I go to always clean. And can’t beat the price for oil changes.
Free wifi and tv as well! Wifi is fast.

Came here on an Amazon Local Deal. $ 29 for 3 oil changes? How can you go wrong!
I do all my own automotive work, but I HATE changing oil. After the price of buying the oil, filter, and disposal of the oil, it really isn’t that much more to take your car somewhere to have it done.
You would thin changing oil would be a 5-​star service from any mechanic, but that is not the case. That being said, I am glad I found this place. I will be taking my vehicles here from now on.
It was super easy to make an appointment, I dropped my car off, came back an hour later and it was all set and ready to go. They mentioned a couple of scheduled maintenance that my car needed and how much they charge to do them, but didn’t try to pressure me into buying anything like a lot of places do. Car was clean, I checked the oil level when i got home and it was right where it was supposed to be. Great service overall.

I bought the Groupon Oil Change deal and went in yesterday for my first service. Joe took my car in right away, and made sure I was comfortable while I waited. He automatically schedules your next appointment, and emails to remind you in case you need to change it. Very convenient!

Don’t have a review, just a comment, which I could not leave on the Groupon Oil Change deal page.
The offer of 3 oil changes at such a price is a great deal. The problem is, the deal expires 60 days after purchase. I drive a lot, and, I certainly couldn’t use 3 oil changes in 90 days.

Went in for groupon oil change… drove around a few times missing Kent ave. TV and Wi-​Fi I will be in again since I don’t have repair shop since I moved to town

Once a loyal customer, I have to say I’m upset and distraught. I took my new car to Joe for an oil change earlier this summer, and after one day, began to smell oil and smoke. Turns out, the wrong filter was put on. This led to a massive oil leak which sprayed over everything under the hood and all over the ground. The filter was put on so tightly it needed to be pried off.
Joe did not assume responsibilty for the mistake, but assured me he would do whatever it took to make it right. So, I took the car to the Toyota dealership to get cleaned and had the engine compression checked. Luckily, there wasn’t major engine damage to the brand new car. However, a couple months later, I was still smelling smoke, which I’d hoped would just burn off from running the car. The dealership informed me the sepentine belt still had oil on it and would need to be replaced as the oil would eventually weaken the rubber. And anyone that has ever worn a belt out knows this can be bad news… Anyways, I informed Joe and he refused to take care of it, renegging on his oath to make sure the vehicle was back in order.
I will never take my car back to him, and I am sorely disappointed with the incident and service. If I could give 0 stars right now, I would.

I made an appointment for air conditioning service for my 2007 Hyundai Elentra with a Groupon. I wasn’t sure if they were going to try to tell me I needed to fix something or not treat me as good if I was paying full price (stupid, but it happens) and they did neither. I had a little trouble finding the place and was running a little late and they called to check in to see if I needed directions in a nice way. The service was quick, the office was clean and pleasant and they did great work. It’s not anywhere near where I live but I would recommend them to anyone. Very friendly folks, reasonable prices and they also let me know that I needed my timing belt replaced, which I had forgotten about.

Friendly, practical, honest and competent. I look forward to working more with him.

I took our 2006 Subaru Forester to J & S using a Groupon for AC service. Owner Joe Hoyle took care of the maintenance and explained that he was unable to get a replacement cabin air filter in time but I could return in a couple of days to have that installed. I was unaware there was a cabin filter, so he could easily just have not mentioned it at all.
Joe noticed that the Forester was idling too low and recommended a thorough fuel induction cleaning, which he could do for a very reasonable price. We had in fact been aware of this issue, and even occasional stalling, so I made an appointment to have the service done when I returned for the cabin filter. In an hour the car was ready to go, and the idling problem was gone. Both the AC and the idle have since been excellent, with just over a month elapsed since Joe’s service.
I learned that Joe has had a lot of past experience in working for auto dealerships but left to start his own business. I will certainly return to J & S for future work and highly recommend the shop.
Another reviewer noted the tricky business of making the turn from Post Road onto Kent Ave. The problem is that before you get there you would normally bear left to stay on Post Rd. instead of bearing right onto Rte 117, and then need to quickly get over to the far right lane for Kent Ave., which is difficult when cars are coming up fast. My solution: bear right at that rotary and then immediately pull into a parking lot on the right. When traffic allows just pull out onto 117 heading left and then you’re soon on Post Rd.; take the third right (after Shippee and Locust Aves.) onto Kent.

While I cannot give the 5 stars as I haven’t actually received any service yet, when I had called about the Groupon synthetic oil change service and that it states only for «5 quarts» of oil when my car takes 6 he said there would be no extra charge and replied by saying «Listen I am more concerned about making a customer than making an extra 10 bucks.»
This is how you do business!

My boyfriend had purchased a group — 3 oil changes and tire rotations for $ 30 and gave one to me. First, the fact it was transferable was nice. Second, the price couldn’t be beat. Third, when I arrived, they took me right in and were fast & friendly. He was also dog friendly. I’d suggest J & S to anyone.

Very good place to take car for oil change and tire rotation joe is very knowledgeable
And so courteous. Will definitely take car back for other services as I was very pleased
