Yesterday proved it is worthwhile to do business with the same folks who have serviced your car all the time. In January, I had a new alternator put in. Recently was hearing a strange noise and brought the car back in. Ricky, who had done work on my car before drove it a bit and diagnosed the alternator - again. It was still under warranty, so no charge, but in addition, they went to great lengths to bring me a loaner car at 8 A.M. so I could make a 9 0clock appointment across town. Great and honest service! I count on them!
We were traveling and hit a large piece of tire on the freeway (unavoidable). The front splash guard broke and was hanging down. I had to crawl under and bust it off to continue. Im a car guy, so we went to the Asheville OReillys on Riverside Drive to buy rivets to reattach it. I asked Jeremy (at OReillys) if he would recommend a local shop, rather than trying to do this without the proper tools. He said I should take it to Jimmys Automotive. He was RIGHT! Despite being booked into next week, they were able to squeeze us in and get us back on the road. When they gave us our car back, they said no charge!!! I wish there were more people like this in the world. They run a clean and organized shop, in a professional manner and they are not taking advantage of people. Restored my faith in our fellow man. THANK YOU!!!
Friendly staff. Efficient service. Have to remind them you bought tires from them in order to get free rotation.
My vehicle is a handicap van with automatic ramp, I always receive excellent service at Jimmy’s.Technicians are knowledgeable, friendly and careful to always explain things to me and see that I am safely back in my van. I appreciate the service i get at Jimmy’s very much.
As usual, they were professional, friendly, and super-helpful. I love that they email me photos of needed repairs, and I like seeing the faces of the mechanics who work on my vehicles. This was a particularly complicated fix on my old truck, and they talked through all of my options with me. They describe the problems and solutions in language that anyone can understand. Love these folks!
Just got car fixed and, when driving, lost power. Car had no pick up. Drove by Jimmy’s after closing time but decided to stop anyway and Jimmy was there . He calmed me down, took car on test drive and said the car needed fixing.. I got a loaner car and by Tuesday they fixed it for a very good price. Thank you Jimmy and all his staff for helping an old lady on a Thursday evening, before a long weekend. I would have to get a taxi for all those days. Jimmy’s ROCKS!!
Tj was very thorough when I brought my truck in when the ABS light came on. He provided me with a full diagnostic report with pictures of areas needing repairs and how to repair them. As a detail oriented person this report was very helpful. I will definitely be returning!
Professional service, the cost was under what they estimated and done in a timely manner, I will be a returning customer.
All of the guys at Jimmys are great. They are professional, caring and patient. The mechanic will always discuss in detail everything they are doing, making sure I understand. I really appreciate how easy they are to talk to and they actually listen! Excellent service.
Very thorough and detail oriented service. Staff was extremely personable and hospitable. Quick turn around and I am very satisfied with the maintenance that was performed. Was referred by a friend and I will now refer others and continue business here in the future.
After recently moving to Asheville I was apprehensive to get auto repairs not knowing anyone in the town. Ricky took great care of all my concerns. They were very professional, great communication and timeliness. They have an amazing system that allows you to review everything they diagnose on your car and see what’s going on. I would highly recommend this auto repair shop to anyone.
I was very disappointed. The air conditioner worked fine until I got on the interstate and died again. It took them way too long to get my repair done. As I live out of town I had to get an expensive hotel room. I came here because they had a 4+ star rating. WHAT A JOKE. My advice is to NEVER use them
TJ and your team are great. Thanks for the great service.
I had my Prius towed here through AAA. Fast, friendly, professional service and a AAA discount and a warranty on the transmission.
I use Jimmys because they are professional, timely, and up front about addressing any of my vehicle issues and associated costs. They dont try and up-sell any unwarranted services, and are very transparent in their communication. It took me a while to find a trustworthy mechanic but I would recommend Jimmys to anyone. Ive worked especially with Ricky and TJ on multiple vehicles and they kept me informed every step of the way. Great business.
Excellent service with kind courteous and knowledgeable employees. Will be returning.
These guys are incredible! Not only are they knowledgeable, efficient and professional, they’re so darn NICE. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs car maintenance of any type!
Took my car in for a rattle, and I also asked them to look at what else might be needed for the 120,000 mile service. It is a used car, and unfortunately there was a lot that was needed. Even though it was a last minute request on my part, they were able to get the work done in a reasonable amount of time, and it is driving more smoothly now.
We love this place. The staff are always friendly and professional. The lobby is clean and welcoming, they are efficient in getting work done as well as thorough.
I got personal attention from TJ, he went above and beyond to help me. Told me he was there for me. I was taken on time, everything was explained to me. I even got an email describing all the work that was done. I feel safe going to Jimmies.
Great place for ANY automotive problems !!!Knowledgeable staff, great customer service, highly recommend them !!
Very satisfied with the service at this place. We managed to get our car issue diagnosed and fixed on New Year’s Eve. The loaner vehicle was also very helpful. Great experience, Ricky was professional, friendly and very easy to work with! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a mechanic service in the Asheville area.
These guys are great! TJ, thank you for your assistance with my Jeep! You made my visit easy and understandable. Phoebe had a blast!
Good overall experience. Quick accurate diagnosis. I already knew what was wrong but they verified it professionally. They also found a couple other defects and left it up to me to decide what to have repaired, deferred or done myself. No hard sell.
I went in for my inspection. Absolutely Covid-19 compliant and the inspection was completed in less than a half hour. Thank you. 😃
High quality on time repairs. I would use this repair shop again
I think for the services rendered, I couldn’t ask for more in a place. They go above and beyond every time we come.
I could not of ever imagined that I would of found such a wonderful place to have my car worked on. The people they employ are very professional and courteous. This is the only place I have ever went that sends you pictures with details explaining what needs to be done and why and they dont do anything without your approval. If you are looking for an honest mechanic that you can trust please do yourself a favor and give Jimmys a try. I live near haywood county and yes it is out of the way for me to go to them but I will not take my vehicles anywhere else from now on go to them you will not be sorry.
Our first experience with Jimmys Automotive was excellent! They were personable, professional, efficient, reasonable in price and thorough. I dropped my car for an appointment and the work was completed well before it was even scheduled. So good to have a place close by we can trust and will do the best for our vehicles! I highly recommend them!
Love this place! TJ always does a great job explaining what needs to happen without trying to pad the bill like other auto repair places. High quality work done quickly. I highly recommend Jimmy’s automotive!
They were amazing in all the ways. Not only did they diagnose the issue, they found a problem that was under recall/warranty and help me negotiate with the dealership. Great people. Gave me a loaner car while they were diagnosing. Will def be back.
I took my car to these guys a little over a month ago for the first time and they were so nice. They talked with me honestly about my repair costs and options and worked with me and my budget to make sure my car was safe. I have never had a more pleasant experience! While their price is slightly higher than what I was used to it is well worth it for the professionalism and service!
There were several things done to my vehicle in relation to acceleration, manifold gasket, etcI feel they were very honest with me, keeping me informed of all steps and cost, before implementing procedures.
Ive been looking for a good mechanic in Asheville and finally found a trustworthy place to take my car. All work does require an appointment but the techs are super friendly on the phone and work with you to diagnose any problems and figure out what work to do. In the shop, every employee has genuine respectful and friendly interactions and work is timely and thorough. It is on the pricey side but for the quality and complimentary inspections its definitely worth it. They also send out coupons which can help with costs.
Jimmys always have top shelf service. Their mechanics know that they are doing and are great at explaining all the ins and outs of the repair(s). Its hard to find honest mechanics these days and if you are looking Jimmys Auto is the place to go!
I had an engine oil leak and had them inspect to find the leak which was about $98. The workers were very friendly especially TJ. However, they diagnosed that the leak was coming from the head gasket and quoted me $3,000+ to replace. As my car itself is not worth that much I denied to get it fixed. I decided to have someone else look at it and come to find out the leak was actually coming from an oil pressure valve which is only a $15 part that I replaced myself. And there is no more leaks.
Thank you so much for the great customer service. Ricky went above and beyond! I appreciate the loaner car (and help with transitioning a toddler car seat to it). Made what would otherwise been a stressful day easier. Will be back!
I have an 08 Honda Odyssey that was in need for some TLC. So I called them and let them know about my busy schedule to see if they could work with me. I dropped it off on Friday afternoon and they gave me a courtesy car until the car was ready for free all I had to do was pay for gas. So then on Monday I got sent an email of a computer analysis of my car inside and out. This is to let you know if your car is worth putting money into or it is not. Well the results were good so we were willing to put the money into it. So I knew it wasn’t going to be cheap but I knew it needed it. I needed the timing belt water pump and tensioner done and I had them do the seals while they were there. I also had some fluids flushed. During the repair they found a couple other things that needed fixed. Rather than just calling me and smacking me upside the head with the cost and what it is they took the time and snapped a photo of it sent it by email. Soon after I talked to Ricky and he went over what it was and the importance of it and cost breakdown. I have always had a hard time trusting car shops but a picture says it all while it’s still on the car. It made my decision easy to make with all that information. I went in with a budget but was not meant due to the age of the car. It’s not there fault that happened but I am so happy that they are honest with me to let me know of the repairs needed. Some things that they found Ricky said this can wait and some couldn’t. So now when I need to pick the car up after hours and drop off there car they made it so easy for me to do business with them. I would recommend Jimmy’s to anyone that wants great service. I wanted to thank Randy, Ricky, and TJ the tech for giving me the awesome service and making it safe for my family. Jimmy you have some good folks working for you.
Had my first visit to Jimmys last week after recently moving to the area. Great, friendly service and very clear, specific follow up on how my car is doing and areas to keep an eye on for future service. I already feel like Im building a transparent, trusted relationship. So thankful I found them!
Jimmy’s is a great organization staffed by caring and personable employees. Their communication was excellent. I especially liked the text message I received with pictures of what needed to be fixed. I highly recommend Jimmy’s Automotive.
I called Jimmys during non business hours and left a message that I needed to set up an appointment. On the next business day they called me back. Thats right, they called me back! Already a good sign to me since lately I cant get any service call returned. I informed them of what I needed and they talked me through the steps they would take, how long it would be and the price. We set up the appointment and I took in a car I was interested in purchasing from an individual for a Pre-Purchase inspection. The staff I worked with were friendly and knowledgeable. They conducted a thorough check of the vehicle and created a list of issues for my consideration before I made the purchase. They stuck to the time length and price we discussed previously. There facility was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend Jimmys Automotive Center.
We had a blow out on I26 just across the TN/NC line. Had to get towed to Jimmys for our repair. AAA was supposed to call the folks in advance to see if they had availability to complete our repair. AAA did not call. bBUT the wonderful & helpful staff at Jimmys worked their magic, found 2 replacement tires and had us back on the road to our camping vacation in a short time!! They worked us into their already booked day!! We are ever so grateful for their pleasant and accommodating efforts. Thanks!! The Culbeetsons
Attention to detail is really appreciated; so keep up the good work. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
Jimmy’s Automotive rocks!! I recently bought a vintage car and I was really happy with my purchase UNTIL it left me and my 10 year old daughter stranded. After a few hours I was able to get it towed to their shop. They explained that they were booked solid and wouldn’t be able to even look at it until the following week, but it would be secured on their lot. I was ok with that. Ricky called me back when they were able to diagnose it. They went over it with a fine tooth comb and looked at everything, and there was plenty wrong with it. It was an expensive repair bill, but they were upfront and honest about what needed to be done to make the vehicle safe to drive and what could wait. Being that it’s an older vehicle we had to wait on some parts, but I expected it. I can see why these guys stay so busy all the time. Some people say they’re expensive, but I say you get what you pay for. I’d give these guys 10 stars if I could.
I could not shift my 1997 F- 150 out of the park position. Jimmy’s corrected this unusual problem. Their persistence in problem correction plus customer care is why I recommend Jimmy’s to others.
These people fixed a problem with my brakes that two dealerships could not fix. They are very professional. They even provide you with a loaner car.
Jimmys Automotive has been taking care of my cars for years. They are always friendly, courteous and keep my cars in excellent shape. I have always been 100% pleased with their service.
My engine light came on and my Saturn Vue stopped and stalled out on me quite a few times. Jimmys Auto was kind to take me in. They were able to quickly deduce the problem, and had me a new EMC unit in as well as found a problem with a damaged oil housing unit and replaced it as well. I am very grateful for their help and to get my Saturn back in service within a week.May 3, 2021I took my Saturn Vue back in to check my brakes, oil change and transmission check.They were able to get those tasks done quickly as well as find a potential problem that could have been a real safety threat on the body frame. Jimmys does consistently great work. TJ, Randy and the others are very friendly, hard working and take time to explain things or answer questions. Thank you to everyone at Jimmys for your help!
Beware - very overpriced. I had an appointment, 1 1/2 hrs later I was advised of the price to fix my brakes and rotors. Called around to other mechanics in town and was repeatedly quoted prices 30% less than charged at Jimmy’s. When I advised them of this discrepancy and that I’ll get this taken care of elsewhere, the response was “good luck with that”. Disappointed with the overcharging and how long it took just to get to my car. Will not go back.
Employees were friendly, helpful and respectful. It was reassuring to see Covid protocols were being followed. This is a well run business.
Service was very quick and reasonable. Should things need to be done, they send you a picture of the issue so that you can see and approve. Really courteous. Love these guys.
Jimmy’s Automotive always leaves me happy. The personnel at the front are courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable. The garage work space is immaculate. I bring all my cars there knowing the job will be done properly, on time and fairly priced.
We’ve brought our truck here for several years and we are so pleased with the quality of service that we’ve decided to bring our car here even though we still get free oil changes for one more year at the dealership. We love their attention to detail and that we can make appointments for an oil change. You cannot go wrong by having Jimmy’s service your vehicle.
Although the replaced part used failed twice, the new part from a different vendor seems to have cures the check engine light code. I am pleased with the outcome
Left truck there for a week and they found out the light on the dash can be turned off. Thank you, guys.
The staff at Jimmys are always amazing. Provide detained information as to the issue as well as options to correct. Quality service every time!!
Everything went well. Friendly and efficient staff.
We had a routine service done 5/22/20 on one of our vehicles and as always Jimmys Automotive carried out the care, time, courtesy and thoroughness that we have grown to love and appreciate time and time again. TJ, Ricky and the entire Jimmys crew are always friendly and welcoming. We rely on their expertise and integrity for our vehicles needs as any one of us would do with our own personal physicians as thats exactly what they are to our traveling companions. I find the guys to be fair and just and both Dustin and I look forward to a continued relationship for many years to come. Thank you Jimmys Automotive!
Excellent customer service! I really appreciate the way they keep me informed about what service is needed and they always call me with updates.
Great Service. Would not take my vehicle anywhere else.
Consistently great service. Friendly, thorough, explains things well.
First time customer and now a loyalist. TJ is an amazing person to work with and was informative and helpful through the whole experience from deciding on a tire type to the handoff of keys after completion. I highly recommend he and the rest of the staff I encountered.
Called to see how much the charge to put on a ac compressor told me they need the vehicle at the shop i said do u empty the freon from the system he said yes I said how much you charge to do that he said what so u can do the compressor your self I said yeah he said no we dont do that looks like this business is only trying to help there selves
As always your service is excellent,courteous &very thorough. Thanks PJ
Very thorough and professional service. Out vehicle had a multitude of issues and the technician addressed each one and explained results very carefully in language I could understand. They even repaired a long-standing issue inside the car that other shops declined to address. Convenient and clean.
Thank you! Great service- super helpful! Great customer service!
Wow.... I was impressed with the professionalism and mannerisms of this business. It was my first visit with this establishment and Im pretty sure it wont be my last. I was treated with honesty and respect. The honesty came when I was advised of issues with my car that I was already aware of and nothing more. I own 4 vehicles and all will visit this establishment soon. Thanks guys!!
Jimmys service techs did a thorough inspection of my car replacing the oil and parts originally approved and then discussed other necessary work that had been discovered during the inspection before performing it. I particularly appreciate the inspection report with photos which made it so easy to make the decision to proceed with the additional work and the professionalism of TJ the customer service manager.
Was great... told me everything that needed to be done. Sent pictures of my car, and pictures of the issues. Got the car back when they said I would. Even applied the discount on their flyer, which I forgot to ask about. Great communication through out the process.
Excellent serviceVery friendlyCalled me when they said they would
Very professional with great customer service. Always very clear waiting area.
Jimmys Automotive has always given me quality care for my vehicles. The staff is knowledgeable and efficient. The premises is clean and kept orderly including from what I have seen of the shop area. This is important to me as it speaks to the care the employees give. If you care for your surroundings you likely will care for others belongings. I will continue to use Jimmys for my automotive care.
Such great service. Thank you TJ and the crew!!!
Most importantly, thorough and detailed diagnostic and quality repair. Closely followed by courteous customer service, including constant contact and call response. Then there is the trust that exists with Christians. Each service is a testimony. Special thanks to Ricky Fox who was in charge of my repair. He sets a high bar for efficiency in customer service. And thanks to you, Jimmy, for old fashioned business integrity! Tom Whitaker
I have often said that a company’s employees are the heart and soul of a business. And this concept is so true at Jimmy’s Automotive. Great customer service is always at the forefront of their business.The employees at Jimmy’s are professional, courteous, and helpful to all who come through their doors.
To the person, everyone at Jimmys was exceptional. Went above and beyond to help me during a trying week, then a broken car. I so appreciate their honest evaluation of what was needed and what was not, and attempts to keep the cost down. This on top of professionalism, a smile and just plain pleasantness, efficiency and thoughtfulness. there should be more stars!
Routine annual inspection. Prompt, polite and accommodative of Covid-19. Thanks.
Jimmys is always professional and they provide a loaner car.
Jimmys is a very professional auto repair center. I initially had some major work done to our 2007 Toyota Highlander. They were comprehensive in their description of the service required and transparent in pricing and the length of time it would take. There service representatives were curious and helpful in explaining procedures. I give my highest recommendation. Charlie
I gave been a isomers at Jimmys for many years and have always been very satisfied with the price and quality of the work.
Jimmys is consistently great! Ive been using them for about 2 years. TJ is AWESOME and knows his stuff. Best of all he can explain car things to lay people without making them feel dumb! I highly recommend TJ and the crew at Jimmys!
The staff are very polite. A great app that keeps you informed. It did take a little longer than I thought it would, but they did have to add changing the power steering fluid in addition to my tune up. Great atmosphere, they even play Christian music in the lobby. Thanks so much!
I have always experienced excellent customer service @ Jimmy`s, quite possibly the best in the industry. I`ve been a customer for the better part of 20yrs and highly recommend them for your automotive needs.
Prompt and professional service. Courteous and helpful staff. Trusted and reliable work on vehicle. Life is so busy that your reminder texts of service due is awesome! The regular maintenance and inspection of vehicle helps keep the car in great dependable shape. Thank you!!And yet another great service appointment!! Repeat of previous visit. Y’all are very consistent in work quality and customer service. Thank you, again!!!
Very professional and courteous. They were able to diagnose and fix my issue with my car. If you need a garage to help you with your vehicle, give them a call!
Out standing service. TJ is one of the finest people you will ever meet. His attention to detail is second to none. He was able to set us up with a loaner similar in size to our vehicle and really saved the day due to activities that were planned for the next day. Brian kept us informed with text messaging and calls and went the extra mile in helping us decide what the best options were for us as this was a major repair. They are really good people and we would highly recommend.
Simply the BestI could send anyone there with no worries they will be treated right and not taken advantage of in any way.
Jimmys is a excellent shop to get it done right the first time. Jimmy is a great guy and has a super team to take care of your car.
Very pleased with the customer service experience at Jimmy’s. Comprehensive inspection was just that, happy with the thoroughness and reporting of results. Will certainly return for future needs.
10/10 best auto repair place that i’ve been too!! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who always does a great job. They fully inspect your car every time and not a half way done job. Bring your car here any needs!!! :)
Fantastic service! Fixed my jeep twice recently and knocked it out of the park both times. TJ was great to deal with both in person and on the phone. Very helpful and informative when it came to my repairs. Also, a very nice experience as a Trans Woman. Used my preferred name and pronouns the entire time despite seeing my legal name all over the paperwork. Great folks!
Great service for car inspection! I appreciate them scheduling appointments so I never have to wait to get my inspection!
Dependable, friendly folks that do professional repairs and maintenance on all my vehicles. I dont always know exactly what maintenance is required on my three vehicles, but Jimmys does and they keep me informed with email notices. When I take one of my vehicles in they make sure I know what needs to be done and the pricing before they do the work. If something arises while they work they call me to make sure Im OK with the work and the price changes. You can trust Jimmy and his staff to do the right thing for you every time.
Took my truck in on a Monday........to have engine checked. Tuesday received results. By Thursday.......all was fixed and truck was ready to go. Picked it up Friday and runs like a top! Am very pleased with the work quality......quickness of getting the job done.....and the price of the service. I would definitely recommend Jimmy’s to my family and friends! And the staff is A-#1!
Everyone at Jimmy’s Automotive is super friendly and helpful. I appreciate that they explain to me what’s going on with my car in a detailed and respectful manner. It’s easy to see that they take pride in what they do. I also really appreciate the free rental.
Major work due to water pump failure. After the repair I took a 1000 mile trip with the car and made it to my destination with no issues
Jimmys Automotive took care of my car. We were new to their business, but they took care of us like we were already one of their customers. We were having car trouble. We were a short distance from them. They towed our car to their shop. They checked it. They were very nice. They kept us informed every step of the way. They were very professional. We appreciate all that they did to fix our car. Thank you Jimmys Automotive!
I started going to Jimmys because it was close to my new home. I quickly discovered a go to place for my car. I recently suffered the loss of my spouse of 25 years and while backing out of my garage I hit and broke the mirror. I called the Ford dealer and it seemed such a daunting a task. I called Jimmys and asked if they could do it. Ricky said bring it in. I did, he ordered the part with no fuss and replaced it without all the hassle I really couldnt deal with. Thank you Jimmys for making a very difficult time just a little more bearable.
Excellent customer service, very informative and open about prioritizing what work needs to be done and what can wait, courteous, competent, and friendly.
First class operation! Very professional. Would recommend them to anyone who wants a fair price and great service.
