I recently took my 30 year old Mazda here for some repairs and my yearly inspection. I knew before going in that there were a few issues that would need to be addressed. one of the repairs being an issue with the accessory/alternator belt being loose and the adjustment bolts for the tensioner being seized. I took my vehicle to a different shop last year after the original belt failed completely and they overcharged me for installing a new belt incorrectly, giving me an excuse that they would have to cut the tensioner out and install a new one, and they were unable to find the part so they just rigged it.James Dean Auto was able to fix it properly for me as well as take care of some other issues that would prevent my vehicle from passing inspection. They were fast with giving me an estimate and completed the work within a timely manner. Everyone I dealt with was polite, professional and happy to help. I will take my vehicle here from now on for any kind of mechanical issues as they did a great job. 10 out of 10!

Had my car there twice great work done on my car. Thank you so much.

This guy knows his stuff ...little pricey but ya get what ya pay for ...delivers when promised. Id recommend this guy 100x over

I go there from time to time The guy is reasonable and he does great work go there and find out for yourself you will recommend him to your family and friends

Good prices and great work!

It took them 3 weeks of me and my girlfriend calling at least 4 times to get a quote from them because they never called me, but to be true I was understanding when they told me that theyre worker quit on them and they were short staffed so I decided to not go with them because I found a cheaper quote. And I wasnt even going to leave a review until they left my passenger window down halfway and it thunder stormed that night before I came to pick up my car. So to my surprise my car is now soaked inside. Thanks for wasting my time and soaking my car

Amazing shop. Great prices. Really fast. Friendly staff.

They did a bait & switch on me . A $ 240 repair turned into a $ 600 repair. Turned them in for state police to investigate. Will NEVER go there again

If you are looking for an honest and skilled mechanic this is the place.

Did what I asked, however did not test drive to verify if the work that was done solved the issue. Come back 2 days later and told me it would be another job to fix the issue. Just go elsewhere. Not to mention, apparently they dont have to make sure the work they do works. Shows character, view reply below.

Capable & honest shop. Ive been going to James for over 3 years now. Best thing I can say is that he wont BS you with anything. Hell tell you what is wrong & wont try to invent anything that isnt ... which is damn near impossible to find in mechanics. Does quality work. Hes always been able to squeeze me in when Ive been in a jam (including right now ... fixing my power steering). Go to the dealer if you want a free cappuccino & nice leather chairs. Go to James if you want it done right & done fair.

Really good job

Took my van for inspection everything was fine they broke my brake hose and brake line and tried to charge me $800 to fix that and a core brace I just had an angle iron welded on it after last inspection. I had to drive home without brakes. When I drove there brakes were fine but when I left I had no brakes.

They were able to check my AC system the same day after I got off work. Knowledgeable mechanics, quick service!

Always been fair with us. They wont rip you off!

Had my car inspected here and I doubt I will ever be back. Needed tires replaced to pass inspection so got them mounted and balanced there but they cant do alignment since they dont have the machine for it which is fine. My car was dropped off there early on the morning like 8:30-9:00am and I had to leave for work at 1:30 so I thought that was plenty of time for them and they agreed. They didnt finish until around 1:50 with my car and so I was late to work because of them. Then while driving on 28 I got up to 45mph and my back end starts to shudder and bounce a little. I was able to get to and from work thankfully but had to drive slower on 28 than most traffic which was fun. Went back to them the next day and they assured me they balanced everything and nothing was wrong I may just need the alignment. Called Mr. Tire to get it done and they told me my back tires werent balanced properly hence why my car was doing that when I got up to speed. So from that incident with them claiming to balance tires and charging me for it while not actually doing it I warn people to be careful with them or avoid going here. Its a shame because I was hoping this was a place I could reliably come back to for any and all issues but Ill have to look elsewhere now.

A trustworthy mechanic that does a great job at a fair price in a timely fashion

Had the rockets inner and outer done on my 04 explorer,it was almost unsalvageable but less then a week its back to new! Love the work and would recommend to anyone!

I googled other prices and to know that Im not getting ripped off is always a plus. A clear answer to the problem and a recommend solution is great when a person lack in auto language. You get that here at James Dean auto.

He and his staff are the best great guy very honest great prices

I never feel unsure about my experience or services received here. Highly recommended for all auto repair needs.
