Super quick service! My appointment for an emissions test & registration was at 1pm and I was literally back home by 1:13 and I live a couple miles away. Theyre so friendly too! Cleaned my license plate & even put the sticker on :-) Way better than Jiffy Lube and other places like that - more personable and outgoing. Ill be back here! π
The best mechanic in the entire valley. They are upfront about any problems your vehicle has, going as far as even showing you exactly what part they are talking about in case you are not car savvy. Labor is priced competitively and the quality of work is worth 5x what they actually charge you. Go here.
He was super friendly and kept us in the loop and had great service and amazingly fair prices . All fixed within a day. Highly recommend him and his team.
Jakeβs Automotive is great. Really have had great experiences taking my cars here.
The mechanics at Jakes are always courteous and professional. They always come through for us. They have been our go to place for any car repair or service needs for more than 10 years.
They got to my car fast and fixed it fast.
Weβve been taking our cars to Jakeβs for years. They have been honest with us every time and we trust that theyβll take good care of our cars.
Jakes Automotive is a great place to take a car for repair. They are honest and they do a fabulous job. They are friendly and competent. Theyre like family!
I met Jake on the golf course last year. He was super personable. I felt like he was a guy I could trust to take my vehicles to. I needed an emissions test and called up. They scheduled an appointment for a couple of days later. I arrived a few minutes early. They got me right in and told me it would only be 10-15 minute. As promised I was out of there in about 10 minutes. In fact, I got home exactly 10 minutes after my scheduled time. Great service and a very pleasant experience. Jakes is the place to go.
We towed in a car. They were great to run full diagnostics on it and fair with their pricing and suggestions moving forward.
Ive got a 3.6 Outback that takes something like 7 quarts of oil. I dont want to deal with 7 quarts of oil at a time so I was coming here for oil changes. Theyre always super friendly and quick, not really had any issues until this last go. They accidentally filled me up with conventional rather than synthetic, no biggie, Ill just swap back on the next one.What they didnt point out, despite their 31 point check is that my rear tires were past the tread wear marks! Bad enough that theyve likely been this way for at least a couple visits. Never once was it mentioned to me.Really disappointing that something easily looked at while the car is up was never mentioned. Especially when its crucial to the safety of the vehicle.
First of all, the ended up charging me less than their original quote (when does that ever happen??) AND they told me they replaced a brake light they noticed was out free of charge. I know brake lights are cheap, but little things like that are so rare and why Iβll keep going back to Jakeβs Automotive!
Jakes Automotive is the one and only place that I will take my car to. My car has had the head gasket blow, and had leaks from the crankshaft seal, both of which were fixed in a timely manner and have had no issues since the fix. I have since moved to Riverton but still make the drive to Jakes when I canβt fix the car myself. These guys will give the news to you straight and will only fix and do what you want them to. Great staff.
I have been going to Jakeβs for everything for years. Yesterday is another example of why. They had our car all day trying to diagnose a check engine light. They even said βwe took everything apartβ and they werenβt able to find an issue. After a full day of labor, they didnβt charge us anything and told us the code from the light was about something that didnβt have a problem. Contrast that with the dealership who looked at it for 20 minutes and told us it would be a $600 fix.
Quick, efficient service for emissions tests and registration renewal. Ive already sent multiple friends here.
I have known Jake for many years. He is a great mechanic and runs an honest shop. His prices are reasonable. I highly recommend him.
I only use Jakeβs because I know when he diagnosiss a problem, Iβll get an honest answer and a fair price.
We have used Jakes services many times over the past decade. We appreciate their cheerful and timely help. They always let us know what is going on with our vehicles and help us make informed decisions about maintenance services required. Most recently, though we did not have a scheduled appointment, they were able to perform the inspections we needed in between other jobs. Many thanks to Jakes team of professionals!
Best mechanic in the valley. Seriously if you go anywhere else youre making a mistake.
You are awesome. Thank you
Ive been bringing my familys vehicles to Jakes for years now and was recommended by a friend who has been taking their cars there even longer. The service is consistently high quality at a fair and competitive price. Everyone is very friendly and personable.
Jakes Automotive is a great mechanic shop. They are very knowledgeable and have several ASE Certified technicians. They do good work and they get repairs done quickly and affordably.
Jakes is one of a few places that I trust to work on my vehicles. You will always find great customer service, knowledgeable mechanics, and that attention to detail that is missing from most automotive shops. Estimates and time frames have always been right on. I am always impressed with their quick turn around so I am not without my vehicle for too long. Jakes Automotive is the place to go!
Ive used Jakes Auto for years. They are extremely good at what they do. They are fast. They are clear about any issues with your car and they are transparent about their prices. I will continue to use them for years to come.
Jakeβs has been our go-to mechanic for years. Honest, thorough, professional and quick to respond. Thanks.
Very helpful and friendly!
Jakes is close to where I live so it is convenient. But I would use them over and over again, no matter the distance. They have been very professional in every way.They are so good that they are always busy so make an appointment!I hesitate to recommend them because that will make them busier!But seriously, use someone you can trust for your auto care. Use Jakes!
Jakes Automotive is my go-to auto-shop. They are always friendly, professional, reasonable, and do good work. They have a strong following with local clientele, so be sure to call in advance for an appointment.
Iβve loved using Jake. I trust him and appreciate his honesty. He also went above and beyond several times.
As always, Jakes Automotive takes the cake when it comes to great service, prompt completion, detailed inspection, extra efforts, honesty, integrity, and kindnes.
Excellent work and great prices
I love Jakes Automotive. Ive never needed anything major done on my car but they take care of oil changes and registration for me every year. They never try to talk me into spending more money or getting more work done than I asked them to do. And if I do have questions about anything they are very easy to talk to. I also like how they txt me to follow up and make sure everything is okay in the days following any service done.
Jakes always provides great service!
Jakes Automotive does a great job every time! Weve taken all of our cars to them for many years, and have always been happy with their work. We appreciate their military discount, and they were especially helpful when my husband was stationed away from Utah for three years! During that time, they even went up the street to help my daughter get her car started when it died at work. Thats GREAT customer service!!
They have done great work for us for years. Lots of good people there. They can usually get you in for whatever you need pretty quickly
Everyone needs a mechanic they can trust, and if youre looking for one, Jakes Automotive is a must! Jakes is our go-to for all things automotive. From used car pre-purchase inspections to brakes to overhauls, Jakes provides honest work at reasonable prices. Give Jakes a try!!
I use Jakeβs Automotive for all of my vehicle needs. From inspections on new vehicles, vehicle registration, safety/emissions, to any repairs, they are my go-to. They work quickly, explain things well, and charge very fairly.
Incredible service! Not only did they thoroughly diagnosis the issues in our car, the issues were fixed in a timely manner, and for a fair price. The owner personally reached out to follow up on the service we received. When we noticed a rattling still occurring, they quickly took the car in and fixed the issue for no additional cost. Extremely professional customer service. Highly recommend their service for any automotive issue!
I have been a loyal customer of Jakes for over a decade. They have never over diagnosed a problem for more money and Jake is always willing to explain the situation. In fact, at one point they sourced a part from a junk yard instead of buying the same part for over $1500 from the dealership. They continue to be my go-to garage of choice when that check engine light comes on.
We appreciate the integrity Jakes Automotive has shown in servicing our vehicles over the years. We have found them to be friendly, trustworthy, competent, and honest. We felt we were always treated fairly. Thanks, Mary
I have been given service for my car over five years and I have very satisfied with Jakes services. If there is a mistake made he fixes it. Now thats awesome!
Jakes is reliable. I appreciate timely feedback and quick turnaround to get me back my car. They are worth the wait.
Jake is a cool guy. Fast service, cost what he quoted. He even followed up to make sure everything worked properly.
I highly recommend Jakes Automotive! They do such great work, they are friendly without pressure and they get the work done quickly!
Always amazing service and great pricing!
Ive been going here for a couple of years now. I always brace for bad news when the check engine light comes on or I start hearing weird noises from my car, but I always feel like Im getting a fair and honest assessment at Jakes and the bill usually ends up being much less than expected. I never feel like they push unnecessary repairs. Jake also sends a text a day or two later to follow up and make sure everything went okay. Ill be continuing to have my vehicles serviced here.
We love Jakeβs! They have been so great to work with. We have been in for service and a few repairs over the years, but each time weβre treated like weβre their most-valued customers. They are always busy, but always find time to take care of our vehicles. Jake is great and really cares about taking care of his customers. We recommended Jakeβs to everyone, and will always come here!
Jake and Troy have been so awesome to work with over the years at Jakes Auto! I cant imagine taking my cars anywhere else. I trust their expertise, their friendly manner, and appreciate their competitive prices - and not doing some repair that doesnt need to be done. Id give 10 stars if possible! They have a customer for life in me! You will NOT go wrong in bringing your car to them for top-notch services.
These guys are great. Took my van there with a brake light problem. They said they changed a fuse. No charge. Then I took it in because it was running rough. They put in a new fuel regulator. Now it runs great. Fair priced and they wonβt rip you off. They called two days later to see how it was running, and to see if I was happy. These guys are awesome.
I love this place. VERY honest, I can not emphasize enough how honest they are and it is important to me. They will only tell you what needs to be done and the price is very reasonable. They already worked on 4 of my cars. Jake is a very nice and sweet guy and Troy is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Why go anywhere else when you have the best.
The people at Jakes failed us three times. We had our car towed to them to get a fuel pump fixed. They did it wrong. The gas gage read full when the car was empty. We ran out of gas and had to have it towed again. They gave it back to us again, had the nerve to charge us $10 for gas and wait days again for the fix to once again give it back broken. When the problem was finally fixed well enough, but not perfectly they told us it had another issue that would also be expensive to fix. They were wrong. Lesson learned we went back to our usual mechanic even though hes farther away. We wont be going back to Jakes. I feel kind of bad about that. Jake himself seemed like he was good at reaching out and intended to make things right, but in the end we were really frustrated with the way things turned out.
Weβve used Jakeβs Automotive for 18 years and have always found them to be honest, professional, friendly and weβve never had any problems with the quality of their work. We always recommend them to our friends.Robert & Sue Williams
Couldnt be happier with the service. They saved me over $1,000 for properly diagnosing the problem with my car that the dealership diagnosed wrong just to avoid having it covered under a warranty and wanted to charge me $1,400. Jakes found the defective part and replaced it for $120. Car runs better than when I bought it.
I came here for an oil change. They werent free to change it at the moment, but they came out and checked the oil to give me an idea of how long I can wait to set an appointment. They were very nice here and the oil change was fast.
If youre new to the area and looking for a trustworthy shop that will charge you a fair price, Jakes Automotive is the place. We had just moved to Utah, and we needed to find a shop to replace a stripped oil pan. Jakes was by far the best price (by about $200!), and the workmanship was wonderful. We have had no leakage or issues whatsoever on the oil pan. You can trust this shop for high quality work at a tremendous value. So thankful to have them right here in Pleasant Grove.
I went into Jakes again today (they are the ONLY place I go for auto repair). This was easy...just a Safety Inspection and Emissions Test. They took such great care of me, even with something so simple as this. Richard the mechanic was great, and Troy in the office is ALWAYS awesome. Quick in and out, and they are such nice people there.By the way, any place Ive gone to previously for Safety and Emissions (before I discovered Jakes) wanted to charge me something like $10.99 extra to have them process the registration online so I can get the license plate sticker from them. Ive always thought that was a rip-off (gee, I can go online and register the vehicle myself, and the State will send me the sticker). But I was late this time - my registration expired yesterday - so I needed Jakes to register it for me so I could get the sticker for the plate right away. You want to know how much they charged me for doing this? It wasnt $10.99...it was only TWO bucks! Only $2? Wow...awesome!Its another example of how Jakes is VERY interested in their customers and in taking great care of us. Im happy I have Jakes to take care of my three vehicles!Well done again, Jakes!
If youβre looking for a place to get any work done on your vehicle this is where you should go! Jake and Troy always let you know up front what they are going to do or what your vehicle needs.After that they price things out to get you the very best deal and offer you an honest time frame for the work they are going to do. Iβve brought in my vehicles over several years now and I would never go anywhere else. Truly top notch service and customer care!!Thanks Jake and the team!!
We have been going to Jakes for many years nowWe appreciate having a talented and honest mechanicThanks Jake
I trust Jake completely with all of my vehicles, and I know his employees do honest work for a fair price. The only time I went anywhere else is when I had an extreme issue that they werent able to take care of, and they told me upfront what I could expect, and then sent me to someone just as competent and efficient so that my expectations were still met. I will bring my vehicles to Jakes for as long as they do business.
Total Integrity, Honesty and Superior Service and Price.....If youβre looking for a Great Automotive Shop....Jakeβs Is your Place!!!
Very happy with Jakeβs. Itβs really difficult to find a trustworthy mechanic that is well-priced, but Jakeβs is the place. Iβve been in here with more car issues than Iβd like, but since Iβve been coming here, theyβve fixed everything in a timely manner. Great service and easy appointments. Jakes, Troy, and Kelly are great to work with and do excellent work. If youβre looking for someone who will treat you right, go to Jakeβs.
I have met with Jake. It is obvious that he does auto repair the right way. It can be hard to get a slot on his schedule because they are very busy. This is a reflection of Jakes philosophy, He got into car repair because he wanted to offer good work at honest prices. He had experienced working for other repair shops and he didnt want to follow the typical stereotype of the industry. He is honest and will do the job right for a reasonable price.
I was passing through Pleasant Grove when I started having car troubles. I was so lucky that Jakes was the closest mechanic shop. Even though I arrived slightly after close, Troy was more than happy to help me. I felt completely comfortable with the diagnosis of my car and the price. Troy was honest, friendly, capable and good hearted. I would recommend anyone to them.
Jakes always does a great job of letting me choose which services I want done but always gives me an in depth overview of what needs to happen and a timeline of when I will need services completed. I trust them that they do good work, that they charge a fair price, and that theyll stand behind their work. Ive been bringing my cars to them for 5 years and will continue.
UPDATE:Since the original review, they are doing their best to resolve the situation. They have replaced another coil and charged only for the part. It appears that the car is still having issues, but, for now, they are working with me to resolve the issue. I was wrong to blame all these car problems on them without even telling them the car still had issues.I will update this review one more time when everything is done.OLD REVIEW:I took my car in to fix the check engine light. The diagnosis was ignition misfire. They claim that they replaced an ignition coil and all spark plugs and charged me over $500 to do it. After the service nothing changed. I went elsewhere to get it fixed. after a few months of working with other mechanics about other problems that were caused by this problem not being fixed, it appears none of those parts were actually replaced...
Jakes did emission testing on my van. Other places are closer to my home, but Jakes is worth the drive. They are friendly and I feel they are honest and wont rip me off if I need to have service done. Thanks, Jakes!
I feel like I am treated fairly and with honesty. They communicate well about the issues I have with my car and do a great job fixing them.
I had an oil leak and took my car to Jakes. It turned out to just be a loose oil plug. They tightened it up for me and didnβt charge me for it. Great service.
Not only did the job come in on the lowest end of the quote, but the job was done the same day after being told that it would be a full day before they could even start it. My car is running beautifully and i couldnt be happier with their service: Friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be going to Jakes from now on, and would faithfully recommend them to anyone weary of auto shops!
Pleasant. Courteous. Great customer service. Took good care of us. Saved us $400 over going to the dealership. As my primary car is now 10 years old, it is time for it to start having problems. So Ive had to take it to Jakes three times now for different issues and theyve been great with us every time.
Jakes had always done a great job in looking, fixing and doing the proper job on my vehicles. One time there was just a minor issue that would take 5 minutes to do and just hooking something into a clip, someone else would have charged me $ 75, but they just did it and got me on my way without charge. They really care about their customers.
Outstanding group of mechanics. They treated my daughter fairly. Even came in quite a bit under their quote. The work they did was solid and resolved the issues with her SUV. Definitely going to keep using their services.
The Best engine mechanic In Utah County. Been taking my 2 cars here for years and Never a single issue. Honest, Fair, NO running around from Jakes. This is one of the Best old school mom and pop shops Ive been too. Completely trustworthy.
Busy so takes a bit longer but honest and less expensive than the dealer. Friendly, knowledgeable mechanic. A friend suggested Jakes and we have been very pleased!
They always try to get us in quickly. Always explain what is needed and price before work is done. Will certainly go back and recommend this business.
We were really happy with the service we received at Jakeβs, and Jake himself and the mechanics are such friendly and helpful people! They are very busy and it did take a while to get our car in and fixed, but it goes to show that their work is good and a lot of people trust them. Weβll be taking our cars there again for sure!
Fast and honest service with my Subaru. I have been in on multiple occasions and never have I felt taken advantage of. Their work is quality and reliable. They are my go-to auto shop.
We are always satisfied when we take our business to Jakes. We feel like they are honest, they try to help us save costs when able on major work and are just good people to work with. They explain well and call when something new comes up before they do anything. No pressure and great service.
Took our Honda Civic in to replace some spark plugs and replace the air conditioner. They fixed it in a timely manner for a good price. However, right off the lot the car was making some weird noises and the heater didnt work (it has always worked) and on the third day of driving it, the engine light came on and then smoke filled the car. Ive owned the car for 5 years and never had any issues with the car. I let Jake know and he said he would look at it. I have to tow my vehicle (which is on the side of the road now) to have them take a look at it. So far Im pretty frustrated and not impressed. Will be taking the vehicle in next week. Ill update what happens next week!
My husband and I were looking at buying a car and had a few questions so we took it to Jakeβs. We donβt live in the area so we were just taking a shot in the dark and it couldnβt have been more successful. They were so helpful and took time to really look at the car and tell us what they thought. They even drove around in the car with us to help identify a sound the car was making. Unfortunately we donβt live in the area because we would definitely go back to them when our cars need service.
My mother brought her 1998 Honda v6 in to have an oil leak fixed and an 02 sensor replaced. After 3 days she called to find out when she could have her car back, and Troy told my mother that the timing belt needed to be replaced. My mother, needing her vehicle to run, gave Troy permission to fix it. This was an $800 job. Here is where the problem lies. The timing belt was just changed 15000 miles ago when I bought the car for my mom. My mother felt bad about bothering me with any issues involving the vehicle because of how short of time from the purchase it was. She trusted a, βcertified mechanicβ, to fix her vehicle and not take her for a ride. Itβs partly my fault for not paying more attention to my mother, but how can Troy sleep at night knowing he fabricated a make believe problem to bleed $800 dollars from an elderly woman on a fixed budget. Shame on you Troy and shame on Jakeβs Automotive in PG. The 02 sensor was not replaced and it still leaks oil
A great automotive shop with personal service!! Jake is amazing, he resurrected a car that really was dead by all accounts and he did it in an economical way using creativity and genius! I highly recommend his shop.
Needed to get Safety & Emissions done for my vehicle. I called, made an appointment for a couple of days in advance. I went at the appointed time; got the Safety & Emissions done just that quick! No hassles! I found them to be honest & very affordable. 5 Stars.
We had three check engine light problems that was keeping our car from passing emissions. Jakes was able to solve the problems and get us back on the road. The service was quick and fairly priced.
Came through on a trip from St George, and my car broke down and no auto shops would take me in time to get me back to St George for work, except Jakeβs Automotive. Gave me a really fair price and squeezed me in when he didnβt have to. Great shop. Highly recommend!
Weve been using Jakes Automotive for over 15 years and have found them to be competent, reliable, and honest. Our visit a few days ago was no exception. They even managed to fit in an emissions inspection, in addition to the oil change I had originally scheduled.
I really love taking my car here. The reason Im giving it four stars is because they took a lot longer on my car than was originally told and didnt update me. Their service is unmatchable and the people are great to work with.
Wow! Is the only thing I can say. I wish I could give zero stars. I came in to have them look at my car, and just see what might be going on. They checked everything out and gave me a list of repairs and an estimate. And it seemed high, so I decided I would check another place too. So they charged me a little to check it out and to give it a little oil, I was cool with that. But upon investigation they were they charging nearly double what the part cost before labor. When I left they failed to tighten the wheel and tire back on to the car and I nearly lost it on the free way. When I got out and checked it I could loosen and tighten the lug nuts by hand. I would never return to Jakes automotive, nor would I recommend them.
Honest and fair. They go the extra mile to help me. Service turn around time is quick which is so great because being without a car is a pain! I trust them with all of my vehicles!
Jake himself, and Troy are incredible individuals. Certainly they are incredible in their craft as automotive experts (along with their staff of mechanics). But more than this they are interpersonal, fun, and honest. As has already been stated, you will be hard pressed to find a better shop. Thank You Jake, and Thank You Troy!
We appreciate Jakes expertise and their honesty. We trust them to always find just what the problem is and after taking our cars there for 13 years we have never been unhappy with their work. In fact, when we have used other shops (closer to work, closer to a break down, etc..) we have almost always regretted that we didnt wait to use Jakes. 5 stars for sure.
Weβve been taking our cars to Jakeβs for various things for years. They are always pleasant, knowledgeable, and fair. Never disappointed, I recommend them!
Theyve always treated us fairly and professionally.
Excellent service. Jake is honest and upfront, and wont try and sell any unnecessary work. If theres work that should be done, but you can wait on, hell let you know. Great prices. Will be back for all our cars service and repairs.
Jake is the most honest mechanic in town. He always takes good care of my car is willing to help when a check engine light comes on and charges a fair price. I highly recommend Jakes Automotive!
Weβve been taking our cars to Jakeβs for years. We know we will always get great work but that we wonβt be paying too much or paying for unnecessary work. Jake is friendly, honest and quick. We would highly recommend Jakeβs Automotive.
Jake has always provided personal care and detailed interest in taking care of my older vehicles. I travel past numerous other opportunities to let him work on my cars because of this attention to detail.
As a lead foot it is important to have great brakes. Thanks for great timely service at a fair price .
