VERY HELPFUL!! He was kind and knowledgeable. Told me what my issue was and how to go about getting it fixed. I appreciate the kindness and the tips on how to get the job finished. Highly recommend.

Theres only one thing you need to know about this place, Jay. After that, life just gets better. Lets see, knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, reasonable, honest, genuine. Why go anywhere else? Just call him and ask a question, youll see for yourself. I did. Now, Jay is the only one that touches my car. Only a fool would do otherwise. Thanks Jay. Dont retire, I need you...Roy.

Called Jay about getting a pre-purchase inspection for a car I was interested in buying. Jay was super helpful over the phone and was very generous with his time. Great guy. He literally looked up the craigslist ad on his own and analyzed it with me while we were talking. He helped me to see a few red flags. I ended up not going for the car, but I will definitely keep Jay in mind for any car related need I might have in the future.

Most trustworthy helpful and experienced mechanic on the coast..Jay is someone you can trust

Always honest work and great people

Jays automotive has worked on all of my cars. trustworthy reliable and fast. has been around for a long time i will continue to take my vehicles to Jay . I thank them for their wonderful service

I always get my vehicles smogged here. They are friendly, and the price is fair and competitive!

Jays Automotive is one of the best auto shops in Santa Maria. I have not met a more honest mechanic. On one occasion, my car was rattling and I brought it to Jay. He tightened up some bolts which corrected the problem and sent me on my way, refusing payment. Jays professionalism helps him maintain a loyal customer base, of which I am proud to be. I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

Jay did a pre-purchase diagnostic inspection and was incredibly helpful and in-depth and took time to discuss the results in detail. Really appreciate it!

Jay is a superhero, friendly, informative... Ya feel like the man just knows stuff and sees you as a person and not as a receipt.Thanks for the help.

Very reliable. Always have had a positive experience.

Rolled back miles on car

Quick and painless 15 minute smog check on a Friday morning. Perfect experience and reasonable rate. Jay was caring, knowledgeable and polite. Thanks for the excellent service!

Very helpful and knowledgeable

Jay is the best. Honest and super efficient.

Always great service, honest, reliable & professional. I take all my cars there, have been for years & will continue to. Highly recommend jays automotive

For me, a trip to the mechanic is as bad or worse than a trip to the dentist for a root canal. Jay and his crew are honest mechanics, they charge fair prices, and their work is top-notch. This is the only mechanic in Santa Maria that I will trust with my cars for repairs as well as smog checks. Besides being an A+ auto repair shop, Jay is a great guy and will bend over backwards to treat his customers well. Highly recommended.

Great service! Came in with no appointment and they smogged my truck. Was out of there in about a half hour. Both gentlemen were great.

I called them, I needed smog check and they took care of my car the minute I got there. Fast and clean.Ill recommend this place to everyone I know.

I was so scared going into any mechanic because I know nothing about cars. My car was having some issues I had been to two other places in town and they hadn’t been able to fix the problem with my car or tell me what was going on . Jays automotive came highly recommended by a lot of my friends and coworkers, so I went in to have my car checked out. Him and his team were so knowledgeable, kind, and realistic. He broke things down in real terms and realistic goals for my car to be repaired. I’m so thankful I found his shop and a reliable mechanic to take my car to. I will highly recommend jays automotive to friends and family !

Great place, great prices, and quick service

Have known this man for over twenty five years. He has repaired several cars for me and has always done so efficiently and honestly at reasonable prices.I have advised my children and grandchildren to go there and was never disappointed. He will always tell you the truth and never try to over sell you something you dont need.He has old-fashioned integrity which is great!.

These guys are fast nice and fair priced. I recently brought my car here. I had told them what was wrong with it and explained I would need it back same day if possible. They had it fixed in about an hour. I am so happy I decided to go with them. It was a brake master cylinder and he gave me a fair decent price. I wont say the cost because every vehicle is different. If you want to be treated right Jays auto is the place to go.

I trust Jay and his team with my car. I went in there and instead of nickle-and-dime-ing me for all my cars problems, he recommended replacing the car and didnt even charge me for the inspection. Hes honest, and his prices have always been fair. I wont go anywhere else.

Great people, quick and quality service.

My husband and I have been customers of Jays Automotive for four years. His repair work has always been completely satisfactory. We appreciate Jays integrity, his mechanical expertise, his reasonable prices, and his clear communication--there are no games here. This business gets my highest recommendation.

I knew when Chuck Pickle recommended Jays for smogging my pickup it would be a good experience. It was. The work was done quickly, the price was what I was quoted when I made the appointment, and the folks were all pleasant. Ill go back.

A. Very. Loveing. House. Prais. Gob

Jay is great. Very knowledgeable and honest.

This has to be the rudest place i have ever been to. They only knew Spanish and when i got there no one even bothered to say hello. I would never get a smog or service there ever.

Been doing business there for years, would t go anywhere else

Honest to a fault.
