Engine repair service near Orange Park, FL

Dave has worked on my family's cars for years and we were so upset to move out of state because we worried we would never find a mechanic like him again. Although I am no longer a customer, I recently called Japanese Auto Specialists with a question about a repair they did two years ago. Dave went above and beyond to help, even speaking to my local mechanic to work things out. Dave is so knowledgeable, honest and generous ; and I appreciate the time he has taken to give advice, explain my options and then do good work. Japanese Auto Specialists will take care of you - I highly recommend them! -Alice Oliver

Having an auto repair facility that’s honest, trustworthy and courteous is a breath of fresh air in these days and times, especially if you’ve been watching TV showing all the rip-offs and shoddy work being performed. In contrast, RPM technicians are highly trained, not only mechanically but on the latest computerized technology. Since all autos these days are run by computers, they keep up on the latest diagnostic technology; then apply this new technology to your automobile. Doing this will most likely pinpoint your problem, saving you time and money. If you give them an opportunity I’m sure they will meet your auto repair expectations as they did mine. If not, talk to Tommy the manager, if given the chance, I’m sure he will try his best to make it right. They have 10 locations in Jacksonville, so it’s likely there’s a facility near you.

I was new to the Jacksonville area and needed to have some work done on my car. I called over to Tubels and they fit me in that day. They diagnosed what was wrong with car and even fixed it that day. I guess that is why they must be one of the top auto repair shops in Jacksonville FL.

Chris came to my rescue today. I just had my oil changed at the oil change place down the street and the next time I started my car there were multiple warning lights on. He hooked it up to monitor, opened the hood and said "here's your problem" as he reconnected a hose. I was on my way in 5 minutes and he didn't charge me. We have used Westside Automotive for many years for our vehicle repairs and always been satisfied. I guess I should have used them for the oil change too so it would have been done right. See you in about 5,000 miles Chris!

I have twice used H and M for machine work while rebuilding engines. The first time in 1995 was on a Ford 2.9L V-6. They tanked the block, bored and honed the cylinders, align bored the crank journals, pressed in new cam bearings, installed reconditioned rods on new pistons, turned and polished the crank, installed freeze plugs, and painted the block. They also supplied all my parts for the rebuild. Cost me a total of $863.00 back then. (Didn't need the heads done) About a one week turnaround time. Everything was great. I again used H and M this past year for basically the same job on a Ford 3.0 V-6. Same excellent results! I am going to bring them my Dodge 3.9 this spring after the riding weather gets here, and I am looking forward to it already! Signed, Ed McWhorter in Middleburg. Thanks!

can't steer, no traction, bad gas mileage, 4 speeding tickets... job well done... fast truck 10 second runs, great price for performance Thanks Rob Chevelle next???

Beyond slow... Was told the previous day "be here at 7:45 and you'll be the first in" since I've been here at 7:45 now 9:25 there has been 2 people in and out before me... Sitting here for nearly a hours now and have yet to look at my truck.. Last time I was here I sat for an hour and then he said they won't be able to get to it... I do not recommend this place unless you have all day to wait.

I had my Dakota trans overhauled at this shop and have nothing but shifting problems despite bringing it back 3 times it's still was not right! Got tired of dealing with the rude manager and took it to another shop to make it right. Never again.

Came in to check noise from front brakes. I feared the worst since its my wifes car. After they checked it out found I only needed front pads everything else was good. Price was really good for high quality ceramic pads. I will start using this shop for both of our cars.

I just bought four 22" rims and saved about a grand. The shop didn't have the tires I wanted in a 22" size or I would have given them 5 stars.

I had a horrible experience at this shop. I am a single working mother and I was having some problems with my car overheating. I needed the radiator flushed (knew what the problem was) so I called to see if they could help me since they were the closest shop to my house and I did not want to overheat. The woman on the phone told me to come right in so I did. When I got there I reminded her that I had called about the flush. She proceeded to suggest that I pay for a "diagnostic test" first to see why the car was overheating. I knew why it was overheating, so I just wanted it flushed. Somehow I let her talk me into giving me this diagnostic test. It took them about an hour to "diagnose" my car. The told me I needed $1,800 worth of repairs and that my entire cooling system was ruined, which meant I needed to replace the radiator, thermostat, and every single hose. I was almost in tears because I have no money and I need my car to take my small child to school and to get to work. When I asked if there was any other resolution I was told that this was the only way I could have a working vehicle. They refused to flush the radiator for me because they insisted it was impossible to get the substance out. They suggested I apply for their credit card, but I do not have good credit as I am a struggling single mother. I left in tears and without hope. The next day my friend connected me with a man who had a small shop. He flushed my radiator out and changed my thermostat for $50. The car no longer overheats and it runs like a champ. Tires Plus is a perfect example of auto shops that try to rip innocent poor people off. The worst part about the whole thing was that it was another woman who tried to do me dirty. Damn shame. Oh and they also left a dirty rag on my engine and they never put my radiator cap back on my car. WTF? If I could give this shop a negative star I would.

I called Precision Crankshaft when the head gasket blew on my mustang. They quoted me $35 to resurface the heads. When I went back to pick them up they charged me $224. When I asked why there was such a price difference they stated that they went ahead and performed a vacuum test and a pressure test. Both were services I never asked for and they were never mentioned in any quote. I feel they were dishonest with me from the beginning. They should have included those services in the initial quote so I was not blind-sided by the price difference.
