Jason is the man! One of our chauffeurs had a serpentine belt break on the 405N, quick call to J's Garage and he was there within 30 Mins with a new serpentine belt. Unfortunately the starter stopped working as well - AAA towed the vehicle and had it fixed at his location. He was great, honest, and most importantly had my chauffeur on the road within a few hours. I've saved his contact and am sure we will be using him in the future. Even though our car service is in San Diego, our vehicles are sent to Los Angeles frequently and always great to have a mobile mechanic.
Thank you Jason!! A++

First off let me start by saying this guy some what knows about cars. I called JASON out for a diagnosis of my car because my car wouldn't start, when the car was running just fine the night before. He came out and scanned the car, his scanner showed a misfire in cylinder 3. That's it, no other code showed in his scanner. But I had a print out from last my code scan I got from pep boys, which read misfire cylinder 3 & low voltage 02 sensor(bank 2 sensor 2 ). JASON scanner did not pick up the 02 sensor code. So JASON said I think it's your fuel pump that has gone bad(not working). I said are you sure. He said I'm pretty sure that's the problem. So I took his word, and I went and bought a new fuel pump for JASON to install. Once he installed the pump he called me out to start the car up. When I went to start the car up, the car still would not start???????? So he said try again, and I did. Still the car did not start?????!. So then JASON looks around the car with a confused look on his face!??????! So he scans the car again. Same code pops up; misfire cylinder 3. So then I show JASON the pep boys paper of the code that came up on pep boy's scanner. JASON looks at the paper and says oh it must be the oxygen sensor(blank 2 sensor 2) that's keeping the car from starting. So I took his word and went and bought a rear oxygen sensor, he then installed the sensor. So, Again JASON says start the car up. I go to start the car, and still nothing(car wouldn't start)????? Then JASON again looks under the hood with a confused look on his face?????? JASON then says; oh you grab the wrong sensor?????! But by this time the local autozone was closed, so I had to wait till morning to exchange the sensor for the "so called" right sensor. When we all know a rear oxygen sensor will not cause any car not to start up???????!!! So JASON then say get the "so called" right sensor in the morning when autozone opens up, and we'll take it from there. I said okay that's a deal. Because at this point I'm still taking his word, him being the 5 star yelp mechanic and all. So anyways the morning time comes, and JASON texts my phone, not a phone call, but texted my phone and said hey(9:15am). I over slept that morning so I had missed the simple hey text. JASON then again texted again at 10:36am and said; hey I guess we're not doing the the job today????!!!!? By this time I was up and running and awake, on my way to exchange the sensor. I texted JASON and told him that. But at this point, JASON was texting back saying he all booked up in appointments for the day and was not going to be able to see me for the day because in his words "he's busy" and then JASON texts back that he will "get back to me"???! I said okay, I understand. So I waited about 4-5 hours for a reply back as to when my next appointment would be? JASON never replied back. JASON also wouldn't answer my calls or my texts. So I called JASON from another unknown number to see if JASON would pick up, And sure enough he answered. But once he found out it was me, he got real rude and disrespectful, and started yelling through the phone about how busy he is, and he does not have time to explain to me as to when my next appointment would be. JASON even used profanity words while saying all this to me!!!!! I was so frustrated at the lack of customer service, and lack of JASON knowledge for cars. That I told JASON I no longer need his services. JASON then replied back with even more rude disrespectful comments. JASON is so unprofessional and rude and does not really have under the hood mechanic skills that he claims!!!!!!!!
LONG STORY SHORT.................
BEAWARE OF THIS LOWLIFE wannabe mechanic. I spent about $300.00 bucks with this guy (JASON) and my car still won't start. OMG a total waste of time and money, I even miss a day of work because he took all night long doing nothing!!!!!!!!!!!
********You'll be better off going to a REAL mechanic shop. You'll be glad you did!

Jason is very good mechanic and a great person. He is super flexible and was really helpful.
Our car broke on freeway and Jason helped us to fix it at very reasonable cost. He helped us on Sunday when it was really difficult to find someone to look at our car. Since our car was broken, he also helped us with a ride to Autozone to pick the required parts. He really goes out of way to assist you, very honest and charges are very reasonable. He charged us for the labor only.
I would recommend him if you are looking for honest, nice, helpful, and reasonable mechanics.

I was in a terrible situation when the gas pump in my 99 Saab went out with only four days before my rent was due! I was panicking. Jason talked me through it step by step first finding an extemely affordable tow option, keeping in touch with me and working out the money part, looking for the option that fit my almost non-existent budget and even brought the car to me late at night as soon as he finished. I will now use him for regular maintenance on my car from now on. On top of all of this (as you can tell from reading the other reviews), he is just a really straight up, good person.

Jason was quick to handle my auto needs. I totally ruined one of my rotors. J did a killer job. He recommended the best/least expensive auto parts store in the area. He quickly replaced my rotor and brake pads. Got the job done for a fraction of the cost that a conventional repair shop would charge. The best part is that he offers to help you out if you ever get stranded in the future. This dude goes the extra mile, literally.

J replaced front brake pads on my VW Passat just after 90 minutes after my first call. Amazing speed, very honest (no extra services proposed, no talks about you need to replace something else etc.), and really fair price (no one gave me so good price in LA, San Francisco, Daly City and Oakland for the last year). Excellent!

Jason definitely knows cars. He has been my go-to-guy for all my auto repair needs. He is honest and fair and makes sure you leave satisfied. I've saved so much money by taking my car to J's Garage and having Jason do the work for a fraction of the cost a big name auto repair shop charges. Give him a call if you ever need work done to your car, you'll be glad you did!

Jason was super easy to work with - he provided an estimate by text message within a few minutes of contacting him, and we proceeded to schedule an appointment. He arrived promptly and began work immediately, completing a 4-wheel brake job on one of my vehicles, and replacing the Oxygen sensor on another. His work is conscientious and his prices are fair. I'll definitely use his services again, and highly recommend Jason to anyone that needs affordable and convenient auto care.
