My 99 Jeep WJ needed a new passenger side cv boot on the front axle. Current custom is to replace the axle rather than the boot. Current custom is more expensive for the customer but eliminates questions about the old exposed cv joint status. J & D did good work, let me inspect the completed installation while the car was on the rack, explained my other chassis conditions that could be addressed and identified a rear wheel seal leak that needed to be done. I had them do the rear wheel seal repair. I am pleased with the process and the result so far.

My very pregnant (8 1/2 months) daughter and I bought a used car from J&D Automotive in the end of April this year, 2017. It was a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue. We were told by the owner that he had replaced the engine and the newer engine only had 34,000 miles on it so the car should last a long time. The car was for sale for $1,900.00, as is, but with this newer motor, what could go wrong. She took it for oil changes, and took good care of it. She has had it about 6 months and noticed it started running hot. We had it towed to our mechanic in Red Bluff and he found block sealer and a cracked head gasket. I just got off the phone with J & D Automotive letting him know and asking if he wanted to buy the car back, he said he "personally drove that car for 7 or 8 months with the AC on, because that's the kind of person he is", and no, he wouldn't buy it back, he doesn't know what anyone did to it, hmmm. I know what my daughter didn't do to it, she didn't let anyone mess with the car, why, because we have a mechanic and I help her with her bills. Also, we ended up paying him $2,000 for the car because he charged me for an oil change before we took it and the smog. Then when he gave us the bill of sale and registration, he put down that we only paid $500.00 for the car. I was really uneasy about that, but he said it would save us money. At the time I thought, yeah, you aren't thinking of us, you're thinking of the money it will save you in taxes. Now I realize he may have done it because who is going to believe that when we bought a car for "$500.00" and it breaks down, we would have any recourse. In other words, I do not recommend purchasing a car from him, and after our experience, I certainly wouldn't use him for my mechanic.

I had a water pump issue and brought my car (with high mileage) in without being too sure what was wrong with it. Let me bring to your attention that I am not car savvy whatsoever, my friend is a little but we really didn't know what was going to be wrong with it. I left my car with them for the weekend, and the first day they let me know it was a water pump issue and a thermostat issue, possibly some head gasket issues, and some radiator hoses needed replacing. The bill ended up being a lot bigger than I expected, so I just let them do work on the water pump. 2 Days Later, Ryan called me letting me know that they did extra work anyway, but they did not charge me for labor! I had to pay for the extra parts but it turned out not being too much more expensive. I used my AAA card and that got me 10% off the bill. The car is running great, and they are not just good at their job, they are good people at heart as well. I'll be going here again.

Outstanding service. Prices a bit high but like many things you get what you pay for. For repairs that are honest and high quality it is worth paying a bit more

J and D Automotive really saved me. My car broke down on a long road trip and I was towed to J and D. Dan (the owner) and the young man at the front desk were so polite and helpful. They did a great job fixing my car and even came in an hour early to get it done so that I could get back on the road. They were very thorough in explaining what had happened to my car and what options I had to fix it. They even drove my son and I and our two dogs to and from the hotel where we had to stay the night. Thank you J and D Automotive.
