Double J Auto- Allen Peake

All work done on my vehicles has always been done in Carson City, decided to try and find a shop locally. After seeing Double J Auto add on Facebook I decided to give them a try. Since that day they have done all my automotive work.
Not only is the quality there but the honesty and fair prices earned my loyalty.
Do highly recommend Doubly J

Honest helpful everything else you look for in a mechanic check these guys out you won’t be let down and the prices are well you can’t beat them

These guys rock. Very friendly staff as you walk in the shop. Very efficient, helpful. Very heplful. I bought a set of tires was unsure of how good they would be and ever since i bought them i am in delight, i drive in the snow over 60miles a day i have not had to put car into 4 wheel drive. Also, i had squeeky brakes and tire valve leaking they jumped right in and fixed them for me free of charge. Even got road side assistance. I recomend double j to everyone who wants excellent service and products. and a very friendly, fun, hard working staff. Thanks Double J I will be back. Keep on Rocking!!!

This review is from my mother Galit, who went in today after having an issue of getting her truck to start. Everyone in the shop was personable and friendly. However, today Allen went above and beyond, he was upfront about his prices and was very knowledgable about his craft. She had nothing but amazing things to say about these guys so I’m going to leave a review here and on fb. If you want professional service, great prices and technicians who really know their stuff, come to Double J Auto!!!

Passing through from southern California I ran into truck problems. I took it to Double J and they had me fixed up in minutes. They were honest as the day is long and I would bring my truck there anytime. Also, they have a contribution jar on the counter for their kids football team. Every time I pass through, you guys can count on me to contribute to the jar. Thanks again for the great service.

My hubby and I have come here 4 – 5 times… NEVER for a repeated problem. They have done their job correctly the first time every time we’ve come here. We have 2 vehicles that are 10+ years old so we are starting to have some issues with them. We found this shop via Unilocal and have had nothing but insanely wonderful service from them. Their pricing is on point, but with the honesty and welcoming customer service we get here, I could almost care less how much they charge. I can whole heartedly say that this shop will not rip you off, if anything you will walk away spending less than expected. Trust me, for the sake of your car… and wallet, check this place out!

I have brought all three of my daughters vehicles into Double «J» over a period of a year. Allen has been more than accommodating each and every visit. I’m a stickler for detail and I have a difficult time trusting car shops due to my past experiences. Being a retired police officer and now an investigator, my bullshit meter is fully functional and extremely prejudice with con-​artist types in the auto repair shop industry.
The first time I brought my oldest daughter’s middle of the road, soccer mom van in with air intake issues. Allen took the time immediately to diagnose the issue and drive the vehicle around the block even though he was busy repairing a vehicle. Allen and I had never met prior to this visit. He was able to help me leave the shop with no costs to me. The second time Allen worked on one of my daughter’s Subarus and was able to fix the vehicle and get it back on the road with a barter in trade. Who the heck does that these days? The third visit was this last Monday when my third daughter’s Subaru took a dive with an over heating engine.
Allen replaced the radiator and took the extra effort to clean out the engine with a product the previous owner had tried to stop a leak. This blockage caused a little more work than expected for Allen. After the vehicle was complete and I was paying for the bill, Allen took an additional amount of money off with no prompting at all. I never asked for the discount nor did I suggest one. The break was a very nice gesture that not many mechanics will do for the customer. The car is running good and appears to have been completely repaired. I thought Allen deserved the accolades and appreciation from this happy customer. Allen will be referred to everyone I know.
In addition, Allen was very polite and customer service oriented. I believe he truly wants to see his customers be happy and safe. Thank you, Allen!

Got some tires done at Double J. He (in his words) «owed» me a free oil change because of a concern I had with their work over the summer – which was probably more a simple oversight. Even though he took care of the problem and I told him it wasn’t needed – he remembered all these months that he still «owed» us one. Had him look at some crazy quotes that Carson Honda gave us in September – such as a dead rodent that would cost a few benji’s to remove. Nice try. Double J confirmed there was no dead rodent. He also saved us 300 over the summer on a headlight that Washington and Carson Honda wanted to charge 300 for after not fixing it the first time. I’m not mechanic, but I’m also not idiot. I knew it was a wiring issue, they wanted to get a whole new harness. He fixed it for free – tightened a wire – boom. LAST, BTW, he also fixed a super annoying sound in my aunt’s car this past summer before she passed. She had been trying to get it fixed for 3 years and paid a bunch of wasted money to Tires Plus for nothing. I tried getting her to rid of the car and stop putting money in it, but she insisted to take it to my mechanic because I liked them so much – just one more thing to be grateful for at Double J.

Took my Charger to get new tires on it and an oil change. Allen was real nice. Work was done promptly. Price was great. Work was not good. After they were done I looked at the tires and rims and noticed that they had A LOT of black marks all over them. I thought well their prices are good so what, I have to scrub some black marks off them. Well when I cleaned them they were all scratched up and chipped. All four rims at 300+ each. I contacted Allen and he took no responsibility for them said there is no way they could have done it. Well the tires that were on it were the original tires so the rims were never touched by any mechanics except to clean and polish. They were prestine. So now I’m forced to file an Insurance claim and pay my deductible which I will try to get from the Double J jackasses. Guess that’s why they call it Double J. The J stands for Jackass. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from them. Unless you don’t care about QUALITY WORK and INTEGRITY.

Allen the owner is a no nonsense kind of guy. He is honest and trustworthy. I will only take my cars to him! He doesn’t do unnecessary repairs, he does make recommendations based on what he sees but he leaves it up to you to make the decision of what you want done. No overselling no overpricing. He will go out of his way to make sure your car is safe and running good. I say this because we took one of our cars to him because the rear brakes sounded horrible. After getting a quote from Les Schwab for over $ 750.00, he found that the rear brakes just needed cleaning and adjusting. Total tab was $ 30.00. Enough said!

Allen is the best. He is honest and very knowledgeable when it comes to cars. He seems to be the type of person that wants to help no matter what. Recently I had a hug problem with Gilson Auto Body destroying my engine and taking no responsibility for their mistake, Allen tore my car apart and took the time to find out what Gilson had done and how to fix the problem. Then he went to court with me and helped me win my case. I would recommend this shop for all your auto needs.
