Jacoby’s Auto Repair & Service

Specialties

Jacoby’s Auto Repair Has Been owned and operated by its lead mechanic, Ron Jacoby since December 1999.

We specialize in the diagnosis, repair and servicing of Toyota Prius, any other Hybrid vehicles, all Asian and Domestic cars and light trucks. We are known for fixing problems that other shops and even dealerships can’t. Our maintenance services will satisfy your new car warranty requirements. There is no need to return to the new car dealer for any service except new car warranty and recalls. We would never think of selling you a repair or service that you don’t need but we will inform you of anything we notice that could cause trouble in the future. We make our recommendations and you decide the course of action. We will advise you when it makes sense to combine jobs to save labor time and when it is safe and reasonable to put off repairs to a later time. Our goal is to make your vehicle safe, reliable, comfortable and long lasting for the least amount of money possible.

History

Established in 1999.

Jacoby’s Auto Repair has been owned and operated by Ron Jacoby since December 20^th 1999. Around the year 2001, we began to take notice of the popularity of The Toyota Prius here in northern California. Intrigued by the technology, we committed ourselves to learning as much as possible about this exciting new design. We began by attending any and all available training on the Toyota Hybrid System (THS) and then later the Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) systems. Along the way picking up knowledge of Honda’s less complicated Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system. But training can only take you so far and as soon as our knowledge, equipment and confidence were up to speed, we began actively promoting our Hybrid service and repair skills. The fleet of hybrids we service began growing steadily. In 2007 we purchased our first Hybrid Camry, and in 2012 we acquired our Generation 1 2002 Prius (in need of a traction battery at 120k).

Meet the Business Owner

Ron J.

Business Owner

Ron Jacoby, the owner began training in the auto repair field early helping his father keep the family cars going. At the time this work mostly consisted of picking up dropped parts or fetching tools at dad’s request. He was around 8 years old. By the end of high school, (1985) he had completed three years of training in the Regional Occupational Program (ROP) offered through De Anza College. He then completed two more years of training at De Anza Auto Tech in their full time college level program.

Ron worked for a few different independent shops before finding one that lived up to his high standards of quality, and honesty. He was employed there for 10 years. Then, on December 20, 1999 he purchased and took over operation of a shop that was at the time known as J. P Chand. Its existing clientele were used to the high level of quality and honesty that Ron brought to the business. 14 years later, Jacoby’s Auto Electronic and Service is still going strong.
