John Jay Automotive

John has worked on both my husband’s Honda Accord and my Honda CRV. With both vehicles he was honest about repairs and took the time to explain what we needed to do and when. His prices are very fair as well. He also has a great wifi network for customers waiting and there is a quiet area to work while you wait. After feeling ripped off at a nearby mechanic in the airpark and then dealing with high prices and a loud waiting room with spotty wifi at the dealer, I am extremely happy we found John for our vehicle maintenance and repairs.

This was my 3^rd time bringing my 06 Odyssey in to John (all different issues!!) and I continue to be extremely pleased with the service I received. I was able to schedule quickly and the repair took less time than John predicted. His services are very fairly priced and reliable. I also just learned he has a playroom which is so helpful for this busy mom!!!

John listens and doesn’t needlessly upsell. Always honest and fair. I just wish he was closer to Scottsdale and Shea.

John Jay Automotive is the only honest repair shop I have ever ran into and I will continue to go there and recommend my friends. John is extremely knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend this place to anyone. The rates are reasonable and he won’t tell you that you need to fix things that don’t require fixing. Honest guys!!!

I have to say that John «Jay» is seriously one of the good guys out there. He knows his stuff, honest machanic, works hard to get your car looked at as quick as possible! Had a few repairs done and he was always great with explaining the issue, giving me options and letting me decide what I wanted to do. I would recommend him to anyone. I’m a girl so I would really recommend him to any girl out there, he won’t take advantage!

EXCELLENT! We just brought our vehicle in for the first time. Scheduling was easy — he was even able to get us in the next morning. The price was fair (much lower than the dealership estimate). The owner was very personable. Hopefully we won’t need to be back for a while, but when we do need repairs, we know where we’ll take our vehicles. We will highly recommend this shop to all of our friends and family!

This is the BEST of the BEST. I had been told I needed a radiator and a friend of mine said that I should get a second opinion before spending the money. When I took my vehicle into Jay he thoroughly checked (which had not been done by the prior auto shop) and he found a little hose that was leaking. He replaced it for $ 180.00 and saved me 700.00. I recommend Ray and his honest work to everyone. Thank you Jay and your team over there!

John Jay Automotive was recommended by Napa Auto parts even though he wasn’t one of their car care centers. Jay has done such a great job for me. I first brought my 57 Chevy Belair to him to charge up the Air conditioning. I just don’t trust a regular mechanic to touch that car. I have since had him work on my 2002 Honda CRV. He did a timing belt and brake job on my 2003 Tundra. Now I have the 57 back in his shop to turn the rear rotors, change out the exhaust. He even found some issues that I didn’t ask him to look at and corrected them very easily. Recently he worked on my 68 442 charging up the AC. I can’t tell you enough how pleased I am with his and the shops work. I didn’t know Jay from Adam, before Napa recommended him and I am sure glad they did. Just an honest family man taking care of business. The shop is professional and clean. A true professional.

Quality service, accurate and timely diagnostics, fair price. Being from out of town and having had a highway breakdown on my way to Scottsdale, I called my trusted hometown NAPA affiliated repair shop for some suggestions of a NAPA affiliate near where I was staying. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I had made a wise choice. Jay was working with another customer and was telling her that he would not do certain repairs because they were warranty items on her vehicle and that the dealer would complete those repairs at no charge.
I had just a few days in town before I needed to return home. Within a few hours of my vehicle being there, they had completed thorough diagnostics, which were detailed on the final invoice, and after calling me for approval of the repairs had me back in my vehicle the next day. I felt the same confidence and trust that I place with my regular repair shop.

Fantastic service and honest repairs. The fear that can sometimes accompany going to a mechanic shop went out the window when working with Jay. He’s very knowledgable and when I got the bill, I was expecting there to be additional pages, because I was expecting a much higher price. If you are in the Scottsdale or Phoenix area, you can expect expertise and honesty when dealing with this company. I’ve worked with a few different mechanics before and can’t say that any have ever impressed me like John Jay Automotive.

John Jay Automotive is a great place to take your vehicles for service or repair. I just had some repair work done as well as an oil change and they are very thorough, honest, expedient and one of the least expensive places I have taken my vehicle for work. I highly recommend them!

Jay is very unique in the repair business, he is professional, honest and fair. i owned a small chain of shops in California before changing careers and Jay takes care of all of our cars. You could not ask for a better person to trust for all of your needs.

Great experience! I just had my car serviced at John Jay Automotive for the first time. Scheduling was easy, the repair was done right and the price was much better than what I’d been quoted by others. Most importantly I trusted the guy. Not something I can say about the dealer or other shops I’ve tried. I’ll be back. It’s a small shop and a relatively new business. He came recommended by a trusted co-​worker. Worth trying for your next service or repair.

Jay has been in the auto business a long time. I took my truck in for brakes because they were squealing. He called later and said the brakes were fine and that they had just gotten hot and that was the reason for the noise. He could have done the brakes and made a bit more money, but that is the kind of guy he is. We are lucky to know him.
I absolutely trust him and I would recommend him to anyone.
Also his prices are very reasonable compared to the place I used to go.
