What Our Customers are Saying...

J.P.
I have the utmost respect for Jim and always recommend him, his work and his expertise to anyone who needs any type of automotive assistance, even for ATVs or WaterSports equipment. He is just packed full of knowledge and knowhow.

He can build/re-build nearly anything ranging from simple Saturns to Ford Mustangs to import cars, even high performance "MUSCLE/STOCK" cars - this man can and will continue to do it all.

Jim, himself, is an awesome guy and when I worked for him many years back he was a superb mentor to learn from.

My family & friends have used Jim's Auto many times throughout 20 years of living in the Ft. Myers area and we all know his service and quality of workmanship is top notch.
W. Phillips
Very friendly and honest, does all he says he will do, and goes the extra effort to make sure your auto is 100%. His services are priced very fairly and a lot lower than the manufacturer's repair shops. I've used him for 3 family autos and a couple of service trucks over the last few years.
J. Starrak
Came home from vacation to find my rotors and brakes screaming. Called up and dropped my car of and had everything fixed within 2 hours. Quick and friendly service. Will definitely use them again.
Richard K.
My son paid for the work. I was a little bit worried that they might try to take advantage of the situation since he is a clueless college student. I actually met with them when we picked up the car and they did only what he asked them to do. The repair was successful and they did not try to tell him that other things needed to be done. Everything went smoothly.
Karen
I called for an estimated price. After scheduling the appointment, and meeting the team, I was very impressed. They had the work completed the same day, and with the coupon they offered through Angie's list, I saved 20%!
Richard G.
He has now hired another mechanic. The mechanic is excellent. He is very busy. He does good work and guarantees his work. He keeps our car running in excellent condition. He doesn't have a fancy storefront or anything like that, but he's grown and upgraded a lot lately. He now has an alignment machine, too. He is ASE certified. He provides great service at very reasonable prices. He guarantees everything and stands behind his work. He's what I would call a true business person and is in it to do good work and help people.
Alice
The original bill was $735.08; with Angie's discount the bill was $624.81. I went back to him a second time, but didn't have the information in front of me at the time. I know I was satisfied with the work which was done and the price seemed reasonable. Two of my friends also go to him. I would recommend Jim's Automotive to any future customers.
Steven
Having spent over 15 years in the car repair business, I know when I have found a good, reliable, honest repair facility. Jim's Automotive is such a place. Trustworthy and reliable. Thank you Jim and to your crew. I will recommend you to my friends and neighbors.
James
Jim is a great guy who provides a very reasonable price. His work is always done in a timely manner. He is very honest and reliable.
Kennith
Our daughter is a student at FGCU and one night her car just simply stopped running WHILE she was driving. Since we are not from Ft. Myers we had no idea who to call for towing or for service. We joined Angie's list hoping that it would help us find an honest person. We were right! We found Jim at Jim's Automotive. He told us of the tow company to call, he took care of the tow bill and just added it onto our bill with him. That made it much easier since we are 3 hours away and dealing with all this by phone. He checked out our daughters car and called with an estimate, did the repairs, and then upon our request, fulling inspected the car for any other items needing attention. He called back with a few odds and ends and fixed everything VERY REASONABLY! My husband and co-workers were shocked at the work that was done and how low the final bill was. He explained everything and we found him to be very honest and reliable. I am keeping his number in case we have any other issues during our daughters stay in Ft. Myers. We only wish he wasn't so far away from us! WE ARE VERY HAPPY PARENTS!

Good service, fair price, the job done right; what else could you ask for?

I was visiting in Fort Myers, and my car began making a clunking noise from the rear suspension. After finding Jim's on Angie's List, I called them on a Monday morning, and he told me to bring the car by that afternoon. I did, and when I got there, he had Mitch look at it. It took Mitch less than 10 minutes to figure out the problem, which was the rear sway bar links. In order to fix it, they would need to special order the parts, which they did. I returned the next day at the appointed time, and they did the work while i waited. The price they charged was a couple of dollars less than the estimate they had provided me the day before, and then with the Angie's List discount, it was 10% less than that.

I've a very tough critic on auto repairs services. I am very happy with their service, and will take my car there again.

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
