I had an issue with my car not starting i tried for several days to fix the issue but I couldn't. So I called Jacob and explained the problem I was having. Instead of just telling me tow your car bring it here and we will fix it at Gid know hiw much cost, he gave me a very good hint of what the issue likely was and what to do. Well, I followed the hint and figured out the problem within 30 minutes and the car started. I called him back to thank him of course for being an honest business guy and helping me without charging one cent. From now on I will bring my car to Jacob's the treatment was outstanding, someone you can trust for sure.read more

Unexpected repairs popped up that needed fixed. Jacob responded to my email immediately and set up a drop off for my 2011 Honda at his shop. Within a few days I was back on the road. This all took place during the Covid-19 shutdown and I really didn't expect to be able to have the repairs done for weeks. As always, excellent service by Jacob!read more

Jacob and his team are the consummate professionals in their line of work. It was a breath air to find an honest, decent and sincere group of folks. Generally, most mechanics want your money and that alone however; Jacob diagnosed my car and went over every little detail and option with me. Going forward, Jacob's Automotive is where I will go even though I live in Virginia. Thank you, Jacob!read more

Excellent Service, competitive rate, knowledgeable and friendly. Jacob is very honest and transparent. He always tells you what you need to fix your car, not what he wants. He always looks out for his customers to make sure they are happy. His prices are very competitive and his work is great. I always take my cars to him, because I trust him. If you are looking for an honest mechanic, which is hard to find, go or call Jacob. You will be glad you didiread more

I have always obtained outstanding service with Jacob's Autorama. They repaired both our Honda Odyssey Minivan and Lincoln Continental on several occasions for different issues over the years. The repairs and problems with the vehicles were completed, within a very reasonable time frame. We have recommended several people to this repair shop, over the years, and those who we referred, were very satisfied with the service. In addition, I would drop in to obtain advice on automobiles before purchasing, and took their advice on the purchase of our Hyundai Genesis. This is a great auto repair service, and I will continue to recommend this business currently and in the future.read more

Highly recommend! Jacob and his team are just super agreeable, honest, capable, and professional. As a younger woman I worry a lot about places giving me the runaround or trying to upsell me because they assume I don't know anything about my car (they're mostly right) but I don't have to worry about that here. Jacob will tell me honestly if I can get another 6 months out of my brake pads, etc. and has never suggested I fix something that isn't obviously on its very last leg. They do great work at very fair prices and are just delightful people in general. The location is super convenient too! Parking can be a little tricky if business is hopping, but they've always been able to squeeze me in.read more

He changed the price on me about fixing the alternator and after i argued with him about the price different he agreed to the price he orginally told me. On top of getting my car back he broke my axle, i went to another mechanic who told me that it was broke while changing the alternator and the oil was fresh from the axle due to the color! He must've done it purposely. Beware of this place they took advantage knowing i was a female. He thought by breaking my axle i would need him again, but i dont, the prices change so many times!read more

EXCELLENT SHOP I went to the shop yesterday to mount and balance new tires. While other shops wanted to charge me $30-35 per tire, he was the cheapest to do an excellent job for a FAIR amount ($17.5 per tire). Jacob was even shocked when I informed him about the others' prices. Jason, who did the job, was the most honest guy I have met in shops: his advice are like gems. SMALL SHOP BUT THE MOST FAIR PRICES AND HONESTY AROUND.read more
