Used the tackle shop not the auto shop. Owner is super straight forward and does not try to up sell you. Prices are very fair.

I own a 1995 Cadillac El Dorado and needed a smog with a special machine since it was made before 2000. Called around to several places and was recommended to J & D. Jose answered the phone, very nice, made an appointment with me for the next day and I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. I will ALWAYS take my car to this shop--great people and very appreciative--everyone thanked me for coming in!!

They were quickly able diagnose my issue, and schedule an appointment the next day.James was very friendly and was able to answer my questions. They were very transparent with all the work they planned to do to the car, and called to update me and ask since more work needed to be done, and asked if that would be alright.Very affordable as well.Highly reccomend!

Wonderful experience here today. They were honest and did not replace my headlight that seemed to have just come disconnected. They were VERY quick, and we're exceptionally polite and professional. (Rare trait in MBay area, I've found). They have definitely earned my repeat business!

J and D has excellent service and saved us $700. The Chevy dealer told us we needed front brakes, the pads still had 90% left on them. I would highly recommend them!!!

My family always goes to J & D Auto. My father in law recommended this place and he is VERY particular on who touches his vehicle. I've never had to wait very long, of course it always depends on what's being done. But I highly recommend

Quality Service. This team made a mundane necessity of a Smog Check easy and dare I say it, even enjoyable.
J and D offered excellent service in a timely manner .I would definitely recommend them and would go back.

I came for a STAR smog check and I didn't have an appointment, so I figured I would drop off my car and return later. But the mechanic offered to do it immediately, right before his lunch. He was so fast, friendly, and fun too! He even waved me over to show me what codes he was pulling from my car. It was cool to see and learn about, I can't believe I actually had fun at my smog check!The price for the STAR smog check was in line with all the other places I called in the area. I was worried about my car failing because I recently had a check engine light, and they even offered a discount if my car failed. I have never been so delighted by a smog check, I will definitely be back!

These folks are the best. They have been my go to auto repair shop for about 5 years and I’ve never been let down on any occasion. They’re honest, transparent, and always looking out for their client’s best interests. If you don’t want to deal with any BS, and want to be treated like family, go to J and D.
