What Our Customers are Saying...

JD Auto and Truck provides reliable, great service. I know, when I make an appointment, they aren't going to try and sell me something I don't need. I can trust them and that's important to me. Their waiting room is humble, but they offer coffee and they have wifi. If your repair is going to take a while, they can offer you a local ride so you can avoid hanging out there all day. Bottom line is they're friendly, honest, hard working auto mechanic's who know what they're doing, and isn't that what we're all looking for?
-Frank C.
Honest people, friendly stuff.
-AE M.
Everyone here is very knowledgeable, they have state of the art facility. Plus all of their mechanics are highly experienced with top certifications. Their front desk Nick is very patient and friendly. They can find any problem and you can trust everyone here to make sure your vehicle is in the best hands possible.
-Kat F.
Trained & knowledgeable mechanics who will take the time to thoroughly discuss issues with your vehicle. Confidence that when your repairs are complete "they were done right". Shop organization & housekeeping is top notch.
-Mark D.
Fantastic low cost service!
-C.F.
Always took my vehicles there when I lived in the area. Great service, always done right.
-Declan R.
My car came back to me better than ever. I had no issues at all and everything was BS free. It can be hard to find professional service and that's what I received here. They were accommodating and honest.
-Cole M.
...you do always get what you pay for. They will find and fix any problem fast and right the first time. No games here. They fix only what needs to be fixed, and more importantly don't break something else while fixing your problem like other more shoddy garages might, saving both time and money in the long run.
-Thomas H.
I have been taking my 1996 Honda to JD for the last 3 years now. I have 200K miles. They have never steered me wrong. They get the job done right, the first time. They are very knowledgeable and experienced. They are not cheap, probably the same rates as most good auto shops and dealers, but you get what you pay for. I don't take my car anywhere else and I recommend them highly.
-Jay
Been going there for awhile. Very satisfied with the work. Good people. Honest. Would highly recommend this place. If you think they might be over priced, remember one thing. You get what you pay for. Clean facility.
-Rob M.
Very Honest. I have been taking my vehicle to JD for about 3 years now and they have always been very honest with me and the job is always done right and very fast. I highly recommend this shop.

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.
