My husband took his VW in to fix his gas gage and a gas leak, three times, round trip six times, not willing to drop him off after so many trips there, they told him to caught an umber, not business like at all, so on the third time of picking up the VW, the gas leak is suppose to be fix, but the gas gage is not, and my husband was told it would cost him more money to try something else to fix it, the whole experience was unacceptable, unprofessional and a waste of time, energy and money in a nut shell beware. By the way the only reason I gave one star is because I could not post this review with out it.

I ve been going to JMG repair for about 8 years now for tune ups and other work related to my Vw beetles. Pablo and his assistant (I think his name is Juan) have always taken care of me and my bugs starting with the first one that I bought in 2012 all the way up to my current 66 (3 in total he has serviced). Pablo and his Assistant are very knowledgeable when it comes to air cooled vehicles and his attention to detail is second to none. I have shopped around and have gone to other mechanics a couple of times just to find myself returning to JMG. Pablo is fast, proficient and very professional when it comes down to his service which is why i return time and time again. The only draw back that I have with JMG however, is that sometimes the final bill isn t what was originally quoted...sometimes it s higher and sometimes it s lower.....but hey, you gotta pay to play. Over all I give JMG repair 4.5 out of 5 stars. Pablo knows his air cooled vehicles like the back of his hand and has a passion for classic VWs. Anyone with a classic VW would definitely be pleased with his service. Thanks JMG repair! -Curnell White

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE!!! OVER PRICE FOR LABOR PARTS EVERYTHING POSSIBLE DOES NOT GIVE ACURATE DIAGNOSTICS. NO MATTER WHAT IF YOU WANT TO FLUSH YOUR MONEY DOWN A TOILET. I PROBABLY WOULD RECOMMEND THAT INSTEAD.

Took my Atlas in to get the front brakes done. After 2 hours I call back only to be told there is nothing wrong with my brakes. Told them it squeaks and they took it for a drive and said they heard nothing. They even charged $140 to supposedly check the breaks.Two days later at a brake center near Lawndale and they took off the front tire measured the pad and said i also need rotors. Don't every use this location. Fraudulent activity when you charge for a service you didn't do.

Absolutely terrible service. They charged me 120 to fix my speedometer and they called me back and said they couldn t fix. When they called back (after keeping my car for 2 days) they couldn t fix the problem. I paid when I dropped it off. They wouldn t refund me. I asked why am I paying for something that wasn t done? They replied with this was the cost to diagnose. So since when does it cost 120 to diagnose? And since when do you pay for diagnose before it s done?? No worries I ll take my business elsewhere. I have a car flipping business and I was hoping this couple be my go to shop for my German cars since the place is so close to my house. Congratulations fellas, threw away so much more money and customers (because my clients always go to whatever mechanics I recommend) for 120$. Bad business

This place was trash. Went in for a repair on my Jetta because I had an EPC fault. The owner said it was all good that he ran a test. Literally 2 mins after I drove of his lot I got the EPC fault again. I call him back he says to bring it in again the next business day. I brought it in and he said the problem was fixed forsure this time. 1 week later problem comes back. This dude charged me about $800 just for labor and the problem wasn t even fixed. They charge as if they deliver quality but they deliver trash . If you want to waste your money come here.

Most dishonest mechanic in the South Bay. Positive reviews with no text are probably his family members. Yes, he is that desperate and dishonest.

Do not go to this mechanic unless you want to be ripped off. My intuition told me that my wheel bearings were bad & I took it to Jmg auto repair. He lifted my car, had his henchman step on the gas & told me that my transmission needed to be replaced for 2,500 dollars. I called bs immediately because not only was I not experiencing transmission problems but he listened to the wheels. I took my car to a different mechanic & was told that my wheel bearings needed to be replaced. I paid 600 dollars for the wheel bearings & other minor issues & my car runs great. JMG was willing to charge 2500 dollars to replace my wheel bearings because he absolutely knew that there was nothing wrong with my transmission. Buyer beware!

I looked up specialist in the area. I took my car in. Pablo charged me $440 just to replace my battery. I took it in because my EPC light and check engine light was on. I had a brand new battery in the car, So I know that wasn't the issue. He claim to have reset my system. right after I picked up the car I had the same issue I was complaining about. Took it in. after $840, he told e my issue was taken care of. Not even 1 hour later I start having the same issue. I took it back to him and he told me the estimate was $309, when I got my car back he added another 80 on top of that plus $15 dollars in taxes which he never charged me before. I'm still having the same issue and I took it in to him. Now he's telling me I have to come up with $1,000 to replace the part that I've been complaining about from the beginning. I will never take my car to this guy and wouldn't recommend anyone go to this guy. He is a rip off and he's in the business to scam and profit peoples money. He doesn't know what he's doing, I feel like I been ripped off...

Originally my spouse was told an air conditioner recharge would cost $89. After making an appointment and describing the problem, I was given an estimate of $180 to repair my air conditioner. An hour after I took in my car I was called and told I needed to pay $1,150 for a compressor and an air cabin filter. When I said I didn't want the compressor, the mechanic told me he would charge me $180 to replace the filter. My spouse called back and declined the air filter and I ended up paying $89 for just diagnosing the problem with the air conditioner.

Horrible place. My father went in to see if they can fix is truck and left a deposit of $120, we later received a call saying to fix the car it would be roughly $750. We declined the service and another mechanic fixed the issue for only $150.Expensive and will never go back.

Pretty consistent with all other 1 star reviews, almost exactly. Watch what you are signing at this place. Pricing was not discussed beforehand, was told "to just sign here" and failed to see the small written in pencil price for an unnecessary diagnostic..my fault totally for not being more thorough. It's just a bad way to do business.

Highly recommend this shop, I went in for a timing belt change on my Passat and was done next day. Everyone I met was also friendly and nice to talk to. Shop is also clean and well maintained.
