John Blaine provided me with a thorough inspection of a 2008 Porsche 911 that was for sale at a local dealership. -- Their inspection price was a 1/3 of every other import mechanic in the Plainfield area and he covered every aspect of the car from mechanics to exterior appearance. -- Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Blaine's Automotive!

I was pleased with Blaine s services from the beginning, it was a pleasure. John was so nice and informative. I needed my oil pan replaced because it had a leak/hole. I dropped off my car in the morning and picked it up before the end of day. My car feels and runs great and it was affordable too. Thank you so much for being so honest and helpful. If you re looking for trustworthy mechanics and amazing service then I recommend you bring your car here. My driveway thanks you as well lol. Thank you Blaine s!

Glad I took a chance with Blaine's. Took my daughter's VW EOS in because her top and windows wouldn't operate. Also had a Service Engine Soon light on with some whining noise from transmission. He cleared the codes and got the windows working and transmission whining is gone because of his bigger scanner which my OB2 scanner couldn't do. He also found that the convertible motor/pump was bad because water got to it. He notified me that it's backordered and hard to find. So he gave me the part number and said if I can find it less expensive or sooner he'll gladly replace it. So until then I can pick up the car. I asked him how much I owed him, he said it was only a diagnosis so nothing. Well I said you got a few issues taken care of. He said no worries just think of Blaine's when I need servicing on my vehicles. I definitely found my new mechanic, Thanks Again Blaine's!!!

I've been going to Blaine's for the last few years and have always had a great experience. Today was above and beyond. I had an issue where I didn't feel comfortable driving my car. I called Blaine's and described the issue. He knew exactly what the issue was and told me to cancel the tow truck and he'd come to me. He got there and the issue was fixed within minutes. And then to top it all off he didn't even charge me. Blaine's has saved me hundreds to thousands of dollars in the past and saved me a ton more today. I'll be a customer forever.Service: Brakes

Always a trusted honest shop that goes beyond expectations for complicated and intensive repairs. I ve had everything from brake line repairs to engine replacement done here - Range Rover and BMW. Most recently an intermittent clicking sound and they fixed that too. Thank you!

Outstanding customer service and excellent at communicating not only the problem with our vehicle but also the cost to repair. John is knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful. We greatly appreciated his help getting us back on the road so quickly.

Just in time - I had called John to fix a few issues (ignition housing, window regulator) on a car that would be presented to my daughter for her 16th birthday. John was able to move up the date to fix it and returned it to me as promised before the reveal. Thanks John, not only for addressing the issues, but coming in on budget as stated. Will be bringing it in for other items for service as they pop up. Thanks again.

Not to mention he saved me a temendous amount of money .Once again helped me with a battery replacement /diagnostic. Check and was very professional/kind and easy to talk to. His shop is a diamond in the rough!Service: Brakes

Absolutely amazing, this is where you want to take your car for anything and everything. As a Mercedes owner, it was immediately obvious to me that these guys know what they're talking about. Beyond that, they go out of their way to be helpful and timely.

I went to John and was surprised to finally find that repair place that cares! You can tell when someone is not honest and John was very straightforward! He took me step by step through the car to demonstrate the issues. Then a problem I had from another mechanic (that took 6 hours) he fixed in no time with the proper Toyota parts not cheap Autozone parts! In addition, he didn't overcharge and I didn't have to go back twice for the repair like all other shops!! He did it right the FIRST time and that is unheard of these days. We ended up taking our second car there and same story....a job well done! John is definitely our new guy! Thank you!Services: Brakes, Air conditioning

If you have a European car... GO HERE. I can't seriously thank them enough for figuring out a headache problem I've been having for months.Appointments only, honestly worth the wait. Super friendly, upfront and honest, great owner, caring of you and your vehicles.

I wasn't able to get my car in due to them booked for more then a week. But when I called Blaine took the time to understand the issue and point out what are somethings I can check for. He also suggested a few other services that can help me quickly. In the end the issue with my car was exactly what he pointed out and I was able to get it resolved someplace else. I wanted to give 5 stars because he took the time to talk to me and understand the problem even though they were booked and busy. I will definitely keep him in mind next time I need something done on my car.

I found myself in need of an oil leak fix. My husband has been using Blaine s for some time and John did not disappoint. He was able to take care of my car quickly and with care. Very professional and efficient. Previously I have always brought my car to the dealer but I always feel they are way overcharging me and not sure they are working in my best interest. I feel very comfortable here. Would definitely recommend!

First time customer. I recently had the transmission cooler lines for my 2016 Chevrolet Malibu replaced. John quoted me hundreds of dollars less for the service than both the dealership and another independent auto shop. I brought my car in for a late morning appointment and the service was completed before end of the business. John followed up with me a couple of days after the service as well. I'll definitely use Blaine's Automotive in the future.

I have been driving used Mercedes Benz vehicles for a long time. I used to have an independent auto repair shop that did good work but they closed down a number of years ago. For the last number of years I have been taking my cars to the dealer for service but over time I came to realize I would take the car in to have one or two things repaired and the dealer would always come back at me with five or six things that needed repair. It was obvious the dealer s service department was the profit center for the dealership.I finally researched more independent auto repair shops and found Blaine s Automotive. After diagnosing the problems with my E350 John let me know what things needed to be dealt with now and what repairs would probably be coming 15,000 miles down the road. He also gave me repair estimates so I can budget for those future maintenance items. His prices are very competitive compared to what I have been paying at the dealer.Blaine s Automotive is now my repair shop for all the vehicles my family drives. It is amazing how good work and honesty can grow a business!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

Blains automotive is very skilled and knowledgeable and has reasonable prices. They will also work with you and won't overcharge you for labor if they can get it done less time than the manual says it should take.

As we all know, finding a reliable, professional and trustworthy mechanic is extremely difficult. My family and I are very happy to have found the folks at Blaine's. Making an appointment is always easy, and their time estimates for completion of work is always accurate. Their price, although not cheap is fair. It feels good to know that whatever happens to the car, we have a reliable place to take it to. I can not recommend Blaine's any higher than I do.Services: Brakes, Oil change

Being somewhat new to this area, I was looking for a place nearby to take my car in when it suddenly started leaking anti-freeze. I called one morning and they were able to get my car in later that day. They had my car repaired and back to me by the next afternoon. I was very impressed with how they take care of their customers. John, the owner, was very helpful and thorough in explaining what was wrong with my car and what needed to be fixed. He is honest, has reasonable prices, and I m impressed that he followed up with me on the repairs. I will definitely be going back to Blaine s Automotive for any repairs in the future. I highly recommend them!Service: General repairs & maintenance

My passenger window was stuck down and would not roll up I was dreading another daunting car repair at the dealership when I came across Blaine s Automotive online and read all of the great reviews. I spoke directly with John, who got me in for an emergency appointment the next morning and within 24 hours (since they had to order parts) I had my car back and fixed. I would have had to wait at least a week to even be seen at my dealer! Will definitely come back in the future! Thanks again!

Repairs were completed on time and cost was exactly as John quoted. He even followed up with me a few days later to make sure the car was running well. I will definitely use them in the future.

First time customer, could not be happier! John was upfront and honest with both cost and time. I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about my whole experience. John personally followed up with me to make sure everything was correct and running well, which of course it was.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

Brought our van in for a second opinion based on a transmission assessment from another shop. John, the owner at Blaine s, assessed our vehicle and determined it was not a transmission issue. He explained, in detail his assessment and plan of approach which put me at ease based on his knowledge.I added some additional maintenance items that I d been putting off and they were very competitive in price. Very flexible in their schedule as well. We ll definitely be back.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change
