DON'T USE THIS COMPANYUsing this company was a joke, I called and scheduled an appointment to have a vehicle looked at, and nobody showed up for the appointment, when I got ahold of them, he said he never got the address, but he also never bothered to call and ask for the address. He then told me he would come that same day but would be a couple of hours and said he would call before coming so that I could be ready. I never got a call and he never showed up. I text him, and he read the text, but never sent a response, and never returned any of my calls.

My wife and I were in our motor home traveling through Oregon on our way home when we had a mechanical failure that caused the bus to overheat. This happened on a Sunday so we knew we were going to have some issues with finding a shop that was open and really did not want to go through a tow hassle if we could help it.After a little searching for a mobile mechanic that worked on diesel engines we can across J & S Mobile Automotive Repair. We gave the number a call and John, the owner, answered immediately.Without any immediate expectation of paid work on his part John started helping with troubleshooting remotely over the phone. After a few checks he had me walk next door to the Shell fuel station that also had mechanic's bays and had me speak with the lead mechanic there who he called by name. After a brief conversation with him the mechanic at the station provided me with several partially used quart's of automatic transmission fluid so I could fill up the hydraulic tanks just in case they were low. The mechanic at the station didn't charge anything and enthusiastically asked me to say HI to John.After determining that the hydraulic fluid levels were not the issue and identifying that the fan was not working to pull airflow through the radiator we agreed to do short hops up to where John diagnose and work on the bus locally (for him) which was 21 miles back the way we had come from.We arrive after dark and a few hours to get 21 miles without damaging anything and John was texting with us on a regular basis and was there when we arrived and directed us where to park in the Moose Lodge parking lot where he is both a member and a neighbor.He got under almost immediately and determined that the likeliest issue was that the hydraulic fan motor had gone out after holding a stethoscope up to the motor and listening as I started up the motor once and having already ruled out the pump as the culprit since other hydraulic functions were normal.It took us three days to find a replacement part during which John was also considering possible alternative options in case the year and model of our bus was too old to find a suitable directly replacement part. I ended up finding a new part that would fit right into the spot and had it delivered the next day by 11:30 AM from Michigan.John has us back on the road in a few hours after that.In addition to his knowledge of the diesel engine and hydraulic system which we could easily gather from his quick directions over the phone after we initially connected with him and was reinforced after several conversations and hands on time, he and his wife also offered up a personal vehicle in case we needed to run into town for groceries or other incidentals while we waited.Every person we spoke with knew John immediately and had nothing but good things to say about him as a person as well as his skills as a mechanic and I will enthusiastically be one of those people raving about his friendliness and skills.You can't go wrong with John!

John took my vehicle and after 8 months of little progress on what should have been a simple suspension and tune up I got my vehicle back. I dont beleive john is using the address listed on jackson. Without notifying me john had taken my vehicle to his residence and that was where I finally picked it up. John claimed he had removed the suspension yet upon further inspection it was clear that the suspension had never been removed. If you use john for your mechanic work understand that he will give you excuse after excuse for why things are not done with no real change in behavior. To resolve the issues with the suspension it was agreed I would receive a deposit half of which I have not gotten and john will not respond. Stay away from this lousy excuse for a business man and take your vehicle else ware.Service: Steering & suspension repair

DO NOT USE HIM PLEASE! Terrible service!! I made an appointment a week in advance. The day before the appointment I reached out to John to see what time he would be over. He open my text and ignored me. On the day of the appointment he never showed up and continued to ghost me. Would give 0 stars if I could! Very unprofessionalService: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

I have nothing to say but John is a great mechanic and honest.... He knows what he's doing. . We broke our axel and he installed a new one to our fishing boat trailer.... Don't believe the negative reviews on the guy. He's also very nice and funny. I suggest you call him up if you're in a jam.

Had an appointment scheduled for Sunday the 13th at 12, and after 45 minutes of a no call, no show, I decided to contact them and ask where they were. I was told they were behind on other appointments and then was asked to move my appointment to another day. I said yes, and scheduled it for the next day at 2:45. Again, after 45 minutes of no show, no call, I contacted to see where they were. I was told they had just gotten the part and were in Grants Pass(40 minutes from where I am). Then after another hour of hearing nothing, I was done and said this was ridiculous business. I told them to either get here now and fix what you said you would fix, or I would be taking my business elsewhere. Again, I was asked to move my appointment. I said no and decided to move on. Do not seek help from this people. They obviously don t care if your car will get fixed or not, even after you set up an appointment and they agreed upon it. Don t waste your time.

John was kind, thorough, arrived when he said he would and evaluated our mechanical issue quickly. He assured us we would not have any more issues with our RV and he was correct. We would recommend this service to anyone.Service: Auto engine tuningService: Auto engine tuning

Friendly, fast, convenient, and reasonable prices. My car died at a stop light. Once I got it home, I was concerned to drive it until it was fixed. I found J&S on Google. He figured out the problem, and fixed it in a timely manner at my home so I didn't have to move it. I will be using these guys again for future repairs.

Guys are friendly and timely, Efficient, educated and experienced. Did the started on my car with parts provided no questions asked. Did a great job. As a former mechanic myself, I'd say they are worth your time, especially in time of unexpected problems.

We had brake trouble on a Saturday evening down in Bishop, CA. Made it to Medford, OR on Sunday and called J&S for their 24 hour service - great decision. He replaced our rotars and brake pads for a good price in only 20 minutes. Brakes work and sound great now. Will update when we reach Seattle, WA.Update: 2 months later, brakes are still doing great!

I found this shop on google a few months back after loosing $800 on my 7.3 powerstroke to another shop. J&S came out on the weekend and fixed my issue. He ran Out of time that day and came all the way back out to Ashland again to finish. The truck ran perfect after that. Since then he has done multiple repairs on all my powerstrokes and on my Chevy k5. Last weekend I took my K5 into another shop for them to look at it and they wanted to charge me $561 to replace what they thought was the problem. J&S came out today and fixed it for $145. Turned out the other shop was looking at the wrong problem or should say wasn t looking? If you want honest prices and honest solutions this is your best choice. Thanks for all your Help

John Bleer is a con and miss leading excuse making rip-off!!! He ripped us off for $2400.00 by not giving it to the machine shop to start working on our heads and block. Therefore work didn't get started but John continued to give us excuses and false timeline as to when the job would be completed. Don't have any thing to do with him. He not only cost us money but weeks of time and frustration.

AVOID JOHN AT ALL COST!! HE IS A THEIF AND A LIAR WHO MAKES ANY AND EVERY EXCUSE AFTER YOU GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY NOT TO GET THE JOB DONE. HE WILL LIE ON THE PRICE OF A NEW PART THEN GET A CHEAP REFURBISHED PART AND TRY TO INSTALL IT, BUT I CAUGHT HIM... AND HIS EXCUSES WERE OVERWHELMING FOLLOWED UP BY THREATS WHEN I WANTED MY MONEY BACK. IF YOUR GOING TO RUN A BUISNESS DON'T DO DRUGS JOHN. Not to mention he's a convicted thief you can look his name up and multiple theft charges says it all!!! And any good review on here are fake and done by his friends and family hence the last names beeler, hilbmann, hilbma. Come on John don't be a scammer and give me my money back.

The folks at s&j Mobile mechanics went above and beyond to get me back on the road I had no other options and this was out of their normal area that they work in but they still made the time and effort and the possibility to get my car fixed I am overjoyed by what they have done and I will recommend them to anyone
