Will use them again
I really needed to get tires and my oil changed on my car for a trip. They helped me with everything I needed in time for my trip. They also explained everything and were very professional. I would recommend them to everyone.

Nice, informative, honest people at TJ's
This is one of the few places I've had a vehicle serviced that did what they promised to do and didn't overcharge me! I'm on a limited income and can't afford to get all that I want fixed until I can ask my car repair insurance if they cover them and TJ's didn't try to push me into hurrying it, saving me money and stress!! I recommend this place to everyone in need of repairs to a vehicle!!! They ask you what you want and explain what is needed and it's cost up-front is.

An honest mechanic!
I was disappointed that TJ's Auto Center was unable to diagnose the problem I was having with my car. But I was surprised and extremely grateful that they charged me nothing for hooking it up to the scanner and performing all manner of testing and diagnostic functions. They could've easily charged me for that. Thank you for your honesty!
