James and his team delivered top notch service for my 2010 Camaro. The technician even invited me back to ride with him on a test drive so I could see first hand and explain issues with car that need to be fixed. The best part was that they gave me a loaner vehicle for the time my car was in the shop, no repair shop I know does that! I would recommend them for any auto repairs and they are reasonably priced!

James auto did a fantastic job on repairing my 2006 mini cooper. It needed a lot of suspension work due to a auto accident. They are top of the line mechanics that know what they are doing and very quick on the repairs. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend that you try them out,. Your car is in great hands at James Auto Center!đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

James usually knows what’s wrong before he even sees my car, this time was no exception. I brought my 2006 car in because the break lights were on all the time.he told me there is a button that usually only lasts 12 years. On opening my drivers door, he picked up two small pieces from my floor board and said “this is part of it, and here’s another part”. I was in the Lords graces that day, as James told me they had accidentally ordered that part already.
He replaced the part in abut 30-min, and had me on my way, after a very reasonable bill.

We were on vacation from St. Louis, MO to PCB. My car was serviced a day before we departed. The car was pulling and very hard to control while driving, especially on the highway. This made for a long and stressful trip.
I didn’t feel safe returning to St. Louis without having my car looked at. I called James at 1pm on the Friday before we were leaving, 08/14/20. James took my car for a drive with me in it. He identified the issues.
James and his office staff and mechanics stayed late. He was able to have the part delivered, installed and realigned my car. We left at 8am the next morning and

My family and our vehicles have been coming to James Auto for over a decade. They are AWESOME and really know what they are doing. The price reflects the service and quality of work. If I ever have questions they answer them openly and straightforward. They are really great at what they do and obviously take pride in their work. I always appreciate that they check everything and let me know what needs immediate attention or what can wait and a suggested timeline for things. The honesty, quality of care, and attention to detail is what keeps us coming back.

I recently went to James Auto for the first time, I have to say that they run a first rate operation. Very professional, courteous and friendly. They offered me a ride home after dropping of my vehicle and picked me up after the repairs were done correctly. I would definitely go to James Auto Center again.
