PJ's performed a brake and light inspection and made repairs to my vehicle so it could pass for a certificate. Josh is great to work with - honest, quick turnaround and flexible with my needs. The other mechanics are very friendly too. You can tell they're a great team. I will definitely return for future service. Thank you, Josh!

My car didn't want to start a couple days ago so I took it to Pj's. Turned out I needed a new battery! The owner was very quick on fixing it and even told me what else was wrong with my car and how severe/urgent each problem was. My car is pretty old and if it's not one thing, it's the other so I'm very glad Pj's is around to help! If you can, utilize their free brake inspection!! Brakes are extremely vital and I plan to get them fixed next! Thank you Pj's for keeping me and my family safe!! Also the emphasis on how important integrity is at the shop does not

After many years of PJ's taking care of our car, we gave it to someone who needed a car. She was experiencing a check engine light and we suggested PJs since they knew the vehicle. They helped her out and discovered it was in need of a new gas cap. Gave this info to her and didn't charge her. Thank you for taking care of her. She will be a long time customer just as we were. Great service!

I am 71 yrs old, and moved to Yuba City after we lost our home to the Paradise fires. I will say right out that PJ's is the best auto shop I have ever used, and will continue to do so as long as I have a car to drive. Nick is a real gentleman, and very skilled at his craft. The prices are fair, and the service is top drawer. I count myself lucky to have found them, and I heartily recommend their business, even during the current pandemic. They go the extra mile!

Great place! My air conditioning in my car went out and it was 107 degrees! I was desperate for it to be fixed- I called PJs and was able to get an appointment for 2 hours later. They quoted me one price to recharge the A/C but actually completely looked over the air conditioning system and found a faulty relay that was also causing a problem. They were extremely thorough and I ended up paying only the original quote and my car was waiting for me in less than an hour.

Not every automotive repair visit is perfect & this isn't a "fufu"/pretty shop, but my experience with PJ's has been good! Had SMOG checks done throughout the years, and most recently they helped to troubleshoot a SES light problem. Truck failed the first test (but that wasn't their fault), and the only reason the rates have gone up is the fees and cost of everything else is going up! Highly recommend.

PRICE GOUGING
Went in after DMV visit for car registration. Car required a Break & Lamp inspection. Being the only place on google for this state certified required inspection in Yuba City I went. Friendly gal signed me up with an appointment easy enough and went through the trouble of explaining what the inspection included just in case I wanted to take a look at things myself for more potential of passing. That's was nice of here so at this point I was feeling fairly good about the integrity of PJ's. So long story short the 2016 car didn't pass, and for good reason. One of

PJ's investigated an issue with my engine. Discovered a bad motor mount and suspected that it could have caused a problem with the lower motor mount. I approved the repair of the motor mount as well as a couple of other minor repairs. I, having limited autocare knowledge approved a repair and expected a call that would double the total cost. They could have easily made that call and I would have approved it. They called early, said the lower mount was sound and ended up charging me about $100 less than they originally quoted.
I had a great experience at PJ's. Thanks Nick.

Great, honest shop. Have a 2005 Mustang in for check engine light. They showed me the problem with my car, gave me various options, kept the price low, and did good quality work. I like the fact they always communicate with you and listen to you as they work on your car. There is a reason you see so many cars out front, everyone takes their cars in to get fixed at PJs

This place is a scam and rip off people just because they are across the street from the DMV. Tammy the receptionist told me because I own 1995 jeep that California was trying to take older cars off the street and that she had to spend $20,000 to buy the new smog equipment. So my smog is now $85!!! So Tammy is ripping people off because they have an older car.
I don't care how much your equipment is, you own a business and should have thought of that there will be expenses. So you single out people with older cars?!?
Have you ever thought poor people can't afford a new car? And have

Happy Customer..... great service, fair price, and good quality work. This is so important when taking your car to be repaired. Their service is timely. They just finished fixing the challenges associated with my daughter's vehicle as she hit a deer. What a mess but they were able to put the wheel well back on and fix the underside of the car. We appreciated the fact that they got rid of the awful smell that was burning off the engine.

Made an appointment to have my SMOG done , they were ready for me and got me in right away I even waited for my car. The waiting room is dirty but it was worth my time .
SMOG is automatically loaded onto DMV but takes a couple hours to process. I was able to go to breakfast and register my car with their new kiosk in less than 15 minutes.

Had to get a smog done work was done quickly and I've not had any issues with the car however considering the place was recomended by another highly recommended business I was disappointed with the service provided by the receptionist she seemed irritated by my presence and in a bad mood. I will not return for further services

Arrived a few minutes early for the appointment, they prefer you make appt, smog check began almost immediately and was completed with in minutes; in fact I barely had finished paper work and sat down when I was told it was complete. Very friendly and professional. only negative a little pricey, $58

I had a little car trouble with my 12 year old car. My dad insisted that I take it to the dealership to get repaired. I'm not a big fan of dealerships because they can (and most often will) charge you more for the same services elsewhere. My coworker recommended PJ's. I took my car over there and was called later in the day with an estimate of the repair costs. I thought that the price was reasonable and authorized the repair work. About five minutes later the shop called back and said that I was actually misquoted and the price is actually about HALF of what I was quoted before!

I took my car to be smogged at PJ's Auto after the place had been recommended to me. The work was done quickly which was nice and the receptionist was very polite. However, the day after our vehicle was smogged our fuel gauges (both analog and digital) were not working. Our check engine light also came on. I took it to the NIssan dealership in Roseville and they said that our fuel sensors had quit working. The cost to fix them is $700. The smog technicians did their work incorrectly and broke the sensors.
