Last week, I had to drive my 97 Toyota 4 Runner with over 300,000 miles down to a meeting in Los Angeles from Atascadero. Unfortunately, my "Check Engine" light went on 4 days before my trip and I was hesitant to take my 4Runner or rent a car for 4 days so I took my car to A-Town Automotive because of a recommendation by a fellow Toyota owner I met in the Trader Joe's parking lot. I live on a limited income and feared that it was going to be a major repair. When I got there, the owner used a computer device that could diagnose the problem and discovered that it was not a major problem so I drove it down to LA and back without any problems. I had an appointment the morning after I returned and he had it fixed 90 minutes after my appointment. To my surprise, he charged me his regular hourly labor fee and the cost of the part that was $2.50. He even repaired the clock on my dashboard that hasn't worked since I bought it. Not only is he a knowledgeable mechanic but is honest and that is a rare quality with auto mechanics in Atascadero.

There aren't enough stars in the night sky to justify Jame's excellent service and down right old school integrity. I can see why someone would travel from as far away as SFO to have him service their car. As much as I can, I try to DIY but James has gotten me out of a jam more than once and saved the day.James gets the job done right the 1st time and for a fair price. There is none better....anywhere.

Moved to A-town 10 yrs ago and we were hoping to find an honest, fair mechanic we could rely on. I'm not sure how we found James, but so glad we did! He has been honest, fair and reliable and has got us out of a few binds with all our vehicles. We'll be moving to another area soon and we'll surely miss James at A-town automotive!!

We purchased a vehicle for our grandmother that ended up having some major engine troubles. I got a recommendation to check out A Town Automotive. Glad I did! They were able to get it fixed and have it back to me in a little over a week.
