Emmerich the owner is by far my favorite mechanic I've ever had. He's a top notch Lexus and Toyota maintenance and repair guy. He's been servicing our family vehicles for 10+ years. He also works with other cars like Infiniti and Mercedes and domestics. Can't top his service. 5 star always. Fair pricing and straightforward repair process. We used to go to A+ Japanese, but those guys are crooks. He's got a body shop as well so if your car has an issue or a dent. Call this place up and they'll treat you right. 10/10

Emmerick has changed out my brakes and did an outstanding job. He is professional, communicative, and speedy with repairs. Emmerick goes the extra mile and cleaned my car inside and outside as well as repaired my brakes even though the pads were only slightly damaged and only needed to be cleaned. I will use JK Automotive for all of our cars and highly recommend him!!

Emerick Bautista's JK Automotive and San Carlos Collision Center Auto Body and Paint is where to take your Lexus for service and body work. Putnam Lexus charges way too much. He worked at Putnam for years and treated us wonderfully there. He provides exceptional service: not only will he complete the work efficiently but he will also honestly assess what we need to keep tabs on.

Emerick (shop owner) has been a family friend for many years. I finally got an opportunity to take my car to his shop now that I live in the area. I had a laundry list of things to get done on my car since it hit 100k and he made sure it all got done. Kept me updated on the status of the vehicle as they diagnosed it and replaced all the parts we discussed. Emerick is a humble person and the work his shop provides is top quality. JK Automotive is definitely a shop you want to go to for automotive service!!

Putnam wanted big bucks to repair our 2007 Lexus ES350 but then we remembered Emerick from his Putnam days and how wonderfully he had treated us there and at JK Automotive. Emerick saved us a lot of money on this latest repair and did his usual great job. When we got sick on the morning we were to bring the car to him, he volunteered to pick up the car at our house and he even returned the car after he completed the repair - incredible service! From now on, we will go straight to Emerick, no more Putnam!

Emmerick was recommended by a close friend. He provides service to our family's cars - including Toyota, Lexus and Infiniti. He keeps us informed on the cars progress & I totally trust his recommendations and we will continue to use his garage for our car needs.Prices are competitive as well !

I was recommended to see Emerick before my cross country trip to Miami and with his final blessing, I was made it all the way to Miami without any car problems. He is super friendly and is super fair with his prices. He looked over my Porsche and recommended a minor fix once I get to Miami. He even took extra time out to help me out and would not accept my tip I wanted to give him. Such a good guy, and I would definitely trust him with my cars in the future.

Appreciate JK Auto! Who was a referral for us when we moved down here. We get our scheduled maintenance, had a broken radiator fixed and feel safe having our family Nissan Rogue taken care of by someone we trust most of all. Highly recommend!! Thank you JK!

I brought my Audi A7 into JK--I had trouble with an indicator light (twice reset by the Audi dealership), was in need of general maintenance, and a new set of tires. Emerick provided a reasonable quote, and I was able to do a safe after-hours drop off, which I found incredibly convenient. My car was serviced ahead of schedule, all work was explained in detail, and I was pleasantly surprised to find my car freshly washed!My car is now running super smooth, and hooray--no more buggy and infuriating indicator light. Highly recommended!

I brought my Mini CooperS 2008 here due to engine not starting up normally and check engine light came on. I was recommended by a coworker thinking that lets give this place a try and he stated that they are familiar with Minis. To be honest and fair, Emerick is very friendly, responsive and supposedly a comp'd my oil and labor for an oil change. Also, he may be better at other cars like Lexus, etc, but I'm not 100% confident that this place is familiar with Mini Coopers. This place charges about $150 per hour for labor and about $165 for diagnostic. Emerick plugged his diagnostic computer to review the codes that the car had misfire codes and the misfires came from all of the cylinders. As a result he recommended to repair the valve cover as it is plastic and mine is currently cracked and this is about $345 for just the valve cover. Unfortunately, if I was a car expert, I wouldn't of brought my car in so nonetheless, I went with his recommendation and authorize the repair. Total was about $1044, so I gauged that labor was about 3-4 hours plus minor other parts like spark plugs, etc. Oil changes can take only about 30 minutes max with the right tools and even faster with a lift, so I appreciated the oil change on the house but am not sure how much was complimentary. With that said, I drove it off the shop for a week or so and monitored it, but the initial issue i brought the car in didn't appear to be resolved. I brought it back in and went through diagnosing the codes with the computer. As a result, Emerick was 'pretty confident that it's carbon buildup' and he will need to purchase a walnut blasting machine to clear the buildup. He quoted me $1900 for two days of labor. With my gut instinct, I did not believe this was the problem but knowing there may be other factors to the quote he provided me, I checked with my previous repair guy. I brought it back to my previous repair guy and I was completely blown away with the quote he provided me, $1851 for parts and labor. He was able to repair all the issues (7 other diagnosis that was never brought to my attention from JK Automotive diagnostics). I'm completely at awe that all the issues can be all done within a day but yet, this walnut blasting would take 2 days to clean the carbon buildup. I also learned that carbons buildup is a performance issue and not an issue that would cause a car to not run. I do understand that different parts may trigger longer times than others, but I also feel that the quote received for the blasting is a bit excessive. I can only blame myself but I'm definitely disappointed in the service I received. As I'm all in to do honest business and perhaps this place is not experienced with Mini Coopers, I wished he would of communicated that to me of all the issues instead of telling me he's 'pretty' sure or simply admit that he is not sure what the problem is. Or spend a little more time to figure out the problems to familiarize themselves to Minis. Nonetheless, I believe the valve cover replacement is necessary to be replaced but it wasn't a priority nor the issue that caused the check engine light to turn on initially. Also, I do not believe there would be any kind of credit or refund to my initial service and repair (which I did not attempt to request for since taking it back twice did not result me with a fixed car to my satisfactory), so writing this review is most fair.

One of my best experiences at a car repair shop. I called to make an appointment about an engine issue and was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism in setting up the service appointment. Upon arriving I did not have to wait and again was treated very well. After a diagnosis the details were clearly explained. All work was done to my satisfaction and I would recommend JK Automotive to anyone needing service.

I was recommended to Emerick from a friend a few years back and it has been the best experience since then. He is the most honest and reliable guy in the business that I have come across. He always responds to questions or concerns with the most knowledge and honesty. Totally recommend him!!
