They did a great job on our Isuzu's rear differential and @ a fair price . I trust them to do a good job, and will use them again inthe future.

There is a reason why I have taken my vehicles to this business for years. Mike ( the owner ) is an honest man, who doesn't try to upsell me on things that aren't necessarily needed, but rather give me options. I trust his opinion and value his excellent work. I highly recommend J&C for all your transmission needs. You have captured a life long customer.Thank you, Mike and all of your staff. Great service!

Great shop, great people. My car needed transmission work and when they discovered that it was more expensive than the car was worth (due to excess wear) they let me know rather than perform the work. Super nice to work with such honest people. Highly recommended.

I have been going to J & C for around 30 years. They do good work and they know what they are doing. Mike has been helpful to me by correcting issues with my cars that I was not aware of. My oldest car is a 1922 model, and my newest is a 1978, so I am grateful to J & C for helping me keep them all running.

I recently bought an ERA replica 427 SC Cobra that had been sitting in a collector's warehouse for 20 years without being driven. Not surprisingly, lack of exercise resulted in several transmission seals becoming brittle and leaking. On the recommendation of Will at Best Buy Tires in Cameron Park (another outstanding shop!) I made an appointment for transmission service at J&C Automotive in the town of El Dorado. I brought the car in on Monday morning and picked it up today (Thursday) and I could not be happier. Peggy in the front office, Tim and owner/mechanic Mike all treated me like family from the beginning, kept me informed of the progress of the job, and finished it on time, including a few extra custom jobs they found time to perform for me during their busy days. Many auto repair shops are hesitant to work on such unorthodox vehicles, or refuse to work on them altogether. Mike and Tim dug right in, did an outstanding job. If you need routine maintenance on the family sedan or custom work done on an exotic or hot rod, this is your shop. I will be bringing all our cars and trucks to J&C Automotive for all my vehicle servicing needs from now on. They're simply outstanding!

Took my GMC Yukon XL Denali in a little over a year ago primarily for differential issues. My rear differential was leaking and a previous "repair" at another shop resulted in a continued leak. J & C Automotive took care of the leak. They also found looseness in the steering gear linkage which caused looseness in the steering wheel. Thanks for that. My front differential had whine/whirring noise. I would also experience a light clunk when coming to a stop and sometimes lifting off the throttle and depressing it again. I was concerned about the u joints or possibly the transmission being the issue but neither where found to have a problem. Was told transfer case had a noise but could be addressed it at a later date. Front differential pinion and carrier bearings where changed along with inner axle seals and bearings. The ring and pinion gears where not changed since I was advised that they look fine. Picked up the car and still had a whirring/whine noise that they were aware of and let me know when I picked it up. Fine. I can live with the noise as long as the differential is "repaired". Unfortunately nothing from the repair took care of the light clunk. I could't afford to keep chasing that issue since I just paid $1400 for repairs. Not long after the clunk started to get more pronounced but I could live with it as long as I feathered the throttle and took it easy. I was just started to get ready for the camping season and wanted the ability to pull a travel trailer but was concerned about the clunk being an issue. I did not want to break down while pulling a trailer because of it. I had to decided whether to have this issue fixed finally or purchase a new vehicle.Decided to have it looked at by another automotive shop. They advised me that the differential was causing the clunk. That's odd. I just had it fixed a little over a year ago. I then took it to a highly reputable shop that only does differentials. They took it apart and the pinion bearing was loose and carrier bearing was way out of alignment causing the clunk. They did advise me that the ring and pinion looked fine but I should change them as the noise wasn't fixed by J & C the first time they changed the bearings. This would mean the noise was certainly coming from the ring and pinion gears.I appreciate the repairs J & C Automotive performed that fixed my other issues but after that much money spent and now having another shop do a full rebuild for another $1300 one year later that should have been addressed by J & C the first time I'll have to pass on the other repairs recommended by them.

This place is great because they are straight forward, friendly, and actually do good work in a reasonable amount of time. That can be hard to come by, and with an expense like a transmission, it can be daunting. Everything has been working flawlessly after the first try installing it. Previously I had some HACKS telling me that my car was impossible to do a good transmission replace on bc it was the manufacturers bad design.. I toiled for two years with crap work done through a "friends" shop down in sac. Two years of driving there and not having a car for a week... multiple times. Often, I would get my car back, make it 30 miles up 50 and then have to drive it back down bc it was spraying fluid everywhere. The point here is I wanted to save a few bucks and feel confident by going through someone I knew, but in the end, it is best to go through someone QUALIFIED. Transmission work should not be skimped on bc it only costs more time and money in the end if the people doing it are too stupid to replace the broken mounts on it also. I'm not sure how these guys compare to others in price, but I dont care, this is the only place I will have transmission work done up here. I never have to worry about if investing in that kind of work will be worth it now. Plus it has a 3 year warranty. You can do a 3 year warranty instead of 1 year when you do good work instead of trying to crank them out and brush people off. Thanks for doing good work and making my life more efficient again!
