Finding a mechanic you can trust is difficult. Jerry's
came recommended and I was pleased with the work. I would
use them again. The work was complicated but done well, at
a fair price and in a timely manner.

My A/c died on my 1994 Buick Regal. My regular mechanic
told me that the compressor was leaking and gave me a
guestimate of $1200. I thought about trading the car in,
but a friend suggested I call Jerry's. They gave me a
rough quote over the phone.....half what my regular
mechanic had guestimated. Jerry's took the car in
immediately, they sent me home via courtesy car, they
telephoned me twice with minor suggestions, and then sent a
car for me to take me back to their shop. The car was
finished that same afternoon. One month later, the A/c
died again. I called and they asked me to bring it in. A
seal needed to be replaced and this was done free of charge
while I waited. It's been perfect ever since. I highly
recommend this garage.

A customer representative for a company we were doing
business with had problems with her A/C and was stranded
in town until she could get it fixed.
She took it to the dealer (I don't remember which
model/brand) and they gave her a pretty hefty estimate and
she was lamenting how much it was - I told her to take it
to Jerry and see what he would do it for - he beat the
estimate by almost $500 and had her on the road by noon
the next day.

Jerry takes good care of his customers. He's quick, knowledgable and a
decent guy.

From our vintage '65 Mustang to our late model SUVs over a
span of eight years we have found Jerry's to be all that we
could expect and more.

My AC stopped working and in FL no AC is unbearable. I
looked in the yellow pages and sent an e-mail to a high
school class mate who was a Mercedes mechanic. When I did
not hear back from him, I recalled that I had read about a
mechanic-finder and evaluator utility on the Car Talk site.
I had gone to the site several days before and found the
reviews very plausible and informative.
I reviewed comments made by customers for several garages
that I knew of and others I did not. Jerry's stood out.
Based on the credentials in the yellow pages, the business
being locally owned for a significant time period, and the
comments left by customers on cartalk.com, I decided to call
Jerry's.
I called and made an appointment for the following morning,
a Friday. I was apprehensive as Honda had told me awhile
back that my AC might need replacing and that the charges
would be through the roof. I was prepared for the worst.
Jerry's evaluated my car while I waited and concluded that
the problem was due to a pulley like device that is attached
to the crankshaft. It was wearing and further damage could
have occurred. Honda has never caught this problem. That
explained a rattling noise that I had heard.
To make a long story short, the real problem was this pulley
like mechanism and not the air conditioning. After replacing
the mechanism and belts that had worn because of its
malfunction, I was back in business. They found the AC
working fine and did not even need to add freon.
Since my wife was out of town, they gave me a ride home
across the city so I could work at home while they made the
repairs. By mid-afternoon, they had fixed the car and the
boss man came and picked me up. The AC worked fine on our
way back to his shop where I paid the bill and dropped off
the boss. In fact, on the trip back I was freezing and it
was 95 degrees outside. I almost asked him to turn the AC
off it was so cold.
Provided that the AC keeps working, I must say that my
experience with Jerry's AC repair was as good as it gets.
Good ethics, pride in their work, eager to please the
customer, happy to save customer money if they can, and
apparent high competence.
I observed their treatment of an female customer who was
waiting for her car and felt that she was handled just as
fairly as I was with explanations for all charges and diagnoses.
Dealers have their place in the long-term maintenance of
your car. But for problems like air conditioning and brakes,
transmissions I prefer a smaller establishment that is
creative in identifying and remedying auto problems as
opposed to the equivalent of heart transplants that seem the
modus operandi of the dealers.
I am happy I did business with Jerry's and suspect that the
dealer would have charged me a thousand more dollars than
the 365 bucks I spent with Jerry's.
