Our story
At J & T Automotive, we do one thing: fix cars honestly. No upsells, no scare tactics, no nickel-and-diming: just a clear explanation of what's wrong with your vehicle and what it will take to make it right. Customers know us for straight talk at the front desk and quality work in the bays. Lorenzo, William, and the rest of the team have earned a perfect 5-star rating on Google by getting people in quickly, often the same week, even on last-minute calls, and getting them back on the road without surprises on the invoice. Whether it's a check engine light that just came on or a repair another shop quoted sky-high, bring it to our shop on Empire Avenue. We'll give you an honest answer and a fair price, every time.
What customers say
“Highly recommend this shop, very honest and not looking to nickel and dime you. Had an engine light come on while visiting Modesto, called J&T and they were able to get me in the next day. The guy at the front desk read the codes for me, explained what was likely wrong, and gave me peace of mind that I could drive home without damaging the car.”
“A great bunch of friendly professional folks. Took care of my problem with no issues at all — they're not worried about scalping you, just about fixing your car for the right price.”
“Lorenzo and his team set the standard to how all mechanic shops should operate! They got me in and out within an hour and I had called last minute. They don't BS like most shops and have great prices.”
