The staff at Juniors are fast, skilled, reliable, and honest. Straightforward, good communication - I trust them more than the dealership or other places I could go for auto repairs. I have been taking my car here for years and will continue to do so.

Hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever been to. I brought in an old Scion 2004 xA that was having problems that my previous mechanic was unable to diagnose. Took it to Junior’s and it took him literally 15 seconds to take a look and diagnose the problem. Long story short, it was water damage, a total loss, and eligible for an insurance claim as a result. Saved me so much money by being honest that there was nothing that could be done. Once I got a new car, he won my business for life!!

The staff at Juniors make us come back (and not in evil, coercive way). They’re upfront about what the vehicle needs, and have reasonable rates. I’ve been coming there since 2021, and I’m glad I found them.

This is my 2nd year stopping at Juniors for my car inspection, and each time this family goes above and beyond. Junior and his sons prove that great businesses, incredible customer service and all around joy of life exists! THANK YOU Junior for making a simple experience so much more profound. From the mama with the 2 kids reading in the backseat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My Family has been using Junior’s for Over a dozen years with only great results. It’s a real Family company. We have even attended their annual Xmas Eve bash in the garage. They are great at dealing with Insurance companies and Our car is always finished on schedule.

While competent, I will never go back to this place again. The first time I went, the service was fine sincey my husband was involved. Junior (the owner) was nearly hoping and skipping around for this mans business. The following year was very different when I went alone. My car failed inspection, & I was told to drive the car a certain way to reset the computer. I did, and the car failed a second time. That's when Junior yelled at me in front of other customers telling me that I wasn't listening, heard what his son said, but was doing what I wanted to do. He spoke to me like a five yr old. I felt embarrassed, and shocked. I tried doing what he said a second time, because I already paid for the service, and the car failed again. He became even more irrate than the first time, and tried to yell at me some more. I finally put him in his place, took my car, and vowed never to return. I simply will never pay someone to treat me like garbage. A good professional relationship is as important as any other, but he doesn't seem to know or care about that. This guy doesn't know the first thing in treating people with respect - not women anyway. Ladies, unless your partners will take your car in for you - stay away from this place.

I really appreciate my interactions with the team at Junior's. Everyone I met there is very friendly, kind, and straightforward and trustworthy. They even explain issues and services to me in ways I can understand. Excellent communication and care! All services are guaranteed and the team does great work. I don't like needing auto repairs, but when I do, I am happy to be a customer of Junior's because I know they will help me. Thank you!!

I am always working to keep a 1977 Chevy G10 (big hippy-hauling van) on the road and kicking. Juniors is a huge part of that. I have mechanics in the family back in FL - and this is the kind of place they recommend. The team here is fantastic. Junior and one other gentleman are usually the only guys who answer the phone - always excellent customer service and courteous even when busy. They have always been there for me when I call with a quick question and theyve been there for bigger projects as needed. I usually call and check when theyve got time to take Clementine in - but they have always been accommodating in a pinch. Work with them and theyll work with you. This is the kind of business where a bit of mutual respect will take you a long way. Would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone - from safety inspections to major engine work - these are the go-to dudes!

★★★★★

Like many people, I often dread going to the mechanic because of long wait times, a lack of transparency, and them always trying to upsell you. However, the folks at Juniors are kind, honest, and speedy. I had to get a tire changed out, and it was such a friendly experience. They got back to me when they said they would, presented me with all the options, and got the job done expediently. Will definitely be going back!

I don t typically review anything, but I think this place is more than worthy of a 5 star review. Sean communicated the issue with my Lexus rx350 very clearly, explaining the costs associated with it as well, to where a person like me that doesn t know too much about the workings of a vehicle could understand. This man was extremely respectful and honest about everything, and treated me like I was family. Gave me honest advice and even took time out of his busy day to answer all the questions I had about my current situation. I can t speak highly enough about Sean and about Juniors Auto Repair. The 1 hour drive to get there was 100% worth it. I found my go to place for any and all car related inquiries.

In an unusual set of circumstances, my older Honda Civic had its catalytic converter sawed off with additional damage to the electrical system (specifically, the computer). Junior s had done some work on the car in the past for my son, who lives in Brooklyn, and drives it. I still own the car and live in Cincinnati. As a result, handling insurance claims, communication about repairs, everything had to be done over the phone since I was the official owner of the car. Sean facilitated the process and made the whole deal proceed flawlessly. This vehicle is hardly pristine. One might have to stretch the term to say it s in fair condition but it runs well. Sean treated me like we d dropped off a 7 Series BMW he couldn t have been more professional. Next time I m in Brooklyn visiting my son, I m going to try and drop in at his shop and introduce myself. 5 stars from me!

I was happy and pleased with services recently completed for my 2008 Honda Pilot. Sean, explained everything to me that my vehicle needed to run properly again and extensive work was needed, (transmission, radiator, water pump, timing belt, etc ). I am happy I made the decision to have the repairs done at this business. I am back on the road happily driving. Thank you Mr. Junior and Joshua for servicing my vehicle and providing professional service to me. Shelia K.

I purchased a used car and was told Junior should evaluate the vehicle. Brought the car in and Junior named the issues with the car in under 4 hours. He said if the items listed aren t repaired by the dealership return the vehicle because it will cause issues. He was spot on. In less than 30 days my Land Rover LR4 had a check engine light and the suspension light. If I didn t listen to him I would be stuck with a lemon. He s truly a engine doctor.

Called the shop to get my car electrical checked. The person who answered the phone told me they will check it and if they feel to fix it they would. What kind of business ethic is that. Then they want you to support black owned business. They have changed. Found a better place.

I went there because another mechanic from another shop told me to get front end work done and when I came to Juniors shop he said my front end feels amazing and only charged me for minimal work. He could of cheated me but he was very honest. I just went back for a Freon added to my Air Conditioner.

I took my car over there first thing he asked was how many people touched my car,it s a 2015 car five years old,that was the dumbest question to asked,,his job was to check my car with the bmw computer which he didn t..I guess he was being a hater cause I drive the same car he drive as a shop owner,so unprofessional, worst place to go

I was referred to Juniors after months of being fleeced by my neighborhood Meineke, which misdiagnosed the problems with my Honda Civic. Their referral was the best thing they couldve ever done because when I ended up stranded on the side of the road with an overheated car, I called Juniors and was towed in. It took a while to repair what was wrong but I didnt mind because I felt they knew what they were doing and Sean communicated with me during the process. I appreciate their honesty. When that same car started giving problems again a few months later, Junior ran a diagnostic and told me straight up: I could sink more money into that lemon or put it towards a new vehicle. He didnt pressure me to make unnecessary repairs and after dealing with a few crooked repair shops, that was a welcome change. So me and my new car will continue to go to Juniors because they do good work, dont give you the runaround and are straightforward. They also do a Womans Car Clinic which I thought was a nice touch.
