I have taken my car here twice now, once for AC repair and a problem with my gas tank. Then another time for wheel hub assembley and ball joint replacement. Jim's team does great work! Straight to the point, timely and accurate in what they do. I recommend them.

Jim is nothing but honest and reliable. My family and I have been taking our cars to him since I moved to SWFL in 2012, and would not trust anyone else. If you are having issues with your car, he should be your go to guy!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Don t go here. Jim s a nice guy but he s the classic trial and error mechanic. I brought in my Toyota Tacoma because the air conditioning wasn t working. I had already had it diagnosed somewhere else, and thought I could save some money by Gomez mobile mechanic. Bad idea. Jim replaced the AC unit and then told me he needed to replace another part. And in the end my air conditioning still didn t work so when I called him and I told him about it, he said yeah there must be something else going on in there with the vents. But at this point I had already spent $1500 with him. Do yourself a favor and just go to a proper mechanic.

If you live within 100 miles of Jim's you have no excuse. This guy runs the most honest mechanic shop that I have EVER been to! If I still lived in SWFL I would still be a regular customer. He's honest, reasonably priced and will take care of you and your car and get you back on the road. My only complaint is getting an appointment is a challenge sometimes. That just shows that he stays busy and does a damn good job! 10/5. Best mechanic in the state!

I came in short notice and he managed to squeeze me in. I thought the repair would be something intensive, because of the issue I was having and suggestions from mechanic friends, but they found the issue and charged a fair price to correct it!I definitely appreciate their honesty and being able to work me in.

First time in my life that a mechanic actually suggest I spend LESS money with them. Each time I ve been to him he s gotten my car in and out quickly, doing exactly what I needed done without trying to squeeze a couple more bucks outta me. Great guy, great work.

I needed a new radiator fan and within 4 hours of dropping it off my car has already been fixed and picked up and has not overheated since. Jim is a very nice friendly guy as well! Thank you for fixing my car fast and efficiently!!

My mom and I always bring our vehicles to Jim's Automotive since 2009. Jim is fair, has great prices, he's open and honest, never pokes around for things to fix, but he'll let you know if something does need to be fixed or looked at. I believe that my money and time have been well spent with this mechanic and his staff. You won't find a more frank and honest place for your vehicles!! I recommend all makes and models. This is a valuable asset to our community.

April 2018:Took our car to Jim again this year and again had a fantastic experienced. The car was expertly fixed and serviced quickly. Communications and pickup were a breeze. Highly recommended.Feb 2017:Jim and his shop are fantastic! My husband Ken just got his BMW back and we are thrilled with the quality of work, price, and customer service! We moved here from Connecticut and took a chance after meeting Jim. We are not sorry. We will bring all our cars to his shop from now on. He is honest, trustworthy, and knowledgable. The shop is clean and he did the work quickly and professionally. Thanks Jim!!!

Anybody whos lived in San Carlos for more then a decade knows Jim is a snake. after listening to everybody telling me not to go there, I decided to go anyways, because he specialized in air conditionings. after getting my air checked, Jim tells me I needed a new compressor, and a new radiator fan. I decided to just get the new radiator fan, which he replaced within a couple of hours. the next day, transmission fluid had leaked all over my driveway. it never leaked before, so I take it back to him and explain everything, he gives me a nasty look and takes my keys. my car sits at his shop for 3 DAYS. finally, I get fed up and called him and asked the status on my car. after an hour he calls me back, and tells me he needed to replace a hose. he charged me eighty dollars for something that he or one of his flunkies' did to my car. Now, 3 months later, its leaking again. of course, I will not be returning, I will be going to Curry's, which is the next road over. they are trusted, and have always been good with me.

By far the best experience I have had with any automotive repair shop! I took my Jeep in to have a transmission installed and it was finished the same day. There was a problem with the wiring on the transmission, but Jim drove the Jeep and located the problem after I already paid! That sort of wonderful customer service is hard to fine. The price was very fair. I will definitely recommend this shop to family and friends.

Jim s Automotive & A/C is always a great experience. A very talented individual, he and his crew can handle small to large repairs a vehicle could possibly need. After reading great reviews from his loyal customers, I tried his shop also. No nonsense repairs at reasonable rates backed by his virtuous integrity. Jim s is now my go to shop and you should try them also.

Jim and his staff took care of my vehicle like a professional. Jim talked to me over the phone and in person as well, the diagnosis of my vehicle was fast and accurate. They fixed the problem with my vehicle and with a smile and some comedy. I'll be using his shop again in the future

Brought my BMW here for a quick repair, other shops were going to charge me outrageous prices. They gave me such an amazing deal!! I plan on bringing my car here for everything from now on, they are very honest, transparent, and reliable! I bought my used car almost a year ago and have been taking it to a different place and it was always SO expensive even for a minor repair. I cant believe I didn't bring my car here sooner, definitely happy I found them.

We were early for our appointment, Jim took us right away and we were in and out. He recharged our a/c. He told us 15 minutes and it was done in 15 minutes. Other places I called said it would take much longer and cost more. Jim's price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.Karen

I called in the morning around 730 to have my front brakes replaced in a pinch, I am on a cross country road trip and needed have these done before heading back home. The service was great and they had me finished up in around an hour of me bringing it in! Thank you for the quick and honest service you guys provide. I will be back in the future if I find myself in the area again and needing anything A+

We came down on vacation from Cincinnati. Our Suburban came down with a serious case of bad brakes. Called Jim the owner after hours Tuesday night, he answered. Had me up and on the move in an hour and a half Wednesday morning. Great guy, great business, very customer oriented and his price was fare and honest. If your ever are in need of mechanic services in Ft.Meyers, here is your answer.Arrowhead heating and cooling,Thomas Jones

Jim's has been the place my girlfriend has gone for a while, so when I need an emergency radiator repair, Jim was able to get me in quick and the repair was perfectly and at lower than expected price .

Just stopped by earlier today with a green Honda Pilot. The staff there got right into helping me as I walked in the door and talked me through everything they were doing. The staff member helping me went inside to get his boss and they honestly could not have been any friendlier or more helpful. They asked a few background questions to help diagnose the issue and than got right into it. When no problem was discovered they sent me on my way with no charge (something most automotive places would not do). I would highly advise anyone who needs help to go here as they really know their stuff and care about their customers.

My son attends school in Fort Meyers. We needed a mechanic ASAP. They were extremely helpful and fixed my son's car in an hour. These guys are reasonable, helpful and professional Will be back for sure.

When I was a child my dad took his vehicles to Jim's. When I was a teenager having car trouble my dad would say, "Take it to Jim's." As an adult (living 45 minutes away from Jim's!) I still "take it to Jim's." My daughter will soon be driving, and I will tell her what I am telling you now: Take it to Jim's. Because the guy is legit.

I called a few days ago, to set up an appointment. Went in this morning, got me right in. Diagnosed it told me it would cost a reasonable amount of money. So I had them fix it. I was in and out for a great price and great timing. I will def recommend this place to friends and family....
