Jays Automotive - Ventura (CA)

5 /5 jkehoe100: I trust Jay. Period. I have a lot of cars. I have been to a lot of mechanics. In Ventura County, there are two I trust. One is Jay’s. If there isn’t a problem, he lets you know. If there is a problem, he charges you an honest price. I’ve sent my daughter there who is lazy and would rather take it to a place closer until I told her she is paying. We live in Ojai. We pass unknown amounts of mechanics on our way to Jay’s.

5 /5 Rolando Mia: Jay went out of his way on New Years Day to help me. He happened to be in his shop on New Years 2024 when I saw his door open and he was inside - I needed a smog because I waited too long to get it done. When I saw him I asked if he was open - he said he was not and was actually closing up. I was bummed and he could tell. He asked what I needed and when I told him, thought a second and said, cmon Ill get you. Stayed extra time on his day off to help me. Great to meet a genuinely good person!!!

5 /5 Ben Froelich-Leon: Great for old carbureted engines because Jay can get them to pass smog testing with a little tuning. Very friendly and helpful staff. This is probably common sense but make sure you get a hold of someone on the phone rather than leaving a message. I left messages that didnt get checked but when I spoke with Jay or his employees they were prompt and got the job done. Not really a problem really as long as you know this. I will definitely be coming back to Jays for my next smog check!

5 /5 Michael Colitti: I have been going to Jays for decades. A great mechanic and truly honest. My daughter came up from Huntington Beach to have Jay work on her Kia.
