5 /5 Hans Hammond: If Gandalf, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and your favorite uncle all had a love child who decided to become a mechanic instead of saving the galaxy, youd get JP at Stratta Auto Repair. This guy is the real deal—honest, skilled, and rocking a beard that could probably fix your car by itself if he let it.
Unlike those chain shops where they try to convince you that your perfectly fine blinker fluid needs replacing, JP & his great grandpa Phil tell it like it is. If you need a new alternator, he’ll replace it. If you don’t, he won’t try to Jedi-mind-trick you into one. It’s almost suspicious how trustworthy he is—I half expect him to be a secret superhero, using his shop as a front for saving the world one oil change at a time.
Even better, it’s a family-run business, which means you get treated like a human being instead of an invoice. So if you want a mechanic who won’t sell you nonsense, will actually fix your car right, and looks like he could moonlight as a Norse god, this is your guy. Five stars and a swift fist bump of approval!
