My friends recommended C & J Auto on Jefferson Davis Highway. I needed some work done on my car so I stopped in for a quote. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and explained things to me that I could understand. I was given a fair price and they were able to take care of my car the next day! I couldn’t be happier. They will be taking care of my car from now on. It’s great to have a mechanic that I trust and feel comfortable with. Thank you so much for everything! Beth Kendall

I am new in town and I was looking for mechanic shop that can look at my car the same day because the engine light turned on. I called two different mechanic shops first and called C & J to compare prices. C & J service is very reasonable and less expensive comparing to the two shops. The best part about C & J is that when I called, they were able to take care of my car immediately and the customer service was excellent. They did a diagnostic test and since the result/codes was caused by changing the battery, C & J did not charge me for the diagnostic test. Thank you C & J! If you are looking for auto services, I would highly recommend this shop.

Quality work, very knowledgeable and professional. They definitely try to educate and help you understand why or what needs to be done instead of the typical "selling jobs" that you get from most places. Got the job done and went above my expectation. Definitely recommend this place for any type of work. From engine, suspension, brakes, drivetrain I thrown it all at them and was met with nothing but quality workmanship. No complaints.

I highly recommend C & J!! I was referred to them through family and so thankful! My timing chain went bad on my 2011 Buick Enclave and they were the cheapest in price upon many others I checked! They had the 15 hour job done within 2 days and back on the road running smoothly. Fast forward 6 months later, due to other reasons and ofcourse a GM product my tensioner broke on my timing chain. Even under warranty, they still did not have to fix it but these kind souls upheld my faith in humanity and covered the repair! Olivia was very pleasant and kind to speak with the many times I called! Wade communicated every detail and was on top of getting my car on the road. Wouldn't go anywhere else!!

They were amazing, and their efficiency was excellent. I called on a Saturday and requested my truck to be serviced as soon as possible. They had given me several options and requested my availability to see which best suits me. Feeling thankful, I asked to be serviced that following Tuesday morning; when I arrived at the facility it was clean, neat, and very well structured, with plenty of parking for customers. The office staff were very patient and considerate of all attendees in their establishment, offering refreshments and even requesting our permission and feedback before purchasing any parts or doing any additional repairs or fixes to the vehicle. I left feeling more confident than ever about the service I received from the team. I'll be sure to come back if I ever need to do anything with my truck again.

I actually Googled this company because my vehicle was having some issues with accelerating and the check engine light was on. I took my car in to their shop that morning and the process was amazing. Within an hour, they text me to let me know they had found the problem and what my estimate would be. I held my breath because I knew it was going to be bad. Well, guess what? It was totally affordable. They completed the work and sent me another text letting me know that my vehicle was ready for pickup. All of this was done within the same day. I can't believe I drove around like this for 5 months with these issues. Li'l Red-My car now runs like she did when I bought it brand new 6 years ago. Your shop and your team are awesome and I will definitely recommend this location to everyone I know.

When I was growing up, my grandad made sure to teach me how to do all my own work on cars, and I appreciate that. But sometimes there's just some jobs I can't do, mostly because of the specialized tools required. I like bringing my car here for those jobs. This place is fast, fair, and honest. I've been to other shops for work I can't do myself, but this place is best I think. I hope it stays that way, and I hope they're around for a real long time.



06/26/2023

My car wouldn't start in the parking lot of the library a couple blocks away, and I walked over and they sent 2 techs to go look at it and they were able to jump start it and bring it over. The battery needs to be replaced and they were quick and helpful when it was hot and I had two kids with me. The salesman spoke to my husband over the phone and explained the battery options and stuff with him since that's stuff I don't understand. Great customer service and quick. They even had some toys for my kids to play with in the waiting room.

Friendly staff made for getting my repairs there easier than elsewhere. They diagnosed the issue quickly plus did a free inspection. That was a good way for them to upsell me on the smaller, cheaper things that needed fixed while allowing me to keep in mind what I need to get done and how much that'll cost down the road. They were more comprehensive than other places I've gone to. Two people recommended them to me so I knew I found trust them and that they'd listen to me and actually fix what the problem is without a hassle, which they did.

On our travels back from Florida started to hear a clunking sound coming from the rear of our 03 express van high top. We couldn't figure out if it was the differential or something else. Ended up spending the night in a hotel since everything was closed at 8pm. Made calls around to multiple shops, C & J said they could get us in. Once we limped the car over they put it up on a small lift just to start looking at it and allowing the other lift to finish its work. They found a leak coming from the differential. We assumed the diff was empty and maybe that went. After about an hour they found that the driver side rear tire was missing lugs and one of the studs actually snapped. So the tire was extremely loose and could of potentially fallen off on the drive home. The service was fast, they were on point, and took the time to thoroughly diagnose the problem. They kept us informed through the entire process. Highly recommend for repairs.

I was referred to this shop by a neighbor due to me still being fairly new to the area and I wanted to write a review for this company. I enjoyed my experience (I had to have a starter repaired). I like how they give the part # on the invoice of my receipt letting me know that it wasn't a reman but a new starter. I am a woman that DOES know her car parts, but I wasn't treated like how some individuals treat a woman/talk down to a woman assuming that she lacks car knowledge. Plus a nice young woman works there anyway. I had to wait at least a week after the service was done to write this review in case something happened to make me change my mind, just being honest. Everything is all good. I have every intention on returning to have one more job done for my car. I think my 20 old year car is in good hands with them.

My car was making a weird clanking sound when I turned, and I brought it in on a whim when the sound had gotten worse and they were more than happy to help resolve the issue even though they seemed pretty busy. Most places would have turned me away being so busy, so I greatly appreciate that they helped me out. 100% recommend coming here!

My wife's van was having issues keeping the air conditioning nice and cool, especially in the back for our kids. After getting the run around at another shop "because the car is black, it's normal", we decided to bring it here. We are extremely pleased with the services we received. They found the problems, got the warranty taken care of so we only came out of pocket for our deductible. As hard as parts can be to get right now, they still had it finished in a day and everything is running perfectly now!! Will continue to come to them for any service we need from now on!

It took them no time to solve my problem., I was apprehensive about getting electrical work done in fear of having to pay a lot to fix the problem.

The service personnel and mechanics of River's Bend Auto Service provided me with exemplary service. I was on my way home to Wilmington, NC from a trip to Pennsylvania when my car went dead at food stop in Chester, VA. I replaced the battery, however, all the "need service" warning lights flashed on. River's Bend Auto Service was highly recommended to me so I traveled there hoping that my car would make it without stalling out. The mechanics checked my battery and alternator as well as other areas under my hood. Meanwhile the service women behind the desk spent a better part of an hour calling around to various auto stores and a dealerships inquiring about the immediate availability of alternators in case the latter needed to be replaced. It was suggested that I go to the only Honda dealership around which was about a twenty minute drive in order to have my car diagnostically evaluated. I did so and Honda reset the codes on my car and all was well. River's Bend Auto Service would not have been able to do that but recognizing that I needed such help stirred me in the right direction so that I could then drive home the same evening free of difficulties. This time and effort on their part was provided without charge and with concern for my well being. They called me to make sure I found the Honda dealership and also the next morning to inquire as to the outcome. Words can not convey my appreciation and gratitude to all there for their help and concern. I highly recommend River's Bend Auto Service.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the pricing was fair. It seemed like a fun workplace too, which is a plus in my book. They were able to schedule me in pretty quickly and the oil change and inspection was done in an hour. And as a bonus, the sticker for next oil change was reflective of my actual car and the type of oil it uses (synthetic) rather than the generic 3 month/3,000 miles other places have stuck on. All around pleasant experience and would recommend them as my friend and her dad recommended them to me. I live in Richmond city but it's worth the drive for nice, honest people and fair pricing.

Mark worked with me to replace head gaskets on my 2005 LLY Duramax. Aside from a few minor things, and a long wait on the head shop, the work was done well. The price was very reasonable as well. Didn't replace anything that wasn't asked for. Put in ARP head studs as I'm running higher than normal boost and towing 10-14k regularly. Overall very satisfied with C&J. Very transparent, gave me back the replaced parts showing that it was necessary and made suggestions, but didn't push anything not needed. Over a thousand miles later, I'm getting better economy while towing and seeing cooler temps than ever. If I lived in Richmond, this would be my mechanic.

They performed the oil change and then pointed out that one tire was damaged and may not need an alignment if I were to replace the damaged tire. They then contacted a local tire shop, provided the tire size, confirmed they had the tire I needed, and was able to get me "referral discount on the tire. Turned out that I didn't need the alignment after all. All completed within a reasonable time, considering I didn't have an appointment. Thank you River's Bend Auto.
