“Jim Davis Automotive is truly a gem of the neighborhood. I’ve had numerous positive experiences there over a forty year period. BJ and his crew are truly wonderful people and great mechanics. The operation always provides quick turn around and very fair pricing. They have come through for me so many times. Reliable, close by, competent, friendly and imbedded in the neighborhood.
It doesn’t get any better than Jim Davis Automotive”
“Exactly what you look for in a dealership. This will be my go-to option for the south Bay Area for repairs and oil changes. Team was very responsive and made the proper repair on my vehicle to get my car working again.”
“The battery replacement was fine. However the coolant container cap was left wide open. That was close to the battery, and during the installation it has been somehow opened. This was disappointing, and I am glad I checked and found it before leaving the shop.”

2029 Old Middlefield Way, Mountain View“Excellent communication, along with great timing to bring in our car for repair. I'm extremely picky about my beautiful, paid for, 2014 Lexus GS 350.
I cannot see any mistakes. Even the paint match is perfect, which is a very unusual Lexus color. The car rides immaculately again.
Great service; we have USAA. They recommended this repair shop.
We are highly satisfied.
Thank you.”
“I recently had the unexpected misfortune of a flat tire, and I was bracing myself for the hassle and expense of getting it fixed. However, my experience was completely different—thanks to the outstanding customer service I received!
From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. They quickly assessed the situation and assured me they'd take care of it. To my surprise, they repaired the tire with such efficiency that it felt like I had barely sat down in the waiting area before they were already finished.
But what really blew me away was when they told me the repair was at no cost! In a world where unexpected expenses can pile up quickly, this kind gesture was a breath of fresh air. They turned what could have been a stressful situation into a positive, memorable experience.
If you're ever in need of tire repair, I highly recommend this place. Their commitment to excellent service and genuine care for their customers is truly top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future needs, knowing I’m in good hands!”

Always trying to fit folks in even if their schedules are tight… Today I got to work in their waiting area while they worked on my car so I got even more exposure to their kindness and expertise. And I got to meet Jerome!”

“The morning I was trying to head out to the beach, my car was making a concerning noise. My usual mechanic couldn’t assess the car for nearly a week! I was uneasy driving it without some evaluation. KT and his team looked at it the morning I called, gave me an accurate assessment for immediate safety and what needed to be done for the near future. I will definitely be taking my car back to Advanced Motorworks, they are professional and extremely service oriented.”

3251 Ash St, Palo Alto“Say Ray is wonderful! They fix your car and explain what they're doing. They never look down on you if you're not so savvy about cars or if your car happens to be 20 years old. I always feel confident about taking my car here because I know they're honest and they don't try to sell you anything you don't need.
The garage looks like it was originally a house. It's in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking. I HIGHLY recommend to everyone to take their car there. But please leave an appointment for me. ;)
I did, however, have to call back and apologize for the state of my car when they pulled the seat back to be able to moved it. (I'm vertically challenged so they don't want to drive with their knees in their faces) I was HORRIFIED to see what was under the driver's side seat and immediately took my car to a carwash where I washed it and vacuumed it out. I will now be adamant about taking care of my car. OMG”
“Today when I was waiting for green light in front of Arco, my nearly dead battery got completely dead due to the gas saving and auto restarting function of my car.

“From the moment I received a recall letter on my mail, I felt at ease knowing the company was actively involved in solving the situation with the gas injection pump.
I was very lucky to be attended by Sahil, he made sure I had all the information, resolved all my questions and he was very nice in checking on me a few times while I was in the waiting area.
After the repair was completed, I noticed a strong fuel smell and without any hesitation Sahil helped me out again to attend this matter in a very efficient and professional fashion.
I highly encourage everyone to get their service-repairs at this shop.”
“I came to the store a few days ago, and Mr. Zhu Kai, a Chinese sales specialist, personally received me and served me throughout the process, making me satisfied with the purchase of a new car. His service attitude is warm and thoughtful, patient and meticulous, and he took the trouble to answer my questions one by one. He is also very efficient, has excellent professional knowledge, can consider customers, and has a trustworthy character. I recommend that everyone come here when they are interested in buying a car. Take a look at the store.”
“EVERYONE on the sales floor was terrific. They made a total effort to get us a deal we could accept. New to EV, they even help with charging the vehicle and learning its features. We had agreed on a total price, including a rescission contract. When we got to the final step with the financing assoc., she told us the rescission contract was not included in the agreed price. She basically said that it didn’t matter what the sales staff agreed to, the final arrangement was up to her! After such exceptional service, we were disheartened that the last step was with a person who made us uncomfortable and upset.”
