About us

I started in the automotive industry when I was in high school and continued my training after working for two independent automotive shops leading me to Mercedes Benz. Only two years later, I started my own shop in the heart of North Side, which was in a really bad part of town but once the word got around that there was a good technician in town, people flocked for me to work on their cars. The City Zoning Committee shut me down and I was forced to move. I moved to Bellevue for another 3 years, continuously building my customer base through word of mouth, and now we are located on Mount Nebo Road. As of February 1, 2014 we will be operating in our best shop yet on McKnight Road where we hope to continue to build our customer base and reputation locally. In the last 4 years we have upgraded every piece of equipment including Automotive Lifts, Tire Machines, Computer Equipment, Scanners and a multitude of shop tools. I have also been studying and working toward my Master Certification.  I try very hard to keep a clean organized shop and recognize the importance keeping clean makes.

I feel very confident about him. The oil changes were $30 a piece and I did 2 inspections at $70 a piece and my tyres were around $300. I like that Jimmy does the work himself. I like that he didn't pass the work onto someone else, he looked at it, he knows what's wrong and he knows how to fix it. He moves very quickly. I've never seen a person move as fast as he does. He has always been very professional, very helpful, his shop is close by and it makes a big difference.
Description of Work: I used Jimmy's On-It Automotive 2 years ago to oil changes, brake work, tyre work and my boyfriend had his car worked on by them as well.

Description of Work: I went to Jimmy for a 100k mile check for my 2006 Subaru Forester and have gone to him for my last two oil changes and a state inspection. As a young woman who is not particularly mechanically savvy, I have never felt so comfortable taking my car in. Jimmy and his wife are such nice people, and they run their business with a professionalism that leaves you feeling confident to leave your car in their hands. The price for the 100k mile check was competitive with the local dealer's, and they gave me a free oil change on top of it. |I absolutely recommend them for your future auto needs!

Jimmy offered a Groupon deal for safety and emissions inspections. I scheduled the appointment, Jimmy was ready upon my arrival, did the inspections was courteous and efficient and I was out the door quickly. Will definitely use Jimmy's On-It again for other auto maintenance needs as well as inspections.
Description of Work: Auto safety and emissions inspections as a new PA resident.

I've used them on 3 separate occasions. The price for both bulbs was $17. He was very fair in his pricing. I could tell that he was very busy but he tried to get everything in as quickly as he could while I was there. Four other people dropped their cars off while I was there. If he could do something and have it running he would set that up and then go back to working on my car to get it down. I knew the inspections would be expensive and he was on par with everyone else. He was friendly and sociable the whole time. My boyfriend needs new back tires as a result of the inspection and he said to just call and he would set that up because now he can do tires as well. He seemed really honest and tried to give an estimate first based on what I thought it was. As soon as he knew, he gave me a call to let me know. He is straightforward in his pricing and in explaining things to the customer. I overheard him explaining brake rotors to a customer that had no idea. I would not worry about getting ripped off. He is usually pretty quick but he has a lot of business. Everyone including myself thinks he does really good work. I am going back to get the tires and another repair on my car.
Description of Work: I used Jimmy's On-It Automotive to replace the bulbs in both my headlights. I used them again for two Pennsylvania inspections. It included visual inspections and emissions testing.
