JPR Automotive

Building relationships on trust and commitment to quality

Professional mechanical work, with a “Back Yard Shop” atmosphere

I'm Josh!
Your Certified Red Seal Mechanic

Professional Red Seal, Automotive Service Technician

Professionally licensed, so we won’t void your Warranty!

We service all makes and models, as well as off road vehicles, boat motors, service/farm implements and motorcycles.

What are we doing here?

It’s all pretty simple really.

I started this mechanic shop to offer my years of experience, service and quality directly to the consumer, without being bogged down by decision makers, micro managers and the pressure to generate profits for a business I ultimately was just another cog within.

These days, I get to experience a different level of pride and excitement about my work, that I’ve never been able to before. That translates into a safe and healthy vehicle for you, at a price you can feel good about.

Why work with a private mechanic?

Comfort

Working directly with your mechanic means building a personal relationship. Nothing gets lost in translation between front staff and technicians.

Trust

Local mechanics live off of the relationships built with their clients. Nothing hurts a local mechanic more than losing the trust of their clients.

Affordability

Less overhead, less pressure, higher quality. You get all the benefits of a trained, knowledgeable mechanic without paying corporate price tags.

Dynamic

Sometimes, problems aren't cookie-cutter, and require more attention than a production shop can provide. I see every job through to completion myself.

Josh is amazing with our vehicles. He always takes care to make sure everything is in good working order and advises us of any upcoming wear and tear items giving us peace of mind. He's saved us a lot of money over other places advising us of service work we didn't need. I highly recommend JPR.

Josh is amazing at what he does. He is fast, friendly and efficient. I brought my car to him for brakes and an oil change. He called me about an hour or so after I dropped my car off to let me know it was ready to be picked up. Josh is the only person I will bring my car to when it needs work.

Excellent, efficient service. Josh set out to run a business with integrity and competency, and adds excellent client care to the mix. A competitor misdiagnosed my shaking vehicle and I spent hundreds having things addressed that didn't fix the issue, so I went to Josh who diagnosed a very dangerous separated tire in seconds, addressing the issue immediately and getting me back on the road quickly and safely. P.S., being able to text my mechanic is amaaaaaaazing.

Josh has saved me quite a few times. I often find myself in a hurry and when something happens to my truck it grinds my day to a halt. Josh has always been ready to assess whatever issues my truck has and explain my options. He is the perfect mix of personable and professional, a mechanic that treats you like you've known him forever. I absolutely can attest to his honesty, he will not steer you wrong.I was relieved when Josh opened up his own shop, I really appreciate having someone I can trust to take care of any vehicle issues that come up. If you are googling a mechanic in Tbay and you are reading this, I really advise giving Josh a call and getting his opinion.

I met Josh almost 2 years ago, and he's been my mechanic ever since. Fantastic work, has never led me astray with advice and takes care of all my friends as well. His assistant Daisy is friendly too!

Single mom working full-time here. My vehicle usually gets neglected because A) I'm super busy and B) I'm afraid of being taken advantage of by mechanics. Josh has squeezed me in a few times for oil changes last minute and urgent repairs. He gave me a price breakdown so I knew what to expect, price comparisons and gave me a bit of education on my vehicle. Top notch service, happy I found this shop!

World Class Assistance
