Jacks R Better is a great auto shop we have ever taken our cars to. Jack is a very reliable, respectful, responsible, caring, professional, reasonably-priced person. We take all of are cars to him when there is something wrong with our vehicles. We have never found a shop or a person who is so well worth our time and money for repairs until we found Jacks R Better. My husband loves that he can talk to Jack directly and how Jack lets you know up front about your vehicle issues and/or if the money you spend to fix your vehicle even worth fixing before spending/wasting your money and/or your time and his. THANK YOU JACKS R BETTER!!

Jack is a rude old disgruntled man who probably hates women because he spoke to another man with a great attitude. Wasnt my first rodeo with the same car issue and he spoke to me like I was a dummy not understanding the car situation. After talking about service for a vehicle with JACKa$$ Ill never go there. If I could give zero stars I would. Prices better elsewhere anyway.

For starters whoever I was dealing with was extremely rude. I have been in and out of this shop for the past 3 weeks now. I initially had my vehicle towed to this shop after it had stopped running and left me on the side of the road. When I first called the man was extremely rude, but was willing to look at my vehicle dispite not  having an appointment wich was honestly nice of them. They ran diagnostics cleaned out throttle body sensor but did not adress the original issue wich was a large evap leak. I assumed they did since The car was drivable after that and was told to drive it around for a bit, to take back to smog. NP, I also had them change my brakes(very pricey). After I had driven my car around. Check engine light pops on. When I checked, it was the the same evap leak code. So I took it back. Ofcourse very rude and not him remembering why or what I was bringing the vehicle back for, but I needed to get this fixed orelse I wouldve taken it somewhere else so I left it. Keep in mind this business will not call to give updates in vehicle so I waited until almost closing time to call and see what was going on? All that they did that day was run a diagnosis. Thats it! No repair nothing. So I took my vehicle because I needed to get to work and back for the week and made an appointment with them to finally fix this and have it smogged. Today was my appointment and when I arrived, again extremely rude and had no clue why I was bringing in the vehicle AGAIN!. Assuming finally my vehicle would be fixed smogged and ready to go. I patiently waited. I called about 30 mins before closing time and all that they had done was look at it! That they would let me know tomorrow.Then what was the point of the appointment? These people dont know what they are doing and are a complete waste of time. I unfortunately have to leave my vehicle there in hopes it will get fixed but will never EVER use.or recommend this place to anyone ever again. Long, but honest review here folks

Took our truck there, had clutch replaced end up costing $1160, Jack himself said there is no need to drive it, everything is new and under warranty! We got our truck back and there is still a noise, he said its in the transmission! Hmmm, if everything is new and no need to test drive then there was a noise when we did! If we would have known this when he had the transmission out we would have paid for the other part! We trusted with our safety but now 1160 later we are still not happy! Would NOT recommend to family or friends! We really feel like we were done so unfairly!

This was my first visit to Jacks. Very professional and knowledgeable about my vehicles issue. I called several places that Ive taken my car before and most had no clue on how to detect a fuel smell inside the cab of the car. Jacks had the right tool for the job! So theyre the right shop for my fsamily.

Have a 1987 Jeep that I have been taking to Jack for a number of years for all sorts of needed service. They have always been very professional and have dealt with some unusual problems and got the job done right. I trust their work and recommend them to anyone needing service.

You can trust Jack and his staff to treat you right. The most honest repair shop I have ever used. I take all of our vehicles to Jacks R Better, even the ones still under warranty.

I bought this car to commute, a Mercedes that had some miles left on it. I stopped to get gas and the timing chain jumped and stripped the gears on the pulley. I thought the gas was bad but didn’t want to chance it so I had it towed to Jack’s. He gave me the news and offered me 2 fixes, I knew the metal had circulated through the motor so it was toast. Jack got a replacement motor for a 05 Mercedes C230 Kompressor with only 61,000 on it installed $3,700. With a 6 month, 6,000 mile warranty. Thanks Jack, the supercharger works great too👍🏻

Jack’s R Better is one of the best auto repair shops I have ever visited. I like their honesty, fairness and total professionalism.I appreciate this as a single woman. I can trust that my car will be repaired in a timely manner at a fair price.I also like that they don’t give up on a difficult problem until that problem is solved. I will be taking my car to Jack whenever there is a problem in the future.— Jeanne G.

We recently moved to Atwater and I needed work done on my truck. I tried Jack’s R Better and was extremely pleased with their service, pricing and positive attitude in general. My wife needed a ride to pick up my truck and the owners wife was immediately willing to pick her up. She commented to me how friendly and nice she was. We had a great experience and recommend them highly.Don Luckenbach
