Just took my car to Jim at James Auto Works for the first time and I’m already planning to come back and am telling all my friends. This guy is like the reliable neighbor you can actually talk to - super friendly and down to earth.
His shop is very clean and well-kept, which was a good first impression. But what really sold me was how honest and straightforward he was about everything. He walked me through what was going on with my car and didn’t try to push any extra services I didn’t need. His prices were fair as well.
Jim’s just one of those people you feel comfortable dealing with right away. Professional but personable, you know?
Really glad I found this place. If you’re in Lakewood and need a trustworthy mechanic, look Jim up! read lessChris Leong1/03/2026Took my Volvo XC90 here because Valvoline didn’t know how to reset my “Needs Maintenance” light after an oil change... read moreTook my Volvo XC90 here because Valvoline didn’t know how to reset my “Needs Maintenance” light after an oil change as well as my Tire Pressure light after filling my tire.
James took care of it in about 2 minutes and was so sweet to let me stay in my car with my kids.
Will be coming back here and recommending James to anyone with a Volvo!
Thank you and Merry Christmas! read lessPNW Mama12/19/2025Took my Volvo XC90 here because Valvoline didn’t know how to reset my “Needs Maintenance” light after an oil change... read moreTook my Volvo XC90 here because Valvoline didn’t know how to reset my “Needs Maintenance” light after an oil change as well as my Tire Pressure light after filling my tire.

I brought in my 2001 Volvo XC70, which I honestly thought I’d have to abandon or donate because it needed so many repairs. Other shops had quoted me prices so high that fixing it didn’t seem worth it.
Jim not only took on the challenge but managed to bring my car back to perfect running condition, for about half of what I was quoted elsewhere. The quality of the work is outstanding, and I feel like I have a brand-new car again.
If you’re looking for an honest, skilled, and reasonably priced mechanic who truly cares about both the car and the customer, this is the place to go. I’m so grateful to have found James Auto Works and will definitely be coming back for all future repairs and maintenance. read lessConnieMN18/19/2025Jim is a unicorn, uniquely experienced/skilled with Volvos and will help his customers diagnose their Volvo whether or not it... read moreJim is a unicorn, uniquely experienced/skilled with Volvos and will help his customers diagnose their Volvo whether or not it makes him a cent. read less

He is amazing in many ways! I’m a broke college student so money is not something I always have readily available, and not only does he take that into account when telling me I need to get new parts, but he also takes great detail in explaining on how I can fix something on my own (or my boyfriend) rather than paying 300+ for labor at a dealership. He is kind, knowledgeable, and always willing to give the biggest helping hand. He recommends best cost effective ways in fixing my car, and it really shows how experienced he is in his explanations. 10/10 recommend Jim for life!! read less

He cut to the chase and told me I'm better off buying a new car rather than having him fix it. He also told me that if I'm looking to buy another Volvo, to have him look it at first. The Volvo dealership would have charged me $500 for that info. Highly recommend. read less
