amazing service @ fat joe

Today 7/14 I had a flat tire and i needed to fix it asap. I drove to Fat Joes to get it repair however it was closed. Joe and another mechanic were working on a car and ask me if I needed help with something. I explained to them that I thought I had a nail and i needed to fix it. Without a hesitation they fixed it really quick. The greatest park about it was that ut was raining and they didnt mind fixing it while ge... view moretting wet. Amazing people amazing service. They where great, I would recommend Fat Joe to everyone I know!!!! =] thank you fat Joe

I have been working on my own cars for over 40 years, but did not have the time to work on my daughter`s 2000 Mit Galant. I took her car to Fat Joe`s in November 2012 to replace leaking oil seals and to replace the timing belt and water pump. A few weeks later, I had to take the vehicle back to FJ?ˆ™s due to an engine light and a misfire code. I specifically asked FJ?ˆ™s to check the timing on the motor. Picked the ... view morecar up after having the original work rechecked and it was still missing and running poorly. I finally broke down and took the car to Don Herring Mitsubishi in Irving where I have always had good service, quality work performed, but a bit more pricey. I spoke with Ebby, the Service Mgr and Ivan, the lead mechanic. I explained my situation and left the car with them and said "Fix It". Ebby and Ivan always provide excellent service and are very professional. Ivan spent an entire day working on the vehicle, and whala!, found the problem, The timing was approximately 4 notches off time. Ivan reset the timing. The car ran great and the engine light was off. I was trying to save a few bucks by taking my daughter`s car to FJ`s instead of the dealer. Ultimately, the dealer had to fix it anyway, and overall it cost me twice as much to fix the problem. The only positive note, when I took this up with Joe, the owner, he did at least reimburse me for the labor costs (but not parts). The shotty work performed by FJ`s was a tremendous inconvenience, cost me twice as much in aggravation and dollars, and we are very fortunate the engine was not severely damaged due to the timing error. I will never trust FJ`s with another of my vehicles again. It may have just been a sloppy mechanic, but take your vehicle to FJ`s at your own risk.

Great customer service & trustworthy

I have been to Fat Joe`s 2 times now and each time, I`ve had a great experience. They never pressure you to have more done than what you need and they are vet helpful and knowledgable. I will continue to be a long-time customer of Fat Joe`s and would recommend them to anyone. Plus, I like supporting a local/family business, especially one that does such a great job! They are awesome!

My boyfriend and I have been using this shop for a while. We went in for an oil change and it turned out the filter was faulty. It leaked oil, we took it back to Joe`s and they were so kind and professional they took full responsibility and replaced my entire engine free of cost and redid my oil change. I know there is bad reviews, but I DO NOT see this shop ever trying to rip anyone off. 5 star recommend. Its r... view moreare when you deal face to face with an owner and family.

I`ve been going here for years. They rebuilt an automatic transmission on one car and the shifts were so smooth I couldn`t feel them. They are friendly and professional. This is one place you can depend that the problem will be fixed correctly. In addition, there are no mysterious car problems a week or so later needing additional repairs as I experienced at several different repair shops. The prices are fair no... view moret cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I brought my Saturn Ion to Fat Joe`s to have my front end looked at for a clunking sound. After paying $39.00 to have it evaluated I was told my transmission needed to be rebuilt at the cost of $2500.00. I declined and took my car to another shop. They found out that my sway bar bushings were bad and there was nothing wrong with my transmission. What a bunch of con artist. Do not take your car here !!!

Excellent place

I`ve been to Fat Joe`s 6 or 7 times after being reffered by a friend. They are wonderful! they always fixed my problems right, had it done when they said it would be done, at a very reasonable rate, and are really nice people. Waiting room was clean , comfortable, and cheerful people to be around. I`ve never even met another customer who was unhappy with them. Absolutely would recommend them to a friend, my sister, o... view morer anyone. How nice to find a good honest mechanic, and his family! It`s the only place I go to have my car worked on now. I trust them.
