As a resident of Atlantic Highlands who owns 2 vehicles I wish I was writing a favorable review for this auto repair shop. My husband brought his car in for and estimate of repairs. He was quoted $400 more than the dealership (which tends to be higher). When he told the owner Jimmy that, the owner replied "Fine then get your f***ing car outta here and go there". His car was held hostage until he paid $150 in cash for the estimate (he said that was the price to diagnose the problem). Two years later I had a bulb out on my Jeep. I went into the auto parts store (next to J&A) and the guy behind the counter was unsure of the replacement to give me. There was a mechanic outside so, I asked him if I could pay him to help remove the bulb he said he would do it no problem. As he was under the car the owner Jimmy came out yelling and cursing at him (in front of adults and children coming out of the elementary school across the street). He then turned to me and yelled "what the hell does this look like a charity shop?!"
If you want your bulb changed pay me and I'll go next door and buy one." I would crawl on my hands and knees before I would bring a vehicle to his repair shop. The owner Jimmy is arrogant,obnoxious and money hungry.
And for the record the gas station that is on the premises is not owned by the same person.
