If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely good-hearted mechanic, look no further than Steve at SJM AutoWerks. He’s not just a skilled mechanic — he’s the kind of person who truly cares about his customers. Every time I’ve brought my car in, Steve has gone above and beyond to make sure everything is handled with care, honesty, and precision. He’s patient, explains things in a way that makes sense, and never tries to upsell or pressure you. It’s rare to find someone so passionate about their work and so committed to doing right by people. Steve treats every car like it’s his own and every customer like family. I’m beyond grateful for all he’s done and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my car. Highly recommend!

The team at SJM was very kind and quick. Came in to have my heat shield looked at cause it was rattling, and while they worked on it, they noticed some other pressing issues, took some pics, and let me know of maintenance I should have looked at. Scheduled an appt for the next day, and they quickly got my car up, repaired, and inspected in the same day. Best of all, the price was lower than I'd expected, so I'm extra grateful for that. Thanks, SJM!

SJM Autowerks! Great company! Quoted me 2 1/2 hour est of work! Got it handled in less then hour with great quality and care! Solved my rear bumper problem with no problem! I will use them again for anything body related! Freindly ! Caring! Very clean facilities! And professional workmanship!

Great experience from start to finish. I was looking to have a pre-purchase inspection done, as I'm not local, and SJM was recommended to me on Discord by a local car enthusiast. The price was the lowest in the area by far, they were communicative throughout the whole process through email, always quick to answer my millions of questions. And they were extremely flexible, even picking up the car from the seller and returning it after a last minute change of plans. The report was thorough, and Marisa even checked in with the last shop to service the vehicle. Absolutely worth the money and then some, and I wish I was local so I could use them for work in the future.

I needed my alternator and catalytic converter replaced as well as new brakes all around. Received a transmission flush and brake fluid replaced too. Wonderful team over at SJM Autowerks! Provided me with a loner vehicle and all work was completed in a very timely fashion with explanations to all the work completed. Staff was welcoming and professional too!

Each time I bring my car to SJM, I go home totally satisfied. The feeling I get from everybody I come in contact with is that they are servicing me as well as my vehicle. Thanks for such great service and for advising me which issues I might to address in the future. As I tell you each time, “Great Job!”

Steve and his whole crew are fantastic! I've been going to him for 10 years and haven't been disappointed! Steve knows his stuff! He explains everything and the repairs are done right. Whatever your ride is, SJM will keep it rollin!
