I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Jim was a super guy who I'm grateful to have known. He took great care of my cars, and always with a smile and a joke. He was honest and gave good advice. It was clear that he loved his business, and he touched many lives through it. He will truly be missed.

I Knew Jimmy for many years. There was never a mechanic who was more honest, fair and just an all around wonderful man! Jimmy always allowed me to pay my bill in installments and one time when I said to him " well, Jim we´re finally caught up" he responded "yeah, now we´ll start all over again" I will always love and miss dear Jim.
