D & J AUTO LLC

Took my 2005 Trailblazer in for an estimate on clunking sound it was starting to make and within an hour I knew what was needed. Doug (mechanic) and Michelle (manager) were both very pleasant to interact with and patient with all my questions. Felt good with price quoted and taking it back to have them do the needed repair. Will definitely do a follow up after it’s all set and done. If you’re looking for a shop to look at your vehicle and give you a free estimate, I would highly recommend them.

I had a unique situation in that I bought a car for a friend that lives in Cleburne and he was not able to get the car’s catalytic converter fixed so it would pass the emission test. I live in Fort Worth so I looked online and found D&J auto that was close to where the car was and had good reviews. Not only did they fix the car quickly, but they even took it to get the emissions test for me so I didn’t have to drive to Cleburne (and it passed the test)! They were very nice, dependable and helpful.

They told me the issue was my ECM, then later said there were other problems too. I ended up spending over $1,000 and they still didn’t fix anything. My car sat there for a month, and I eventually had to tow it to another shop. The new shop quickly figured out it was related to the intake manifold. The whole time, they seemed unsure about what they were doing and kept changing their story. It felt like I was just being led in circles. Honestly, you’re better off cutting your losses and taking your car somewhere else.

I really hate to leave negative reviews yet I cannot in good faith recommend this mechanic. I took my car in because I was having trouble with my transmission. They came highly recommended by a trusted friend. I was told that the transmission needed replacing and they would install a rebuilt one for around $5,000. To be fair, they helped me find financing for the repair and offered a warranty. The problem came after the work was done. I drove my car to work in Bedford a couple of days after the repair and started having issues with the new transmission. There was transmission fluid all over the parking lot where I work. And strangely I discovered my air filter was missing! They sent a tow truck at their expense and a couple days told me that a seal had slipped in the new transmission which they fixed and they found my air filter and placed it back in the car. A couple of days later, I'm driving back to work in Bedford when the radiator light came on! I was able to get the car safely off in a parking lot off of Berry St. Someone had to pick me up. After work, I had someone take me back to the car where upon inspection we realized that there was a hose leading to the radiator from the transmission that had popped off... There was no sign of a hose clamp anywhere! It was as if someone had just crammed the hose on the line and left it! Upon closer inspection we noticed other strange anomolies. The radiator was not secure in it's housing, there were hoses that were supposed to be connected to the engine and manifold that were missing screws. It was as if everything was thrown back together and not secured. I took the car to another mechanic and he found broken and missing parts and everything was just bouncing around. This mechanic took pictures (attached) and secured everything. I am so dissipointed in the shody work provided by D&J Auto. I will never take a car there again and I cannot in good faith recommend to anyone.

Honest and reasonably priced. Our "go to" for any repairs for our 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Highly recommend.
