JAXSPEC

"Needed a new clutch for my 2010 Acura TL sh-awd. Not such a common car so I was somewhat nervous about getting it done. As a result I procrastinated and the slippage was gradually getting worse. Found JAXSPEC following an internet search. I had already tried the dealerships and several small shop (good) mechanics. I was sensing some reluctance on their part to do the job. Anyway, started talking (texting) with JAXSPEC and was comfortable from the get-go. Excellent knowledge and process for providing a detailed work and cost estimate. Carson was my contact and he was just great!! Very straightforward and communicative. I wasn’t sure, but he seemed to know what needed to be done. It took a little longer than expected but I would rather the work be done right. He had the flywheel resurfaced and went with an OEM clutch. I have just passed 500 miles of in-city driving and the clutch seems ‘broken in’. Feels like a different car with so much power and responsiveness. Andrew?, the mechanic technician did the work (A+) but I got the impression that they work as a team and Carson and others were involved too. Thank you Carson and Andrew and other unnamed people that helped. Super happy with everything I experienced at JAXSPEC."

"I was recommended this place by a mopar group in Jax so I went in thinking it would be better than the dealership… I was wrong Twice! The first time they were supposed to fix the coolant and some valves. They had my car for 2 days, when I picked my car up they told me they fixed everything and my coolant would be working fine. 2 days later my car went up in sheer smoke …. In Texas! I had moved to Texas and pulled my cawith uhaul, so when I finally got to my destination in Texas and untied my car and started driving it to uhaul… it went up in smoke smoke in traffic. Had to have it towed home. They did not put coolant or even water in. My car def had coolant before I took it in. So I’m not sure what happened. But it cost me $200 to fix from another repair place after letting it sit for a month because I couldn’t fix to get it paid again. So imagine how annoying that was. Fast forward it’s September I’m back in Florida, my car is knocking. I for whatever reason decide to give them a second chance, and these ppl literally charged me $580 for I HAVE NO IDEA. My car is still knocking and the kid who gave me my car had no idea how to explain what was wrong … mainly cause they never looked for the problem, he said “it may be rust on the part that keeps my engine up, so drive safe and get a new engine” even tho he himself said he didn’t know what the issue was because what he fixed for $580 was the solenoid… and once he fixed that the knocking didn’t go away, so it was out of his hands. Never going back here, they only care about those expensive euro cars or the corvettes and high end cars parked in the lot. I wish I went to the dealership."

"Citizens of Jacksonville, Under no circumstance should you listen to any of these negative reviews below. I bought a vehicle in Miami and was driving it home to Houston when the lower ball joint gave way. It caused a ton of damage. I originally towed the car to Maxies auto (decent folks but I did not feel the price was fair). I started hunting for another shop which there are several in the area (some better reviews than others). That's when I stumbled onto JAXSPEC. I called them at 9am sharp, Carson answered the phone and listened to the rundown. THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING!! Carson is the man!! This shop is phenomenal! They have the parts and they offer fair labor. I can't speak any higher about this company. Do yourself a favor, if you have a sports car and need expert help; look no further. I'm mechanically inclined and do most of the work on my vehicles. I can vouch that these guys know their stuff. Had this happened back home I would have fixed the vehicle myself; however, these guys treated me like I was at home. With that being said if you're driving a car and its your beater.. This might not be the shop for you. Find a jiffy lube. Sincerely, Travis from Houston"

"Fast forward things have changed greatly. In the last few months during Kevin’s exit things have went down hill and fast. The shop manager took my trailer (cut the lock) without asking for personal use. Never apologized or tried to make it right. Now they are focused on the JDM world hoping to avails the many a very euro customers."

"Carson did an incredible job converting my e46 M3 from an SMG to manual transmission at a very fair price. I was skeptical the conversion was not done 100% correctly at first but I am having no issues with my car now. This was a time consuming job that involved installing a new clutch, flywheel, clutch pedal, self centering shifter, trimming, and fine tuning. The long list of parts took forever to arrive and labor took longer than expected. However, I would take my car to JAXSPEC again with confidence they can do any job. Incredibly grateful Carson was able to save my car."
