Our story

Run by Jack and Troy, Trusted by Pasadena

J&G Auto is a family shop on Walnut Street, run by owner Jack and his son Troy. Between them they handle everything from alignments and brake jobs to oil changes and catalytic converter repairs, and customers keep coming back because the estimates match what they actually pay.

We built our reputation the old fashioned way: word of mouth. When a customer's Toyota Land Cruiser rolled in with 350,000 miles on it, we treated it with the same care as any car in the lot. When another customer's pulley failed in the rain at 4am, we had the car diagnosed and repaired before the day was out.

Whatever brought you to our door, an alignment, a brake job, or a strange noise you can't place, we'll tell you straight what's wrong and what it costs to fix it.

  • Father-and-son owned
  • Straight, accurate estimates
  • Handles high-mileage repairs
  • Word-of-mouth reputation

What customers say

“Jack and his son Troy have helped me with everything—alignment, catalytic converter, brakes, and oil changes. They're reasonably priced and always spot-on with their estimates for both cost and time. Really great place, super reliable, and now my go-to for anything my car needs!”

Mabel Curiel

“I lived in Pasadena for ten years, and J&G Auto was recommended. I have a deep distrust of mechanics, but the guys at J&G are the most honest mechanics I have ever met. They took terrific care of my 1998 Toyota Landcruiser, which had 350,000 miles. Jack, the owner, is a wonderful person, and all the staff are top-notch.”

Hfolsch

“I want to first off thank the wonderful service provided by the professional staff working here. They really made my situation much easier on me... They were able to repair my vehicle within the end of the day and I am very pleased with the work they completed on my vehicle. I will surely come back to this location for my other repairs.”
