Quick no hassle State inspection, literally just 15 minutes. Friendly staff, I highly recommend this place if you are in a hurry. I will definitely bring all my cars here to get inspected.

I've been a resident here at JP for a while and I've gotten to know the people there whenever I go. They have someone that mans the gas station and will ask you for the type of gas and how much you want to fill it. Just give them your credit card or whatever you pay with and they do it for you. You can also get your vehicle inspection sticker renewed here; its on a first-come, first-serve basis; make sure you bring your required documents prior to coming in. :)

Needed my inspection sticker in a pinch and they stayed open a few minutes later to accommodate. Got my inspection sticker without any other up sell. Would definitely recommend

This place is great. I’ve brought my car here several times. Stavros knows his stuff and provides terrific service. From new brakes to oil changes, this is my go-to mechanic in JP. They don’t try to charge you for work you don’t need and they make useful recommendations. I’ve gotten quotes from other places in the area and JP Auto Service is competitive.

Great service. I went here for a second opinion on my failed inspection. They are honest as they correct the previous inspection since the parking brake is working perfectly while being straight forward about the front light that I need to repair. Mechanics are friendly and I appreciate the help.

Had the worse car inspection experience ever. One of the inspectors is really nice the older man with a beard and he’s willing to work with you and tell you what’s wrong but their head inspector I do no recommend he says nothing has a poor job at communicating what’s wrong with the car and just takes it for inspection instead of asking question before to even see if the car should be inspected. Honestly do not recommend them it was a nightmare and they failed the car three times and now have to go through another process. Would stay away from inspector 1035 he’s terrible

This station claims to be full service, but there were no attendants anywhere when I pulled in. No one was outside, no one approached my car, and there were no signs indicating it was full service only. I paid with my credit card and pumped my own gas because there was literally no alternative. After I finished, a man came out yelling at me and threatened to charge me $400 for pumping my own gas. That is completely unacceptable and honestly intimidating. If this is truly a full-service station, that needs to be clearly posted, and there needs to be an attendant present. You can’t leave customers with no guidance and then threaten them after the fact. I would not recommend stopping here.
