I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I've had 6 of them - loved them all. This one has the V8. I love the I6 engine, but it just doesn't pull as well as I need it to when I go up steep hills. They all have flaky power windows. The early ones in this vintage of Jeeps (pre Stellantis) all had control modules that tended to die, and the OEM modules were almost more expensive than the car was worth. The switches were bad, too.
The windows, front and rear, on the passenger side died on this car, but the ones on the driver's side worked fine. This wasn't typical for this sort of module. So I talked to a couple of mechanics, since my regular guy wasn't in town. One said switches. Wanted 200 $. Another said switches. Wanted 400 $. Went to Joe's. First of all, he explained what he thought the problem might be. Turns out that the wiring for the switches frays as it goes from the body to the door. Eventually it breaks. Common problem that I didn't know anything about. I took it in. He was done the next day. Wiring problem. Fixed it and charged me 120 $. I paid in cash.
I've dealt with a lot of mechanics over the 60 years I"ve been driving cars. I can count on the fingers of one hand how many of them were competent and honest and answered my questions as well as he did. He's my new backup mechanic.

Joes Garage is well recommended. Joe is as honest as the ways come and his staff are the best in Yuma. I took my 2007 jeep to Joe after a couple of tire shops told us that we had some serious problems. Joe took the jeep for a run and came back and said the only thing would be front tires were a bit worn and he was right we had the tires replaced and that was it. The tires put on where I live were in fact defective. But Joe knows his stuff. Thank you Joe! Who by the way after talking with many people in our Park recommended his shop.

I would give minus stars if I could. I took my pickup to this place for a stalling issue when taking off from a stop. The next day he called and said my truck was ready. When I got there he told me there was a weak fuel pump and he replaced it which cost $500. I get in my truck to leave and it does the same thing as before, stalling when accelerating. I get home and call him and was told it was probably a transmission problem or possibly the torque converter and he didn't do that type of work. I knew that couldn't be right for when on the open road I accelerate and the transmission shifts very smoothly. I called another mechanic shop and took it to them. They test drove it and told me it was not a transmission issue but more likely an ignition issue. They found bad coil packs, and bad plugs and wires, replaced them, gave the truck a tuneup and now it runs great.
I wouldnt it send my worst enemy to Joes garage. Maybe it did have a weak fuel pump but I never had a problem with that. I feel I got ripped off for $500 by this place.

Omg! I love Joe. I called to ask a question about my Nissan and he gave me awesome advice and I have never taken my car there. He also told me before I buy another car I should call him.

Joe is great! His rates are reasonable the work is great. Overall 100% satisfied with the repairs. A sudden overheating problem sucks and just recovering from surgery meant I wasnt going to do it, plus it it was a challenging fix Joe's garage was up to the challenge!! Thanks Joe
