James Automotive

We’re back!
After a little family vacation filled with sunshine, good food and new adventures, we are refreshed and ready to be back with our team and serving the community we love.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from James Automotive!
Today, we celebrate the hardworking men and women who keep our communities moving forward. We’re especially thankful for our incredible team and the dedication they bring to the shop every day.

James Automotive will be closed Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day. Our after-hours drop box will be available, and we’ll return Tuesday ready to take care of you. We hope our team, customers, and community enjoy a safe and restful holiday weekend! 🇺🇸🔧

Dean Ertel changed out his painting here at the shop, and we’re excited to introduce you to Jingles! 🐾🦆

We love having Dean’s artwork on display and getting a fresh piece to enjoy. Be sure to check it out the next time you stop by James Automotive!

Last day of the month and it was a hot one.🔧🔥
Nothing fancy—just another day at the shop doing what we do. Now bring on the “BER” months because we are more than ready for cooler weather. 🍂

Two owners. Two VERY different personalities.
James: Clean desk. Everything has a place. Nice and tidy. 👌
Allison: Well… we’re not really sure what’s happening over there. 😂 Papers, coffee, sticky notes, probably three things she’s been looking for all morning…

Somehow, it works. 🤷‍♀️

Same business. Same goals. Completely different methods. 😂

This past weekend, James and I attended the ShopFix Hackers Conference—learning, growing, and getting even clearer on what’s next for James Automotive.

We’re excited for the next chapter and ready to keep building toward the vision we have for our shop, our team, and our future.

Growth doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when you invest in it. James and I have the opportunity to learn alongside hundreds of other shop owners and leaders who are committed to getting better every day. This investment isn’t just for us—it’s for our team, our customers, and the future of James Automotive.

Looks like a huddle… but it’s really three people trying to remember where James set his water cup. 😂
