Inglewood Auto Repair

Have been doing my own mechanic work for 30+ years. As I got older decided to let the local mechanic help out. This guy came recommended. Did okay on a couple of jobs but then I started looking more closely at his work. Not good. Today I discovered he incorrectly installed ball joints. He left the zerk fitting out of one which filled with water; and re-installed an old plugged up one on the other. Both ball joints were running without grease. I guess he figured no one would ever look. Earlier I got suspicious when I asked him to adjust the play in my steering gear box. He gave me a great deal, no charge. At home I crawled under the vehicle and looked. The adjuster nut was still crusted with 10 years worth of crud. No wrench had been applied. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice and goodbye....along with my wife's car, and my daughters and a son-in-law.'s truck. A nice smile may make it seem like you're doing good work, but then I guess he figures only 1 in a 100 will ever really check. That's good enough to stay in business. Too bad, since he gets such high marks from the trusting members of the community. more

Referred by a friend when I bought an 87' E150. Told Jim I was taking it to Mexico and to do what needed to be done. Other than the A/C system that I knew needed replacing, only a couple hundred later I was out the door. Van was driven to and continues to run happily in its new home in Mexico. Jim does what needs to be done, not ""what you might want to be done"". Unless of course you do want something else done beyond his suggestions. Pros: Professional, Fast and Honest. Need I say more? Cons: I will not be able to get in due to this review. more

Jim put in a new radiator for my Camry and was really patient with all of my questions. I was also happy with his professional attitude, simple directness (but polite) about everything. I was frantic before I took my car to him because I kept finding negative ratings (or even scary ones) about 2 other mechanics I was about to take my car to...and then my coworker said to take it to him and I did. I'm really glad I did. I no longer feel a panic about who to trust my car with in the future. He treated me and my little camry very well. :-) Pros: HONEST, reasonable price, quick, Nice person Cons: none so far! more

I've been taking all of my cars (Jeep, Blazer, Aerostar) to Jim Delker since 1998, with total satisfaction. Looking for a good, reliable, honest mechanic? Look no further! Pros: Very customer oriented and helpful Cons: Closed Sundays/Mondays more
