J.F. Sands Auto Repair

I've been taking my vehicles here for about a year. Always pleasant, easy to make an appt, accommodating. They seem honest and the prices are reasonable. No reason to look any further.

I drove all over Seabrook, Nashua and Hampton looking for a shop that could fit my big box truck in the garage, lift it, and do all the necessary servicing. J.F. Sands is the one stop shop as they say they are. Jay and his son are very diligent and patient. I kept coming back with more questions and they answered each one thoroughly and even showed me what the problems were. Lots of respect for them, I learned a ton, and I'll be coming back.

Brought truck in for smoking issue. They said it was a bad turbo, paid $4,000 and did not solve anything. They said it was an injector, paid another $1,000 and solved nothing. Truck still smokes worse than ever! Said I needed the parking brake fixed, paid another $1,000 and it came back with the dash brake lights on. Every time we go there, they say they are on lunch. Another truck I brought in for a coolant issue. They said it was an EGR, paid $1,800, and they motor blew up a week later. These guys have no clue what they are doing (at least with diesels) and just like to throw parts at issues. Would not recommend to anyone.

For the first time the AC was not working in my 1994 Z28 convertible. 3 days later, (parts delay) and a new evaporater, all seems fine again - I'll know this summer! $800. Friendly owner.

I have brought my vehicles here for any repairs I can't do myself over several years. The timely manner, good prices and in general service is great. I would recommend them to anyone! Nice, friendly and just over all decent people!
