At L&J Auto, we believe every driver in Essex deserves an honest mechanic — one who explains what's wrong before touching a wrench, and fixes it right the first time.

Diagnosed right, fixed right
Whether it's a scheduled maintenance visit or an unexpected repair, L&J Auto has the expertise and equipment to get you back on the road safely.
Check engine light on? We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem — not guess at it — so you get an accurate repair plan every time.
Spongy pedals or grinding noises? We inspect, repair, and replace brake pads, rotors, and fluid — because stopping is just as important as going.
Regular oil changes are the simplest way to extend your engine's life. We use quality oils and filters suited to your vehicle's specifications.
Uneven tire wear or your car pulling to one side? We handle tire rotations, balances, and alignments to keep you tracking straight and safe.
Overheating is no joke. We service radiators, water pumps, thermostats, and hoses to make sure your engine stays at the right temperature.
Slipping gears or delayed shifts? From fluid flushes to full rebuilds, we diagnose and repair transmission issues before they leave you stranded.
Don't see what you need? Give us a call — we handle a wide range of repairs.

My brakes were making a terrible noise and I was worried about the cost. They diagnosed it quickly, explained everything, and the price was exactly what they quoted.
