The honest, no-bs shop on Russell Drive - cars, trucks, diesels and small engines, fixed right and fixed fair. Locals and travelers off the interstate alike.
4.8
Real work at the Russell Drive shop.
From a car that won't start to a full engine job to the mower in the garage - the same crew handles it.
The everyday work that keeps a car on the road - diagnosis, repair and upkeep for whatever comes in.
Serious engine trouble handled start to finish - customers credit them with saving cars headed for complete engine failure.
Trucks and diesels welcome - one over-the-road driver was fixed up and back on the highway the same visit.
Not just cars - small engines are part of the shop's name and part of the work.
Wheel and brake jobs done on site, right there under the awning.
Stuck and can't get there? Towing is available - ask for Cody.
Look no further! This is the mechanic of your dreams! No frills, no fluff, no bs. Just a thorough hard working team that gets the job done! I wish this shop was closer to me. But, I’m just passing through town. They really went above and beyond for me. I wouldn’t waste my time anywhere else in town. Trust me!
These are good honest people. I travel for a living and was heading to Woodburn Indiana. My truck decided to pee diesel all over my truck. We called a tow truck driver and he recommended this place and within a very short time l. They had it fixed and me back on the road for a very reasonable price. Thousands less then I thought.
Cody was so kind! I’m traveling from VA to CA. Saw dripping from my car and the bottom metal protector was coming off. He saw the leak and let me know it was just condensation from the ac. He didn’t have the bolt for the metal protector but he zip tied it so I could safely travel the rest of my trip. Really great guy!
My daughter was in Meridian Ms all the way from home in Sevierville Tn. Her car was giving her trouble which was alarming being so far from home. Turns out her car would of never gotten her back home and could of resulted in a complete engine failure! Cody made her a priority, and relentlessly fixed one issue after another. He fixed the car making it safe for her to travel. He had a huge heart to understand the bad position she was in. He did what I'd call the Lord's work and barely asked for much in return! If you are looking for a place you can actually trust to know how to fix your issues and will with an honest heart, try them! They are a twelve out of ten all the way around!
These guy are really angels. I damaged my engine in the highway, they understood my emergency and they expedited the engine replacement delivery and installation . They make me felt very comfortable, the owners and employees help me in everything without knowing me. For sure I have a favorite place in Mississippi. Thank you guys excellent job and you make me feel I was not alone on my way.
Mr. Cody took my car on the spot. He had one of his employees take me home because he wouldn't finish until the next day. And on the next day he called me to pick up my Jeep. He was very friendly and professional. The ladies in the office were friendly and professional as well. I'm very appreciative of J & P prompt service. Job well ✔. Thank You!
J & P Auto Repair & Small Engines is an owner-run shop at 127 Russell Drive in Meridian, right by the interstate. The reviews say the same thing over and over: the work is thorough, the people are honest, and the bill comes in lower than folks expect - one driver was fixed up for "thousands less than I thought."
Plenty of the reviews come from people who broke down passing through on the highway and got treated like regulars - engines saved, trucks back on the road, and small kindnesses that went beyond the repair. The office team gets a shout-out too for being friendly and professional.
