About Us

How Our Portales Auto Repair Shop Started


In 2022, Jimmy Perkins opened J & J Automotive. We are built on one simple promise: Fix it right the first time. That philosophy guides everything we do, from the tools we use to the way we communicate with our customers. Whether you need a basic oil change, brake repair, or diagnostic service, you can count on our team to get the job done properly.


Jimmy has years of hands-on experience in the automotive industry and a reputation for doing business the right way: with honesty, respect, and real customer care. He’s ASE certified, passionate about quality work, and truly committed to treating people like neighbors, not just customers.
