was in a fender bender which required towing. He was very kind and
patient with her and her concerns. He not only had the car towed to
his shop, but he drove my aunt home.”
Steve was impressed with their follow up and constant updates
about the car. “Upon completion, Jonathan drove the car to her
residence. They were Fast! Accurate! And, the workmanship was
excellent and the service second to none.”
A few weeks later Steve had some concerns and Augusto told
him to bring the car back. “In two hours he called me back and
assured me he had checked and repaired it at no charge. I highly
recommend them.”
After 28 years in the business Augusto has gained a loyal following.
There is a good reason. He is a man on a mission.
“I have always loved cars. When I was young, I wanted the
challenge of fixing something. Now that I am a little older, I like to
help my customers get their cars looking good and working well.”
With cars so scare those are magic words. With the lack (and high
price) of new and used cars, people want to keep their cars longer
and preserve their beauty. That’s one reason Augusto sees so many
people bringing in their cars for reconditioning.
“I brought my BMW in for an estimate. Jonathan was professional
and honest. I scheduled my car to be fixed and he had it done on time.
It looks better than it did brand new!”
There is other news at Jadi Auto Recon.
Jonathon Grant Augusto (Jonathan Jr.), who worked with his father
in the car business, has enlisted in the Navy. “My son will be in a
submarine in the navy because he wants to serve his country.”
Jonathon Sr.’s wife Toni has also made cars her life’s work and
passion. She works at Napleton, a very large group of dealerships,
and is a director of Service, Parts and the Bodyshop. “We both share a
passion for cars and I am so proud of the excellent work that Jonathan
does. We go to races together and we enjoy our life, and our work.”
Augusto has done such a great job repairing and refreshing cars
that he works on domestic and exotic cars for large Auto Dealerships.
He also devised ways to keep cars looking good despite the South
Florida terrain. “We have a ceramic coating we put on cars to keep
them shiny. The beach salt air can erode the metal of your car, we
have an undercoating that keeps it rust free for quite a while.”
Jadi also paints fiberglass boats with the same perfectionism. “I
send my boats to Delray because of the quality of work and painting
at Jadi. They are old school in their craftsmanship. Jonathan knows
how to fix what other people have to replace.”
If your car needs detailing, collision work, painting, reconditioning
(or anything else) call and make an appointment. They also take all
insurance.
They look forward to meeting you and making your car sparkle.
