Joe George, owner of J&E Repair Shop

A hometown repair shop

Built in Forest, one honest repair at a time.

Joe George opened J&E Repair Shop in 2004 after growing up around service stations and working in automotive repair. The J is for Joe; the E is for his wife, Emily.

The goal remains simple: be honest with customers, do the job right the first time, and make things right when something falls short.
